Reliable JFK Airport Shuttle & Private Car Service
Port Authority Approved Rides with Curbside Pickup at Every JFK Terminal

How long does it take to get from JFK to Manhattan or other destinations?
The drive from JFK to Manhattan takes about 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. There’s a lot of construction between terminals on top of the congestion on the Van Wyck and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. A ride from JFK to Brooklyn can take between 30 to 60 minutes, Queens 20 to 40, and Connecticut up to two hours.
Typical drive times from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) average:
| From JFK to | Typical drive time |
|---|---|
| Manhattan | 45–75 min |
| Brooklyn | 30–60 min |
| Queens | 20–40 min |
| Long Island | 30–70 min |
| Connecticut / New Haven | 60–120 min |
Travel times vary with traffic, time of day, and route conditions. Booking your JFK airport transportation in advance helps you avoid delays and have a vehicle ready when you land.
Note: Due to ongoing JFK redevelopment and lane closures on the Van Wyck, we recommend adding 20 minutes to these estimates during peak hours (3 PM – 8 PM). Your driver knows the current closures, as well as routes around them, to help limit time spent in traffic.
