Highland, NY

Located on the western bank of the Hudson River in Ulster County, Highland is a charming, scenic hamlet within the town of Lloyd. It offers a perfect blend of small-town suburban life and outdoor recreation.

• The Hub of Connectivity: Highland sits right at the western base of the Mid-Hudson Bridge , directly across the river from the city of Poughkeepsie (which provides easy Metro-North and Amtrak rail access to New York City).
• Outdoor Highlights: It is famously known as the western gateway to the Walkway Over the Hudson —the world's longest elevated pedestrian bridge. The Hudson Valley Rail Trail also runs right through the town, making it a favorite spot for walkers, runners, and cyclists.
• The Vibe: The area features a historic downtown with local eateries, bars, and coffee shops, surrounded by beautiful apple orchards and vineyards that define the region's agricultural charm.

Using iCar Taxi Service in Highland

iCar Taxi Service is a regional private transportation and shuttle provider operating across the New York and New Jersey metro areas, including extensions into the Hudson Valley and popular upstate destinations (like Legoland in Goshen).

Using them to get around Highland or navigate the surrounding region offers several distinct advantages:

1. Fleet Variety for Group Travel

Unlike standard rideshares where getting a larger vehicle can be a gamble, iCar maintains a structured fleet that can be booked based on your exact needs:

• Standard Sedans: Best for 1–3 passengers handling quick local trips or a ride across the bridge to the Poughkeepsie train station.
• XL Minivans & Big Vans: Ranging from 6 up to 14-passenger capacities, these are ideal if you are visiting the local wineries, heading to the Walkway Over the Hudson with a large family, or traveling with heavy luggage/recreational gear.

2. Reliable Regional and Airport Connections

Highland is relatively rural, meaning standard Uber or Lyft drivers can sometimes be sparse, especially during off-peak hours or for long-distance trips. iCar specializes in pre-arranged, 24-hour long-distance transport, making them highly reliable for:

• Trips to major NYC airports (JFK, LGA, Newark).
• Late-night pickups from the Poughkeepsie train station back to your home or hotel in Highland.
• Day trips to nearby Catskill attractions or lower Hudson Valley spots.
