Black Car Service
New York City
The Long Island black car that knows Manhattan. Door to door from Nassau or Suffolk to anywhere in the five boroughs, hourly service inside the city, and every NYC airport. One fixed price, no surge.
A black car service built for the Long Island to NYC trip
Most NYC black car companies are based in the city and treat Long Island as an out-of-zone surcharge. We are the reverse. Infinite Car Service is based in Dix Hills, and the run into Manhattan is the trip we do more than any other besides the airports. Our chauffeurs know which way the LIE is moving at 6:40am, when the Midtown Tunnel backs up past Van Dam Street, and which crosstown streets are closed for a motorcade this week.
Black car service means a reserved, chauffeured black sedan or SUV with a fixed price set at booking. No app roulette in front of the Javits Center at 6pm, no yellow cab line outside MSG after a Knicks game, no watching the LIRR board at Penn Station with a bag in each hand. The car is waiting where the chauffeur told you it would be.
We handle the whole range of city trips: executives commuting in for board meetings, couples going to dinner and a show, families flying out of JFK or LaGuardia, and multi-stop days booked hourly so one chauffeur stays with you from the first meeting to the last.

Long Island to New York City, Door to Door
| From | To | Typical Time | What to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dix Hills / Melville | Midtown Manhattan | 60–90 min | LIE to the Queens–Midtown Tunnel. In the morning peak we leave earlier rather than promise a time we cannot hit. |
| Manhasset / Great Neck | Upper East Side | 35–60 min | Northern Boulevard to the Queensboro Bridge avoids the tunnel toll and, often, the tunnel backup. |
| Garden City / Hempstead | Financial District | 55–85 min | Belt Parkway to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel is usually faster than going through Midtown. |
| Huntington / Northport | Madison Square Garden | 65–95 min | Drop at the 31st or 33rd Street side depending on the event. Pickup point texted before the final buzzer. |
| Anywhere on Long Island | Javits Center | 60–100 min | Eleventh Avenue is a parking lot at show close. Chauffeur stages nearby and comes in when you text. |
| Manhattan hotel | JFK or LaGuardia | 35–75 min | We run Manhattan-to-airport for clients staying in the city. Same fixed-rate, flight-tracked service. |
Times are typical door-to-door ranges. Manhattan trips are quoted as a fixed price that already includes the Manhattan congestion toll and bridge or tunnel tolls, so nothing is added at drop-off. Hourly service in the city is $130 per hour with a three-hour minimum, gratuity included.

Black Car Service, Answered
How much is a black car from Long Island to Manhattan?
It depends on the pickup town and the vehicle. Trips from western Nassau into Midtown are the least expensive, central Suffolk towns like Dix Hills and Melville cost more, and an SUV is more than a sedan. Every quote is a fixed price that includes tolls and the Manhattan congestion charge, and it does not change if traffic is bad. Send the pickup address and destination and you will have a number back, usually within five minutes.
Do you pick up in Manhattan, or only on Long Island?
Both. We pick up in Manhattan for the ride home to Long Island, for hotel-to-airport transfers, and for hourly service inside the city. We are based in Dix Hills, so a Manhattan-only trip with no Long Island leg is typically booked hourly rather than point to point.
Is the Manhattan congestion toll included in the price?
Yes. The Congestion Relief Zone toll, along with any bridge or tunnel tolls, is built into your fixed quote. There is nothing added at the end of the trip.
Can I book a black car by the hour in NYC?
Yes. Hourly black car service is $130 per hour with a three-hour minimum, gratuity included. A dedicated chauffeur stays with you for the whole block, repositioning while you are in a meeting or at dinner so the car is at the curb when you walk out. It is the right way to book any Manhattan day with more than two stops.
Where does the chauffeur pick up after a show at MSG or on Broadway?
Your chauffeur texts you a specific corner or block before the show ends, chosen based on how the NYPD is managing the street that night. You walk out, walk a short distance, and the car is there. We do not circle the venue with 20,000 other people.
Do you do Manhattan to JFK, LaGuardia or Newark?
Yes. Hotel and residence pickups in Manhattan to all three airports, flight tracked, with inside-terminal meet and greet available on the return. Newark from Manhattan is typically 45 to 75 minutes depending on the Lincoln Tunnel or the Holland Tunnel and the time of day.
What is the difference between a black car and Uber Black in New York?
Uber Black is on-demand. A driver who happens to be nearby accepts your request and the price reflects demand at that moment. A black car service is a reservation: the chauffeur is assigned in advance, confirms by text, and the quoted price is the price. For a Long Island return at 11pm, the difference is whether a car is actually coming.
How early should I book a black car to the city?
Twenty-four hours is comfortable. For event nights at MSG or Barclays, Broadway openings, UN General Assembly week, and holiday season weekends, book as soon as you have the tickets. Same-day requests are often possible on weekdays.
Have a trip in mind?
Send the pickup, drop-off and time. You get a fixed quote back, usually within five minutes.
