Flushing Taxi & Car Service

Downtown Flushing is one of the busiest commercial centres in New York, with crowded sidewalks along Main Street, Roosevelt Avenue and 39th Avenue and a large Chinese and Korean community. Traffic is dense, parking is scarce and taxis are hard to catch where you actually need them.

Beyond downtown, Flushing includes the residential streets toward Murray Hill and Auburndale, and borders Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, home of the US Open and Citi Field. South of the park is Forest Hills, with its stadium concerts.

Where we pick up in Flushing

Downtown Flushing — Main Street, Roosevelt Avenue, 39th Avenue and the shopping and hotel buildings around them.

Murray Hill and Broadway–Flushing — the Korean restaurants of Northern Boulevard's Murray Hill section and the quieter residential blocks east of downtown.

Flushing Meadows–Corona Park — the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the Queens Museum, the New York Hall of Science and the Unisphere.

Citi Field and Willets Point — Mets game days and events, with pickups on designated streets away from the stadium crowds. Groups going in a Sprinter or stretch can book through Queens limo service.

Trains, subways and ferries

The 7 ends at Flushing–Main Street, the busiest subway stop outside Manhattan, and also stops at Mets–Willets Point. The Long Island Rail Road Port Washington Branch stops at Flushing–Main Street and at Mets–Willets Point on event days, reaching Penn Station and Grand Central Madison quickly.

Several bus routes, including the Q44 Select Bus to the Bronx and Jamaica, start near Main Street.

Popular taxi trips from Flushing

Taxi to JFK, LaGuardia and Newark

Flushing sits between both Queens airports: LaGuardia to the north-west and JFK straight down the Van Wyck. It is one of the best places in the city for flight flexibility. Newark is a long drive and only worth it for a specific flight.

Traffic, tolls and timing

Main Street is slow for much of the day. Drivers often use Union Street, Prince Street or College Point Boulevard to reach a pickup nearby, and we will name the exact corner.

US Open in late August and early September, and Mets home games, fill the Grand Central Parkway, Van Wyck and Roosevelt Avenue. Book early and allow extra time.

Flushing is outside the congestion zone. Only trips into Manhattan below 60th Street pay the charge. The Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridges to the Bronx are tolled.

Places we drive to

The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Citi Field, the Queens Museum, the New York Hall of Science, the Queens Botanical Garden, Flushing Town Hall, NewYork-Presbyterian Queens on Main Street, and the hotels of Downtown Flushing.

Book a taxi in Flushing

For the US Open or a Mets game, book the return before you arrive and agree a pickup point away from the main gates. Include the hotel or building name in Downtown Flushing, where entrances face several streets. Families travelling together can compare an SUV or taxi van.

Book by calling (888) 201-0419, by WhatsApp, or with the form, and name the building in Downtown Flushing or the gate at Flushing Meadows. A first booking can include 10% off your first ride.
