JFK airport car service sits on the Van Wyck, not a secret back road
John F. Kennedy International Airport is in Queens. The usual Manhattan approach uses the Van Wyck Expressway to the airport loop. A Midtown hotel, a Financial District building, and an Upper East Side address do not share one curb, so the $170 sedan Manhattan flat still needs a real pickup or drop-off street. Published planning time on this page is 45-90 minutes. That is a window, not a promise.
JFK has multiple passenger terminals. Put the terminal in the reservation when you know it. A Terminal 4 international arrival and a Terminal 8 domestic arrival are not interchangeable meeting points. Name airline, flight number, and terminal on the booking form.
Groups and luggage change the vehicle, not the airport. The Mercedes E-Class is listed for 3 passengers and 3 bags. The Escalade is listed for 6 and 6. Confirm the assigned Sprinter seating and luggage capacity. JFK Sprinter Manhattan is $700. Details are on the fleet page.
LGA airport car service is the short commercial hop, still traffic
LaGuardia Airport is listed at 8 miles from Manhattan with a 25-50 minute planning window. The Grand Central Parkway and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway are the named roads most drivers use. Closer does not mean empty. A 33.5 million passenger airport in 2024 still stacks cars at peak banks.
LGA ↔ Manhattan sedan is $150, the lowest commercial-airport sedan flat on the table. SUV is $160. Sprinter is $600. If you are continuing from LaGuardia to a Brooklyn meeting then back to Midtown, stop using the one-way row and switch to hourly charter at $120/$150/$175/$200 depending on vehicle.
Marine Air Terminal and the newer central terminal complex are different curbs. Write the terminal if the airline confirmation shows one. For service types beyond airport work, use the services page.
EWR airport car service is a Hudson River crossing, then the New Jersey Turnpike
Newark Liberty International Airport is listed at 16 miles from Manhattan with a 40-75 minute window. The Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, and George Washington Bridge are the Manhattan crossings that feed it. Which crossing you use depends on the Manhattan origin, not on a slogan.
EWR Manhattan sedan and JFK Manhattan sedan share the same $170 published sedan figure. Sprinter is $700 at both. That does not mean the drives are identical. Newark is a New Jersey commercial hub with 48.9 million passengers in the Port Authority 2024 count. Tolls and tunnel delays are why a reserved class is useful even when the flat is already on the rate table.
Terminals A, B, and C are separate. If a passenger is arriving internationally, say so on the reservation because arrivals timing is not the same as a domestic Newark hop. This page does not invent wait-time minutes beyond what you confirm in the quote.
TEB and HPN are on the table because New York trips use them
Teterboro Airport is a general-aviation field in New Jersey, not one of the Port Authority commercial passenger totals above. It is still a common New York chauffeur destination for private and corporate aircraft. TEB ↔ Manhattan sedan is $130, SUV $160, Sprinter $600. Planning window on this page is 30-50 minutes over a listed 12 miles.
Westchester County Airport (HPN) is listed at 33 miles from Manhattan with a 45-75 minute window. Sedan $130, SUV $165, Sprinter $650. I-95, the Hutchinson River Parkway, and the Cross Bronx Expressway are the named roads people actually argue about on that drive. A Greenwich or White Plains drop-off is not the Manhattan row. Use the point-to-point starting prices when Manhattan is not one end of the trip.
Stewart International (SWF) appears in Port Authority commercial totals at 277,000 passengers in 2024. This site does not publish an SWF Manhattan flat on the rate table. If you need Stewart, request a custom quote on the Stewart car service page rather than forcing a JFK or HPN number onto it.
Airport chauffeur versus rideshare, without invented competitor fares
| Topic | This chauffeur service | On-demand airport ride |
|---|---|---|
| JFK Manhattan sedan | $170 published | Not published here |
| Vehicle class | Chosen before travel | Assigned at request time |
| Flight fields | Collected on /book or by phone | Depends on the app |
| After landing | Pre-reserved car, terminal named by you | Request a car when you reach the curb |
Peak banks at JFK, LGA, and EWR are exactly when live fares move. This page keeps the comparison on booking method and on the dollars this company actually prints.
How to book an airport transfer
- Open the reservation page or call (929) 205-4788.
- Name the airport code: JFK, LGA, EWR, TEB, or HPN.
- Add terminal, airline, and flight number when you have them.
- Give the Manhattan or other address, passenger count, and bags so the vehicle class fits.
- If the chauffeur is staying after the airport, say hourly instead of one-way.

Which airport is closest to Manhattan?
LaGuardia is the closest commercial airport on this page, listed at 8 miles from Manhattan. Teterboro is listed at 12 miles and is a private-aviation field, not a Port Authority commercial airport.
Should I book hourly or an airport flat?
Book the airport table for a one-way between Manhattan and JFK, LGA, EWR, TEB, or HPN. Book hourly if the chauffeur is staying for meetings or extra stops. Sedan hourly is $120 with a 3-hour minimum ($360).
Where do I enter flight details?
Put airline and flight number in the reservation at /book or give them by phone at (929) 205-4788. This page does not invent a terminal meeting script beyond asking you to name the airport and terminal when you know it.
Are drive times guaranteed?
No. The minute ranges on this page are planning windows already published for each airport. Van Wyck, Grand Central Parkway, Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, and I-95 traffic can land outside those windows.
Terminals, curbs, and what to put on the reservation
JFK passenger terminals in common use include Terminal 1, Terminal 4, Terminal 5, Terminal 7, and Terminal 8. They do not share one inner curb. If the ticket says Terminal 4, write Terminal 4. If it says Terminal 8, write Terminal 8. The $170 sedan Manhattan flat does not change because the terminal number changed. The meeting point does.
LaGuardia rebuilt its central terminal complex and still uses separate Marine Air Terminal operations for some flights. A passenger who says "LaGuardia" without a terminal leaves the chauffeur guessing between curbs. The $150 sedan Manhattan flat is the price row. The terminal field is how the car is aimed.
Newark Liberty uses Terminals A, B, and C. An international arrival in one terminal and a domestic hop in another are different walks. The $170 sedan Manhattan flat is still the published one-way. Add the terminal letter. If you do not know it yet, add the airline and flight number so the reservation can be updated later.
Teterboro is organized around FBOs rather than JFK-style numbered jet terminals. Write the FBO name if the trip sheet has one. Westchester County Airport likewise needs the commercial terminal versus a private-aviation meeting point. TEB sedan $130 and HPN sedan $130 are Manhattan pairs. They are not White Plains office, Greenwich home, or Midtown-plus- wait products.
Bags decide class as much as people do. Three passengers with six large suitcases do not fit the E-Class bag count of 3. That trip is an Escalade or Sprinter even if the headcount is small. Escalade JFK Manhattan is $160. Sprinter JFK Manhattan is $700. Hourly Escalade is $150 with a $450 three-hour floor. Hourly Sprinter starts at $200 with a $600 three-hour floor. Your final price is confirmed in the booking form and can vary with taxes, tolls and availability.
Early banks and late banks at JFK, LGA, and EWR stack the same named roads: Van Wyck, Grand Central Parkway, Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, New Jersey Turnpike. The planning windows on this page (JFK 45-90 minutes, LGA 25-50, EWR 40-75, TEB 30-50, HPN 45-75) already include that spread. They still are not a contract for a specific minute.
Manhattan neighborhood origin still changes the Newark crossing even when the EWR sedan flat is $170. Hudson Yards and Hell's Kitchen sit closer to the Lincoln Tunnel. The Financial District and Battery Park City often point at the Holland Tunnel. Upper Manhattan can point at the George Washington Bridge. The published price does not pick the crossing for you. The pickup pin does.
A family of five with airport luggage is an Escalade job (6 passengers, 6 bags, hourly $150, JFK Manhattan SUV $160). Eight colleagues is a Sprinter job (confirm capacity, hourly $200, JFK Manhattan Sprinter $700). Two adults with two carry-ons is an E-Class job (3/3, hourly $120, JFK Manhattan sedan $170). Do not copy an hourly floor onto a one-way, and do not copy a Manhattan flat onto a Brooklyn or Hoboken pin.
Stewart International appears in the Port Authority commercial total at 277,000 passengers in 2024. This site does not publish an SWF Manhattan flat. Request a custom quote. Same rule for a Greenwich house to Teterboro or a Montauk house to JFK: the published Manhattan rows are the wrong product.
Book your airport transfer
JFK, LGA, EWR, TEB, and HPN from the published Manhattan table. Call (929) 205-4788.
Book nowWhat to put on an airport reservation besides the code
Date, local pickup time or flight number, passenger count, bags, vehicle class, and both addresses. For JFK add the terminal number. For LGA add Marine Air Terminal versus the central complex when you know it. For EWR add A, B, or C. For TEB add the FBO name. For HPN say commercial terminal versus private aviation.
If the chauffeur is staying, write hourly and the class. Sedan hourly $120, SUV $150, S-Class from $175, Sprinter from $200, 3-hour minimum. If the chauffeur is released at the hotel, write airport transfer and use the Manhattan table only when Manhattan is actually one end.
Outer-borough airport work is still airport work, just not the Manhattan row. Brooklyn to JFK, Long Island City to LGA, Jersey City to EWR, Greenwich to TEB, White Plains to HPN: quote from the two pins. Call (929) 205-4788 or use /book.
JFK passenger terminals in common use include Terminal 1, Terminal 4, Terminal 5, Terminal 7, and Terminal 8. They do not share one inner curb. Write the terminal number. The published JFK Manhattan sedan figure is still $170, SUV $160, Sprinter $700, whether the pin is Terminal 4 or Terminal 8.
LaGuardia uses a rebuilt central complex plus the Marine Air Terminal for some flights. The published LGA Manhattan sedan figure is $150, SUV $160, Sprinter $600. Long Island City to LGA can use the Grand Central Parkway and still is not the Manhattan row. The 25-50 minute window on this page is a planning range.
Newark Liberty uses Terminals A, B, and C. Manhattan sedan is $170, SUV $160, Sprinter $700. The Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, or George Washington Bridge depends on the Manhattan pin: Hudson Yards and Hell's Kitchen often point at Lincoln, the Financial District and Battery Park City often point at Holland. Hoboken to EWR is a different quote.
Teterboro is organized around FBOs, not a Port Authority commercial terminal. TEB Manhattan sedan is $130, SUV $160, Sprinter $600. Write the FBO name. If the group waits, switch to hourly: E-Class $120, Escalade $150, S-Class from $175, Sprinter from $200, 3-hour minimum.
Westchester County Airport sits near White Plains. HPN Manhattan sedan is $130, SUV $165, Sprinter $650. White Plains to HPN is not that Manhattan row. I-95 and the Hutchinson River Parkway show up on that path. Stewart International is in the Port Authority 2024 commercial total at 277,000 passengers and still has no printed Manhattan flat here.
Port Authority counted 63.3 million JFK passengers, 33.5 million LaGuardia passengers, 48.9 million Newark Liberty passengers, and 145.9 million across JFK, LGA, EWR, and Stewart in 2024. Port Authority source. NYC for-hire passenger rights: TLC passenger bill of rights.
