Arena · Elmont, NY
Car Service to UBS Arena
UBS Arena is at Belmont Park, just over the Queens line in Nassau County. From New Jersey and Manhattan it is a long run across Queens, and the Cross Island Parkway and Hempstead Turnpike approaches are the pinch points on event nights.
Drop-off
Your chauffeur follows the event-day traffic plan into Belmont Park and drops you at the designated drop-off area closest to your entrance.
After the event
Leaving Belmont Park after an event is slow for everyone. We agree a pickup spot in advance and your chauffeur is positioned before the end, so you are among the first cars out rather than waiting in the lot.

Timing
From New Jersey, the usual route is the George Washington Bridge, Cross Bronx, and Throgs Neck Bridge to the Cross Island Parkway — or the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and Belt Parkway from the south. Weeknight events deserve a generous buffer.
Train, rideshare, or car?
The LIRR’s Elmont–UBS Arena station serves events, but from New Jersey it means crossing Manhattan to Penn Station or Grand Central first.
Rideshare pickups after a sold-out event mean surge pricing and a long wait in the crowd. A pre-booked car has a fixed, all-inclusive quote — tolls and gratuity included — and a chauffeur who is already waiting at a meeting point you know before the event starts.
UBS Arena Car Service FAQs
How long is the drive from New Jersey to UBS Arena?
From Bergen or Hudson County, usually 50 to 90 minutes on a weeknight, depending on the Cross Bronx and Cross Island Parkway. From Manhattan, 35 to 60 minutes. See the distance table on this page.
Where will my chauffeur meet me after an Islanders game?
At a pre-agreed spot on the Belmont Park grounds or just outside, confirmed by text before the game ends.
Is hourly service a good idea for UBS Arena?
Usually, yes — the round trip is long and post-event departures are slow, so keeping the car and chauffeur for the evening removes the risk of waiting for a ride home.
