Taxis

There are almost always cabs waiting at the station to take you where you need to go (flat rates are $6 during the day to any point in Peekskill; $7 in the evening). If you don’t see a taxi, you can call one at one of the numbers listed in our taxi directory. Note: Local taxi drivers may be dropping someone off in another town or even driving to the city. Don’t be daunted if you need to dial a couple of numbers before you reach someone. Many of these taxi companies will also pick you up from New York metropolitan area airports.
