Washington Heights & Inwood Taxi & Car Service

Washington Heights and Inwood cover northern Manhattan from about 155th Street up to the Harlem River. Yellow cabs seldom come this far north unless they are dropping someone off, and green boro taxis come and go. For a hospital appointment, an early flight or a late night on Dyckman Street, arranging a car ahead is simply more dependable.

This is also one of New York's largest Dominican communities. If you prefer Spanish, you can start with our taxi en Nueva York page and message us on WhatsApp.

Popular taxi trips from Washington Heights

Taxi to JFK, LaGuardia and Newark

Northern Manhattan sits right beside the George Washington Bridge, which makes Newark unusually convenient. LaGuardia over the RFK Bridge is also quick. JFK is the longest trip of the three from here and deserves the most allowance for Van Wyck traffic.

Traffic, tolls and timing

The George Washington Bridge is tolled into New Jersey, and its approaches on the Trans-Manhattan and Cross Bronx Expressways are among the most congested roads in the country at peak times.

Harlem River Drive is the east-side route south and toward the RFK Bridge; the Henry Hudson Parkway runs down the west side toward Midtown. Both are faster than Broadway when they are flowing.

Outside the congestion zone. The whole area is far above 60th Street, so only trips continuing into Midtown or Downtown pay the charge. Dyckman Street on weekend nights is busy until late; meet the driver on a side street off Broadway rather than on Dyckman itself.

Book a taxi in Washington Heights

For medical visits, name the building — Milstein, Herbert Irving or the children's hospital — so the driver goes to the right door. An Economy Sedan is the usual choice here; families visiting relatives with luggage from the airport often need an SUV or a taxi van.

Call (888) 201-0419, or send the medical building, home address and time by WhatsApp or the form. New customers can ask for 10% off your first ride.
