Why Book a MetLife Stadium Car Service?
Going to the game? Call (862) 246-7778 or book online. Flat-rate rides to Giants and Jets games from New Jersey, NYC and EWR.
Quick Answer: A MetLife Stadium car service takes your group to Giants and Jets games in East Rutherford with a flat rate, a drop-off near the stadium and a pickup at a pre-arranged spot after the game, so you skip the parking lots and the long exit from the Meadowlands. Upcoming home games include October 4, 11, 18 and 25 and November 8. From Newark Airport, the drive is about 20–35 minutes. From Midtown Manhattan, plan 30–60 minutes on game day.
A MetLife Stadium car service is the easiest way to enjoy a Giants or Jets game without the hardest part of game day: getting in and out of the Meadowlands. MetLife holds more than 82,000 fans, and on game day nearly all of them arrive and leave within the same few hours. The game is the fun part. The traffic on Route 3, the parking lots and the hour-long crawl out afterward are not.
A chauffeur changes that. Your group is dropped off near the stadium, everyone can enjoy the tailgate and the game without anyone driving, and your ride is waiting at an agreed spot after the final whistle. For fans flying in, it means going straight from the airport to the game.
As a Newark limo and car service serving New Jersey and the New York metro area, we drive fans to MetLife every home weekend. This guide covers the upcoming schedule, game-day timing, drop-off and pickup, and how to choose the right vehicle.

Why a Car Service Beats Driving to the Meadowlands
Parking takes planning
MetLife’s lots fill on game day, and parking passes are sold in advance. A chauffeur drops you near the stadium, so you don’t need a pass.
The exit takes the longest
After the game, tens of thousands of cars leave the lots at once. Getting back onto Route 3, the Turnpike or the Lincoln Tunnel approach can take an hour or more. Your chauffeur plans the pickup to avoid the worst of it.
No designated driver
Everyone in your group can enjoy the tailgate and the game. No one has to stay sober to drive home.
Late-season comfort
November and December games in the Meadowlands get cold and windy. A warm vehicle waiting after the game makes the trip home far more comfortable.
Game-Day Timing
Typical drive times to MetLife Stadium
On game day, traffic around the Meadowlands builds in the last 90 minutes before kickoff. Typical drive times:
- Newark Liberty International Airport: about 20–35 minutes
- Fort Lee, Englewood and southern Bergen County: about 15–30 minutes
- Hoboken and Jersey City: about 20–35 minutes
- Midtown Manhattan: about 30–60 minutes
- Summit and Westfield: about 35–55 minutes
- Edison and Central Jersey: about 40–60 minutes
- LaGuardia: about 35–60 minutes
- JFK: about 50–80 minutes
Your chauffeur chooses the best route in real time based on game-day traffic.
When to arrive
- Tailgating: arrive 2.5–3 hours before kickoff.
- Straight to your seats: arrive about 90 minutes before kickoff for security and seating.
- 1:00 p.m. games: most tailgating groups from Manhattan and North Jersey leave between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m.
Pick one meeting point
For groups, the easiest plan is one pickup spot, such as a home, a hotel lobby or an office. Several pickups add time on game day.
Drop-Off, Tailgating and the Post-Game Pickup
Drop-off near the stadium
Your chauffeur drops you as close to your entrance as game-day traffic control allows.
Tailgating
Coolers, chairs and supplies ride with you. Lot access and parking rules for tailgating follow the stadium’s game-day policies, and we’ll confirm the plan before the game.
Check the bag policy
MetLife has a strict bag policy. Leave anything that doesn’t meet it in the vehicle. Check current rules on the official MetLife Stadium website.
The post-game pickup
Agree on a meeting point before kickoff. After the game, text your chauffeur, and they’ll move into position while the crowd clears. Waiting 20–30 minutes after the final whistle often means a much faster ride home.
