Staten Island is closer to New Jersey than to most of New York City, and getting off the island usually means a bridge toll and a careful choice of route. PrimeLimoNYC handles that planning for you, with private, chauffeur-driven sedans, SUVs, Sprinter vans and buses available 24 hours a day for airport runs, Manhattan commutes, weddings and events.
Airports near Staten Island
Newark Liberty is often the closest major airport to Staten Island via the Goethals Bridge. JFK and LaGuardia are reached over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Estimated drive times:
| Airport | Typical drive from Mid-Island |
|---|---|
| Newark Liberty (EWR) | 20–35 minutes |
| Linden (LDJ) | 20–30 minutes |
| JFK International | 40–65 minutes |
| LaGuardia (LGA) | 45–70 minutes |
| Teterboro (TEB) | 40–60 minutes |
Because bridge traffic can back up quickly, we recommend booking early-morning airport rides at least a day ahead. See our airport transfer service for details.

Staten Island to Manhattan without the ferry rush
The ferry is quick, but it means getting to St. George and then onward from Lower Manhattan. A private car takes you door to door to Midtown, the Financial District or a Manhattan venue via the Verrazzano Bridge and Brooklyn, or through New Jersey and the Holland Tunnel when that route is faster.
Proms, weddings and big days
Staten Island has a strong tradition of proms, sweet sixteens and large family weddings. We provide sedans and SUVs for the main party and Sprinter vans, mini buses or coach buses for friends and guests, all on one coordinated schedule. Book early for May and June, when prom and wedding dates fill up quickly.
Choosing the right route off the island
From Staten Island there are three main ways out: the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to Brooklyn, the Goethals Bridge to Elizabeth and Newark, and the Outerbridge Crossing to Perth Amboy and Central New Jersey. Your chauffeur checks traffic before departure and picks the fastest option for your destination, which can save a lot of time when one crossing is backed up.
