Nassau Coliseum transportation at a glance

Golden Class Limo provides chauffeured car, van and bus transportation to Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, for sporting events, corporate gatherings and the arena's other events.

Much of that work is for companies and organisers moving attendees, plus school and club groups: coaches and mini buses for up to 55 from $1,635, 14-seat Sprinter vans from $316, and sedans or SUVs for executives and guests from $140.

The Coliseum sits in the middle of Nassau County and is reached almost entirely by road, with no train station at the arena itself. A booked vehicle collects attendees from offices, homes or nearby hotels and brings them back when the event ends.

JFK is the closest airport we serve, about 25 to 45 minutes away. Book online or call (718) 360-9383, and dispatch is open 24/7, 365 days a year.

Why book a car

A central arena that almost everyone has to drive to.

Nassau Coliseum is easy to find and hard to reach without a car, and its events do not always follow one simple timetable.

The arena is in Uniondale, next to Hofstra University, on Hempstead Turnpike near the Meadowbrook State Parkway. There is no train station at the building, so attendees come by road from all over Nassau, Suffolk and Queens, and parking areas fill on a busy day.

For a sporting event that is a familiar crowd problem. For a corporate gathering it is a logistics problem: staff arriving from several offices, speakers landing at JFK, guests staying in Garden City hotels, and people needing to leave at different times.

A chauffeured vehicle, or a planned set of them, handles both. Sports groups get one pickup, one drop-off and one ride home. Event organisers get scheduled trips and shuttles that match the programme, with one contact and one bill.

Plan attendee transport in one call.

Send the event date, the number of people and where they are coming from, and we will price it quickly.

Our standards

What every Nassau Coliseum booking includes.

  • Built around the programme

    Trips scheduled to an event's agenda, including staggered arrivals and early departures, not just one start and finish.

  • Hotel and office shuttles

    Repeated loops between nearby hotels, offices and the arena for events that last most of the day.

  • Airport arrivals handled

    Speakers and executives met at JFK or LaGuardia and brought to Uniondale, with flights tracked.

  • Long Island chauffeurs

    Our own drivers, who know Hempstead Turnpike, the Meadowbrook area and the towns across both shores.

  • Coaches for school groups

    Mini buses and coaches for teams, clubs and booster groups, collected at the school and returned there.

  • Licensed and insured operator

    Commercial cover on every vehicle, from the executive sedan to the largest motor coach in our fleet.

Coverage

Typical drive times to Nassau Coliseum.

Normal-traffic ranges. Weekday rush hour on the expressways and busy event days around Uniondale take longer, and the schedule allows for that.

When the event ends

Return trips that match how your event finishes.

Some events end all at once; others wind down through the afternoon. The return plan is built for the one you are running.

For a sporting event, your chauffeur and group contact agree a meeting point away from the busiest parking exits before it starts, and the group walks over together when it ends. Coaches load where a large vehicle can stop, arranged in advance.

For a corporate gathering, returns can be staggered: a van leaving for the hotels every so often, an executive's car called when they are ready, and a final coach for the last group. The organiser has one number to call to adjust any of it on the day.

Corporate & groups

Corporate gatherings, expos and school groups.

Many Nassau Coliseum bookings come from event organisers and companies arranging travel for large numbers of attendees.

We plan transport around the event programme: airport pickups for speakers and executives, hotel shuttles for out-of-town attendees, and coaches for staff coming from offices in Nassau, Suffolk or Manhattan. A single coordinator handles changes on the day.

Schools, clubs and booster groups work the same way on a smaller scale. Everything goes on one reservation and one invoice, and repeat organisers can keep their schedules and pickup lists on file with us.

Golden Class Limo is an independent transportation provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or an official supplier to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, its operators or any event organiser.

In depth

Getting to and from Nassau Coliseum

In the middle of Nassau County

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum is at 1255 Hempstead Turnpike in Uniondale, beside Hofstra University and a short distance from Garden City and Roosevelt Field. First opened in 1972 and reopened after a major renovation in 2017, it is a mid-size arena used for sporting events and for large corporate gatherings and expos.

The nearest main roads are Hempstead Turnpike, the Meadowbrook State Parkway and the Northern State, with the Long Island Expressway a few miles north. There is no Long Island Rail Road station at the arena, so most people arrive by car from somewhere else on the island.

Events that do not all run to the same clock

A sporting event at the Coliseum has a start and a finish like any arena. A corporate gathering or an expo is different: attendees may arrive through the morning, leave at different times, or need to go back and forth between the venue and a hotel. The transport plan has to follow that schedule rather than a single exit.

For those events our Nassau Coliseum car service can run as scheduled trips or as a simple shuttle between the arena and nearby hotels, with a coordinator for the organiser, while sports groups get the familiar drop-off, wait and return.

Coming in from outside Long Island

Speakers, exhibitors and executives from out of town usually fly into JFK, about 25 to 45 minutes away, or LaGuardia, roughly 35 to 55. We track the flight, meet them at arrivals and take them to a Garden City hotel or straight to the venue, then plan the return for when their part of the event is done.

Good to know

Nassau Coliseum questions, answered.

Can you transport attendees to a corporate event at Nassau Coliseum?

Yes. We move staff, clients, speakers and guests to and from corporate gatherings at the Coliseum, collecting from offices, homes, hotels or airports. For larger events we can run repeated shuttle trips on a schedule set with the organiser, all under one booking and one invoice.

Is there a train station at Nassau Coliseum?

No. The nearest Long Island Rail Road stations, such as Hempstead and Mineola, are a short drive away, so most people arrive by car. That is why groups and companies book a vehicle that goes straight from the pickup point to the arena and back.

Which airport is closest to Nassau Coliseum?

Of the airports we serve, JFK is closest, typically 25 to 45 minutes by car. LaGuardia is roughly 35 to 55 minutes away. We track every flight so a late arrival shifts the pickup instead of missing it.

Can you run a shuttle between Garden City hotels and the Coliseum during an event?

Yes. For multi-hour or all-day events we can run a 14-passenger Sprinter van or a mini bus in a loop between nearby hotels and the arena, on a timetable agreed with the organiser, so attendees are not waiting for taxis.

Where will our vehicle drop off and pick up at Nassau Coliseum?

We agree the drop-off and pickup points with you, and with the event organiser where needed, before the day. Coaches and mini buses use a loading area suited to large vehicles, and your chauffeur confirms the exact spot when you arrive.

How long does it take to reach Nassau Coliseum from Manhattan?

Usually 50 to 85 minutes from Midtown, depending on traffic through Queens and on the expressways. For an event with a fixed start time we build in extra time, particularly on weekday mornings and late afternoons.

Can coaches use the Meadowbrook Parkway to reach the Coliseum?

Cars can use the Meadowbrook State Parkway, but coaches and mini buses are routed on roads that allow commercial vehicles, such as Hempstead Turnpike and the Long Island Expressway. We plan that route before the date so the group arrives on time.

Do you take school and club groups to sporting events at the Coliseum?

Yes. School teams, clubs and booster groups from across Nassau and Suffolk book a 23-seat mini bus or a 55-passenger coach. We collect from the school or club and bring everyone back there when the event ends.

Can one booking cover guests coming from both the North Shore and the South Shore?

Yes. We can send separate vehicles from different towns and time them to arrive together, or run one van or bus with planned stops along the way. The return trips are arranged the same way, all on one reservation.
