How your EWR to JFK transfer works.
We meet you at EWR
Your chauffeur tracks your flight into Terminal A, B, or C and meets you curbside or inside baggage claim with a name sign if you add Meet & Greet.
Luggage handled
Your chauffeur loads every bag. Traveling with several large suitcases? Choose a Luxury SUV so everything fits comfortably.
The fastest route on the day
Most trips use the Goethals Bridge, Staten Island, the Verrazzano Bridge, and the Belt Parkway. When that route backs up, your chauffeur switches to the tunnels through Manhattan or another route.
Dropped at your JFK terminal
We drop you at the departures door of your JFK terminal, whether you fly from Terminal 1, 4, 5, 7, or 8, so you go straight to check in.
