Why Use Car Service for Yankee Stadium Events?
A car service takes you from your door to the Gate 2 area at Yankee Stadium and back, with no parking to find and no crowded platform after the last out. You book one all-in price before the game, and the chauffeur meets you at an agreed spot when you leave the stadium.
| Option | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Car service | Door to the Gate 2 area; return pickup at an agreed spot |
| Driving yourself | Parking in lots and garages run by City Parking |
| Subway | B, D and 4 trains to 161 St Yankee Stadium |
| Metro-North | Yankees E 153 St station |
Groups of up to 6 fit an SUV, and up to 13 fit an Executive Sprinter, so a family or a group of friends rides together. Prices are all-in, with taxes, tolls and fees included and gratuity optional, and you see the full price before you book.
Yankee Stadium: MLB's Most Iconic Ballpark
Yankee Stadium is home to the New York Yankees, at One East 161st Street in the Bronx. It has four entry gates, 2, 4, 6 and 8, which usually open 90 minutes before first pitch, according to the Yankees ballpark guide. The Yankees list car service and the taxi stand outside Gate 2.
Bag policy
The Yankees allow one soft-sided bag or backpack up to 16 by 16 by 8 inches, plus one small soft-sided item. Hard-sided bags are not allowed. Leave anything else in the car if you book hourly, or at home.
Concerts and other events
The stadium also hosts concerts and other events outside the baseball season. The same drop-off area and booking steps apply; check the event's own page for gate times and bag rules, which can differ from game days. For a concert night, book the return for after the show and agree on a pickup point away from the busiest gate.
Yankees Games & Major Events
The Yankees open the 2027 season at home on Mar 25, 2027 against the Toronto Blue Jays, and they host the Mets in the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium on Jul 16 to 18, 2027, according to the Yankees 2027 schedule and the Mets 2027 schedule release. Big games bring heavier traffic around 161st Street.
| 2027 date | Game | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 25, 2027 | Opening Day vs Toronto Blue Jays | MLB |
| Jul 16 to 18, 2027 | Subway Series vs New York Mets | MLB |
On major event dates an event surcharge may apply and is shown before you book. For Opening Day and the Subway Series, book early and leave extra time for traffic near the stadium.

Skip Yankee Stadium Parking Gridlock: Choose Car Service
Parking at Yankee Stadium is in lots and garages operated by City Parking, according to the Yankees directions and parking page. With a car service you skip the search for a space and the slow exit after the game; the chauffeur drops you off and meets you afterward.
On a return trip, agree on a pickup point before you go in. After the game, walk to that spot, and call 888-887-0324 if plans change. Our wait time policy explains the grace period on regular pickups.
Avoid Post-Game Subway Crowds at 161st Street Station
The 161 St Yankee Stadium station serves the B, D and 4 trains, according to the MTA, and Metro-North stops at Yankees E 153 St. After the final out, those platforms fill quickly. A car service lets your group leave together from a set pickup point and ride straight home or back to the hotel.
For families with small children, SUVs and Sprinters take child seats at $25 each. Sedans do not take child seats.

One way, round trip or hourly?
A one-way ride suits fans who will head on to dinner nearby. A round trip books the return as a second ride, set for after the game. Hourly service keeps the same car near the stadium for the whole game with a 3-hour minimum, from $120 per hour for an Executive Sedan.
