NYC to Atlantic City: What You Need to Know

Atlantic City sits approximately 130 miles south of Manhattan on the New Jersey coast, making it one of the closest casino destinations to NYC. The drive follows the Lincoln Tunnel into New Jersey, picks up the NJ Turnpike south, then transitions to the Garden State Parkway and Atlantic City Expressway for the final approach. Off-peak, the trip takes roughly 2 hours. Summer weekends can stretch to 3+ hours due to shore-bound traffic on the Parkway.

True North VIP provides private chauffeured transfers with pickup anywhere in the NYC metro area and drop-off at the front entrance of any Atlantic City casino — Borgata, Hard Rock, Ocean Casino Resort, Caesars, Tropicana, Resorts, Harrah's, or Golden Nugget. You also avoid casino parking fees ($20–60 per night) and the hassle of navigating garage decks with luggage. All tolls are included in the quoted fare: Lincoln/Holland Tunnel, NJ Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and the Atlantic City Expressway.

The service is especially popular for group trips — bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate outings, and birthday celebrations. A Sprinter van seats up to 14 passengers and lets the group travel together instead of splitting across multiple cars. For couples or solo travelers, an Executive Sedan or Luxury SUV provides a refined arrival. Late-night returns (midnight, 2 AM, 4 AM) are routine — your chauffeur arrives at your casino entrance on schedule.

The Route: NYC to Atlantic City

Two hours through the heart of New Jersey. Here's what each segment looks like.

Manhattan → NJ Turnpike

~10 mi20–40 min

Lincoln Tunnel (Midtown) or Holland Tunnel (Lower Manhattan) into New Jersey, then surface roads to the NJ Turnpike. Tunnel selection depends on your pickup address and real-time congestion. The Lincoln Tunnel backs up 20+ minutes during weekday evenings — the Holland is often faster for Friday departures.

NJ Turnpike South → Exit 7A

~60 mi45 min–1 hr

The Turnpike segment passes through the industrial corridor past Newark, then opens into central New Jersey. Traffic concentrates near the Exit 8A area (East Brunswick/Jamesburg) during commute hours but flows well during weekend and evening departures. Joyce Kilmer and Molly Pitcher service plazas are available for rest stops.

I-195 East → Garden State Parkway

~25 mi20–30 min

I-195 connects the Turnpike to the Garden State Parkway — a quick, typically uncongested stretch through rural Monmouth County. The GSP interchange is smooth outside summer Fridays.

Garden State Parkway → AC Expressway

~35 mi30–50 min

The GSP segment south through Ocean and Atlantic counties. During summer beach season (June–September), this stretch can slow to a crawl on Fridays between Exits 98 and 63 as shore traffic converges. The Atlantic City Expressway is the final 25-mile sprint — a divided highway with minimal traffic that ends at the casino district.

Atlantic City Casino Drop-Offs

Two distinct districts — the Boardwalk and the Marina — each with different access routes and entrance logistics.

Boardwalk Casinos

The Boardwalk strip along the oceanfront houses Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (the former Trump Taj Mahal at Virginia Avenue), Ocean Casino Resort (north end at States Avenue), Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana (south end at Brighton Park), and Resorts Casino Hotel (the original Atlantic City casino at North Carolina Avenue). Drop-off is via Pacific Avenue or the casino's designated vehicle entrance on the street side.

• Hard Rock — Virginia Ave & Boardwalk

• Ocean Casino — States Ave & Boardwalk (north)

• Caesars — Arkansas Ave & Pacific Ave

• Tropicana — Brighton Park (south)

• Resorts — North Carolina Ave & Boardwalk

Marina District Casinos

The Marina District sits on the bay side of Atlantic City, accessed directly from the AC Expressway without driving through city streets. Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is the anchor property — the most popular casino in Atlantic City and frequently the destination for NYC-based groups. Harrah's and Golden Nugget are also in this district. The Marina entrance from the Expressway is the fastest casino access from New York.

• Borgata — Renaissance Pointe (main entrance)

• Harrah's — Brigantine Blvd

• Golden Nugget — Huron Ave & Brigantine Blvd

Who Books the NYC–AC Corridor

Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties

The most common group booking for the AC route. Groups of 8–14 in a Sprinter van travel together, arrive in style at Borgata or Hard Rock, and have a late-night return handled so nobody has to be the designated driver.

Casino & Gaming

High-roller and regular casino visitors who prefer to arrive fresh rather than fatigued from driving. Eliminating the parking hassle ($20–60/night) and the post-casino drive home is worth the investment for frequent AC visitors.

Concerts & Shows

Hard Rock Live, Borgata Event Center, and Ocean Casino's Ovation Hall host major concerts, comedy acts, and boxing/MMA events year-round. A chauffeured ride lets you enjoy the show and the after-party without worrying about the 2 AM drive back to NYC.

Conventions & Business

The Atlantic City Convention Center hosts trade shows, expos, and corporate events throughout the year. Business travelers prefer the productivity of a chauffeured ride — work during transit instead of battling Parkway traffic. Sprinters work well for corporate delegations attending the same event.

Beach & Boardwalk Weekends

Beyond the casinos, Atlantic City offers beach access, the historic Boardwalk, Steel Pier amusements, and a restaurant scene anchored by historic spots like Dock's Oyster House (since 1897) and the Knife & Fork Inn (since 1927). Families and couples book for beach weekends without the drive.

NJ Shore Multi-Stop

Travelers combining AC with other Jersey Shore destinations — Asbury Park, Long Branch, or Cape May — on the same trip. The car stays with you for seamless shore-hopping instead of multiple rental car drop-offs.

Why Car Service Beats Driving Yourself

No Parking Fees

Casino self-parking runs $20–40/night, valet is $30–60/night. A weekend stay easily racks up $60–120 in parking alone. Your chauffeured car drops you at the front entrance and eliminates parking entirely.

Enjoy the Casino Fully

No need to limit drinks or watch the clock because you're driving home. Your return chauffeur arrives at your scheduled time — whether that's midnight or 4 AM — at the casino entrance.

Group Economics

Four people in an Escalade SUV split the fare four ways. Eight people in a Sprinter split it eight ways. Add up gas, tolls ($15–20 each way), and parking — the per-person difference often narrows or disappears for groups.

VIP Arrival

Pull up to the Borgata or Hard Rock front entrance in an Escalade ESV or Mercedes Sprinter. The impression matters for milestone celebrations, corporate outings, and bachelor/bachelorette weekends.
