Car Service from NYC to Mohegan Sun

Mohegan Sun is close enough for a day trip and far enough that nobody wants to drive home after a late show. A private car service from NYC to Mohegan Sun takes the drive, the parking and the 2 a.m. return off your plate, so your night ends with the encore or the jackpot, not three hours behind the wheel.

This guide covers drive times from every borough, routes, round-trip options, vehicles, costs and planning tips for trips from New York City to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, and nearby Foxwoods.

How Long Does a Car Service from NYC to Mohegan Sun Take?

The drive from Manhattan to Mohegan Sun is about 125 miles and usually takes 2.5 to 3.25 hours, depending mostly on traffic through Fairfield County. Weekday mornings are usually the smoothest; Friday afternoons and holiday weekends are the slowest.

Typical drive times outside heavy traffic (estimates):

•       Manhattan: about 2.5 to 3 hours.
•       The Bronx and Westchester: about 2 to 2.5 hours.
•       Brooklyn and Queens (including Flushing): about 2.75 to 3.25 hours. See our Brooklyn limo service and Queens car service.
•       Long Island: about 2.75 to 3.5 hours via the Throgs Neck Bridge. See our Long Island car service.

The route: I-95 North through Stamford, New Haven and New London, then I-395 North to the Mohegan Sun exit. Most chauffeurs avoid the Stamford stretch at rush hour and leave Fridays either before early afternoon or after 8 p.m.

Car Service vs. Amtrak, Casino Buses or Driving Yourself

A private car is the only option that is door to door with no transfers. Here is how the choices compare:

•       Amtrak: about 3 hours to New London, which is roughly 12 miles from Mohegan Sun, then a local bus or taxi. Door to door, it often takes close to 4 hours.
•       Casino buses: inexpensive, but fixed pickup points, fixed departure times and shared seating.
•       Driving yourself: parking is free, but someone has to stay sober and alert for a 2.5-hour drive home after midnight.
•       Private car service: pickup at your door, your own schedule, room for luggage and shopping, and a professional chauffeur for the ride home.

For groups of four or more, a private SUV or Sprinter often costs about the same per person as train tickets plus taxis, without any transfers. It also means one booking, one pickup time and no one left behind at the station.

Which Trip Option Is Right for You?

•       One-way: for hotel stays at the Earth or Sky Tower. We drop you off and pick you up on your checkout day.
•       Round trip with wait time: your chauffeur waits nearby during your visit and pulls up when you call. This is the most popular option for day trips.
•       Round trip with a set return: we drop you off and return at an agreed time.
•       Two-casino trip: visit Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods in one day; they are about 10 minutes apart.

Mohegan Sun Arena Transportation for Concerts and Events

Mohegan Sun Arena hosts concerts, comedy, boxing and basketball, and big shows bring heavy traffic before and after. For Mohegan Sun Arena transportation:

•       Arrive 60 to 90 minutes early for dinner, check-in or security lines.
•       Book a set pickup 30 to 45 minutes after the show, when exit traffic eases.
•       Agree on a meeting point at the main casino entrance rather than the arena doors.
•       Late shows: expect to be home around 2 a.m.; the chauffeur handles the drive while you rest.

Car Service to Foxwoods from NYC

Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket is about 10 minutes east of Mohegan Sun, so many groups visit both. A car service to Foxwoods from NYC follows the same I-95 route and continues on Route 2. Ask us to include both resorts in one itinerary for lunch at one and the evening at the other.

Which Vehicle Is Best for a Mohegan Sun Trip?

•       SUV (up to [6]): small groups, families and luggage for overnight stays.
•       Mercedes Sprinter (up to [14]): birthday trips, bachelor and bachelorette parties and office outings. See our Sprinter van with driver.
•       Limo bus (15 to 30): big celebrations where the party starts on the highway. See our 15-passenger limo bus and limo bus rental prices.

For an NYC to Mohegan Sun limo with a stretch or SUV limo, plan on fewer guests than the rated capacity for a 2.5-hour ride. See how many people fit in a limo and compare vehicles on our fleet page.
