JFK. Handled.

Private chauffeur service to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport.

JFK Car Service

You land. The car is already there.

We track your flight from the moment it departs. If you land forty minutes early, your chauffeur is early. If you sit on the tarmac for an hour, nothing changes and no one charges you for it.

Complimentary wait time is 45 minutes on domestic arrivals and 60 minutes on international, timed from the gate — not from the moment you were scheduled to land.

Arrivals

Two ways to be met.

Curbside

Straight out, straight in.

Clear customs, walk out to arrivals, and your chauffeur pulls up as you reach the door. The standard choice for domestic arrivals and travellers who know the terminal.

Meet & Greet

Met inside, at the door.

Your chauffeur parks, walks in, and waits at arrivals with a name sign — then handles the luggage from there. Worth it on international arrivals, with children, or at Terminal 4 in the evening.

Departures

Timed to the traffic.

Departure time is planned around your flight, the Van Wyck and the time of day — not a fixed rule of thumb that ignores a Friday afternoon.

Timing

How long to Manhattan, honestly.

JFK to Midtown is roughly 45 to 75 minutes depending on time of day, and considerably longer on a weekday between 4pm and 7pm. Anyone quoting you a single fixed number has not driven the Van Wyck.

Your chauffeur plans the route on the day, using current conditions rather than an average.

Questions

JFK car service, explained.

How much wait time is included at JFK?

45 minutes on domestic arrivals and 60 minutes on international arrivals, timed from when your aircraft reaches the gate rather than from your scheduled landing time.

What happens if my flight is delayed or arrives early?

Your flight is monitored from departure. Pickup timing adjusts automatically in either direction, with no need to call and no change to your rate.

Where does my chauffeur meet me at JFK?

Curbside at your terminal’s arrivals level by default. Meet and greet is available on request, where your chauffeur parks and waits inside arrivals with a name sign.

How long does it take to get from JFK to Manhattan?

Typically 45 to 75 minutes to Midtown, depending on time of day and traffic on the Van Wyck Expressway. Weekday evenings between 4pm and 7pm run considerably longer.

Which vehicle should I book for a JFK arrival?

A Premium Sedan carries 3 passengers with 2 bags. For families, groups or international arrivals with checked luggage, a Premium SUV or First Class SUV carries 6 passengers with 5 bags.

Do you serve every terminal at JFK?

Yes. RideSoHo provides pickup and drop-off at all JFK terminals, as well as FBO facilities for private aviation arrivals.

Can I book a JFK car service with a child seat?

Yes. Infant, toddler and booster seats are available by advance request and are installed before your chauffeur arrives at the airport.

How far in advance should I book a JFK transfer?

24 hours is recommended, particularly for early morning departures, child seats and larger vehicles. Same-day reservations are accepted subject to availability.
