Grand Central
Where should I meet my car at Grand Central?
Grand Central Terminal’s main entrance is at 89 East 42nd Street at Park Avenue. For Penn Station and Grand Central car service, enter your railroad, scheduled arrival and rider mobile number. The chauffeur texts the exact meeting spot and meets you at the main entrance or arrivals area. The station’s yellow-taxi stand is at East 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue.
A Long Island Rail Road passenger at Grand Central Madison can come up several blocks from a Metro-North passenger leaving by the terminal’s main doors. The Madison Avenue side has elevator-only street entrances at 44th and 48th Streets, as well as an entrance inside 383 Madison Avenue at 47th. Tell dispatch which exit you plan to use before heading upstairs, especially if another traveler is meeting you from a different train. An ordinary station pickup includes 15 minutes from the scheduled time.
Rates
What are Midtown East airport and hourly rates?
Four vehicle classes have published fares to all four airports. For an executive with two suitcases going straight from an office to LaGuardia, select a one-way transfer. A second appointment, a hotel luggage collection and an airport drop can share one hourly reservation if the chauffeur needs to stay with you.

Assistants can book an executive’s one-way run from a Park Avenue office to LaGuardia as corporate transportation.
United Nations
Which entrance do I give for a United Nations visit?
United Nations visitor check-in is at 801 First Avenue at East 45th Street. Visitors then cross to the entrance at East 46th Street and First Avenue for screening. For a tour, use the check-in address on your reservation and give dispatch the time you have to report there. For a delegation, supply the destination and arrival instructions from the host. The visitor route and a delegate’s instructions can differ.
During the September 2026 General Assembly, the city closed First Avenue from East 41st to East 48th streets and several cross streets between First and Second avenues. Send the specific meeting time and keep the rider’s phone available for the approach on the day. Use our UN General Assembly transportation page to coordinate multiple arrivals. Major event days keep the 3-hour hourly minimum; book a longer block to keep the car for the whole event.
Drive Times
How long should I allow from Midtown East to the airport?
Typical Midtown planning times outside the weekday peaks are 45–75 minutes for JFK, about 30–50 for LaGuardia, 35–60 for Newark and 30–50 for Teterboro. Times vary with traffic; your chauffeur tracks it live. For a morning commute or late-afternoon departure, allow up to 2 hours for JFK, 90 minutes for LaGuardia or Newark and 60 minutes for Teterboro. Add any time your airline requires for bag drop, security and boarding. Tell dispatch when you need to be at the terminal.
For Midtown to JFK car service, the Queens Midtown Tunnel connects the Manhattan approach with the Long Island Expressway, with the Van Wyck serving JFK. Our commercial-plated vehicles use highways and avenues. If your meeting is still in progress when your return flight changes, send the replacement flight number so the arrival pickup follows the right flight.
At rush hour, allow up to 2 hours for airport transfers to JFK from Midtown East.
Rail vs Car
Is rail or a chauffeur easier for the JFK connection?
One change at Jamaica connects Grand Central Madison with the JFK AirTrain. A private transfer begins at the pickup address you enter, which can save moving bags from a hotel to a station. Choose based on where the party starts and whether someone will meet them on arrival.
| Midtown East trip | How boarding works | What to plan |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan to JFK | The chauffeur texts the pickup at your building | Up to 2 riders and 2 bags travel to the departure terminal |
| LIRR and AirTrain to JFK | Board at Grand Central Madison and change at Jamaica | Carry the bags through the interchange and allow for both services |
| Yellow taxi at Grand Central | Use the cab stand at East 42nd and Vanderbilt | Standard taxi seating varies between 4 and 5 passengers by vehicle |
Booking
How does an assistant book a Park Avenue pickup?
Enter the building number, visitor lobby street and the traveler’s mobile. For the return from a hotel, use the guest entrance and enter the second leg separately.
Select passengers and bags, then add any stop to the one-way quote. Include the flight number on arrivals and tell dispatch if a separate colleague is arriving on another flight.
Review the written confirmation. The traveler receives the vehicle description and plate directly, even when the assistant pays from another city.
For a run of appointments, send the scheduled arrival time at each office and the final release address. A dedicated corporate roadshow coordinator is available for a separate charge on the quote.
