Your ride from UConn
to JFK.

There's no train in Storrs; the nearest real options are Hartford's Union Station and the Amtrak stops on the coast. From Storrs, Route 195 leads to I-84 west โ€” the start of the long run toward Hartford and the New York airports.

Your chauffeur starts out Route 195 to I-84 west, then takes I-95 or I-84/I-91 west and south through Connecticut, then the Whitestone or Throgs Neck and the Van Wyck. Expect about 120 mi and 2 hr 13 min โ€“ 2 hr 33 min on a normal day; the Van Wyck Expressway is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

JFK isn't the nearest airport to UConn โ€” that's HPN, about 1 hr 37 min away โ€” but it's often the one with the right flight. For long-haul and international flights, JFK is usually worth the extra time. Enter the address above for the fixed fare from UConn โ€” tolls included.

Pickup time
for JFK.

Domestic flight from JFK? Get picked up at UConn about 4 hr 45 min before departure. Flying overseas? Make it about 5 hr 45 min.

Evening international departures make late afternoon the busiest time at JFK's security lines โ€” plan a little extra if your flight leaves between 5 and 10 PM. If your flight leaves in the late afternoon, give the Van Wyck Expressway extra room.

Can you get there
by train?

There's no station in town โ€” the nearest is Hartford Union Station on the Hartford Line, so the train trip already starts with a drive. From Hartford Union Station, ride the Hartford Line to Grand Central (changing at New Haven), then the LIRR from Grand Central Madison to Jamaica and the AirTrain to your terminal โ€” three legs with luggage.

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 2 hr 13 min โ€“ 2 hr 33 min to the curb.

Landing at JFK?
Here's how pickup works.

JFK is really several airports in one โ€” check which terminal your airline uses before the day, and your chauffeur drives straight to that terminal's departures curb. For arrivals your chauffeur waits at the arrivals curb of your terminal; international passengers usually need 30โ€“60 minutes after landing for passport control and bags, which is why we track the flight and count free waiting from the actual landing time.

Book the return to UConn at the same time; the flight is tracked and waiting time starts only when you land. JFK guide โ†’

UConn to JFK โ€” questions answered.

What does a ride from UConn to JFK cost?
One fixed price with tolls included โ€” enter your address on this page for the exact quote. You see it before you book.
Will the driver wait if my international flight into JFK is late?
Yes. We track the flight and the clock starts when you actually land, not at the scheduled time. Every airport pickup includes 1 hour of free waiting, and passport control at JFK is built into that.
Is there a train from UConn to JFK?
There's no station in town โ€” the nearest is Hartford Union Station on the Hartford Line, so the train trip already starts with a drive. From Hartford Union Station, ride the Hartford Line to Grand Central (changing at New Haven), then the LIRR from Grand Central Madison to Jamaica and the AirTrain to your terminal โ€” three legs with luggage.
Can a parent book the car for a student?
Of course. The parent pays and gets the confirmation; the student gets a text with the chauffeur's name and car.
