EOSapril11 Posted February 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Does anyone have any recommendations for 8 passengers plus luggage from Suffolk County to Manhattan Cruise terminal? Our family of 5 usually drives our mini van and parks, but we are taking 3 other family members/friends and will not fit in our minivan. I don't think we would even fit in an Escalade or other large private SUV. Is there a larger bus/van type to look for? Any company recommendations?

Rare mking8288 Posted February 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Check with Dial 7 but I looked up quick on our Carmel App, from ISP Airport out on the island to MCT on a typical Saturday morning - book in advance & reconfirm, they offer a large/full-size van, it wil easily handle 8 to 10 passengers, plus 8 pc. of checked luggage - hand/smaller hand luggage that can stack should be fine - for $270 one-way, plus toll (nominal surcharge for congestion included already) of $8.50 - tips not included. Uber's XLT i.e. those Suburb will definitely NOT be anywhere near adequate for those 8 pc. of luggage plus passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted February 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Make sure to price out two vehicles, I’ve found that is a cheaper option for our family of 7 from NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted February 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Have you considered LIRR then Uber to port? On a weekend especially it could be very cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted February 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Excellent point on pricing out 2 vehicles; unless everyone "must" sit & ride together in one vehicle - split up to 4 & 4, or maybe 3 and 5, a minivan can yield extra & plentiful space with the 3rd row seats not used. The amount of luggage taken is probably the key determining factors ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to call them for a quote if you live close to Nassau County.The company is Affordable Car and Limo Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EOSapril11 Posted February 10, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thank you all!....never thought of getting quote for 2 cars. Will check that out. LIRR is not an option. We will be traveling during the week and it will be way too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
