How a JFK Pickup Works
Book online with your flight number and Manhattan address, or phone dispatch.
Tick the extras: Meet & Greet, child seats or a larger vehicle.
In advance, a message gives you your chauffeur's name, number and car.
When you land, the chauffeur meets you and drives into the city.
JFK to Manhattan Questions
How long is the drive from JFK Airport to Manhattan?
In normal traffic the drive takes about 45 to 75 minutes, depending on the neighborhood. Weekday rush hour, Friday evenings and holiday travel can stretch it beyond 100 minutes.
How much is a black car from JFK to Manhattan?
The fare is a flat rate quoted when you book, and tolls are included. It varies with your Manhattan address, the vehicle and the hour, and it does not change if the traffic does.
Which route does the car take from JFK to Manhattan?
The chauffeur normally uses the Van Wyck Expressway or the Belt Parkway, then the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, the Queensboro Bridge or the Brooklyn routes into Lower Manhattan. The choice depends on traffic that day.
Is there a flat rate, or does the price change with the meter?
The price is a fixed quote, not a meter. You agree on it before the trip, so a slow Expressway or a long customs line will not change what you pay.
Will you know if my JFK flight lands early or late?
Yes. Give us your flight number and we follow the live arrival, so the pickup moves with the real landing. A delay does not add to your fare.
What happens after I land?
The chauffeur is waiting at the agreed point, with a name sign if you chose Meet & Greet at $25. Waiting costs nothing for the first 45 minutes after a domestic landing, or the first hour after an international one.
Which Manhattan neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them, from the Financial District and Tribeca through the Village, Chelsea and Midtown to the Upper East and West Sides and Harlem.
Can I still change or cancel my JFK ride?
A JFK pickup is within the city, so edits to the booking are open until 4 hours before the car arrives. No fee applies if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead.
