USTA Tennis Center transportation at a glance
Golden Class Limo provides chauffeured car, van and bus transportation to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens, including for the US Open each late summer.
Groups are most of what we run there: mini buses and motor coaches for up to 55 from $1,635, Mercedes Sprinter vans for up to 14 from $316, and sedans and SUVs for smaller parties from $128.
LaGuardia is about four miles from the grounds, so a flight-tracked airport pickup can have you at the gates in well under half an hour outside rush hour. Night sessions are covered too: your chauffeur waits nearby and comes when the last match ends, however late that is.
Book online in under a minute or call (718) 360-9383; dispatch runs 24/7, 365 days a year.

Why book a car
Two weeks of crowds, and no telling when the last match ends.
Flushing Meadows runs day and night sessions back to back, and the biggest matches on Arthur Ashe Stadium finish when they finish.
For most of the year the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is a busy but manageable public tennis facility. From the qualifying week in late August to the finals in early September it becomes one of the most crowded places in the city, with day and night sessions changing over in the early evening and Citi Field next door hosting Mets games on some of the same dates.
The roads around the park are the Grand Central Parkway, the Van Wyck, the Long Island Expressway and the Whitestone Expressway, all carrying their usual traffic on top of the tournament. Parking fills early, the walk from the lots is long, and the 7 train and the Long Island Rail Road platform at Mets-Willets Point are packed around the session changes.
The harder problem is timing. A night session can run well past midnight if a match goes the distance, and nobody can book a pickup around a fifth-set tiebreak. A chauffeur who waits nearby and moves when you message handles that in a way that a train timetable or a late-night rideshare search cannot.
Skip the parking lots and the session changeover.
Tell us the session, the headcount and where you are starting from, and we will price the day in under a minute.
Our standards
What every tennis center booking includes.
Night-session ready
Dispatch is staffed through the small hours, so a match that runs past midnight still has a chauffeur waiting for it.
A flexible collection window
Nobody knows when a long match will end, so the pickup starts when you message rather than at a time fixed that morning.
LaGuardia on the doorstep
Flight-tracked pickups from the closest airport to the grounds, straight to the gates or to the hotel first.
In-house chauffeurs
Our own drivers, briefed on the Flushing Meadows approaches before the tournament fortnight begins.
Hospitality billing
Client and hospitality-day transport invoiced to one company account, not reimbursed ride by ride.
Licensed and insured
A licensed New York transportation operator with commercial cover on every vehicle, from a sedan to a coach.
Choosing a vehicle
Pick the vehicle by the size of the party.
Most tennis center bookings are groups, so the larger vehicles come first. If your party sits between two sizes, we will recommend the better fit.
- 15–55
Mini bus or motor coach
Company hospitality days, tennis clubs and school teams heading to a session together, with one collection point at the end.
- 6–14
Mercedes Sprinter van
A client group or a few families sharing a day at the courts, with room for everyone's bags in one vehicle.
- 1–6
Cadillac Escalade SUV
A small party staying on for the night session who want a car waiting when the last point is played.
- 1–3
Executive sedan
One or two fans flying into LaGuardia on the day, or a guest you are sending home after a late finish.

After the match
Waiting for the match to finish, not for the clock.
Your chauffeur stays close to the grounds for however long the last set takes, and the pickup happens when you are ready.
We do not book a departure time for a US Open night. The vehicle is staged a short distance from the grounds, away from the gates the crowd pours out of, and your chauffeur watches for your message. When the match ends you walk to the agreed point and the car is already moving toward it.
For groups the plan is set before the day: which gate you will leave from, where the vehicle will be, and who in the party is the contact. Coaches and mini buses cannot use the Grand Central Parkway, so they run on the expressways and collect from a spot a large vehicle can use, which is a big part of why groups book them in advance instead of hailing rides on the night.
Corporate & groups
Hospitality days, client groups and tennis clubs.
During the tournament much of our work at Flushing Meadows is booked by a company or a club rather than by the people riding.
A typical day looks like this: a Sprinter or a mini bus collects clients from a Midtown office or hotel in the morning, drops them for the day session, waits through the afternoon and brings them back for dinner, or stays on for the night session if the plans change. Tennis clubs and school teams do the same from Long Island and Westchester.
It all sits on one booking and one invoice, so a hospitality day for thirty guests does not turn into thirty expense claims. If you are bringing groups on several days of the fortnight, we can set the whole schedule up at once.

Getting there
Where tennis groups travel from.
Distances and times are approximate and vary with traffic. Select a route to price it — we'll fill in the booking form for you.
Midtown Manhattan → USTA Tennis Center
Out through the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and along the Long Island Expressway, or over the RFK Bridge when the tunnel is backed up. The usual start for a client day at the Open.
Price this routeUpper East Side → USTA Tennis Center
Across the RFK Bridge and east on the Grand Central Parkway in a car. Quick outside the session changeovers, slow in the hour either side of them.
Price this routeBrooklyn → USTA Tennis Center
North on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway toward Flushing Meadows. A good run for a family group that wants to stay for the night session without anyone driving home.
Price this routeNassau County → USTA Tennis Center
West on the Long Island Expressway to the park. A frequent booking for tennis clubs and school teams heading in for a day session together.
Price this routeLaGuardia (LGA) → USTA Tennis Center
One of the shortest airport runs to any venue we serve. Land in the morning, drop bags at the hotel or keep them in the vehicle, and be at the gates for the afternoon.
Price this routeJFK → USTA Tennis Center
North up the Van Wyck Expressway, which borders the park. International visitors often come straight from arrivals, with the flight tracked so a delay moves the pickup.

In depth
Getting to the USTA Tennis Center and the US Open
Where the tennis center is, and how to reach it
The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center sits inside Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, bordered by the Grand Central Parkway, the Van Wyck Expressway and the Long Island Expressway, with Citi Field immediately to its north.
Arthur Ashe Stadium is the centerpiece and seats more than 23,000, making it the largest tennis stadium in the world. Louis Armstrong Stadium and the Grandstand are the other main courts, with dozens of outer courts spread across the grounds.
From Midtown the usual drive is through the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and out along the Long Island Expressway, or over the RFK Bridge and east on the Grand Central Parkway. From the Bronx and Westchester the Whitestone Bridge is the shortest crossing. Your chauffeur chooses on the day, because the Van Wyck and the Grand Central both slow sharply when one session's crowd is leaving and the next is arriving.
Planning a day at the US Open
The US Open runs for about two weeks from late August into early September, with a qualifying week before the main draw. Day sessions begin in the late morning and night sessions in the evening, and the grounds are busiest in the changeover between the two.
For a day session, we plan the drop-off at least an hour before play to leave time for security screening and the walk to your court. For a night session, the return matters more than the arrival: tell us roughly when you might leave and your chauffeur is ready from that point on, for as long as the match takes.
Outside tournament season
For much of the year the tennis center is open for public play, lessons, leagues and other events. The service is the same without the tournament traffic: a sedan or SUV for a lesson or a league evening, a van or a bus for a club or a school team, all on the same flat-rate basis.
Good to know
USTA Tennis Center questions, answered.
How do I get to the US Open by car service?
Book a chauffeured car, van or bus to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens. We drop you at the drop-off area set aside for car services, wait nearby or come back at an agreed time, and collect you from a meeting point you agree with your chauffeur. The fare is flat and quoted before the day.
What happens if a night session match runs past midnight?
Your chauffeur keeps waiting. Night-session bookings are not tied to a fixed departure time: the vehicle stays staged close to the grounds and you message when you are on your way out. Dispatch is staffed around the clock, so a match that ends at one in the morning is handled exactly like one that ends at ten.
How far is the USTA Tennis Center from LaGuardia Airport?
About four miles. Outside rush hour the drive is usually 10 to 20 minutes, which makes LaGuardia the easiest airport for a US Open trip. JFK is roughly 25 to 40 minutes away, and Newark Liberty 50 to 85, because that drive crosses the Hudson and most of the city.
Can you take a group of 40 to the US Open?
Yes. A group of 40 fits in one 40-passenger charter bus, or a 55-passenger motor coach if you want spare seats. Buses cannot use the Grand Central Parkway, so they are routed on the expressways, and the collection point is agreed before the day at a spot a large vehicle can actually use.
Is it better to drive and park at Flushing Meadows?
For a group or a night session, usually not. Parking around the park fills early during the tournament and is shared with Citi Field on Mets game days, the walk back to the car can be long, and someone has to drive home after a late night. A chauffeured vehicle drops you close, waits, and takes everyone back together.
How early should we arrive for a US Open day session?
We plan the drop-off at least an hour before play starts. That covers bag checks at the entrance and the walk across the grounds to your court. Coming from Manhattan in the morning, the pickup is set earlier still, so the Long Island Expressway does not eat into that margin.
Do the 7 train and the LIRR make a car unnecessary?
For one or two people travelling light, the subway or the Long Island Rail Road to Mets-Willets Point is a reasonable option. It is less practical for a group on a mixed schedule, anyone who needs a door-to-door ride, or a night session that finishes when trains are running less often. That is where a pre-booked vehicle earns its fare.
Can a company book US Open transportation for clients?
Yes, and it is a large share of our tournament work. We collect clients from offices and hotels, take them to the grounds for a day or night session, wait, and bring them back, all on one booking and one invoice. Schedules covering several days of the fortnight can be set up in one go.
Do you serve the tennis center outside the US Open?
Yes. The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center hosts public play, lessons and other events for much of the year, and we run the same car, van and bus service for league nights, club trips and school groups, with no tournament traffic to plan around.
What if Citi Field has a game on the same day?
It changes the traffic, so we plan for it. When the Mets are at home, the roads and parking around Flushing Meadows are busier and the evening crowds overlap. We check the schedule when you book and set the pickup time and the route with that in mind, rather than finding out on the day.
