Coverage Guide
NYC, Westchester, Connecticut, New Jersey & Long Island — professional black car service covering every corner of the 20-million-person tri-state region.
Whether you're a hedge fund executive commuting Manhattan ↔ Greenwich, a Westchester family heading to JFK, or a Bergen County business needing Newark Airport pickups — this guide maps our complete service area with real drive times, routes, and booking details.
The “Tri-State Area” describes the New York City metropolitan region spanning three states: New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. It's a 13,000+ square mile economic powerhouse where 20+ million people live, work, and commute daily.
Fairfield County alone has 959K residents and is Connecticut's wealthiest county.
Philadelphia (100 miles from NYC) has its own metropolitan economy. Its suburbs orient toward Philly, not NYC.
Very few PA residents commute to NYC daily. Metro-North and NJ Transit don’t serve Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania gets Philadelphia media (local news, sports). NYC tri-state shares NY1, WFAN, NY Post.
Bottom line: When New Yorkers say “tri-state,” they mean the NY-NJ-CT region centered on NYC — not Pennsylvania.

A 30-mile drive can take 40 minutes at 10am Sunday or 90 minutes at 5:30pm Friday. Here's realistic timing guidance.
| Destination | Distance | Off-Peak | Rush Hour | Route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonkers, NY | 15 mi | 25 min | 40–50 min | Henry Hudson Pkwy |
| Scarsdale, NY | 22 mi | 35 min | 55–75 min | Hutchinson River Pkwy |

| Armonk (IBM), NY | 40 mi | 60 min | 90–110 min | Hutch Pkwy → I-684 |
| Greenwich, CT | 30 mi | 45–50 min | 75–90 min | I-95 N or Merritt Pkwy |
| Stamford, CT | 38 mi | 55 min | 80–100 min | I-95 N or Merritt Pkwy |
| Darien, CT | 42 mi | 60 min | 85–105 min | I-95 N or Merritt Pkwy |
| Norwalk, CT | 48 mi | 70 min | 95–115 min | I-95 N or Merritt Pkwy |
| Fort Lee, NJ | 8 mi | 15 min | 30–40 min | George Washington Bridge |
| Jersey City, NJ | 3–5 mi | 10–15 min | 20–30 min | Holland or Lincoln Tunnel |
| Newark, NJ | 16 mi | 25 min | 45–60 min | Holland Tunnel → I-78 W |
| Montclair, NJ | 18 mi | 30 min | 50–70 min | GW Bridge → Rt 3 → GSP |
| Paramus, NJ | 20 mi | 35 min | 55–75 min | GW Bridge → Route 4 |
| Morristown, NJ | 35 mi | 55 min | 85–110 min | GW Bridge → I-80 W → I-287 S |
| Garden City, LI | 20 mi | 35 min | 55–75 min | QMT → Northern State Pkwy |
| Huntington, LI | 40 mi | 60 min | 90–120 min | QMT → Northern State / LIE |
| Southampton, LI | 90 mi | 2 hrs | 3–4 hrs (Fri) | LIE → Sunrise Hwy |
Bruckner Expressway → New England Thruway → I-95 Connecticut. Serves Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport.
Pro tip: Bruckner Interchange is a legendary bottleneck — 30 min delays common during rush hour.
Hutchinson River Parkway (Westchester) becomes Merritt Parkway at CT border. No trucks allowed — often faster than I-95.
Pro tip: Speed limit 55 mph strictly enforced. Beautiful tree-canopy drive, preferred for Greenwich/Stamford hedge fund pickups.
Upper Manhattan (178th St) ↔ Fort Lee, NJ. One of world's busiest bridges (300K+ vehicles/day).
Pro tip: $17 eastbound toll (NJ→NY), free westbound. Best: 10am–3pm weekdays, weekends. Avoid 7–10am, 4–7pm.
Holland: Lower Manhattan ↔ Jersey City. Lincoln: Midtown (42nd St) ↔ Weehawken.
Pro tip: Both pack during rush hours. Holland best for Financial District/SoHo. Lincoln best for Midtown.
Runs length of New Jersey, connects NYC to Bergen/Essex county suburbs and Jersey Shore.
Pro tip: Frequent tolls (E-ZPass recommended). Major access for Bergen and Essex county towns.
Queens Midtown Tunnel → all of Long Island. Primary route for Nassau, Suffolk, Hamptons.
Pro tip: Known as "the world's longest parking lot" on summer Fridays. Northern State Parkway is often a faster parallel.

Manhattan Midtown ↔ Greenwich, CT · 30 miles · 45–90 min
Greenwich manages $120B+ in hedge fund assets. Many fund managers maintain Manhattan offices but live on Greenwich estates — commuting Mon–Thu with car service as their mobile office.
vs Driving
Work during 60–90 min commute. No $600/mo Manhattan parking.

Door-to-door, private, flexible timing. No walking to/from stations.
vs Uber
Pre-booked weeks ahead. No surge pricing. Same professional chauffeur.
Cost context: $200–250 each way sedan. Executive's hourly rate = $500–1,000+. 90 min working = $750–1,500 value. Car service pays for itself in productivity.

Manhattan ↔ Jersey City (3–5 mi) · Manhattan ↔ Newark (16 mi)
Jersey City = Wall Street back office hub — Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley have major operations in waterfront towers (30 Hudson Street, Exchange Place). Newark = Prudential Financial HQ (12,000+ employees) plus Newark Airport (EWR).
