Detailed pickup directions for each terminal. Your chauffeur will also text you the exact position when you land.
Your chauffeur monitors your flight and stages in the cell phone lot. When you text “I have my bags,” they move to the curbside FHV zone—typically arriving within 2–3 minutes.
At Terminals 4, 5, and 7, rideshare passengers must take a shuttle between 12PM and 2AM. Pre-booked car service is exempt and picks up curbside. This saves 10–20 minutes.
With the New Terminal One Phase A opening June 2026 and Terminal 6 opening late 2026, airlines are transitioning between terminals. Always check at jfkairport.com.
Add Meet & Greet to your booking and your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign. Popular for international arrivals, families, and VIP travelers.
We provide 60 minutes of complimentary wait time for international arrivals and 45 minutes for domestic. No penalty if customs takes longer than expected.
FHV stands for For-Hire Vehicle. At JFK, FHV pickup zones are designated curbside areas where pre-booked car services, black cars, and limousines pick up passengers. Each terminal has its own FHV zone layout.
With Meet & Greet ($25), yes. Your chauffeur waits near baggage claim or the customs exit with a name sign. Without Meet & Greet, your chauffeur waits at the curbside FHV zone and texts you the exact location.
Call or text your chauffeur directly. The number is in your booking confirmation. They can describe their exact position relative to the terminal exit, pillar numbers, or zone markers. Our dispatch team is also available 24/7.
Terminal 1 FHV zones may shift temporarily during NTO construction. Our dispatch monitors PANYNJ announcements daily and sends chauffeurs to the correct location. Your chauffeur texts the current zone when you land.
Check jfkairport.com or your airline’s website for current terminal assignments. With terminals transitioning in 2026, assignments may change. Our booking system verifies your terminal at the time of reservation.
Yes. JFK has a free cell phone waiting lot near the airport where chauffeurs stage until you text that you have your bags. This keeps the FHV zone clear and ensures your chauffeur arrives curbside within minutes of your signal.
No. At most terminals, the FHV zone is within 50–100 yards of the baggage claim exit. At Terminal 4, you walk past the taxi stand (inner lane) to the outer lane. At Terminal 5, the numbered spots are along the same curbside.
Yes. We operate 24/7 with no surge pricing. Late-night and red-eye arrivals are common. Your chauffeur monitors your flight and is staged regardless of the hour. Between 2AM and 12PM, rideshare also picks up curbside at all terminals.
