Terminal versus Madison
LIRR uses Grand Central Madison below the historic terminal; Metro-North and LIRR arrival paths differ. Confirm the street meeting point instead of giving only Grand Central as the pickup.

Plan your Grand Central Terminal reservation
Resolve the meeting location and travel schedule before choosing your pickup time.
Check access for late travel
MTA’s Madison guide lists an overnight closure from 2:00 to 5:30 a.m., with LIRR Manhattan service using Penn Station during that period. Check the current schedule and entrance instructions before reserving.
Coordinate a legal meeting point
The station exit is not a promise that a chauffeur can wait directly outside it. Give an accessible entrance requirement where needed and agree a permitted loading location. Report train delays to dispatch.
Before you book
Before you confirm
The right reservation includes the people, luggage, access requirements, and time needed for the whole itinerary.
Passenger and arranger contacts
Supply a reachable traveler number as well as any assistant or coordinator contact. They may need different information on the day of travel.
Timing and waiting
Review the waiting policy and confirm how changes affect this trip. Arrival of a train, aircraft, or ship does not necessarily mean passengers are ready to meet the car.
Optional extras
Request child seats and airport meet-and-greet before confirming. They are not automatic inclusions, and a request does not override terminal access restrictions.
Return journeys
Record the return date, time, and collection point separately. A one-way booking does not include a vehicle waiting indefinitely or an automatic return.
Vehicle fit
Match the vehicle to passengers and luggage.
Vehicle class is confirmed against the passenger count, luggage, itinerary, and requested presentation before the reservation is finalized.
Sedan
Review the selected class
Smaller parties whose luggage fits the confirmed vehicle.
SUV
Check luggage and seat configuration
Families or parties needing more space, subject to the complete load.
Sprinter
Request a group quote
Group itineraries needing a reviewed passenger and luggage plan.
