Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from JFK Airport in Queens to hotels, apartments and homes in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Long Island and Westchester, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in JFK picks you up at Terminal 1, 4, 5, 7 or 8 and takes you to hotels and apartments in Midtown, Downtown and the Upper East and West Sides of Manhattan, to homes and offices across Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, and out to Long Island and Westchester.
JFK airport transfers start at the terminal where your flight lands: each of JFK's five terminals has its own arrivals hall, and your driver meets you at yours after customs and baggage claim. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and you choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to an SUV or van for a family or group with luggage.
Each JFK airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or office in Manhattan, to a home in Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx, out to Long Island or Westchester, or across to LaGuardia or Newark for a connecting flight. Going on to the Hamptons? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our JFK airport shuttle is a private car or van for your party only, not a shared van that tours several Manhattan hotels before yours. It leaves as soon as you are through arrivals at your terminal, with room for suitcases and strollers, and suits families, business travelers heading into Midtown and groups landing on the same long-haul flight.
Prices depend on the destination, the vehicle category, its passenger capacity, and whether you book one way or round trip. The price the booking system gives for your route and travel date is your final quote.
All prices in USD, per vehicle rather than per passenger. Last updated 2026-10-03.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), also called Kennedy Airport, is the main international airport of New York City. It sits in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, on the edge of Jamaica Bay, and is run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Five passenger terminals are in use, 1, 4, 5, 7 and 8, each with its own arrivals hall and baggage claim. The New Terminal One, whose first phase is expected in early 2027, and a new Terminal 6 are under construction, so airlines are moving between terminals and curbside pickup areas can shift.
If you fly in from abroad, you clear US Customs and Border Protection before baggage claim; Global Entry and Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line. New York is on Eastern Time and switches to daylight saving time from March to November.
US entry before you board. Visitors need a valid passport and, depending on nationality, a US visa or an approved ESTA before the flight; immigration and customs checks happen at JFK on arrival.
Terminals are changing. Airlines are moving between terminals while the new ones are built, so check your terminal again before you land and give your airline when you book.
No ride offers. Soliciting rides inside JFK's terminals is illegal. Walk past anyone offering one and meet only your pre-booked driver or use the official taxi stand.

We monitor the arrival of the flight on your reservation, but can't find you on a different one. Tell customer service if any of these change:
About one checked suitcase and one carry-on each; the right vehicle depends on the total volume. Tell us about golf clubs, surfboards, bikes, strollers or extra bags.

At the terminal your flight arrives at, after customs and baggage claim. Each of JFK's five terminals has its own arrivals hall, so check yours before you land; your confirmation names the meeting point.
Yes. JFK, Kennedy Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport are the same airport in Queens; it was called Idlewild until 1963. LaGuardia (LGA) and Newark (EWR) are separate airports, so check the code on your ticket.
Delta flies from Terminal 4, JetBlue from Terminal 5 and American Airlines from Terminal 8, with partners such as British Airways and Iberia. Many European and Asian airlines use Terminal 1 or Terminal 4. Airlines are moving while new terminals are built, so check your boarding pass and give your flight number when you book.
JFK is in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, about 16 miles (26 km) southeast of Midtown Manhattan. The drive follows the Van Wyck Expressway, and traffic sets the trip time; it is heaviest at rush hours.
Yes. We drive door to door to homes, hotels and offices across Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Give the full address and any building entrance details when you book.
Yes. We drive to homes and hotels on Long Island, east of the airport, and in Westchester County, north of the city. Give the full address when you book.

Yes. We drive between New York's airports for a connecting flight. Book the ride from JFK with your arriving flight number and give your departing flight and terminal at the other airport, so the pickup leaves time for check-in.

Yes, with a change. The AirTrain runs from every terminal to Jamaica, for the subway and the Long Island Rail Road, and to Howard Beach for the A train. A private transfer is easier with luggage, with children or for addresses away from the stations.
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver at JFK waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.
