Studio Calls
Where should the car go for a museum or studio call in Astoria?
The entrance to the Museum of the Moving Image is at 36-01 35th Avenue, between 36th and 37th Streets. The museum is next to Kaufman Astoria Studios. If a car is taking a guest to a screening, use the museum address. If a crew member is due on set, copy the production entrance from the call sheet and supply the receiving contact. The museum and studio need separate itinerary entries when you visit both.
For an outdoor event, the main entrance to Socrates Sculpture Park is at Vernon Boulevard and Broadway. Someone coming by ferry will arrive at a different place. NYC Ferry puts the Astoria landing at 3-10 Astoria Boulevard. Give dispatch the landing or park name in full, then include the address. Your chauffeur texts the exact pickup point for that day, including when a group arrives at the waterfront by boat.
A screening, portrait session and dinner can share one hourly chauffeur. Put the last must-arrive time in your notes. A producer can arrange separate cars for talent and crew leaving at different times. Every chauffeur is background-checked, and we sign NDAs on request. For payroll or job accounting, put a project identifier in the PO field on your corporate account.
Studio days of fittings and location changes in Astoria fit an all-day chauffeur, with each stop included in the booked time.
Drive Times
How long does it take to get from Astoria to the airport?
For a weekday departure from Astoria between 4 and 6 p.m., typical JFK trips took 45–65 minutes on the road. Times vary with traffic; your chauffeur tracks it live. For Newark, early-morning city trip records show about 45–55 minutes, and public neighborhood estimates span 45–75 minutes in general traffic. The published general-traffic range for LaGuardia is 10–20 minutes. Queens-to-Teterboro general traffic estimates span 45–80 minutes. Dispatch plans your exact departure on highways and avenues suitable for our commercial-plated fleet.
For an early departure, give us the flight time and say whether you are checking luggage. Leave two hours before domestic flights and three before international flights, allowing more time when your airline’s cutoff and the day’s road conditions call for it. For a private departure from Teterboro, book against your FBO’s time and allow at least the recommended 75 minutes before wheels-up.
Bus or Car
Is the airport bus convenient from Astoria?
The M60 Select Bus Service has a LaGuardia-bound stop at Hoyt Avenue South and 31st Street. It also serves Astoria Boulevard South at Steinway Street. For a traveler walking out of the N/W area with a carry-on, that can be a convenient start. For a family leaving an apartment or a production traveling with cases, the choice usually turns on the walk to the stop and how the luggage will travel.
| Astoria departure | Pickup arrangement | Practical difference |
|---|---|---|
| M60 airport bus | Board at a published bus stop | Check the terminal and the day’s MTA service before walking to the stop. |
| Reserved Executive Sedan | Chauffeur texts the location at your address | The car takes up to two travelers and two bags to the departure terminal. |
| Reserved SUV | Choose a Suburban or Escalade ESV | Room for six people and six bags, with child seats available at booking. |
Early airport departures from Astoria need the flight time and whether you are checking luggage.
LaGuardia Pickup
Where do I meet the chauffeur coming home from LaGuardia?
At Terminal B, car-service passengers meet their vehicle on Level 2 of the Terminal B parking garage; follow the Car Services signs. At Terminal C, follow the pickup instructions to the arrivals inner lane. Your chauffeur texts the precise spot, vehicle and plate. If you want the chauffeur to come inside, select the $25 name-sign service when booking LaGuardia airport car service.
Your flight’s actual landing starts the free wait, 60 minutes for domestic and 90 for international arrivals. A delay before landing uses none of that time. After the included wait, additional minutes are $1.83 in the Executive Sedan, $2.17 in the Suburban, $2.50 in the Escalade ESV and $3.00 in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series. If the airline changes your flight, send the replacement flight details to dispatch.

Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
What address should I enter for a pickup after a museum screening?
The Museum of the Moving Image entrance is at 36-01 35th Avenue. Enter that address as your pickup and select your airline terminal to see the exact trip price. Give dispatch the screening’s end time and a mobile number for the guest leaving the museum.
Can I request a booster for a trip to my parents’ home?
Yes. A booster is $25. Reserve an SUV or Sprinter and include the child’s age, weight and height. The chauffeur helps place the seat and the parent checks the fit. Read our child seat policy for setup details.
What happens if the screening ends later than scheduled?
With an hourly reservation, time at the venue comes out of the hours booked. Once you run over, the additional time is billed in 30-minute increments at your vehicle’s rate. Contact dispatch when the program timing changes.
Is there a charge for adding a wardrobe stop?
On a transfer, the booking system prices the stop when you add it. Each scheduled stop includes 15 minutes. For a day of fittings and multiple changes of location, hourly service includes those stops within the booked time.
Can someone arrange the pickup without joining the ride?
Yes. Give the guest’s first and last name and their mobile number. The guest receives the chauffeur’s first name, phone, vehicle and plate. The booking can be completed online or by phone without a mobile app.
Can I schedule the return ride from a different address?
Each direction has its own route and price. Book the outbound trip to the studio and use the restaurant or hotel address for the return. Send changes by phone or email if the evening plan moves.
