Barclays Center transportation at a glance
Golden Class Limo provides chauffeured car, van and bus transportation to Barclays Center at Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues in Downtown Brooklyn.
Our Barclays bookings are mostly company nights and larger parties: motor coaches and mini buses for up to 55 starting at $1,635, Sprinter vans for up to 14 starting at $316, and sedans or SUVs for small groups starting at $140.
The arena is on top of a major subway station and Atlantic Terminal, so someone travelling alone on a subway line may not need a car. Groups, families and anyone coming from Long Island, Staten Island or New Jersey usually do, especially for the ride home after a late finish.
Book on the site in less than a minute, or phone (718) 360-9383. We take bookings 24/7, 365 days a year.

Why book a car
A transit hub on the door, and almost no kerb.
Barclays Center is easy to reach by train for one person. For a group, a family or anyone from outside the subway's reach, the arena's corner is a hard place to arrive at and leave from.
The arena sits on the junction of Flatbush Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, two of Brooklyn's busiest roads, with bus lanes, heavy through traffic and a plaza that fills up quickly before an event. There is little parking of its own, and stopping at the kerb outside is restricted.
Directly beneath is one of the largest subway stations in the city, and across the street is Atlantic Terminal. That is excellent if you live on those lines. It is less useful for a party of twelve from Staten Island, a company group from different offices, or a family from Long Island with small children and a late finish.
A chauffeured vehicle gets those groups to the arena together and, more importantly, gets them home again without a crowded platform or a search for parking. The car waits away from the plaza and collects everyone at a spot agreed before the night.
Skip the crowded platform and the kerb on Flatbush.
Share the event, the size of the group and where you are leaving from, and we will send a price in about a minute.
Our standards
What every Barclays Center booking includes.
A collection point off the avenues
Agreed before the event on a quieter nearby street, so the group is not waiting on Flatbush Avenue.
Late finishes covered
Overtime or a long fight card simply extends the wait. The chauffeur stays until the group is out.
Buses routed the right way
Coaches and mini buses kept to the expressways they are allowed on, with a loading point planned in advance.
Drivers who know Brooklyn
Our own chauffeurs, used to the bridges, the BQE and the side streets of Fort Greene and Prospect Heights.
Invoiced to the company
Team nights and client events charged to one company account, not a pile of individual ride receipts.
Licensed and fully insured
Every vehicle carries commercial cover and is run by a licensed New York transportation company.
Choosing a vehicle
Size the vehicle to the group.
Groups make up most of our Barclays Center work, so the largest vehicles are listed first. We will point you to the right size if you are between two.

Typical drive times to Barclays Center.

After the event
Leaving from a side street, not the plaza.
When the arena empties, the plaza and the station entrances take the crowd. The group is collected somewhere calmer.
Before the event, your chauffeur and your group contact agree a meeting point a short walk away, off Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues. The vehicle waits there or circles back to it, rather than trying to stop outside the arena while the crowd heads for the trains.
When the group is out, the contact messages the chauffeur and everyone walks over together. Large vehicles use the loading point set before the date. The route home is chosen then: over the bridges to Manhattan, onto the BQE toward Queens, or south to the Verrazzano for Staten Island.
Corporate & groups
Team nights, client evenings and club trips.
A lot of our Barclays Center bookings are arranged by an organiser on behalf of a team, a client list or a sports club.
A usual plan is to collect from the office at the end of the working day, drop everyone together at the arena, wait through the event and take people home or back to the office afterwards. Guests from Lower Manhattan, Midtown and New Jersey can each have a vehicle timed to arrive at the same moment.
The whole evening is one booking with one contact person and one invoice. Clubs and companies that come back several times a season can keep their pickup details and preferences on file with us.
Golden Class Limo is an independent transportation provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or an official supplier to Barclays Center, the Brooklyn Nets, the New York Liberty or any event organiser.
Getting there
Where Barclays Center groups travel from.
Distances and times are approximate and vary with traffic. Select a route to price it — we'll fill in the booking form for you.
Lower Manhattan → Barclays Center
Over the Brooklyn Bridge or the Manhattan Bridge and down Flatbush Avenue. The shortest run to the arena, and a common one for banks and law firms hosting clients on a game night.
Price this routeMidtown Manhattan → Barclays Center
Down the FDR or through the Village to the Manhattan Bridge, which feeds almost straight onto Flatbush. Evening starts meet the commute on the bridge, so the pickup is set early.
Price this routeStaten Island → Barclays Center
Across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and up the Gowanus toward Atlantic Avenue. Staten Island has no subway link to the arena, which is why families from there book a van.
Price this routeNassau County → Barclays Center
West into Brooklyn by car on the Southern State and the Belt Parkway, or on the expressways for a bus. The Long Island Rail Road runs to Atlantic Terminal, but not at the hour a late game ends for everyone.
Price this routeJFK → Barclays Center
West along the Belt Parkway or Atlantic Avenue. Visitors on a same-day flight can drop luggage in a Downtown Brooklyn hotel on the way and still be seated before tip-off.
Price this routeLaGuardia (LGA) → Barclays Center
South on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Fewer miles than JFK but a slower road, so the choice between the two airports often comes down to the time of day.

In depth
Getting to and from Barclays Center
The busiest junction in Brooklyn
Barclays Center stands at 620 Atlantic Avenue, where Flatbush Avenue meets Atlantic Avenue on the edge of Prospect Heights and Fort Greene. The Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr subway station, served by nine lines, opens onto the plaza in front of the arena, and the Long Island Rail Road's Atlantic Terminal is across the street.
Both avenues are major routes with bus lanes and heavy traffic at most hours, and the arena was built with transit in mind rather than car parks. Stopping at the kerb outside is restricted, and on a game night the plaza and the corners around it fill with people coming up from the station.
Crossing into Brooklyn on a game night
From Lower Manhattan the Brooklyn Bridge or the Manhattan Bridge gets you there in a quarter of an hour on a good day. From Midtown the Manhattan Bridge is usually best, because it feeds almost directly onto Flatbush Avenue. From Queens it is the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, from Staten Island the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the Gowanus, and from New Jersey the Holland Tunnel and a bridge across the East River.
Coaches and mini buses cannot use the Belt Parkway or the other parkways, so a group bus from Long Island or JFK comes in on the expressways and Atlantic Avenue instead. That is planned when the booking is made, along with a loading point that suits a large vehicle.
Who really needs a car to Barclays
If you live near a subway line, travel light and are going alone or as a pair, the train is hard to beat. A Barclays Center car service makes more sense for groups who want to arrive together, for families with children, for company outings with guests from different offices, and for anyone travelling from somewhere the subway does not reach easily.
It also helps at the end of the night. When a game or a fight card finishes late, a vehicle waiting a few blocks away is simpler than a crowded platform and a long ride with changes.
Good to know
Barclays Center questions, answered.
Where is the best place to be picked up after a Nets game at Barclays Center?
Away from the plaza and the Flatbush Avenue side. When the game ends the corner fills with people heading into the subway, and stopping on the avenues is restricted, so we agree a meeting point on a quieter nearby street before the game. Your chauffeur waits there and you message when the group is on its way.
Should I take the subway or a car service to Barclays Center?
If you are one or two people on a subway line, the train is quick and cheap: nine lines stop right at the arena. A car service is the better choice for a group arriving together, a family with children, guests coming from Long Island, Staten Island or New Jersey, or anyone who does not want a crowded platform after a late finish.
Can you bring a company group from Manhattan to Barclays Center?
Yes. We collect from offices in Lower Manhattan or Midtown, cross into Brooklyn over the bridges, and drop the group together. The vehicle can wait through the event and take everyone back to the office, a station or home, all on one booking and one invoice.
How long is the drive from Midtown Manhattan to Barclays Center?
Usually 30 to 50 minutes, most often via the Manhattan Bridge and Flatbush Avenue. A seven-thirty tip-off lands in the evening rush on the bridges, so for Midtown pickups we generally leave about an hour and a half before the start.
Can a bus or coach drop a group right outside Barclays Center?
A coach cannot simply stop on Flatbush or Atlantic Avenue, and buses are not allowed on the parkways that cars use to reach Brooklyn. For groups we plan the route on the expressways and agree a loading point in advance that can take a large vehicle, then walk the group the short distance to the entrance.
Do you take groups from Long Island or Staten Island to Barclays Center?
Yes, and they are some of the groups that benefit most. From Staten Island there is no direct subway, and from Long Island the last trains are less frequent late in the evening. A 14-passenger Sprinter van or a mini bus collects everyone near home and brings them back after the event.
Which airport is quickest for getting to Barclays Center?
JFK is usually quickest, at around 30 to 45 minutes via the Belt Parkway or Atlantic Avenue. LaGuardia is closer in miles but takes about 30 to 50 minutes on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Newark Liberty is typically 45 to 75 minutes. Every airport pickup includes flight tracking.
What events at Barclays Center do you provide transportation for?
Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty basketball, college basketball, boxing and the arena's other sporting and corporate events. The plan changes with the start time and the size of the group, but the approach is the same: drop close, wait clear of the crowd, collect together.
Can the car wait while our group eats nearby before the event?
Yes. Many groups have dinner in Fort Greene, Park Slope or Downtown Brooklyn first. Your chauffeur drops you at the restaurant, waits or comes back at a set time, and moves you the few blocks to the arena, then collects everyone afterwards.
