Cortlandt Taxi — Two Villages, Six Hamlets, Fifty Square Miles
Cortlandt is a town of 42,545 people covering 50.02 square miles at the north-western corner of Westchester, of which only 39.26 square miles are land. The rest is river and reservoir. Its western edge is the Hudson and the city of Peekskill; Philipstown and Putnam Valley sit above it across the county line, Yorktown lies east, and New Castle and Ossining close it off to the south.
Inside that boundary sit two incorporated villages with halls of their own, Croton-on-Hudson and Buchanan, and a row of hamlets with names and postcodes but no government: Montrose, Verplanck, Crugers, Mount Airy, part of Crompond, and Cortlandt Manor. Verplanck holds 1,535 people on eight-tenths of a square mile of peninsula in the far north-west; Crugers, 10521, counts 1,627 on ground that is nearly half water.
So a Cortlandt taxi booking covers more ground than most of the county, from riverfront streets a hundred yards off the tide to wooded lanes above the New Croton Reservoir. What matters on the call is not the town name, which everybody here shares, but which part of it you are standing in.
The parts have boards of their own carrying the same figures: Croton on Hudson taxi and Buchanan taxi for the villages, Montrose taxi and Cortlandt Manor taxi for the hamlets either side of Route 9A, and Peekskill taxi for the city the town wraps around. The county in full is the Westchester taxi page, and the same journey arranged in advance runs as Cortlandt car service.
You are in the car park under the spillway on Route 129 and the driver is on the far rim of the gorge, looking down at you.
The road along the crest of the New Croton Dam has been shut to everything but walkers and emergency vehicles since the autumn of 2001, and it never reopened. It still looks like a link between the two sides of the gorge and it is not one. Croton Gorge Park, ninety-seven acres at 35 Yorktown Road on Route 129, has one entrance and one lot; the rim above is reached from a different set of roads entirely. A car on the wrong side is two hundred yards away and a long drive round the water, and nothing passes a barrier to be flagged down.
We settle the side before the car leaves: the lot at the foot of the spillway on Route 129, the lane on the rim, or the aqueduct path gate. The Cortlandt taxi is given that rather than the name of the dam, and a text goes out as the driver turns off 129 so you know where to look.
Two Metro-North Stations Inside One Town
Cortlandt owns two stops on the Hudson Line. Cortlandt station stands at the Montrose end of the town; Croton-Harmon sits inside the village of Croton-on-Hudson. Same railway, six miles apart, very different services — so a Cortlandt taxi is asked which one before anything else. The near platform and a train that only calls at the far one costs you the morning.
Croton-Harmon — the Fast End of the Line
Croton-Harmon is where the express services turn round and the long-distance trains keep going. It has the big lots, the yard behind it, the shortest run into Grand Central of anything in the town — and the longest permit queue, which is the usual reason a household books a standing weekday Cortlandt taxi rather than a second car.
Naming the Platform, Not the Town
Give the dispatcher the station and the service number rather than a time you have worked out backwards. A Cortlandt taxi set against a numbered train is at the right entrance when the doors release, and a late railway moves the collection without moving the fare.
Cortlandt Taxi — 24 Hours, Holidays Included
The Cortlandt taxi line is answered at three in the morning in the same voice it has at three in the afternoon. Nights up here have a shape: departures for the Queens fields long before light, clinic runs down county at hours no bus keeps, and last trains met at Croton-Harmon by people who would rather not leave a car in a lot overnight.
None of it is priced differently. A run on New Year’s morning bills at the ordinary Tuesday figure, because no night rate was ever loaded on to be waived later. Booking ahead buys the car, not a discount — between six and eight on a school-day morning the car is the scarce thing. A weekly standing Cortlandt taxi slot settles that for good.
Cortlandt Taxi — From the Call to the Kerb
- 1Placed, not guessedCross street, destination, time and heads. Name the school or the corner and the house is pinned before the call ends.
- 2Quoted while you waitThe number comes out on the phone, whole, rather than an estimate that firms up later.
- 3Repeated in writingTime, address and price arrive by text, so the arrangement lives somewhere other than your memory.
- 4Owned by a driverConfirmation lands once a named person has taken the job, not when it has been broadcast at a screen.
- 5Followed liveA map link, which earns its keep on the parkway, where a car that looks near is behind a queue.
- 6A text at the doorYou hear from us the moment it pulls up. The pin stays saved, so the next Cortlandt taxi booking takes thirty seconds.
Two questions decide the car, both asked at the start: how many people, and how many cases. Swapping a Cortlandt taxi afterwards means a second vehicle from wherever the last job finished, and on a town this wide that is rarely round the corner.
What arrives unless you say otherwise. Plenty for a station drop, or a couple with one case each and a terminal to reach.
Higher to climb into, and the one to name when there are steps at the door or a folding chair to stow.
A full house on one booking, a team travelling together, or an evening out that comes home as one group.

Cortlandt Taxi to Five Airports — Quoted Before You Agree
Five fields, five fixed figures, the same figure coming back. From this corner of the county each is a real journey rather than a hop, which is why the number is settled first and why nothing is added at the kerb for traffic, weather or the hour.
Seventy dollars below the LaGuardia figure, and the only one of the five that stays inside the county the whole way. Across the middle of Westchester and down — much the calmest of them at five in the morning.
The length of the county southbound, by the Taconic or the Saw Mill depending on the hour. Most are arranged the night before, for something leaving in the dark.
Ten dollars above LaGuardia and ten below Newark. A late landing here is routine rather than a problem: the collection follows the aircraft in, and nothing is charged for the hours spent over the Atlantic.
Across the Mario Cuomo bridge and down the western bank, the longest of the five from here and the dearest. Bridge and turnpike money is inside the figure before you are told it.
Teterboro comes out at $180 from Cortlandt, level with LaGuardia to the dollar, and a Cortlandt taxi is booked there against the fixed-base operator by name rather than a terminal. Every town in the county is set out field by field on the airport taxi rates page.

Cortlandt Taxi — Quick Answers
How do I book a Cortlandt taxi?
Call 914-564-7013 and tell the person who answers where in the town you are, where you are going and when. The figure comes back on that call and again by text. Nothing is installed and no card is stored.
What does the ride cost to each airport?
$110 to Westchester County, $180 to LaGuardia, $190 to Kennedy, $200 to Newark Liberty, $180 to Teterboro. Flat, tolls in, identical both directions, the same at any hour of any day.
How do I pay, and does a card cost more?
Cash, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App or a check all settle at exactly the figure you were quoted. A credit or debit card carries a flat $10 service charge for processing — $10 whether the run is the $110 one or the $200 one. Say how you intend to pay when you book and the total is closed there and then.
Which station will the car take me to?
Whichever you name. Croton-Harmon and Cortlandt are both inside the town, six miles apart, and they do not serve the same trains, so we ask rather than assume.
Do you fit car seats?
There is never a charge for them. Give us the ages and the number when you book, and the seats go in at the depot — nothing has to be wrestled into place at the kerb while you stand about with the bags.
What happens if the flight lands late?
The arrival is watched and the collection moves with it. A delay costs nothing: the fare agreed is the fare paid, no waiting charge is added, and there is no need to call from the carousel to reconfirm.
Can you collect from Croton Gorge Park or the reservoir roads?
Yes, and it is worth being exact about the side. The lot at the foot of the spillway on Route 129 is one address; the lanes on the rim above are reached another way, with no vehicle route between them. Name the gate and the driver comes to it.
Is the price different at four in the morning?
No. There is no night rate, no weekend rate and no holiday rate on this board, so nothing is waiting to be added at the hours when a ride is hardest to find. The pre-dawn slot is quoted off the same five figures as every other slot.
