US Open 2026 Transportation from New Jersey
Basking Ridge Limousine Services coordinates chauffeured transportation from New Jersey residences, offices, hotels and airports to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens. Sedans, SUVs and Sprinters, reserved and confirmed before match day. USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center • Flushing Meadows • Queens, NY
Where the US Open Is Held
The US Open is played at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, inside Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Flushing, Queens, New York. The grounds sit roughly 45 road miles east of Basking Ridge, which makes this a New Jersey–to–Queens crossing rather than a local drive.
The 2026 tournament runs August 23 through September 13, 2026. Fan Week and qualifying open the schedule, and main–draw singles play begins Sunday, August 30. Match play is concentrated on three show courts — Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium and the Grandstand — plus more than a dozen outside courts.
Session times, gate opening times and on–site traffic procedures are set by the tournament and can change. Confirm those directly with the official US Open schedule for the day you are attending. We build your pickup time around the session you actually hold tickets for.
2026 Tournament Dates
The Match Is the Easy Part. Getting There Should Be Too.
Flushing Meadows absorbs a very large crowd across a three–week schedule, and the roads into Queens were not built for it. A reservation made in advance removes the part of the day you cannot control.
Door-to-Door Service
Pickup from your home, hotel, office or airport terminal. No parking to find, no walk from a remote lot.
Pre-Coordinated Trips
Vehicle, chauffeur, pickup address and timing are all established in writing before the day you travel.
Professional Chauffeurs
Background–checked, professional chauffeurs who drive this region every day — not a driver assigned minutes beforehand.
Group Travel Together
Sedans, SUVs and Sprinters keep couples, families, executives and groups on one schedule and one arrival.

Door-to-Door US Open Transportation Across New Jersey
We are a New Jersey company based at 104 Lyons Mall in Basking Ridge, and the towns below are the ones we drive every week. A trip to Flushing is a scheduled pickup from your address, a crossing into Queens, and a confirmed return — coordinated before match day rather than arranged on the street afterward.
Travel time from New Jersey to Flushing Meadows varies substantially with the hour, the session and conditions on the crossings. We confirm the departure time for your specific pickup address and session when you reserve, rather than publishing an estimate that will not hold on a given afternoon.
Our home counties
Somerset, Morris & Hunterdon
Closest to the crossings
Union, Essex & Middlesex
Flying In for the US Open? We Will Handle the Ground Transportation.
Airport transfers are scheduled around your flight, and the arrival arrangement — where your chauffeur meets you and how luggage is handled — is confirmed with you when you reserve. We can route you airport to hotel, airport to the tennis center, or straight through as one itinerary.
LaGuardia Airport
The nearest major airport to Flushing Meadows, and the usual choice for domestic travellers coming in for a single session or a short trip.
Meet-and-greet · Flight tracking · Hotel transfer
John F. Kennedy International
The main long–haul gateway for international visitors, and also in Queens — a practical arrival point for anyone attending several sessions.
Meet-and-greet · Flight tracking · Hotel transfer
Newark Liberty International
The natural airport for visitors staying in New Jersey. Fly into EWR, stay on our side of the Hudson, and travel to Flushing by chauffeured vehicle.
Meet-and-greet · Flight tracking · NJ hotel transfer
Teterboro Airport
Private aviation arrivals in Bergen County. FBO–side pickup coordinated with your flight department for executives and family offices.
FBO pickup · Private jet ground transportation
Westchester County Airport
A quieter alternative for visitors coming from Connecticut, Westchester or north of the city, whether flying private or commercial.
Flight tracking · Hotel transfer
Philadelphia International
Sometimes the better fare or connection for visitors headed to southern and central New Jersey before travelling on to Queens.
Flight tracking · Long-distance transfer
Corporate & VIP Transportation for US Open Week
US Open week is a hosting week. Clients are flown in, suites are filled, dinners are booked, and someone has to make the ground movement work across three weeks of sessions and several vehicles at once.
We work with executive assistants, travel managers, hospitality planners and family offices: one point of contact, written itineraries for each vehicle, account billing, and coordinated dispatch when more than one car is moving on the same evening.
Client Entertainment
Hotel or office pickup, session arrival, dinner afterward, return to the hotel — as one written itinerary rather than three separate bookings.
Multi-Vehicle Dispatch
Several vehicles moving on the same evening, coordinated from one reservation and one contact.
Executive Arrivals
Commercial arrivals at EWR, JFK and LGA, or private aviation at Teterboro, with flight tracking on every trip.
Group Hospitality
Sprinter and group transportation for company outings and suite parties travelling together.
Account Coordination
Corporate accounts, consolidated billing and a single reservations contact for the whole tournament.
Special Occasions
Anniversary sessions, milestone birthdays and other special events built around a night at the National Tennis Center.
Your US Open Transportation Plan
Reserve Your Vehicle
Give us the date, the session, your pickup address and the passenger count. Online, by phone, by text or on WhatsApp.
Confirm Your Itinerary
You receive written confirmation with the vehicle, the pickup time, chauffeur contact details and the plan for your return.
Chauffeured Arrival
Your chauffeur arrives at the scheduled time and drives you to Flushing Meadows for your session.
Post-Match Coordination
You follow the confirmed communication plan and meet your chauffeur at the agreed point for the drive home.
Staging and pickup arrangements around Flushing Meadows–Corona Park depend on event–day traffic management and venue procedures, so the exact meeting point is agreed with you in advance rather than fixed in print.
Day Session or Night Session? Plan the Ride Differently.
A day session and a night session are two different transportation problems. Tell us which one you hold tickets for and the itinerary changes accordingly.
Day Sessions
An earlier start and a longer day
- Departures are earlier, which means building around morning and late–morning traffic on the crossings rather than the evening peak.
- Day sessions run long. Families and full–day attendees often want a flexible return rather than a fixed one.
- Lunch, a stop in Manhattan on the way home, or a hotel drop can be written into the same reservation.
- Child seats are available on request, which matters for a family day at the grounds.
Night Sessions
A late finish and a long way home
- Getting into Queens in the evening means crossing at the busiest hour of the day. Departure times are set accordingly.
- Dinner before or after the session is common, and easier as a scheduled stop than as an improvised one.
- Night matches can finish very late. A confirmed reservation is worth more at midnight in Flushing than at any other point in the day.
- Corporate entertainment is usually a night session. Return trips to New Jersey or a Manhattan hotel are pre–arranged for each guest.
Session start times are published by the tournament and change through the schedule. Check your ticket and the official schedule; we set the pickup time from the session you actually hold.
Attending More Than One Session?
Multi–day attendance is a coordination problem more than a driving one. These are the shapes most of our tournament itineraries take.
Multiple sessions across several days are coordinated as one set of reservations with one contact, so the same trip details do not have to be given again for every leg. Send the schedule and we will build it out.

US Open 2026 Transportation FAQs
Do you provide transportation from New Jersey to the US Open?
Yes. We provide chauffeured transportation from across New Jersey to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens. Pickups are available from private residences, offices, hotels and airports throughout Somerset, Morris, Union, Middlesex, Bergen and Hunterdon counties.
Can you pick us up from Basking Ridge for the US Open?
Yes. Basking Ridge is our home base — we operate from 104 Lyons Mall, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920. We provide door–to–door pickup from Basking Ridge and the surrounding Somerset Hills towns for both day and night sessions. See our Basking Ridge service page.
Do you provide transportation from Newark Airport to the US Open?
Yes. Our Newark Liberty (EWR) service includes real–time flight tracking and meet–and–greet at baggage claim with name signage. Airport transportation can be coordinated based on your passenger count, pickup details and luggage requirements so the appropriate vehicle can be reserved. We can route you directly to Flushing or to your hotel first, whichever fits your session.
Can you pick up from JFK or LaGuardia?
Can I reserve a Cadillac Escalade for the US Open?
Yes. The 2025 Cadillac Escalade Platinum SUV seats up to 6 passengers and is one of our premium SUV options for event transportation. Availability during tournament week is finite, so reserve once your session tickets are confirmed.
Do you handle corporate and VIP transportation?
Yes. Our corporate transportation division handles executive travel, client entertainment, hotel transfers, private aviation ground transportation and coordinated multi–vehicle dispatch across multiple sessions, with account billing and a single reservations contact.
Can you transport groups to the US Open?
Yes. Our Mercedes Sprinter Maybach seats up to 14, and larger group transportation vehicles are available where operationally appropriate. One vehicle keeps the whole party on one schedule and one arrival.
How early should I reserve transportation for the US Open?
As soon as your session and travel dates are confirmed. Premium SUVs and Sprinters have finite availability across the NJ–NYC region during major New York events, and the final weekend is the tightest window of the tournament.
Where will my chauffeur meet me after the match?
Your return meeting point is confirmed in writing before event day. Staging arrangements around Flushing Meadows–Corona Park depend on event–day traffic management and venue procedures, so we agree the specific location with you rather than publishing a fixed pickup zone that may not apply to your session.
