Airport Transfers
Book a private transfer from JFK to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and beyond. Fixed prices, booked online.
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.
Book a private, pre-arranged ride from JFK to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island or New Jersey. You get one fixed price per vehicle, shown before you pay, with no shared stops and no waiting for other passengers.
Getting from JFK into the city usually means a taxi line, a train connection or a rideshare. A private transfer is the simplest of these: your vehicle is booked ahead, the price is agreed up front, and the driver takes you straight to your address.
Choose a vehicle that fits your party and luggage, enter your destination, and compare the options on the booking form above.
Our JFK airport shuttle is a private vehicle for your group only, not a shared van, so there are no other pick-ups on the way.
The same service covers the return trip, so you can book your ride back to JFK when you book your arrival.
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.

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.
Request them when booking, with the child's age and size. Availability and any fee are confirmed on your reservation.
Give the wheelchair's size, weight and whether it folds, so a suitable vehicle is assigned.

Check your terminal
JFK has five terminals and airlines are moving during construction, so confirm yours before you land.
Customs first
International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection before baggage claim; Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line.
Ignore ride offers
Soliciting rides inside JFK is illegal; use the official taxi stand or your pre-booked driver.
Allow for traffic
Construction around the terminals slows curbside pickups, so allow extra time.
