MacArthur Airport
Car Service
Six airlines fly from Long Island's MacArthur Airport — Southwest, JetBlue, Breeze, Frontier, Avelo and Cape Air. One compact terminal, one pickup point, no TSA crowds. NYC to ISP in 60–80 minutes via the LIE.
Chauffeur Service NYC provides pre-booked car service to and from Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) in Ronkonkoma, NY, for travelers across New York City, Long Island, and the tri-state area. You reserve a vehicle class, share your flight number, and your chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you at ISP's single, centralized pickup point. Available 24/7.
ISP isn't just convenient — it's well-regarded: the airport placed 2nd nationally in USA Today's 2025 10Best Readers' Choice Award for Best Small Airport (USA Today 10Best 2025), its highest ranking to date.
Licensed, insured for-hire ground transportation. See our About Us page for how the service operates.

Getting a confirmed ISP quote
MacArthur transfers are quoted, not metered — priced by pickup location and vehicle class, with no surge and no hidden fees.
MacArthur (ISP) transfers are quoted by distance and pickup location rather than a flat Manhattan-style rate, since trips originate from across NYC, Long Island and the tri-state area. Enter your pickup address and travel date in the booking form for a confirmed, all-inclusive price — tolls, taxes and fees included — before you pay. Unlike ride-hailing apps, which can price this route dynamically and rise sharply during peak departure windows or bad weather, your MacArthur quote is locked in at booking: the number you confirm is the number you pay.
Driving yourself and parking is also an option, but it isn't free: official short-term rates run about $28.65 for 24 hours and long-term about $19.84 for 24 hours (ISP parking rates), on a first-come, first-served lot with no reservation system — before factoring in the round-trip LIE drive and the drive back when you land tired.
For multi-stop or as-directed days — combining an ISP pickup with a Hamptons run or several Long Island stops — hourly rates are all-inclusive of tolls, parking, WiFi, water, and between-stop wait time, with gratuity optional and a 3-hour minimum:
Built for the way you travel
Corporate & executive assistants
A reserved car with a known price and a tracked flight removes the two biggest risks of booking for someone else: a missed connection and a surprise fare. Rides roll up into a monthly corporate invoice.
Long Island residents
Skip the 60–90 minute drive to JFK. ISP is 25–50 minutes from most Nassau and Suffolk communities, with the same door-to-door service you'd get at any NYC airport.
Families
Room for car seats, strollers, and checked bags, with a chauffeur who loads everything at the GTC pickup point.
Groups
One vehicle instead of coordinating several cars at a small terminal — an Executive Sprinter keeps everyone and their luggage together.
Hamptons weekenders
ISP is the closest airport to eastern Long Island. Fly in, and be in Southampton faster than clearing baggage claim at JFK.
Private aviation travelers
ISP has active general-aviation operations with Modern Aviation as the airport's FBO. Our private-aviation team coordinates ground transportation to the ramp.
Point-to-point or hourly?
- Point-to-point is the straightforward airport run: a single quoted price from your address to ISP, or from ISP to your destination. Choose this when you know both ends of the trip.
- Hourly (as-directed) holds a chauffeur and vehicle for a set window, billed per hour with a 3-hour minimum. Choose this for a Long Island day that includes an ISP pickup plus a Hamptons run, multiple stops, or an uncertain schedule — the vehicle stays with you rather than being released after one leg.
Choose the right vehicle
At an airport, luggage decides the vehicle more often than headcount does.
- Executive Sedan (Mercedes E-Class / BMW 5 Series) — one or two travelers with light bags; efficient and discreet.
- Luxury Sedan (Mercedes S-Class) — travelers who want a quieter cabin and more rear-seat space.
- Executive SUV / Luxury SUV (Suburban / Escalade ESV) — families, car seats, or extra luggage a sedan trunk can't take.
- Executive Sprinter — groups or larger families who want everyone and everything in one vehicle.
Every vehicle includes WiFi, charging, and bottled water, and your chauffeur handles the luggage. Car seats are available on request at $25 per seat; include each child's age when you book and allow 48 hours.
Where your chauffeur meets you at ISP
Unlike JFK's multi-terminal, multi-lot system, MacArthur centralizes ground transportation into one location — which makes pickup genuinely simple.
MacArthur is also mid-upgrade: a $14.11 million FAA grant is funding Main Terminal utility, fire-safety, and backup-power improvements (FAA Airport Terminal Program award) — modernization work, not the kind of roadway overhaul that changes where cars can pick up. Separately, New York State announced $150 million in February 2025 toward a planned new North Terminal connected by pedestrian walkway to the Ronkonkoma LIRR station (Governor Hochul announcement) — that project is still in planning with no construction timeline yet, so it changes nothing about today's pickup process. Share your flight number when you book so dispatch has your current arrival time.
How booking works
Reserve
Book online, call 347-321-9929, or email — with your flight number, date and time, addresses, passenger count, and vehicle class.
Confirm your quote
You receive a confirmed, all-inclusive price, typically within the hour.
We track your flight
Monitoring begins before you land; if the arrival time shifts, the pickup adjusts automatically.
Meet at the GTC
Your chauffeur waits under the Ground Transportation Center canopy, handles your bags, and you're on your way.
When MacArthur Airport Makes Sense
ISP is the smarter choice for specific routes and traveler profiles.
Six-airline fare choice
Southwest still offers two free checked bags and no change fees — a real savings edge for a family of four. Combined with JetBlue, Breeze, Frontier and Avelo also flying from ISP, travelers have genuine fare choice without leaving Long Island.
Long Island convenience
For residents of Nassau and Suffolk County, ISP is 25–50 minutes away vs. 60–90 minutes to JFK. Eliminate the stress of LIE rush hour traffic to Queens. Same destinations, fraction of the drive time.
One pickup point, not a maze
A single terminal and a single Ground Transportation Center means no terminal-to-terminal routing or remote lots. Check-in to boarding in under 20 minutes on a normal day.
Hamptons connection
ISP is 50–70 minutes from the Hamptons — closer than any NYC airport. Weekend travelers can fly into ISP and be in Southampton faster than clearing baggage claim at JFK.
Airlines at MacArthur Airport
Six carriers serve ISP year-round or seasonally (current airline list).
ISP Drive Times
Your chauffeur monitors LIE traffic and selects the optimal route.
What's included, and what isn't
All tolls included
Midtown Tunnel, LIE tolls, and any crossing fees included in your quote.
Real-time flight tracking
Chauffeur adjusts to your actual landing time. Delayed or early — pickup shifts automatically.
All-inclusive pricing
Tolls, fuel, wait time, parking all included. No surge, no hidden fees.
Chauffeur SMS updates
Vehicle details texted once positioned at the GTC. One pickup point — simple to find.
Luggage handled
Your chauffeur handles all bags, whichever airline you fly — Southwest passengers get two checked bags free, and we carry those too.
WiFi & device charging
Complimentary WiFi and charging for the 60–80 minute drive.
Car seats available
Rear-facing, forward-facing, booster — $25 per seat. Great for family travel.
Pet-friendly
All vehicles, no fee. Seat cover prepared in advance.
Flexible changes
Southwest lets you change flights free. We let you change pickup times free too.
24/7 availability
Early morning and late evening flights across all six ISP carriers covered.
Corporate, group, and private-aviation travel
Corporate accounts
A corporate account adds a dedicated contact, consolidated monthly invoicing itemized by ride, and NET-30 terms, with no minimum commitment and no setup fee. Accounts are typically ready within 24 hours.
Groups
An Executive Sprinter keeps a group and its luggage in one vehicle instead of coordinating several sedans at a small terminal. Share the passenger count and flight and we stage the right vehicle.
Private aviation
MacArthur has active general-aviation operations, with Modern Aviation (formerly Sheltair) operating as the airport's FBO (Modern Aviation at ISP). ISP also has an on-site U.S. Customs facility for international general-aviation arrivals (CBP general aviation fact sheet), so an international private flight can clear customs without diverting to a commercial airport. Share your tail number, operator, and passenger count so our private-aviation team coordinates the ground transfer.
