How does car service from Philadelphia to New York work?
Car service from Philadelphia to New York City is a private, pre-booked car that drives you about 95 miles from your Philadelphia address to your exact destination in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens, at a price agreed before you leave.
The usual route is the New Jersey Turnpike and then the Lincoln Tunnel into Midtown or the Holland Tunnel for Lower Manhattan. Traffic at the tunnels decides the timing more than the distance does, so a 6 a.m. start and a 4 p.m. start are very different trips.
People book the car instead of the train for three reasons: luggage, a group, or a destination that is not near Penn Station. For the New York airports, see JFK, LaGuardia and Newark.

Car service or Amtrak to New York?
For one person with a laptop bag going to Midtown, the train is hard to beat. The car earns its place with bags, groups and addresses away from the station.
| Car service | Amtrak from 30th Street | |
|---|---|---|
| Door to door | Yes | Station to station, then a taxi or subway |
| Luggage | In the trunk | Carried by you |
| Group of four | One price for the car | Four fares |
| Several stops in New York | Book the car by the hour | Not practical |
| Late return | Any hour | Last train times apply |
Rail fares and timetables change; check Amtrak for current options.
Worth knowing before you compare prices
Cars entering Manhattan at or below 60th Street pay a congestion toll: $9 at peak with E-ZPass, from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at weekends.
The toll applies once a day to any car entering the zone, including ours. The FDR Drive and the West Side Highway are outside it.

Quoted word for word from our Google Business Profile.
We needed a limousine last minute and since we had 18+ bags most people were not able to accommodate us. We booked them the night before, they were on time, courteous and did not let us lift 1 bag!
The driver was fantastic. I missed to give him the tip. Please send my big thank you to him. I really appreciated all the kind support when travelling from abroad. Many thanks.
On our recent family trip in Philadelphia. We have booked a reservation with Black Car Philly which gave us the most amazing black car transportation experience. Definitely recommend it!
