Long Island City & Astoria Car Service
The best-connected corner of Queens.
RideSoHo provides private car service across Long Island City, Astoria, Hunters Point, Court Square and Sunnyside — the western Queens neighbourhoods closest to Manhattan.
LaGuardia is minutes away, JFK is a straightforward run east, and Midtown is one bridge or tunnel west. Few parts of the city are better placed for airport travel.
Working Here
Three things western Queens teaches you.
LaGuardia is genuinely close
Minutes, not an hour.
Astoria and Long Island City sit nearer LaGuardia than almost anywhere else in the city, which changes departure timing considerably.
Streets are wide
Unlike Brooklyn or downtown.
Newer towers have proper access, and the older blocks are wide enough that a pickup at the door is usually straightforward — including for a Sprinter.
One crossing to Manhattan
Queensboro, Midtown Tunnel or the Pulaski.
Which works depends on the hour and on where in Midtown you are going. It is chosen on the day.
How People Book
Four ways western Queens books.
LaGuardia transfers
The shortest airport run of almost any neighbourhood in the city, with the flight watched from departure.
JFK transfers
A straightforward run east, and direct onward to Long Island if that is where you are going.
Into Manhattan
One crossing, chosen on the day, with the rate fixed either way.
Corporate & hourly
The LIC office towers and studios, with the car held between stops.
Around Here
What sits around you.
Well connected in every direction.
Hotels here
The Ravel Hotel, the Boro and the Court Square and Hunters Point properties, most with proper vehicle access — and minutes from LaGuardia.
Hunters Point & the waterfront
The towers and the ferry, with the Manhattan skyline opposite.
Astoria
Residential and busy in the evenings, minutes from LaGuardia.
The studios
Kaufman Astoria and Silvercup, where production days run to a moving order.
Choosing a Vehicle
Anything works here.
Wide streets and modern building access mean a Sprinter is straightforward, unlike much of the city.

Questions
Long Island City and Astoria, answered.
How close is Long Island City to LaGuardia?
Very — it is among the shortest airport runs of any neighbourhood in the city. Departure is still planned around the hour and the terminal rather than the distance alone.
Which crossing is used into Manhattan?
The Queensboro Bridge, the Midtown Tunnel or the Pulaski, depending on the hour and where in Midtown you are going. The rate does not change either way.
Can a Sprinter collect in Long Island City?
Yes, straightforwardly. Streets here are wider than in Brooklyn or downtown and the newer towers have proper vehicle access.
Do you serve the Astoria studios?
Yes — Kaufman Astoria and Silvercup. Production days run to a moving order, so the car is held hourly and equipment stays in it.
Is JFK or LaGuardia better from Astoria?
LaGuardia by distance, considerably. JFK is a straightforward run east and is served directly with the flight watched from departure.
Can I travel from LIC straight to the Hamptons?
Yes, east without a stop in Manhattan — and the same journey back.
Do you collect from the Hunters Point waterfront?
Yes, including the residential towers, with the building’s access used where it has one.
Do you serve Citi Field and Flushing from here?
Yes, east along the Grand Central, with event pickups agreed away from the gates.
