Where is the UBS Arena drop-off and pickup for a car?

UBS Arena directs ordinary passenger cars to the north-side drop-off and pickup area. For a limousine or oversized vehicle, enter through Gate 5 Road off Hempstead Turnpike, drop off at Silver C and continue to assigned parking. Before the event, agree with your chauffeur on a legal return meeting point.

The venue does not publish a universal sedan-only black-car bay. Choose a meeting spot the venue permits, share it with your group before the event, and text your chauffeur when everyone is ready to leave. The venue's instructions for the event and vehicle category guide the approach.

Where is rideshare pickup after a game or concert?

The venue's general rideshare pickup is on the north side, reached through Cross Island Parkway Exit 26D and Green Road. Guests can regroup in the indoor waiting area near Section 118, then follow the event directions to the pickup area. Keep your party together and use the designated area for the ride you requested.

For a prearranged chauffeur, set a legal meeting point before the event rather than choosing a curb after the show. Check the venue's current arrival instructions before walking over.

How does UBS Arena parking work?

UBS Arena uses different entrances for the garage and parking lots. Match the lot printed on your pass to the exit in the table, keep the pass ready, and follow the venue's current event directions as you approach the property. That keeps your arrival aligned with the parking plan you purchased.

Parking pass or lotApproach exit in the venue guide
GarageExit 26A
Diamond, Ruby or SilverExit 26B
EmeraldExit 26D

If you are arriving by hired car, share the venue instructions for your vehicle category with your chauffeur. For your own car, follow the lot and entrance printed on your parking pass.

How to get to UBS Arena

Yes, Elmont-UBS Arena is the accessible LIRR station serving the venue. Hempstead, Huntington and Ronkonkoma branch trains serve it daily. From the station, the arena describes a 10-to-15-minute walk or a free shuttle of about five minutes; check TrainTime for your departure and the shuttle for your event.

The arena describes the rail trip from Penn Station or Grand Central Madison as about 30 minutes. Treat that as station-to-station time and plan for the remaining walk or shuttle, arena entry and any event line.

A chauffeur can take you from a hotel or another starting point away from a station, or cover one leg of a rail-and-car trip. Compare the complete door-to-door plan with the event-day train schedule.

How do I prepare for an Islanders game or concert?
