Who we serve

Built for the way you travel

Corporate & executive assistants

A reserved car with a known price and a tracked flight removes the two biggest risks of booking for someone else: a missed connection and a surprise fare. Rides roll up into a monthly corporate invoice.

Family offices & private clients

Discreet, consistent ground handling for principals and guests — the same standard on every trip.

Production teams

People, cases, and gear moved together on a schedule, with one point of contact for changes.

Families

Room for car seats, strollers, and checked bags, with a chauffeur who loads everything at the pickup point.

Groups

One vehicle instead of several sedans scattered across a construction-era terminal, keeping everyone together.

Private-aviation travelers

Coordination between a private or charter flight and a commercial JFK terminal, or a ground transfer around the airport.

Two ways to book

Point-to-point or hourly?

Vehicles

Choose the right vehicle

At an airport, luggage decides the vehicle more often than headcount does.

Every vehicle includes WiFi, charging, and bottled water, and your chauffeur handles the luggage. Car seats are available on request at $25 per seat; include each child's age when you book and allow 48 hours.

Where your chauffeur meets you at JFK

JFK is in the middle of a $19 billion redevelopment (Port Authority Builds), and that has changed where arriving cars can collect passengers. The old assumption — “my car will be at the curb the moment I walk out” — no longer holds at every terminal or hour.

Terminals 5 & 7
Arriving passengers who want a for-hire vehicle or car service take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach pickup lot (JFK advisory). Your chauffeur meets you there and handles your bags.
Terminal 4
A Remote Ride App & Car Services Lot operates noon to 2 a.m.; outside those hours you meet your ride in front of Terminal 4 (JFK T4 lot details).
Departures
If you are being dropped off for a flight, you can still be dropped at the terminal curb (JFK advisory).

This is where a professional service earns its price: rather than promise a curbside pickup the airport may not allow, your chauffeur confirms the precise meeting point before you exit — a designated pickup point, the Terminal 4 lot, or the Howard Beach lot. JFK's active terminals are 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 (JFK terminals); a New Terminal One and a new Terminal 6 are opening in phases through 2026. Share your flight number and terminal so dispatch positions for the current pickup point. A meet-and-greet greeter can be arranged on request.

International

Arriving from overseas

International arrivals take longer than domestic ones because you clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection before you reach the pickup point. If you hold Global Entry— CBP's program for expedited clearance of pre-approved, low-risk travelers — mention it when you book so we can tighten the pickup window.

Your booking includes flight tracking, so an early or late landing is handled without a call from you, and complimentary wait time runs from your actual arrival to cover customs, immigration, and baggage — 90 minutes for international arrivals and 60 for domestic (wait-time policy). For a first-time or overseas arrival, a greeter can walk you from arrivals to your vehicle on request.

Process

How booking works

1

Reserve

Book online at chauffeurservice.nyc/book, call 347-321-9929, or email — with your flight number, terminal, date and time, addresses, passenger count, and vehicle class.

2

Confirm your flat rate

You receive a confirmed quote, typically within the hour, and the flat rate is locked.

3

We track your flight

Monitoring begins before you land; if the arrival time shifts, the pickup adjusts automatically.

4

Meet and go

Your chauffeur confirms the exact meeting point for your terminal and time, handles your bags, and you're on your way.

A rideshare or taxi may cost less for a solo traveler with a carry-on and flexible timing, and the AirTrain plus subway is the lowest-cost option (JFK pickup & drop-off). A pre-booked black car earns its price on a fixed pickup time, luggage help, a late-night or overseas arrival, or a known, expensable rate — and at some terminals arriving cars use the remote lot or Howard Beach AirTrain (JFK ride-share). Whichever you choose, use only official pickup areas and never accept a ride from anyone who approaches you inside the terminal (Port Authority travel safety).

Inclusions

What's included, and what isn't

Included in your flat rate

A confirmed quote inclusive of tolls and taxes; real-time flight tracking; complimentary airport wait time (90 min international, 60 domestic); luggage handling; WiFi, device charging, and bottled water; and a GPS-tracked vehicle.

May cost extra

Meet-and-greet ($25); child seats ($25 per seat); wait time beyond the complimentary window; and special requests. All confirmed on your quote before you pay.

By advance arrangement

Car seats, meet-and-greet handling, group availability, private-aviation coordination, and accessibility needs — confirm when you book.

Not something any service controls

Guaranteed curbside pickup at every terminal at every hour is not available under JFK's current rules, which is why your chauffeur coordinates the exact meeting point instead.

Segments

Corporate, group, and private-aviation travel

Corporate accounts

A corporate account adds a dedicated contact, consolidated monthly invoicing itemized by ride, and NET-30 terms, with no minimum commitment and no setup fee. It suits recurring executive airport travel and investor roadshows, and accounts are typically ready within 24 hours.

Groups & production teams

An Executive Sprinter keeps a group and its luggage in one vehicle instead of coordinating several sedans at the curb. Share the passenger count, terminal, and flight and we stage the right vehicle; multiple vehicles can be dispatched together for larger movements.

Private aviation

Private and charter flights at JFK use the General Aviation Terminal at Building 145. Share your tail number, operator, and passenger count so our private-aviation team coordinates the ground transfer to your arrival.
