JetBlack does not run a scheduled shuttle and does not sell bus tickets. If you need a private ride to or from a New York airport, JetBlack books a chauffeured car for your party alone, at a per-trip written quote. That distinction matters: a scheduled shuttle picks up strangers on a fixed route and timetable, while a JetBlack booking picks up only your party, at the time you choose, and takes you directly to your destination.
What a JetBlack airport transfer actually is
A JetBlack airport transfer is a private car service. Your driver tracks your flight, meets you at the agreed pickup point, and drives you directly to your hotel, home, or office. The default pickup is express curbside pickup; meet and greet is an extra service you can request at booking. Flight-detail changes are the client’s responsibility, so tell dispatch as soon as your plans change. There is no surge pricing, and dispatch runs 24 hours a day.
JetBlack serves John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Newark Liberty International Airport, plus private addresses across New York City and the surrounding area. The JFK to Manhattan economy fare is $65, quoted before tolls, tip, and governmental fees. Larger and luxury vehicles cost more, and every quote is confirmed in writing before you travel.

What it costs
JetBlack charges by the hour: economy sedan $45 per hour with a 3-hour minimum, through stretch limousine $144 per hour with a 4-hour minimum, and standard Sprinter $130 per hour. Buses and super-luxury Sprinters are quoted per trip. All rates are quoted before tolls, tip, and governmental fees, and the suggested 20% tip is not included.
For comparison, a yellow taxi from JFK to Manhattan runs a $70 flat fare plus additions, which comes to $76.75 base, or $81.75 in weekday rush from 4pm to 8pm. The AirTrain plus subway chain from JFK costs $11.75. A private car costs more than transit, and what you pay for is a direct ride, luggage help, and no waiting on a shared timetable.
Groups and families
Group movement with JetBlack is a private car or charter at a per-trip written quote only.
