What this page helps you reserve
This page helps you reserve a private car between JFK and Newark Liberty International Airport, in either direction. It is built for travelers with a connection between the two airports, crews and groups moving between flights, and anyone whose arrival and departure airports differ. It covers prices, timing, tolls and where to meet.

Plan your JFK to EWR reservation
Plan a JFK to Newark transfer around your inbound flight. Add the inbound airline and flight number so the chauffeur tracks the landing, give your outbound flight time so we can see how tight the connection is, and tell us how many bags you have. Those three details set the vehicle and the timing.
| Detail to add | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Inbound flight number | The pickup follows the real landing time |
| JFK arrival terminal | Terminals 5 and 7 meet at the Howard Beach lot |
| Outbound Newark terminal | Drop-off at the right curb: A, B or C |
| Bags and passengers | Sets the vehicle class |
| Outbound departure time | Shows whether the connection is realistic |
Before you book the trip
Before you book, check the drive time against your connection. JFK to Newark is about 56 minutes without traffic in either direction, based on routing estimates. Real drive times are often longer, because the route crosses Brooklyn and Staten Island or Manhattan, and both can slow at rush hour. Leave room for bags and immigration too.
| Trip | Distance | Drive time without traffic |
|---|---|---|
| JFK to Newark | 31.2 mi | about 56 min (estimate) |
| Newark to JFK | 30.7 mi | about 56 min (estimate) |
Drive times are estimates (OSRM free-flow routing with no traffic, checked Oct 29, 2026). Traffic varies, and rush hour, weather and airport construction add time.
How much time do I need between JFK and Newark?
Add up the time to leave the plane, clear immigration and baggage claim for international arrivals, the drive, and the time your airline needs at Newark before departure. Then add a traffic buffer. A same-day connection between JFK and Newark with a short gap is risky; when in doubt, call 888-887-0324 before you book.
Which route does the chauffeur take, and what tolls apply?
Depending on traffic, the chauffeur usually takes the Belt Parkway and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge across Staten Island into New Jersey, or goes through Manhattan and a Hudson River tunnel. The Port Authority collects its Hudson River tunnel and bridge tolls New York-bound only, so the Newark to JFK direction pays them.
| Toll or charge | Amount | Applies |
|---|---|---|
| MTA bridges and tunnels, car with E-ZPass | $7.46 (mid-tier $9.79, Tolls by Mail $12.03) | Depends on the crossing used |
| Port Authority Hudson River crossings, E-ZPass | $14.79 off-peak, $16.79 peak | New York-bound only, so Newark to JFK |
| Port Authority, Toll by Mail | $23.30 | New York-bound only |

Where will my chauffeur meet me at JFK or Newark?
At JFK, pickups are at the arrivals curb by default once you have your bags. At JFK Terminals 5 and 7, car service passengers take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach car service lot under the airport's rule (JFK Terminal 5 and 7 advisory), and your car meets you there. JFK also warns that pickups may take longer during construction.
| JFK fact | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Curb parking | Not allowed; curbs are for active pickup and drop-off | jfkairport.com |
| Terminals 5 and 7 | Car service passengers take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach car service lot | JFK Terminal 5 and 7 advisory |
| Roadways | Van Wyck Expressway serves Terminals 1 and 4; JFK Expressway serves Terminals 5, 7 and 8 | jfkairport.com |
| Construction | JFK warns that pickups may take longer during construction | jfkairport.com |
| Waiting areas | Free Cell Phone Lot; Lefferts Boulevard lot with an AirTrain link | jfkairport.com |
For the Newark to JFK direction, pickups are at the Newark arrivals curb of Terminal A or B. At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. Newark does not allow curb parking, so call 888-887-0324 when you have your bags. More detail is in our JFK pickup guide and Newark pickup guide.
How does waiting time work?
Waiting time depends on the pickup. Home, hotel and office pickups have a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. Airport arrivals have a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing, counted from when the flight lands, and every airport pickup includes flight tracking, so an early or late flight moves your pickup with it.
| Pickup type | Grace period or wait time |
|---|---|
| Regular pickup (home, hotel, office) | 15 minutes |
| Domestic flight arrival | 60 minutes after landing |
| International flight arrival | 90 minutes after landing |
| Flight tracking | Included on airport pickups |
See the wait time policy for the full terms.

JFK to EWR and nearby connections.
A JFK to Newark transfer is one of several airport pairs we run. These pages cover the reverse direction, JFK to LaGuardia, the JFK and Newark hub pages, and the inter-airport page, so you can compare times between all three airports before you plan a connection or choose where to fly in and out.
- Inter-airport transfers: every airport pair in one place
- JFK to LaGuardia: the shorter Queens transfer
- JFK car service: the JFK hub
- Newark Airport car service: the Newark hub
Check the airport handoff before travel.
Before travel day, check the details that make an airport to airport handoff work. The chauffeur needs the inbound flight number to track the landing, the arrival terminal, the outbound terminal and a mobile number. With a connection, every minute matters, so check the booking the day before and call us if a flight changes.
- Flight number and airline added to the booking
- Pickup address with the entrance or cross street
- Passenger name and a mobile number in the notes
- Passenger and bag count matched to the vehicle class
- Child seats added, in an SUV or Sprinter
Can I book the return trip?
Yes. If you fly into Newark later and out of JFK, book the reverse trip as a separate pickup with that flight number. The chauffeur tracks it and waits 60 minutes after a domestic landing or 90 minutes after an international one. That direction pays the Port Authority toll, which is already in the price.
