Ways to get from the airport to Times Square
A private transfer booked ahead suits travellers who want a prearranged pickup, families with luggage and anyone arriving after a long flight. Your driver normally meets you in arrivals and takes you directly to your accommodation.A taxi from the rank is useful when you prefer to arrange transport after landing. Follow airport signs to the official taxi rank and use only authorised vehicles. Confirm the destination and payment details before setting off.
Public transport can suit light packers and travellers comfortable with changes. Airport rail and bus connections link with the wider New York network, but routes, service patterns and ticket arrangements can change. Check the airport or transport provider for current details before travelling.
A hire car is usually most useful if Times Square is part of a wider road trip or you need to visit places outside the city. Traffic, parking and one-way streets can make driving in Midtown inconvenient, so compare the full rental conditions before booking.
Booking a private transfer
Have your booking confirmation, accommodation address and flight details ready. After collecting your bags, follow the meeting instructions for arrivals and look for the driver or approved meeting point described in your confirmation. If your flight is late or delayed, contact the transfer provider as soon as possible and follow its flight-monitoring instructions.Tell the provider how much luggage you have, including bulky items, and request suitable child car seats when booking. Availability and fitting arrangements vary, so do not assume a seat will be supplied without advance notice. Check the cancellation, waiting and amendment conditions before you travel.
