NYC Airport All-In Estimates
All-in estimates for Midtown Manhattan to/from JFK, LGA, and EWR include a professional chauffeur, complimentary wait time, flight tracking, bottled water, standard tolls, 20% gratuity, tax, and card fees. Every sedan and SUV airport pickup includes inside meet-and-greet at no extra charge: your chauffeur waits inside the terminal at arrivals and texts you when you land. For Sprinter vans, minibuses and coaches, the chauffeur stays with the vehicle, so inside meet-and-greet is an add-on: a second team member meets your group inside, at an extra cost quoted at booking. Airport pickups include 45 minutes of complimentary waiting for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights, starting when the flight actually lands. We track your flight. No surge at 7 AM, no holiday bump, no weather surcharge.
