Westchester County Airport (HPN) Car Service

Westchester County Airport car service, taxi and limo

Westchester County Airport (HPN) is a small airport on the Westchester–Connecticut line, in the Town of Harrison, just off exit 2 of I-684. It has one compact terminal for airline flights, and a busy private-aviation side. For people who live or work in Westchester or Fairfield County, it can be ten minutes from home instead of an hour. We run cars, SUVs, Sprinters and limousines to and from HPN, and between HPN and Manhattan, the rest of Westchester and Connecticut.

Who flies from HPN

HPN mostly serves business travellers and residents of Westchester and southern Connecticut. The corporate campuses in Purchase and Armonk are minutes away, and many executive trips are a short car ride at each end. The terminal is small, so the walk from the car to the gate is short and the security queue is usually manageable. Flights are fewer than at LaGuardia or JFK, and the destinations are mostly domestic.

Arriving at HPN: where the car meets you

The single terminal makes the pickup simple. After you collect your bags, the car meets you at the arrivals kerb or in the short-term parking area, as confirmed in your booking. Because the airport is small, delays mostly come from the flight itself, not from the walk out. We follow the actual landing time, so an early or late arrival moves the pickup automatically.

For a client or a senior colleague, a chauffeur can wait inside with a name board. The airport chauffeur page explains meet-and-greet.

Private aviation and FBO pickups

HPN has a large general-aviation side, with several FBOs handling private and charter flights. If you are arriving or leaving by private jet, tell reservations:

• the FBO name
• the arrival or departure time
• the aircraft tail number if you have it
• the number of passengers and bags

Each FBO sets its own rules on where cars may wait and whether they can go airside, and we confirm what is possible for your FBO when you book.

HPN or LaGuardia?

For many Westchester and Greenwich travellers the choice is between HPN and LaGuardia:

• HPN is closer, quicker to get through and easier at both ends. Flights are fewer, and fares can be higher.
• LaGuardia has many more flights and destinations. From lower Westchester it is 30 to 50 minutes by car over the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, longer at rush hour.
• JFK and Newark make sense for long-haul and international flights. Plan for 60 to 100 minutes from most of Westchester. See JFK and Newark.

Departing from HPN

The small terminal means less time inside the airport, but don't cut it too fine: the check-in and security cut-offs are the same as anywhere. From White Plains or Greenwich a short pickup window is enough. From Manhattan, allow for the Bronx, which is unpredictable at rush hour. Reservations will suggest a pickup time from your address and your flight time.

HPN to Manhattan and back

The drive into the city usually takes the Hutchinson River Parkway, or I-87 and the Major Deegan, through the Bronx and over a Harlem River bridge or the RFK Bridge. The Hutchinson is a parkway with restrictions on commercial vehicles. Depending on its registration, a Sprinter may take I-287 and I-87 instead, and the timing allows for that. Manhattan trips south of 60th Street can carry the congestion charge, and any tolls are on the quote.

Vehicles for HPN

• Executive sedan: the usual choice for one to three business travellers.
• Economy sedan: a lower-cost option for the same group.
• Luxury SUV: up to six, or a family with skis or golf bags.
• Sprinter: up to 14, for a team or a wedding party.

A stretch limousine can meet an HPN arrival on the four-hour minimum explained on the limo service page. For children, see car service with car seats.
