Crossing the Hudson
Runs to HPN, LaGuardia and JFK usually cross the Newburgh–Beacon Bridge and take I-84 east; Newark and Teterboro runs head south on the Thruway or I-87. The driver picks the crossing on the day. Newburgh is outside our local-taxi zone, so we serve it for airport and long-distance rides by reservation, 24/7.
Your flat rate includes up to 15 minutes of waiting; cancellations more than 2 hours before pickup are free, and tolls are passed through at cost (see our Terms of Service).
