Citi Field transportation at a glance

Golden Class Limo runs chauffeured car, van and bus transportation to and from Citi Field in Flushing, Queens, for Mets games and the ballpark's other sporting and corporate events.

Most of our Citi Field trips are fan parties and company outings. A motor coach or mini bus for up to 55 is quoted from $1,635, a 14-seat Mercedes Sprinter from $316, and a sedan or SUV for a few guests from $128.

The ballpark is surrounded by large parking lots that all empty onto the Grand Central Parkway, the Whitestone Expressway and the Van Wyck at once. Your chauffeur waits outside that and meets the group at a spot you agree beforehand.

LaGuardia is about three miles away. Book online or call (718) 360-9383, and a dispatcher is available 24/7, 365 days a year.

The fleet

Every vehicle we can send to Citi Field.

Sedans and SUVs for a handful of fans, Sprinter vans for a team or a department, mini buses and coaches for a fan club or a company day at the ballpark. Filter by class, or quote a vehicle from its card.

Why book a car

Plenty of parking, and that is the problem.

Citi Field's lots swallow tens of thousands of cars before the game and release them onto the same few ramps after it.

The ballpark sits between the Grand Central Parkway, the Whitestone Expressway and the Van Wyck, with Flushing Bay to the north and the tennis center to the south. On a game day those roads carry Mets traffic, airport traffic from LaGuardia and ordinary Queens traffic together.

Getting in is manageable if you allow time. Getting out is where the evening stalls: the lots empty all at once, the ramps back up, and the 7 train platform at Mets-Willets Point fills well beyond comfort after a big game.

A chauffeured vehicle takes the group out of that picture. Nobody parks, nobody searches for the car in a dark lot, and the ride home starts from a meeting point outside the parking exits rather than from the back of a queue.

Skip the lots and the packed platform.

Send us the game, your headcount and the pickup address, and we will give you a price in about a minute.

Our standards

What every Citi Field booking includes.

  • A meeting point outside the lots

    Agreed before the game, so the group walks to its vehicle instead of joining the queue to leave a parking field.

  • Rain delays and extra innings

    The chauffeur waits for the game to finish, however long it runs, with no change to the plan.

  • LaGuardia three miles away

    Flight-tracked pickups from the nearest airport, with bags kept in the vehicle during the game if needed.

  • Drivers who know Flushing

    Our own chauffeurs, familiar with every approach to Flushing Meadows, including the days the US Open is on.

  • Company outings on account

    Team days and client outings billed to one corporate account rather than claimed back ride by ride.

  • Licensed New York operator

    Commercial insurance on every vehicle we run, from an executive sedan to a full-size coach.

After the game

Leaving before the lots have finished emptying.

The final out starts a slow exodus from the parking fields. The group is collected somewhere the vehicle can actually reach.

Ahead of the game, your chauffeur and your group contact choose a meeting point outside the main parking exits and away from the station entrance. During the game the vehicle waits nearby rather than in a lot that will take half an hour to leave.

When the game ends, the contact messages the chauffeur and the group walks over together. Mini buses and coaches collect from a spot agreed in advance that suits a large vehicle. The route home is picked on the traffic at that moment, toward Manhattan, Long Island, the Bronx or the airport.

Corporate & groups

Company days, client seats and team outings.

Plenty of our Citi Field bookings come from an office manager or a team lead organising the day for colleagues and clients.

A typical company outing starts with a collection at the office in the afternoon, gets everyone to the ballpark before first pitch, holds through the game and returns people to the office, a station or home. Guests coming from Long Island and Manhattan can each have a vehicle timed to arrive together.

The whole day sits on one booking and one invoice. Companies that bring clients to several games a season can keep their details with us, so each new date is a short confirmation rather than a new plan.

In depth

Getting to and from Citi Field

Flushing Meadows, between two highways and an airport

Citi Field is at 41 Seaver Way in Flushing, Queens, at the northern edge of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. It seats about 42,000 and has been the Mets' home since 2009. The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is its immediate neighbour, and LaGuardia Airport is about three miles to the north-west.

The ballpark is served by the Mets-Willets Point station on the 7 train and by a Long Island Rail Road stop on the Port Washington Branch. By road it is reached from the Grand Central Parkway, the Whitestone Expressway, the Van Wyck and Northern Boulevard, with large parking lots on several sides.

Why the lots are the hard part

Parking at Citi Field is plentiful compared with most city ballparks, which is exactly why leaving is slow. Thousands of cars pull out of the same lots within minutes of the final out and funnel onto a handful of ramps, while buses and taxis try to use the same access roads.

A chauffeured Citi Field car service avoids that by not being in a lot at all. The vehicle drops the group near the entrance, waits away from the parking exits and collects everyone from an agreed meeting point, so the party is on the road while the lots are still emptying.

Sharing the neighbourhood with the tennis center

In late August and early September the Mets can be at home while the US Open is running next door. On those days the approach roads, the train platforms and the walkways around Flushing Meadows carry two crowds at once.

We check both schedules when you book. The pickup time and the route are set with the overlap in mind, and your chauffeur knows which side of the park to wait on, so a double event day does not catch the group out.

Good to know

Citi Field questions, answered.

Where can our group be dropped off and picked up at Citi Field?

We drop you as close to your entrance as game-day traffic allows, and we collect from a meeting point outside the busiest parking exits that we agree with you before first pitch. The spot is chosen so the vehicle can reach it while the lots are still emptying.

How long does it take to leave Citi Field by car after a Mets game?

Driving yourself out of the lots can take half an hour or more before you even reach the highway, because every exit feeds the same ramps. With a chauffeur waiting outside the parking area, the group usually walks a few minutes to the meeting point and is moving soon after.

Can you take a company outing from Manhattan to a Mets game?

Yes. We collect from the office or a hotel in the afternoon, run the group out through the Queens-Midtown Tunnel or over the RFK Bridge, wait through the game and bring everyone back. It is one reservation and one invoice for the company, whatever the size of the group.

How close is Citi Field to LaGuardia Airport?

About three miles, usually 10 to 15 minutes by car along the Grand Central Parkway. That makes LaGuardia the obvious airport for fans flying in for a game. JFK is roughly 25 to 40 minutes away and Newark Liberty 50 to 85.

Is the 7 train or the Long Island Rail Road better than a car for Citi Field?

For a solo fan or a couple near those lines, the train is quick and inexpensive. For a group with children, guests from different towns, or anyone coming from Suffolk County, Westchester or New Jersey, a single vehicle is easier, especially after a late game when trains are packed.

Do you bring groups from Long Island to Citi Field?

Yes, often. A 14-passenger Sprinter suits a youth team with parents, and a mini bus or motor coach takes a larger fan club. Cars can use the Northern State and the Grand Central Parkway, while buses are routed on the Long Island Expressway, and the plan is set when you book.

What happens if there is a Mets game and a US Open session on the same day?

The area gets busier, so we plan more margin. Both venues draw crowds onto the same roads and trains, especially in the evening. We look at both schedules when you book, set an earlier pickup and pick a route and a waiting spot that suit that day.

Will the chauffeur wait if the game goes to extra innings or has a rain delay?

Yes. The booking is built around the end of the game, not a fixed clock time. If there is a rain delay or extra innings, your chauffeur keeps waiting, and you message when the group is on its way out.

What size vehicle does a Little League team need for Citi Field?

Most teams with coaches and a few parents fit in a 23-seat mini bus. A smaller squad fits a 14-passenger Sprinter van, and a whole league outing may need a 55-seat coach or two vehicles. Tell us the headcount and we will recommend one.
