Your ride to Islip MacArthur Airport from Quinnipiac University. Reliable Islip MacArthur Airport car service from Quinnipiac University. Premium Black Sedan or SUV, curbside pickup for arrivals, 24/7.
Break weeks are the busiest time for Quinnipiac pickups, especially Thanksgiving and the start of winter break. The nearest train is in New Haven, a 20-minute drive — which is why most Quinnipiac students go straight to the airport by car.
The drive to ISP starts down Route 10 or Whitney Avenue to I-91 and Route 15; after that it's I-95 south to the Throgs Neck Bridge and the Long Island Expressway east (the Bridgeport–Port Jefferson ferry is another option in summer). Door to door it's about 110 mi, usually 2 hr 2 min – 2 hr 25 min, and the place that decides your timing is the Long Island Expressway.
Islip isn't the nearest airport to Quinnipiac University — that's HPN, about 1 hr 10 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. You get one fixed price for Quinnipiac University to ISP before you book, tolls included.
ISP is small, so 75 minutes at the airport usually covers a domestic flight. From Quinnipiac University, book the pickup about 3 hr 45 min before departure.
Islip's lines are short; the drive out on the Expressway is what needs the cushion. On snowy days, holiday weekends and summer Fridays we'll suggest leaving earlier.
The days the dorms close for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks are the busiest of the year for Quinnipiac University pickups — every student needs a ride on the same morning. Book as soon as the flight is booked. A parent can make the booking and get the confirmation and driver details too.
There's one terminal at MacArthur, so pickup and drop-off are simple.
Book the return to Quinnipiac University at the same time; the flight is tracked and waiting time starts only when you land. Islip guide →

There's no station in town — the nearest is New Haven Union Station on the New Haven Line, so the train trip already starts with a drive. From New Haven Union Station, ride the New Haven Line to Grand Central, then the LIRR toward Ronkonkoma (usually changing at Jamaica) and a shuttle to the terminal — a long day.
By car it's one ride from your door: 2 hr 2 min – 2 hr 25 min to ISP. Islip's fares and lines can make the longer drive worth it — and with a car service the extra distance is just more time to sit back.
