Your ride from NYU
to ISP.

NYU breaks — Thanksgiving, winter and spring — are the busiest times for downtown pickups. From the Village, LaGuardia and Newark are often the quickest airports, but JFK is just as easy to book.

Your chauffeur starts out of Greenwich Village, then takes the Midtown Tunnel and the Long Island Expressway east to Ronkonkoma. That's about 52 mi — 1 hr 2 min at the quiet hours, 1 hr 20 min when the Long Island Expressway is backed up.

ISP ranks farthest of the six airports from NYU; LGA is nearest at about 42 min. Enter the address above for the fixed fare from NYU — tolls included.

Students

Break travel
from NYU.

The days the dorms close for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks are the busiest of the year for NYU pickups — every student needs a ride on the same morning. Book as soon as the flight is booked. A parent can make the booking and get the confirmation and driver details too.

When to Leave

Pickup time
for ISP.
