Staten Island car service at a glance

Golden Class Limo provides chauffeured car, van and bus service on Staten Island, where most neighborhoods have no subway and every trip off the island crosses a bridge or takes the ferry: sedans and Escalades for airport and Manhattan runs, and Sprinter vans and mini buses for families and groups.

Newark Airport is the closest, typically 20 to 35 minutes over the Goethals Bridge, and JFK 40 to 70 minutes across the Verrazzano-Narrows. By the hour, a sedan is $85 and a Sprinter $110.

Dispatch runs 24/7, 365 days a year — book online or call (718) 360-9383.

Neighborhoods we serve

Five Staten Island neighborhoods.

From the ferry at St. George to Tottenville at the southern tip. Every other neighborhood is covered too.

  • St. George

    The ferry terminal, Borough Hall and new apartment buildings on the North Shore waterfront. The one part of the island where the ferry is a real alternative to a car for Lower Manhattan.

  • Todt Hill

    The highest natural point in New York City, with large houses on steep, winding lanes. Pickups are at the door, and larger vehicles are checked against the narrow roads first.

  • Great Kills

    South Shore houses around Great Kills Harbor and its marinas, beside a large waterfront park. Hylan Boulevard and the expressway are the way off the island from here.

  • Tottenville

    The southernmost neighborhood in New York State, at the end of the railway and beside the Outerbridge Crossing. Newark Airport is often closer in time than Manhattan.

  • New Dorp

    Mid-Island shops along New Dorp Lane, a railway station and residential blocks near the shore. Central enough that both the Verrazzano and the Goethals are reasonable runs.

Limo or car service?

Staten Island limousine service: a chauffeur for the bridges, the airports and family occasions

A Staten Island limo service search lands on the same fleet and chauffeurs as a car service search.

On the island the word has outlived the vehicle: a Staten Island limousine service is what many people here still call a booked car with a driver, hired for what the ferry cannot do — the Verrazzano to JFK with a family's luggage, the Goethals to Newark before dawn, the Bayonne Bridge to a cruise at Cape Liberty, a wedding morning with everyone in one 14-passenger Sprinter. What pulls up is a sedan, an Escalade for 6 or a Sprinter with our own chauffeur at the wheel; the stretch car some callers picture is not one we run.

Booking is the same for every vehicle: enter the pickup, drop-off and date online, see a price for each vehicle that fits in about a minute, then add a card, charged 24 to 48 hours before pickup rather than at booking.

Good to know

Staten Island questions, answered.

How far is Newark Airport from Staten Island?

From Mid-Island it is roughly 13 miles and typically 20 to 35 minutes over the Goethals Bridge, which makes Newark the closest major airport to most of Staten Island. Tottenville and the South Shore can also use the Outerbridge Crossing.

What is the best way to get from Staten Island to JFK or LaGuardia?

By car over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge: JFK is typically 40 to 70 minutes by the Belt Parkway, and LaGuardia 50 to 80 minutes by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. By transit the same trip means the ferry, the subway and an airport train, which is a long journey with luggage.

Is the Staten Island Ferry quicker than a car to Manhattan?

For Lower Manhattan from St. George, often yes: the ferry is free and about 25 minutes. For Midtown, a door-to-door car is typically 45 to 75 minutes, with no walk to the terminal and no subway change, which suits luggage, groups and late returns.

How much does a car service on Staten Island cost?

By the hour, an executive sedan is $85 and a 14-passenger Sprinter $110, with minimums on each. Airport transfers and one-way trips from Staten Island are quoted from your exact address when you book.

Can a Staten Island family or team travel together in one vehicle?

Yes. An Escalade seats 6, a Mercedes Sprinter 14 with their luggage, and a mini bus up to 38, so a family heading to the airport or a team going to a game travels together on one booking.

Does the congestion charge apply on Staten Island?

No. Staten Island is outside Manhattan's congestion relief zone, so trips on the island, to the airports and to Brooklyn or New Jersey carry no congestion charge. We confirm what applies when a trip ends inside the zone in Manhattan.

What do you mean by a Staten Island limousine service?

Our Staten Island limo service and our car service are one and the same booking: pick a vehicle by headcount and luggage, and the chauffeur who meets you is one of our own. Most requests are a sedan or an Escalade for Newark, JFK or an evening in Manhattan, and the 7-passenger Jet Sprinter when a few travel together; a stretch limousine is not among them, so no quote from us is ever for one.

In depth

Staten Island car service

Why a car matters more here

Staten Island has no subway. The Staten Island Railway runs along the east side from St. George to Tottenville, and the free ferry links St. George to Lower Manhattan, but most trips are by road — and every road off the island is a bridge: the Verrazzano-Narrows to Brooklyn, and the Goethals, Bayonne and Outerbridge Crossing to New Jersey.

That makes the route choice the whole trip. Tolls are collected on the way onto the island, and a chauffeur picks the crossing that is moving, which often means New Jersey rather than Brooklyn for Newark and the west side of Manhattan.

Families, groups and airport runs

Families and groups travel together here: a 14-passenger Sprinter for a party heading to the airport, mini buses seating 23, 29, 32 and 38 for school and team trips, and a 55-passenger motor coach for a larger outing off the island.

Newark is usually the quickest airport, 20 to 35 minutes from Mid-Island. Staten Island pickups are outside Manhattan's congestion relief zone; only a drop-off inside the zone can add that charge, confirmed at booking.
