Getting a family to the Kartrite Resort in Monticello, NY usually means a trunk full of swim bags, strollers and child seats, and children who need a meal and a nap somewhere along the way. Our Kartrite Resort private transportation takes families and groups from home or from the airport to the entrance of The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark in one vehicle sized for the people and the luggage. You pick the departure hour; we plan the route, any stops and the pickup on checkout day.
The resort stands on Resorts World Drive in Monticello, in the Town of Thompson, right beside the Resorts World Catskills casino, a few minutes off Route 17. From New York City and northern New Jersey the route follows Route 17 north through Orange County into the Catskills; from Westchester and Dutchess, I-84 brings you across the Hudson to meet it. Either way it is long enough that young children will want a break.
Tell us at booking where you want to stop, for lunch, a diaper change or a playground, so it is part of the plan; stops not arranged in advance cost extra unless the booking is hourly. For the return, reserve a separate one-way transfer with a set time at the entrance, so you are not paying for a chauffeur to wait through your stay.
Count heads first, then bags, and size up when in doubt. A couple or a parent with one child fits in the Lincoln Aviator, which takes 3 travelers and their luggage. Families of four to six belong in the Chevrolet Suburban. Two families sharing the weekend, or any party of up to 14 with bags, can travel together in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Child seats and boosters are added to the reservation for an extra charge; list each child’s age so we bring the right sizes.
The closest airport we serve is Stewart International in New Windsor, an easy run up I-84 and Route 17. Families landing at the New York airports have a longer haul: from Monticello it is roughly 2 hours 23 minutes to JFK, 1 hour 57 minutes to LaGuardia and 1 hour 42 minutes to Newark Liberty on a weekday morning.
Unless you ask otherwise, the pickup is curbside. Once the plane is down, your phone receives the chauffeur’s name and number; when the stroller and car seats are off the carousel, call, and 5 to 10 minutes later the vehicle is at the door. With small children and a pile of bags, the chauffeur can instead meet you inside the terminal holding a name sign, for an added fee. Flights are tracked, and waiting stays free for 30 minutes past a domestic landing and 60 past an international one.
For a birthday party, a multi-family weekend, a school or club outing or a corporate retreat, we time the arrival so everyone walks into the lobby together instead of trickling in from separate cars. When guests start from different towns, our group transportation planners can schedule several vehicles to reach the entrance at the same hour, and send them back down Route 17 together after checkout.
If you searched for a Kartrite shuttle, private Kartrite car service works a little differently: you reserve a vehicle for your own family or group at the time you choose, rather than following a fixed timetable.
Adults who want dinner or a show can cross over to Resorts World Catskills next door. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, on the site of the original Woodstock festival, has a museum and summer concerts a little farther west. Families stretching the getaway can add LEGOLAND New York in Goshen on the way home. Heading to a rental in the village of Monticello or elsewhere in Sullivan County after checkout? We take you straight there from the resort.
The indoor waterpark is part of the resort itself, at 555 Resorts World Drive in Monticello. The chauffeur pulls up at the main entrance, so the children can head straight in while you check in.
Yes. Give us both pickup points when you book, and the chauffeur stops at each before heading out. The two properties share the same road, so this adds little time, and a planned stop is priced into the fare.
Choose your leaving time when you book and have everyone and the luggage outside the entrance by then. If plans change on the day, phone dispatch as early as possible so we can try to move the pickup; if you cannot see the chauffeur at the booked time, call right away so it is not treated as a no-show.
Use the quote request form with your check-in and checkout days, the number of adults and children, any child seats and roughly how much luggage you are bringing; we will reply with a vehicle and a price for both legs. Questions about a group or an airport arrival can go to (877) 811-8400 or majestic@mtslimousine.com.
