US Open Limo & Car Service Guide: Getting to Flushing Meadows
📞 Call (888) 201-0419Get a quote
Getting to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows during the US Open can mean packed parking lots, crowded trains and long walks. A car service or limo drops you as close as event traffic allows and picks you up after your match, with no parking to find. This guide covers drive times, day and night sessions, cars for groups and how pricing works.
Where and When
The tennis center is in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, next to Citi Field. The tournament runs over late August and early September, with qualifying the week before. Check the official US Open site for the year’s dates and session times before you book.
Drive Times to the US Open
- From Midtown Manhattan — about 30–45 minutes outside rush hour, and an hour or more on weekday evenings, via the Queens–Midtown Tunnel and the LIE or the RFK Bridge and the Grand Central Parkway.
- From LaGuardia — about 10–15 minutes, the closest airport.
- From JFK — about 20–30 minutes via the Van Wyck.
- From Brooklyn, Long Island and Westchester — quoted by town; leave extra time before a night session.
Day and Night Sessions
Day sessions start in the late morning; night sessions start in the evening and can run well past midnight. For a night session, book the return as part of an hourly booking, or set a pickup time and text dispatch when you leave your seat. Roads around the grounds get congested after big matches and traffic is directed by police, so your chauffeur confirms the pickup point with you by text.
Why Book a Car for the US Open
- Drop-off as close to the gates as event traffic allows, avoiding the main parking crush
- Flexible pickup after your match ends — no fixed shuttle schedule
- Room for groups: an SUV for up to six, or a Sprinter van for up to 14
- Straight from the airport or your hotel, with bags in the car
Why Not Just Drive or Take the Subway
Lots fill early on marquee days, and overflow parking means a long walk before you’ve even reached the gate. The 7 train and the LIRR to Mets–Willets Point are options, but they get packed before night sessions and after marquee matches, with crowded platforms to match. A car drops you on your schedule and picks you up when your match ends — no lot to find, no crowded platform.
Cars for Groups and Corporate Guests
For one to three people an executive sedan is enough; families and small groups take an SUV. Corporate hosts with clients often book a Sprinter van for up to 14, or a stretch limo for a celebration; both are booked on a four-hour minimum, which usually covers the drive, the match and the ride back. See corporate car service and event transportation.
