Rockland County Car Service

Rockland County stretches from Hudson River villages like Nyack to inland towns such as New City, Pomona, Suffern, and Pearl River, and two pickups that look close on a map can use completely different highways. Our Rockland County car service works from the town, address, and purpose of the trip. Most of our Rockland rides start in Nanuet, Pearl River, Nyack, and Suffern, and all of them are dispatched from our office in Rochelle Park, New Jersey, just across the state line.

The people we drive here are mostly business travelers and hotel guests heading to or from Newark, LaGuardia, and Westchester; families leaving for vacation; and groups going to games, concerts, and dinners in New Jersey and New York City. We serve every town in the county, including New City, Pomona, Stony Point, and Haverstraw; for very early airport pickups in the northern towns, book at least the day before so we can plan the chauffeur’s start.

Which Airport Makes Sense from Your Rockland Town

Rockland has no major commercial airport, so every flight starts with a drive out of the county. Airport transportation in Rockland County usually comes down to four choices:

• Westchester County Airport (HPN), about 25 miles away according to Rockland County’s economic development office, is the closest and the easiest for domestic flights.
• Newark Liberty (EWR) usually has more nonstop and international options, and from southern Rockland it is a straight run down the Garden State Parkway.
• LaGuardia (LGA), listed at about 35 miles, is often reached over the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.
• JFK is the farthest of the four, but it is worth the drive when it carries the flight that works.

If you are still choosing a flight, tell dispatch your options when you call, and we will give you the drive time for each airport at that hour. These are the starting sedan fares from the four towns where most of our Rockland rides begin:

*Prices above show one-way estimates from our online booking form. Tolls and parking add to the base fare, and every reservation includes a gratuity of at least 15%. Your quote confirms the final fare for your exact address.

When you give us full flight details, dispatch tracks the flight. After a domestic landing, the chauffeur waits up to 60 minutes at no extra charge, and after an international landing, up to 90 minutes.

That tracking is why one client’s chauffeur was still there after a four-hour delay:

“Our flight was delayed 4 hours, and the driver was waiting for us when we finally arrived with a smile on his face and fresh bottles of water.” (Donna S., Google review)

Rockland County to Newark Airport, Town by Town

Newark is often the airport with the flight you need, and the drive from Rockland County to Newark Airport changes with the town. These are the times and routes our chauffeurs use:

A typical booking: a Pearl River family of six with luggage and an early flight out of Newark books an SUV. The chauffeur picks them up at 4:30 a.m., takes the Parkway down to the Turnpike, and they are at the terminal in under an hour. When they land a week later, the same kind of vehicle is waiting, with the flight tracked.

Knowing which road to take at which hour is most of the job, and one client noticed how his chauffeur worked around traffic and construction:

“On time, road savvy – avoided bad traffic & construction delays, clean/comfortable/new vehicles, airport savvy – avoided jamups on drop-offs/ pick-ups…” (R B., Google review)

Hotels, Stations and Venues Across the County

Hotel Nyack and the Hudson Side

Nyack sits on the Hudson in the southeastern part of the county. Hotel Nyack, at 400 High Avenue, is close to the Thruway, and pickups are at the front entrance. For LaGuardia and JFK, the Cuomo Bridge is minutes away, which usually beats driving down to the George Washington Bridge. A sedan from LaGuardia to Hotel Nyack starts at $216.83*.

Hilton Pearl River Near the New Jersey Line

Hilton Pearl River, at 500 Veterans Memorial Drive, sits off the Palisades Parkway near the state line. Pickup is at the main entrance. On Saturdays, the hotel often hosts a wedding and the front drive gets busy, so the chauffeur may wait in the lot and text when he is at the door.

Clover Stadium in Pomona

The New York Boulders play at Clover Stadium, 1 Phil Tisi Way in Pomona, right off the Palisades Parkway. We drop off at the main gate and agree on a meeting point in the lot for after the game. On fireworks nights, everyone leaves at once, so allow 15 extra minutes. A sedan from Westchester County Airport to Clover Stadium starts at $186.49*.

Palisades Center in West Nyack

The mall is a very large building, so tell us which entrance to use. Levity Live, the comedy club, is on the top floor, and late shows let out together, so we agree on the door ahead of time.

Spring Valley Near the Garden State Parkway

Spring Valley sits along Route 59 near Thruway Exit 14A, where the Garden State Parkway begins, so trips into New Jersey start with a straight run south. NJ Transit’s Pascack Valley Line ends at the village’s train station, and our chauffeurs meet passengers in the lot and text on arrival. Route 59 slows near the interchange on weekday afternoons and weekends, and Spring Valley’s fares and drive times by airport get their own breakdown.

Birthdays, Bachelor Parties and Groups from Rockland

We do not offer a party bus. For birthdays and bachelor or bachelorette parties, we use our 37-passenger minibus, or a Sprinter for smaller groups, and the 23-passenger minibus still has a premium rear sound system and a DVD player. Alcohol is not allowed on board without our written approval in advance, and minibuses carry a 35-day cancellation notice. Planning details for a celebration are on our page about bachelor and bachelorette party rides, and larger outings go through our group trip planning.

Trips do not have to stop at the county line. From Nyack, Manhattan-bound rides often use the Cuomo Bridge and the Westchester and Bronx approach, while from Suffern or Pearl River, Bergen County and the rest of northern New Jersey are close by. A business day that crosses both states is booked as one reservation, not two separate trips, and companies that travel with us often can set it up through a corporate travel account.

Late Trains, Night Pickups and Waiting Time in Rockland

Is there a surcharge for a 4:30 a.m. pickup to Newark?

Yes. Pickups between midnight and 4:59 a.m. carry a $25* surcharge plus gratuity.

How long does the chauffeur wait at a home or hotel pickup?

The first 15 minutes are free for pickups that are not at an airport. After that, waiting is billed by the minute.

My private flight into Westchester is running late. Do I need to call?

Yes. Private flights are not tracked automatically, so a quick call or text to dispatch is enough, and we move the chauffeur’s time.
