Transfer from/to New York

The Big Apple is one of the most important gateways to the United States, where travelers arrive from all over the world. The main airports in New York are JFK (John F. Kennedy), La Guardia in Queens and Newark in New Jersey.

Once you land on American soil you will have to choose the best way to get to downtown New York from the airport. I will tell you the options for you to choose from, although for me, the best value for money option is to book a private transfer from any of the New York airports.

Whether you are tired after a long flight and do not want to walk around looking for a free cab, because you are not familiar with the public transport network and prefer not to make transfers or because you do not speak much English and you are afraid of getting lost, the most comfortable and fastest way to get to your hotel is with a private transfer from the airport to the hotel in New York

The main difference between the private transfer and the shared transfer is that this time the vehicle and the driver will be at your disposal and the vehicle will be only for you and your group, so you will not have to wait for other passengers.

• How it works: This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Depending on the number of people you will have to choose between a private transfer in a luxury sedan for three people, a VIP SUV that can carry up to six passengers or a van that can occupy up to nine travelers. You will then need to provide your flight arrival details and the full address of your hotel, apartment or home address in Manhattan. Your transfer will be instantly confirmed and you will be given a voucher to present to the driver.
• Luggage: The interior of all vehicles is elegant and spacious and has sufficient capacity to carry the luggage of all users (each traveler is allowed a maximum of 1 suitcase and 1 handbag).
• What is the price of this private transfer: The price is per person based on three passengers per car, six per SUV or nine passengers per van. The rate corresponds to an all-inclusive pick-up service, plus local taxes and toll charges. In other words, the cost of this private transfer, starting at $170, is a fixed amount and does not depend on traffic.

Pre-booking a private transfer from your hotel to the New York airport is the best way to catch your flight back home without having to worry about finding a cab at the last minute on the day of departure or making endless public transportation rides carrying luggage, with all the stress that goes with it.

An experienced driver who knows the streets of the city will pick you up at the door of your hotel in plenty of time to drive you to the terminal where you will catch your flight back home. No waiting and no stress, with the peace of mind of knowing that you will arrive on time to board the plane and that you will not pay an exorbitant price for it.

If you land at one airport and have to change to another, you can also count on this service. Forget about the stress of missing a flight thanks to this private transfer.

• How does it work: The private transfer service back to the airport works in the same way as the arrival one, only this time you will have to indicate the address of your hotel and the details of your flight departure. Your transfer will be confirmed and you will be given a voucher to present to the driver.
• Travel time: Depending on the time of day, there may be more traffic. It is recommended to be at the airport 2 hours before your flight departs, although 3 hours is ideal. In this sense, we advise you to calculate additional time to determine the pick-up time at the hotel. And if it is rush hour, add at least 45 minutes for the closest airport (La Guardia) and 75 minutes for the farthest ones (JFK and Newark).
• About luggage: Remember that, if you have special needs or luggage, you can contact the company once you have made your reservation so that they can answer any questions. This is a personalized service.
• About the price: This private transfer is very good value for money if you take into account that the service is very similar to a cab, but you are sure to pay a fixed amount in advance and that the fare will not depend on traffic.

After a long flight where you are exhausted and carrying suitcases, the last thing you want to do is to walk around the terminal looking for a cab and pay an exorbitant fare or having to wait forever on public transport to get to your destination. Therefore, the most comfortable option is to book a shared transfer to your hotel in Manhattan where you will travel aboard fully equipped modern minivans.

Their fleet of vehicles has a maximum capacity of eleven passengers. They have enough space for luggage (each traveler can carry a maximum of one suitcase and one carry-on bag), they will pick you up at the airport and drop you off at the door of your hotel.

• How does it work: Transfers operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After booking, you will receive a confirmation email and they will be waiting for you! When your flight lands at JFK, Newark or La Guardia airports, just go to the Ground Transportation Desk in the terminal and present your printed voucher to one of the agents for instructions.
• What happens if the flight is delayed: At the time of booking you will be asked for your flight information so that the company can monitor your flight at all times, so they will know if the flight is delayed. Flight delays do not affect the transfer reservation.
• Are the prices final: The price you pay at the time of booking is a fixed amount and will not depend on the traffic on arrival in New York. However, gratuities and excess baggage charges are not included.

At the end of our stay in New York, what we are most concerned about is getting to the airport in time to catch our flight back home in peace and quiet and without too much running around looking for a cab or making multiple transfers on the city's public transport. Again, as with your arrival, the most convenient option is to book a transfer from the hotel to the airport.

• How does it work: Transfers run every day without interruption. At the time of booking, you will have to indicate your return flight details and the address of your hotel so that the driver of the shared transfer knows where and when to pick you up. To facilitate the service, our advice is to inform the hotel porter or concierge that you are waiting for a driver to pick you up at the airport.
• Prices are final: As in the arrival transfer from the airport to your hotel, the prices are final and neither the kilometers traveled nor the traffic can vary the rate, it is a fixed price. On the other hand, tips are not included.
