Local service in Chelsea
Chelsea runs along the West Side from 14th to 30th Street, home to the High Line, Chelsea Market, the gallery blocks of the West 20s, and Chelsea Piers. From here Newark, via the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel, is a realistic alternative to LaGuardia — worth knowing when you are choosing a flight.
Our chauffeurs know the area — The High Line, Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers, West Chelsea galleries, and Hudson River Park — and pick up at any address, hotel, or building entrance in Chelsea and across Manhattan.

Why Chelsea travelers pre-book a car
Transit to the airports from Manhattan is possible but rarely simple: JFK means the subway or LIRR to Jamaica plus the AirTrain, LaGuardia has no rail link at all — only buses — and Newark means NJ Transit from Penn Station plus a second AirTrain. With luggage, an early flight, or a group, a car that goes door to terminal is usually faster and far less stressful.
