Ways to get from the airport to Midtown Manhattan
A private transfer booked ahead suits travellers who want a pre-arranged pickup and direct transport to their accommodation. It is useful for families, groups, heavy luggage or arrivals when you prefer not to make decisions after landing.A taxi from the rank is a straightforward choice if you want to leave the airport without arranging a car in advance. Follow the airport signs to the official rank and check the current arrangements before travelling.
Public transport can suit independent travellers who are comfortable changing services and carrying their luggage through busy stations. Check the airport and transport operator for current routes, service changes and payment details.
A hire car is worth considering only if you plan to travel beyond Midtown Manhattan. Parking, traffic and city driving can make it less convenient for a hotel-based stay, so confirm your accommodation’s arrangements before booking.
Booking a private transfer
After collecting your luggage, follow the instructions in your booking and meet the driver in the arrivals area. Keep your booking confirmation, accommodation address and contact details ready, and make sure your phone can connect after landing.When entering flight details, use the information shown on your booking and tell the provider about any changes as soon as possible. Providers usually monitor delays, but you should check their current policy for late or diverted flights. State the number and size of your bags when booking, including bulky items such as pushchairs or sports equipment. Request suitable child seats in advance, as availability and local requirements vary.
