Your ride to JFK Airport from NYU. Reliable JFK car service from NYU. Premium Black Sedan or SUV, curbside pickup for arrivals, 24/7.
Downtown streets are tight and busy; we time the pickup so the car is waiting when you come down. Visiting families flying in for move-in or graduation can book both directions at once.
First leg: out of Greenwich Village. The rest of the way to JFK: the Midtown Tunnel or the bridges to Queens, then the Long Island Expressway and the Van Wyck. Expect about 15 mi and 30 min – 50 min on a normal day; the Van Wyck Expressway is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.
From NYU, LGA is the quickest airport (about 42 min) and JFK is the 3rd closest. For long-haul and international flights, JFK is usually worth the extra time. You get one fixed price for NYU to JFK before you book, tolls included.
| Route | Sedan up to 3 | SUV up to 6 |
|---|---|---|
| NYU ↔ JFK | $169.44 | $206.73 |
Tolls, taxes and gratuity are included. One price covers everyone in the car. If your flight is late, the pickup moves with it at no cost. Return rides cost the same as the trip out.
Get this fare online; it will not change after you book.
Break weeks fill up fast. If several friends from NYU are flying out of JFK the same day, a Premium Black SUV takes up to 6 with bags. If the school changes the break dates or your flight moves, just tell us — changing the pickup time is free.
From NYU, plan the pickup 3 hr before a domestic departure and 4 hr before an international one.
Overseas flights from JFK close check-in about 60 minutes before departure, so don't trim the 3-hour cushion on an international trip. Tell us the flight number and we'll suggest the pickup time when we confirm.

From West 4th St it's the subway to Jamaica or Howard Beach, then the AirTrain — about 75–90 minutes with luggage on stairs and platforms.
The car takes 30 min – 50 min and starts at your front door. If you're flying overseas, the car also saves you hauling large suitcases through Grand Central and onto the AirTrain.
Give us your flight number and the car goes to the right JFK terminal — Delta (4), JetBlue (5), American (8) or one of the international terminals.
Coming home, the trip back to NYU takes about the same time; we track your flight and the 1 hour of free waiting starts when you land. JFK guide →
