New Rochelle station (New Haven Line) is about 2 minutes from New Rochelle, with Pelham (5 min) and Larchmont (6 min) as backups. The catch for Manhattan is what comes after Grand Central: a subway or cab transfer if your address is not near Grand Central. That is why most New Rochelle travellers with luggage book the car instead.
Neighbours book this route too: North Pelham (1.3 mi), Pelham (1.3 mi), Pelham Manor (1.7 mi) and Larchmont (2 mi) are all within a few miles, and the flat rate is set by the pickup address rather than the town name.
Allow 45 min of driving, more in rush hour, when you set the pickup time. Reserve by phone or text at (914) 666-7373 (6 AM–10 PM); the booking confirms the fixed flat rate and the driver. Airport and long-distance rides run 24/7 by reservation, and pickups before 6 AM must be reserved the day before.
