New York’s two ballparks are both on the subway, which is exactly why tens of thousands of fans end up on the same 7 or D train when the game ends. For a birthday, a client outing, a family with young kids or a group coming from Long Island or New Jersey, a private Citi Field car service or Yankee Stadium car service is the difference between “great game” and “we spent an hour on the platform.” Here’s how it works at each stadium, how long the drive takes, and how we get you out afterward.
Citi Field car service (Mets)
Citi Field is in Flushing, Queens, next to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. From Long Island it’s one of the closest major venues to Nassau County — typically 30–45 minutes from Hicksville via the LIE or Grand Central Parkway.
Drop-off: chauffeured cars use the designated drop-off areas around the ballpark, a short walk from the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. Tell us which gate is on your ticket and we’ll plan the closest drop.
Post-game pickup: your chauffeur stages away from the busiest rideshare area and texts you the exact meeting point, then heads out via the Van Wyck or Grand Central depending on where you’re going home.
| From | Drive time | Sedan point-to-point | SUV round trip with 4.5-hr wait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hicksville / Nassau | 30–45 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
| Midtown Manhattan | 25–45 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
| Brooklyn | 30–50 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
| Westchester | 35–55 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
Yankee Stadium car service
Yankee Stadium in the South Bronx is a longer trip from Long Island — across the Throgs Neck and along the Bruckner or Major Deegan — and the streets around the stadium are heavily restricted on game days.
Drop-off: your chauffeur uses the drop-off point that’s closest to the gate on your ticket, based on that day’s street closures.
Post-game pickup: chauffeurs stage just outside the closed-off blocks, wherever traffic is clearing fastest, and text you the meeting point late in the game so you can walk straight to the car.
| From | Drive time | Sedan point-to-point | SUV round trip with 4.5-hr wait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hicksville / Nassau | 50–75 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
| Midtown Manhattan | 20–40 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
| Westchester (White Plains) | 25–40 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
| Northern New Jersey | 30–50 min | Flat rate on request | Flat rate on request |
Point-to-point vs as-directed: which should you book?
- Point-to-point (two separate transfers): best for Manhattan or Queens pickups, where a chauffeur can be dispatched back quickly.
- As-directed (the chauffeur stays with you): best for Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey groups. It covers extra innings and rain delays, and the car is guaranteed to be there when the game ends — no surge, no “your driver is 25 minutes away.”

Group outings, birthdays and corporate nights
- Party Sprinter (8–14 guests): music, LED lighting and room for coolers — a great fit for birthdays and bachelor outings.
- Executive Sprinter (up to 14): client entertainment nights, with pickup from a Long Island office park or a Midtown lobby.
- Two SUVs on one reservation: for families with grandparents and kids who want to arrive together.
Subway Series games, Opening Day and the postseason are the busiest dates of the year — book Sprinters two to three weeks ahead.
Frequently asked questions
Can we stop for dinner before the game?
Yes. As-directed bookings allow stops — Flushing’s Main Street is a popular choice before Citi Field and Arthur Avenue before Yankee Stadium.
What if the game goes into extra innings or there’s a rain delay?
Your as-directed reservation simply extends in 30-minute increments. Rain delays are common in spring, and your chauffeur waits.
Is alcohol allowed in the vehicle?
Yes, in Sprinters and party buses for passengers 21 and over. Please, no glass.
Do you serve other stadiums and arenas?
Yes — including UBS Arena, Barclays Center, Madison Square Garden, MetLife Stadium, Prudential Center and Red Bull Arena.
How far ahead should I book?
A week ahead is usually fine for regular-season games. Allow 2–3 weeks for rivalry games, the Subway Series, Opening Day and playoffs.
