NYC Airport Meet & Greet Service | JFK, LGA, EWR Arrivals Hall Pickup

What is airport meet-and-greet service?

Airport meet-and-greet means your TLC-licensed chauffeur waits inside the airport arrivals hall with a discreet name sign rather than at curbside — at JFK Terminals 1, 4, 5, 7, 8; LaGuardia Terminals A, B, C; and Newark Terminals A, B, C. For international arrivals, the chauffeur waits at the customs exit. For domestic arrivals, the chauffeur waits at baggage claim. The chauffeur helps with luggage and walks the passenger directly to the vehicle at the curbside pickup zone. Airport pickups include 45 minutes of complimentary waiting for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights, starting when the flight actually lands, to cover customs processing and baggage. Bundled into the airport transfer quote for international arrivals at JFK and EWR; $25 add-on for domestic arrivals or LGA pickups.

How much does NYC airport meet-and-greet cost?

Included free on international arrivals at JFK Terminals 1, 4, 7, 8 and EWR Terminal B. $25 add-on for domestic arrivals at JFK Terminal 5 (JetBlue domestic), LGA Terminals A / B / C, EWR Terminal A and Terminal C domestic. The sedan, SUV or S-Class transfer requires a route-specific written quote. The $25 domestic meet-and-greet add-on is separate from the transfer fare; ask for the combined total in writing. International meet-and-greet is included as described above.

NYC airport meet-and-greet vs Uber Black

The JFK Terminal 4 rideshare lot is a 7-minute walk from the customs exit; the Newark Terminal B rideshare lot is a 5-minute walk plus AirTrain. For an international arrival at midnight with 5 to 7 bags after a 12-hour flight, the meet-and-greet experience is materially better.

Who books meet-and-greet most often?

International executive arrivals from London Heathrow, Paris CDG, Frankfurt, Tokyo Narita, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Shanghai, Beijing, Mumbai, and São Paulo — all major hubs into JFK and EWR. Family arrivals with children or elderly passengers who need help navigating the terminal. First-time NYC visitors who do not know which terminal exit leads to which curbside pickup zone (JFK Terminal 4 in particular has multiple confusing exits). Domestic arrivals from earnings season trading-floor flights into LGA. Late-night arrivals where curbside pickup at midnight is dark and disorienting. M&A team arrivals coordinated with deal-team timing. Sovereign-wealth-fund executive arrivals with discreet handling protocols (no name sign, pre-coordinated wave greeting).

How the FAA flight feed coordinates with meet-and-greet

Every airport pickup with meet-and-greet uses real-time FAA flight tracking. The chauffeur monitors your flight from wheels-up. Contact dispatch if you need to change or cancel your car reservation; the reservation cancellation terms apply. Airport pickups include 45 minutes of complimentary waiting for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights, starting when the flight actually lands, to cover customs and baggage delays.
