US Open Car Service NYC | Flushing Meadows

Getting to the US Open

The hardest ticket is the ride home

Every year, late August into the second week of September, the tennis world settles into Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens — roughly eight miles from Midtown. In session traffic, that reads as twenty-five minutes, or well over an hour.

The 7 train & LIRR

Mets–Willets Point works — until a night match ends past midnight and the platform fills.

Driving yourself

Parking at a distance, then finding the car again afterward — in the dark, with the lots emptying around you.

The rideshare crush

Quietly notorious — thousands of people, one lot, every app surging at once.

The house runs it differently. A chauffeur meets you at your door — a Manhattan hotel, an office, a Hamptons driveway — and when the session ends, whenever it ends, the same car is holding nearby.

You walk out. You get in.

Garaged in Queens · minutes from the grounds

Famous Drive has moved New York this way since 2012, and the fleet lives minutes from Flushing Meadows — a detail that matters at half past midnight. One desk holds the whole tournament — sessions, suite groups, airport runs, the Hamptons leg — and rates are confirmed privately when the desk builds your schedule.

Tournament Service

Every session, handled

Manhattan, door to grounds

Pickups from any Manhattan hotel or office, timed to the session rather than the clock. Your chauffeur watches the order of play and the parkways, and adjusts before you have to ask.

The late-night hold

Night sessions run late; five-setters run later. Your car waits through the final game and meets you as you clear the grounds — no lot, no queue, no app deciding when you leave.

Suites and hospitality, one manifest

Corporate boxes, brand suites, agency and player-camp movements — the desk runs the whole group on a single manifest, with sedans, SUVs, and Sprinters staged across sessions and hotels.

Airports and the Hamptons

LaGuardia is minutes from the grounds; JFK is close. The desk folds arrivals, departures, and the Hamptons weekend into the same schedule, so the tennis and the travel read as one plan.

The fifth set runs past midnight.

Questions

US Open — FAQ

How do I get to the US Open from Manhattan?

The grounds sit in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens, roughly eight miles from Midtown. Most visitors take the 7 train or the LIRR to Mets–Willets Point, drive and park, or book a car. Famous Drive runs chauffeured door-to-door service from any Manhattan address to the National Tennis Center, with the return held for you however late the session runs.

How long is the drive to the US Open from Midtown?

Twenty-five minutes on a clear road; an hour or more when sessions turn over. The route runs via the Queens–Midtown Tunnel and the Long Island Expressway, or the Grand Central Parkway, and your chauffeur times the departure around the order of play rather than a fixed guess.

Can I get a pickup after a night session at the US Open?

Yes — this is much of why clients book the house for the tournament. Night matches can end after midnight, and the post-session rideshare crush at the lots is notorious. Your chauffeur holds through the final set and meets you as you exit; the car leaves when you do, not when an app decides.

Do you handle group and hospitality transport for the US Open?

Yes. Corporate hospitality, brand suites, agencies, and player camps move on a single manifest — multiple vehicles, staggered sessions, hotels and airports folded in. One desk contact owns the whole tournament, and rates are confirmed privately when the schedule is built.
