Javits Center transportation at a glance

Golden Class Limo provides chauffeured car, van and bus transportation for trade shows, conferences and corporate events at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center on Manhattan's far West Side.

The work is built around show weeks: hotel shuttles and staff runs in Sprinter vans for up to 14 from $316, mini buses and coaches for delegations from $1,635, and sedans or SUVs for executives and speakers from $128.

Unlike a stadium, the Javits Center does not empty all at once. Exhibitors, attendees and speakers arrive and leave on different days and at different times, so we plan transport as a schedule across the whole show and adjust it as each day unfolds.

Airport transfers to and from LaGuardia, Newark Liberty and JFK are tracked against the flight. Book online or call (718) 360-9383 to plan a show; we are available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Why plan the transport

A week of arrivals, not one crowd leaving at once.

Trade shows and conferences at the Javits Center run over several days, with people coming and going on very different schedules.

The convention center fills the blocks between West 34th and West 40th Streets along the Hudson, at the western edge of Midtown. The 7 train stops nearby, but most hotels, offices and Penn Station are a long walk away, and finding a taxi on Eleventh Avenue at the end of a show day can take a while.

The pattern of a show week is spread out. Exhibitors arrive days early for move-in, booth staff travel each morning and evening, speakers fly in for a single session, executives dart out to client meetings, and move-out sends everyone to different airports on different flights.

Transport for that is a schedule, not a pickup. We coordinate shuttle loops from your hotels, airport transfers timed to each flight and cars on call for executives, so your team is not hunting for rides on Eleventh Avenue when the exhibit halls close.

Plan the show week's transport in one go.

Send the show dates, your hotels and the size of the team, and we will put together a schedule and a price.

Our standards

What every Javits Center show booking includes.

  • A show-week plan

    Transport set out day by day for move-in, show days and move-out, agreed with your team before the show opens.

  • Hotel shuttle loops

    Scheduled runs between your hotels and the convention center at opening and closing, with extra trips as needed.

  • Airport transfers for teams

    Booth staff, speakers and delegates met at LaGuardia, Newark Liberty or JFK, with every flight tracked.

  • Early starts, late finishes

    Vehicles for pre-dawn move-in calls and late departures after the last meeting of the day.

  • One coordinator

    A single contact for the exhibitor or organiser, who moves pickups and adds vehicles as the week changes.

  • Licensed and insured

    A licensed New York transportation company with commercial insurance on every vehicle it schedules.

Coverage

Typical drive times to the Javits Center.

Ordinary-traffic ranges. Show-day congestion on Eleventh Avenue, the evening rush and tunnel queues all add time, and the schedule builds that in.

Show days

Transport that runs on the show schedule.

A convention does not need one pickup at the end. It needs the right vehicle at the right door at many different times across the week.

Before the show we build the schedule with you: morning runs from each hotel to the convention center, cars for midday meetings, the wave of departures when the exhibit halls close, and later trips after client dinners. Each run has a vehicle, a time and a named contact.

During the show a coordinator watches that plan, moves pickups when a session overruns and adds a vehicle when more of the team turns up than expected. On move-out day the plan changes again, with staff leaving at staggered times for LaGuardia, Newark Liberty or JFK.

Exhibitors & organisers

For exhibitors, conference organisers and corporate delegations.

The person booking is usually an event manager, a travel coordinator or an exhibitor's operations lead, not the person riding.

For an exhibitor, a typical week covers airport pickups for the booth team, a Sprinter van each morning and evening between the hotel and the Javits Center, and a sedan on call for executives meeting clients around Hudson Yards. For an organiser it can mean coaches for off-site programmes or dedicated cars for speakers and senior guests.

All of it runs under one account with one invoice for the show, broken down by day if your finance team needs it. Companies that exhibit every year can keep the plan on file and adjust it for the next edition.

In depth

Getting to and from the Javits Center

On the far West Side at Hudson Yards

The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is at 429 Eleventh Avenue, stretching from West 34th Street to West 40th Street between Eleventh Avenue and the Hudson River. It is one of the largest convention centers in the United States and hosts trade shows, expos and conferences throughout the year.

The 7 train's 34 St-Hudson Yards station is a short walk away, but the building is otherwise a long walk from Penn Station and from most Midtown hotels. By road it sits beside the West Side Highway, a few blocks from the Lincoln Tunnel, with crosstown traffic on 34th and 42nd Streets feeding Eleventh Avenue.

Planning around a show week

A large show is a sequence of different days. Exhibitors and contractors arrive for move-in before the doors open, attendees come and go through each show day, the halls close in the late afternoon, and move-out brings its own rush of departures to hotels and airports.

Our Javits Center car service is planned against that sequence rather than a single event time. We map hotel locations, show hours, speaker slots and flight times with the organiser or exhibitor, then set shuttle loops, staff runs and on-call cars for each day, with a coordinator adjusting as plans change.

Flying in for a show

LaGuardia is usually the quickest airport at around 25 to 45 minutes. Newark Liberty is roughly 35 to 60 minutes, helped by the Lincoln Tunnel exiting close to the convention center, and JFK about 45 to 75 minutes. We track every arrival and can hold bags or cases in the vehicle when a team goes straight to the building.

Good to know

Javits Center questions, answered.

Can you run a daily shuttle between our hotels and the Javits Center?

Yes. For multi-day shows we run 14-passenger Sprinter vans or mini buses on a set loop between your hotels and the convention center, typically in the morning before the halls open and again when they close, with extra runs for speakers or late meetings.

Do you provide airport transfers for exhibitors arriving for a show?

Yes. We meet booth teams, speakers and delegates at LaGuardia, Newark Liberty or JFK, track each flight and take them to their hotel or straight to the Javits Center. For departures on move-out day we schedule pickups around each person's flight.

Where can cars drop off and pick up at the Javits Center?

Pickup and drop-off locations around the building can change between shows and are set by the venue's traffic arrangements for each event. We confirm the current points before your show and share them with your team, so everyone knows where to meet their vehicle.

Can you move booth staff together with sample cases and display materials?

Yes, for cases, boxed samples and hand-carried display items that fit in a passenger vehicle. Pallets, crates and large freight go through the show's appointed freight arrangements rather than through us, so we plan passenger transport around those delivery times.

How long does it take to get from Times Square hotels to the Javits Center?

Usually 10 to 20 minutes by car, across to Eleventh Avenue on 42nd or 34th Street. At the start and end of show hours crosstown traffic slows, so shuttle departures are timed with a margin.

Can we keep a car on call for executives during the show week?

Yes. A sedan or SUV can be kept on call for executives or key clients, moving them between the show floor, meetings around Hudson Yards and Midtown, and their hotel as the day requires, all under the same show booking.

How do you handle the rush when the exhibit halls close for the day?

We schedule for it. Shuttle vehicles are staged and ready before the halls close, each group is told which vehicle and meeting point to use, and a coordinator dispatches additional runs if more people leave at once than expected.

Can you plan transport for move-in and move-out days?

Yes. Move-in and move-out follow different hours from show days, with staff arriving early and leaving late or heading straight to the airport. We build those days into the schedule separately so exhibitor teams have vehicles when they actually need them.

Is the 7 train enough, or do exhibitors still need cars?

For an individual attendee staying near a subway line, the 7 train to 34 St-Hudson Yards works well. Exhibitor teams carrying cases, speakers on tight timings and delegations staying in several hotels usually find a scheduled shuttle or car far more reliable across a busy show week.

How is a multi-day show booking invoiced?

The whole show goes on one account and one invoice, with a breakdown by day, vehicle or cost center if your finance team needs it. Exhibitors who attend the same show every year can keep their schedule on file and adjust it for the next edition.
