Stewart International Airport car service from Midtown Manhattan costs $245 flat for a Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan and $295 flat for a Cadillac Escalade ESV — flat-rate pricing with no surge, no variable metering, and no peak-hour multipliers. The route runs 60 miles via I-87 (the New York State Thruway), with one toll of approximately $5 cash equivalent included in our flat rate, averaging 75-95 minutes off-peak and 100-140 minutes during rush hour or weekend traffic. Uber and Lyft do not operate reliably to SWF from Manhattan — the 60-mile distance triggers long-distance surge multipliers, drivers frequently cancel, and there are no return fares available, making rideshare pricing unpredictable from $350 to $700+ when available at all. SWF is the cost-effective choice for Hudson Valley travelers: residents of Newburgh are 10 minutes from the terminal, Middletown 25 minutes, Poughkeepsie 35 minutes, and Kingston 45 minutes — far closer than the 90-150 minutes required to reach JFK or LaGuardia. BlackCarService.NYC monitors every arriving flight in real time, adjusts pickup automatically for delays or early arrivals, and includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait time. All tolls and taxes are included — only gratuity (20% customary) is added.
