MetLife Stadium Car Service: Giants and Jets Game Day Guide for Fall 2026
Football season is in full swing at MetLife Stadium, and the next few weeks are packed. The New York Giants host the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football this week, the Jets host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and both teams have more home games into January, including the Cleveland Browns visiting the Giants on December 20. If you are hosting clients, taking the family or flying in for the game, a private car takes the stress out of the drive into East Rutherford and, just as important, the drive home.
Here is the upcoming home schedule, how the stadium handles car service drop-off and pickup, and how we plan game-day rides from Manhattan, Teterboro, Westchester and the airports.

Where car services drop off and pick up
MetLife Stadium publishes one designated area for taxi and limousine drop-off and pickup: the curb along the roadway between Parking Lots D and E. There is no charge to use it. App rideshare pickups are in a separate area inside Lot E, so if you book with us, you meet your chauffeur at the D and E curb, not in the rideshare zone.
On NFL game days, every vehicle that enters the Sports Complex to park needs a parking permit. A chauffeured car that stays on site needs a pre-paid permit plus an additional fee, must park along a curb rather than in striped spaces, and the driver must stay with the vehicle. If you want your car waiting on site, tell us when you book and we will plan around the stadium's rules for that day.
Getting there from Manhattan
The trip from Midtown to the Meadowlands is short on a map, but game-day traffic at the Lincoln Tunnel and on Route 3 can stretch it out, especially before a Thursday night kickoff when it overlaps with the evening rush. For the Giants on Thursday, plan to leave earlier than you would on a weekend. An hourly booking works well for a dinner before the game: your chauffeur takes you to the restaurant, then the stadium, then home, with no searching for a ride at a crowded curb.
Hosting clients? A Sprinter keeps the whole group together from the office to the game and back, and everyone's coats and bags stay in the vehicle. Read more about choosing point-to-point or hourly corporate car service.
Flying in for the game: Teterboro, Westchester and the airports
Teterboro Airport sits only a few miles from MetLife Stadium, which makes it the natural choice for guests flying private. We track the tail number or flight, meet you at the FBO and drive you straight to the stadium or your hotel. See our guide to Teterboro to Manhattan chauffeur service for how we time jet-side pickups.
We also pick up at Westchester County Airport (HPN), Newark, JFK and LaGuardia. Send us your flight number and our dispatch team adjusts to early arrivals and delays.
Browns fans: Cleveland to MetLife on December 20
When the Browns visit the Giants on Sunday, December 20, Royal Ride covers both ends of the trip. Our Cleveland team gets you to Cleveland Hopkins or your private jet terminal, and our New York team meets you at Teterboro, Newark or LaGuardia and takes you to the stadium. For home games in Cleveland, see our Browns game-day car service guide.
Five tips for an easy MetLife game day
Book ahead. Home games fill the roads around the Meadowlands, so reserve your car early.
Save the New York dispatch number before kickoff. After the game, text or call dispatch so we can have your chauffeur ready at the taxi and limousine curb.
Meet your chauffeur at Lots D and E. That is MetLife's taxi and limousine curb. The Lot E rideshare lot is only for app-based cars, so a booked Royal Ride will not be waiting there.
Stay in touch on the way out. Traffic leaving the Sports Complex backs up after the game. Dispatch will time the pickup with you so you spend less time waiting at the curb or sitting in the exit line.
Share your whole plan, from dinner to the after-party, so one car covers the day.
