Private transportation from JFK Airport

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from John F. Kennedy International Airport 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.

JFK Airport Transfers

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.

JFK Airport Shuttle

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.
