Merrick Car Service and Limo Rentals
Merrick counted 22,040 residents in the 2020 Census and has a single ZIP code, 11566. The hamlet has its own stop on the LIRR Babylon Branch, and three roads do most of the work: Sunrise Highway (NY 27), Merrick Road and the Meadowbrook State Parkway, which has two Merrick exits, M8 at Sunrise Highway and M9 at Merrick Road. TV fans may know Margaret Boulevard: two houses on that street were used for exterior shots of Everybody Loves Raymond.
Most Merrick limo service and car service bookings fall into five groups:
- Airport car service to JFK, LaGuardia, MacArthur and Newark, plus point-to-point rides into Manhattan.
- Calhoun prom night and other spring formals.
- Shows at Jones Beach, roughly 5 miles away in a straight line.
- Winery days on the North Fork and South Fork, with the same chauffeur all day.
- Weddings, birthdays and nights out, in anything from a sedan to a 52-seat coach.
Sedans and SUVs can take the Meadowbrook, but our buses can’t, because most Long Island parkways are closed to them. Group trips leave Merrick on Sunrise Highway, Merrick Road and the expressways instead, and we set the pickup time around that route.

Each fare in the table is a one-way, all-in price. The base fare, the 22% booking fee, the 15% fuel charge, the $19.50 insurance charge and 8.63% sales tax are already counted, so the total you see online is the total you pay.

Heading into the city instead? A sedan from Merrick to Grand Central Terminal is $153.39 for about 32 miles. The other way to reach JFK is the LIRR: board at Merrick station on the Babylon Branch, ride to Jamaica and switch to the AirTrain for the terminals. That works when you pack light. With a family’s worth of luggage, a car that waits at your curb and drops you at your terminal is far less hassle.

Long Island Winery Limos From Merrick
Wine country makes for a long day from the South Shore, which is why most groups book a vehicle by the hour and keep it until the last tasting room. A Sprinter limo or a shuttle van suits 10 to 13 friends; bigger birthday crowds take a bus. Plan your stops with our North Fork wine tours, South Fork wine tours or brewery tour pages.
Sanford H. Calhoun High School Prom Limos
High schoolers in Merrick attend Sanford H. Calhoun High School at 1786 State Street, part of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District; younger kids are in the Merrick or North Merrick districts. Calhoun groups tend to choose the Sprinter limo, the Escalade stretch or the party bus. Here is what every prom booking includes for parents:
- A single written quote that lists each pickup address, every photo stop and the final drop-off time.
- A fixed price agreed ahead of prom night, with nothing tacked on at the end.
- A dispatch line staffed around the clock, so you can check in at midnight or 2 a.m.
Spring Saturdays fill early, so reserve as soon as the date is announced. Our Merrick prom limo, Merrick prom party bus and Long Island prom pages have more detail.
Wedding Transportation in Merrick
A wedding usually calls for two vehicles: a stretch for the couple and something roomier for the wedding party. The white Escalade stretch holds up to 18, the black Lincoln MKT stretch holds 7, and our 18- and 22-passenger executive buses move guests between the ceremony and the reception. Merrick couples hire us for receptions such as Jericho Terrace, Vienna of Roslyn and the Heritage Club at Bethpage, and for Manhattan hotels like The Plaza. Start with our wedding limousine page.

How much should I tip a chauffeur for an airport pickup?
The usual US guideline is 15 to 20 percent of the base fare. Keep in mind that our online airport prices already include a 22% booking fee, so ask our team whether a separate tip is expected on your booking before you add one. For the JFK run from Merrick, the sedan price is $129.67 all-in.
