New York to Rhode Island — Providence, Newport and the coastal towns — is a scenic 180-mile run best enjoyed from the back seat. Whether it is a Brown or RISD family weekend, a Newport wedding or a summer escape, a chauffeured car spares you the drive and the impossible Newport parking.
The route and the timing
The route is I-95 north through Connecticut, the same shoreline you would take toward Boston, branching toward Providence and on to Newport. The Connecticut stretch is the main variable; plan 3h 15m to 4h. Newport in particular rewards arriving by car, with a chauffeur to handle the bridges and the summer crush.
Rhode Island trips pair naturally with our event and wedding services for Newport celebrations, and many begin with a flight met at JFK. The Cadillac Escalade handles luggage and small groups; larger parties take a Sprinter van.
Comfort for the whole distance.
