Greenwich Village car service at a glance

Golden Class Limo covers Greenwich Village between 14th Street and Houston, the Hudson to Broadway. The thing that makes a booking here different from one uptown is that the address alone is not enough to find you.

These streets predate the grid. They run at angles, change name partway along, and in one well-known case West 4th Street crosses West 10th. A chauffeur working from a number alone can arrive a block away on a one-way street facing the wrong direction.

So the meeting corner is agreed when the booking is made and confirmed to you in writing. It is a thirty-second step that removes the most common cause of a late pickup in this part of Manhattan.

Townhouse and walk-up entrances mean there is rarely a lobby to wait in, so the car is timed to be at the kerb as you reach the door. Sedans through to a 55-seat coach all serve the neighbourhood, and the desk is staffed overnight on (718) 360-9383 with a 4.7-star rating across 300+ Google reviews.

How a booking works here

We settle the corner when you book, not when you leave.

It takes half a minute and it is the difference between a car at the door and a car one block away.

When the booking is made we take the cross street along with the number and name the side of the street the vehicle will wait on. That goes into the confirmation, so the chauffeur and the passenger are working from the same point rather than from the same address.

For anyone travelling regularly it becomes a standing arrangement: the same corner every time, already known to whoever is driving. Most residents here settle on one within a couple of trips and never think about it again.

Inside the neighbourhood

Five parts, and what each will allow.

Width, direction and footfall vary street by street down here.

Washington Square North

The Greek Revival terrace on the park's north side, where the roadway is closed at the arch and the usable kerb is on Fifth Avenue.

Bleecker and Grove

Narrow lanes that bend and change name, where a chauffeur given only a number can end up a full block away facing the wrong way.

Christopher Street

Busy on foot into the evening with almost no standing room, so a pickup sits on a quieter parallel street a short walk north or south.

NYU blocks

University buildings scattered across the neighbourhood rather than on one campus, which makes naming the building more useful than the faculty.

Sixth Avenue

The wide north-south route through the middle, and the only place here a mini bus or coach can reasonably stand to load.

Coverage

Four airports, none of them far.

Typical door-to-door times from around West 10th Street. The Village sits near the middle of the lower island, so the four runs are closer together than they are further north.

Typical drive times from Greenwich Village to the four airports
ToDistanceTypical drive time
Airports
Newark Liberty (EWR)West to the Holland Tunnel, or north to the Lincoln when the approach is heavy~13 miles35–70 minutes
LaGuardia (LGA)East to the FDR, then north along the river~11 miles35–70 minutes
JFKDown to the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel or across the Williamsburg Bridge~16 miles40–80 minutes
Teterboro (TEB)Through the Holland Tunnel and north on the New Jersey side~15 miles35–75 minutes

Each row links to that airport's own page, where an arrival is tracked against the flight.

The fleet

Every class, with the avenue for the long ones.

Sedans and SUVs reach the lanes. Sprinter vans, mini buses and the coach serve the same addresses from Sixth Avenue, which runs through the middle and takes their length.

Travelling the same trip each week?

One agreed corner, saved to the booking, and nobody has to explain it again.

Not sure which corner works?

Give us the address and we will tell you where a vehicle that size can legally wait.

In depth

Streets that were here before the plan

Why a cross street matters more here than anywhere

The 1811 grid stopped at 14th Street, and what lies below it is the street plan of a village that grew without one. Lanes bend, several change name partway, a few run one way for part of their length and the other way for the rest, and the numbering does not always help.

Navigation apps cope with this better than they used to; kerb space does not. The difficulty is not finding the building, it is that the nearest legal stop may be round a corner the car cannot turn into without going right around the block. Agreeing the corner in advance solves it once, and on a standing booking it solves it permanently.

Good to know

Greenwich Village questions, answered.

Why do you ask for a cross street in Greenwich Village?

Because the number on its own is often not enough. These streets bend, several change name partway along and a few run one way for only part of their length, so a car can end up correctly at the address but on the far side of a block it cannot legally turn into. The cross street removes that.

Can a car stop outside a townhouse in Greenwich Village?

For a short time on most blocks, which is why we time the arrival rather than send a car to wait. There is usually no lobby to stand in and very little kerb, so the chauffeur confirms on the approach and the vehicle is at the door as you reach it rather than holding a narrow lane.

Where do pickups happen around Washington Square?

On Fifth Avenue or the nearest open cross street rather than on the square itself. The roadway through the arch is closed to traffic, so the north side has no through kerb, and we set a point a few doors away that a vehicle of your size can hold legally.

Can a coach or mini bus reach an address in Greenwich Village?

The neighbourhood, yes; the lanes, rarely. Sixth Avenue is the practical loading point for anything that size, and it runs through the middle of the area so it is seldom a long walk. The exact standing point goes out with the booking rather than being found on the day.

Do you pick up from the NYU buildings?

Yes, and the useful detail is the building rather than the department. The university occupies a scattered set of addresses across the neighbourhood instead of one enclosed campus, so a named building and a cross street put the chauffeur exactly where you are.

Which airport is easiest from Greenwich Village?

Newark, marginally, because the Holland Tunnel is a short run west and the Lincoln is a reasonable alternative when the approach backs up. LaGuardia is close behind via the FDR. JFK is the longest of the four from here whichever crossing is used.
