How does car service from Philadelphia to JFK work?

Car service from Philadelphia to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is a pre-booked private car that drives you about 100 miles from your address to your terminal in Queens, with the price agreed before the trip.

JFK is in the middle of a large terminal rebuild, so terminal assignments shift. Send your airline and flight number when you book and our team confirms where to drop you.

For the trip home, the chauffeur tracks your flight and waits inside the terminal. International arrivals can take a long time to clear, and airport waiting time is free, so nobody needs to guess when you will walk out.

The driver was fantastic. I missed to give him the tip. Please send my big thank you to him. I really appreciated all the kind support when travelling from abroad. Many thanks.

We needed a limousine last minute and since we had 18+ bags most people were not able to accommodate us. We booked them the night before, they were on time, courteous and did not let us lift 1 bag!

Atip was exceptional. He arrived before pick up (on time), was super respectful helping with luggage and ensuring I had snacks and water for the trip. Definitely recommend!
