Ferry Landings
Which Long Island City ferry landing should I put on the reservation?
Two LIC waterfront landings have different street approaches. NYC Ferry lists Long Island City at 46th Avenue and Center Boulevard, and Hunters Point South at 54th Avenue and 2nd Street. Copy the landing name from the sailing you intend to take. For a pickup after the ferry, send the arrival time, the number of people walking off and a mobile number that works ashore.
A driver meeting a ferry passenger needs a street-level destination. The landing name helps dispatch place the car on the correct part of the waterfront. The chauffeur texts the exact legal meeting spot. Give a separate address if the destination is an apartment along Center Boulevard, even when the passenger plans to walk there from the pier first. Regular pickups include 15 minutes from the scheduled time.
MoMA PS1 uses 22-25 Jackson Avenue for its main entrance. The museum describes a courtyard between the front entrance and its building, and a public plaza on 46th Avenue. For a gallery opening, distinguish the time guests should be inside from the time they should reach the street. For the ride home, use the mobile number of the person leaving with the car.
Ferry riders arriving in Long Island City meet a transfer from the landing at the exact legal spot the chauffeur texts.
Drive Times
How much travel time should I allow from LIC to the airports?
Typical late-afternoon trips to JFK took about 55–75 minutes from Long Island City/Hunters Point in NYC’s October 2025 for-hire trip records. Times vary with traffic; your chauffeur tracks it live. Newark trips in the same sample took roughly 35–50 minutes between 5 and 7 a.m. and 65–100 minutes between 4 and 6 p.m. The published general-traffic range for LaGuardia is 15–25 minutes. Budget roughly 45–70 minutes to Teterboro for the drive from LIC. Dispatch plans your exact departure on highways and avenues suitable for our commercial-plated fleet.
For a scheduled flight, our departure advice is to leave two hours before a domestic flight or three hours before an international flight. For a long Newark crossing at rush hour, use the drive estimate and the airline’s check-in time to move your pickup earlier. For private aviation, send the FBO name and wheels-up time. We recommend leaving 75 minutes before wheels-up, with additional travel time when the crossing requires it.
MoMA PS1
Should I take the subway or reserve a car for MoMA PS1?
Court Square–23rd Street is about a two-minute walk from PS1, according to the museum. A subway arrival works for guests meeting at the museum without luggage. A reserved car serves a party coming directly from a flight, a group leaving for a second venue or a visitor who needs a named pickup contact.
| Trip | Getting there | What to plan |
|---|---|---|
| Subway to PS1 | Court Square–23rd Street, then the museum’s short walk | Set a meeting time at the Jackson Avenue entrance. |
| Ferry to an LIC engagement | Choose between the two waterfront landings by street address | Include the walk or reserve a separate car from the landing. |
| Chauffeur from JFK | Real-time flight tracking and 60 domestic or 90 international minutes of airport waiting | Send the arriving flight and the Queens destination when booking. |
Hourly
Can I keep a chauffeur for meetings in Queens and Manhattan?
Three hours in an Executive Sedan costs $330 before optional gratuity. Book hourly chauffeur service NYC for an itinerary such as a Court Square meeting, a waterfront site visit and a final appointment in Manhattan. The clock runs from scheduled pickup to final drop-off. Waiting during a presentation uses booked time. An overrun is billed in 30-minute increments at the class rate.
For a team visiting several properties, put the first building’s door and the final destination on the itinerary, then list each intermediate appointment in order. Give dispatch the on-site contact for any stop where a different person takes over. An assistant can request a corporate account for monthly Net 15 invoices with cost-center and PO fields. A dedicated roadshow coordinator is available as a separate charge on the written quote.
From a Court Square office to a waterfront site visit and a final appointment in Manhattan, corporate travel keeps a team’s meetings on one itinerary.
Booking
Booking an LIC pickup
Choose a transfer for a single journey or hourly service for a series of visits. Enter your waterfront, hotel or Jackson Avenue address and the passenger’s mobile number.
Select the class using the passenger and luggage totals. Add flight details, child-seat requirements or a request for a quiet ride before checkout.
Look for written acceptance. The rider gets the chauffeur’s first name, phone number, vehicle and plate by text before pickup. For a same-day request call dispatch.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
How do I price a JFK ride from my waterfront apartment?
The published Executive Sedan fare from Long Island City to JFK starts at $168.63. Enter your building entrance and airline terminal for the exact price. Book the return separately if you want a car from JFK after your flight home.
Could we put two adults and two children in the sedan?
Four passengers exceed the sedan’s two seats. Choose a Suburban or Escalade ESV. Child seats are $25 each, with up to two per booking. Include each child’s age, height, weight and seat setup.
How do guests find their car after a flight to LaGuardia?
The chauffeur sends the meeting instructions to the rider. Standard pickup is included. For a guest who wants to meet someone inside with a name sign and luggage assistance, add airport meet and greet for $25.
What if colleagues land on two different flights?
A shared car is timed to the last landing, and the airport wait begins then. Book one vehicle per flight if the earlier passenger needs to reach Long Island City for a meeting before the others arrive.
Can you collect us beside a private jet?
Yes. Our Teterboro Airport chauffeur service offers planeside pickup and drop-off at the aircraft, subject to the FBO’s normal security process. Give dispatch the operator, the flight team’s timing and your LIC destination.
Can a group of 14 leave the museum together?
Reserve multiple vehicles. The largest single class is the Executive Sprinter with room for 13 passengers and 14 bags. Assign each car a lead passenger with a mobile number and include the onward address for that group.
