Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) to Yale University, downtown New Haven and towns along the Connecticut shoreline.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Tweed-New Haven 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.
Airport transportation in New Haven takes you from Tweed-New Haven Airport to Yale University, downtown hotels around the New Haven Green, Wooster Square and Long Wharf, and on to Hamden, West Haven and shoreline towns such as Branford, Guilford and Milford.
Our New Haven airport transfers start in the arrivals area of Tweed-New Haven Airport, where your driver meets you after baggage claim and walks with you to the car outside. Every Avelo and Breeze flight uses the same terminal, and we track your flight so the pickup follows your real landing time.
Enter your hotel or address in the booking form to see the vehicles available for your route, from sedans and SUVs to minivans for families and groups, priced per vehicle before you pay. Each New Haven airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are heading to a Yale campus building, a hotel on Chapel Street or a beach house in Branford. Unlike waiting for a taxi at the curb, your ride is booked before you land.
Our New Haven airport shuttle is a private minivan or minibus for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases, strollers and sports bags, so it suits families, visiting teams and groups arriving together for Yale events or shoreline weddings.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Tweed-New Haven Airport (HVN) is the airport of New Haven, Connecticut, about 3 miles southeast of downtown, and the main base of Avelo Airlines; Breeze Airways also flies here. Passengers use one small terminal on the west side of the airfield. A new East Terminal is part of the airport's expansion plan, and until it opens every flight uses the current building.
All scheduled flights are domestic, so there is no immigration or customs on arrival. You leave the aircraft by jet bridge or a ground-level ramp, walk a short distance to baggage claim, then continue out to the arrivals area.
New Haven is on Eastern Time, UTC-5, and UTC-4 during daylight saving time.
No passport control at HVN. All flights are domestic, including those from Puerto Rico. International visitors clear US immigration at their first US airport, and Visa Waiver Program travelers need an approved ESTA before flying to the United States.
ID for your return flight. Travelers 18 and older need a REAL ID or another TSA-accepted photo ID for domestic flights.
Rideshare and taxis. Uber and Lyft are authorized at the airport, and M7 Ride taxis wait at Arrivals before each flight.
No street parking. If friends or family meet you, street parking near the airport is prohibited and vehicles are ticketed and towed.
