Airport sprinter transfers
Flat-rate sprinter service to every NYC airport.
Mercedes Sprinter NYC operates flat-rate airport transfers across JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), Newark Liberty (EWR), and Teterboro (TEB). Groups of 10-14 passengers, 14 bags of luggage, meet-and-greet at baggage claim, 60 minutes of complimentary wait time, and real-time flight tracking on every pickup.

Sprinter vs. the alternatives
A 10-person group from JFK to Midtown, compared.
| Option | Price | Time | Surge? | Capacity | Bags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes Sprinter NYC | $450 flat | 45-75 min | Never | 10-14 pax | 14 bags |
| Uber Black XL | $180-420 (surges 2-3x) | 45-75 min | 2-3x in rain/snow/rush | 6 pax max | 6 bags |
| Uber XL / Lyft XL | $80-250 (surges 2-3x) | 45-75 min | 2-3x, common | 6 pax | 6 bags |
| Yellow Cab (Metered) | $70-95 + tolls + 20% tip | 45-75 min | No (flat from JFK only) | 4 pax | 3-4 bags |
| AirTrain + Subway | $10.75 | 60-90 min | Never | 1-2 with bags | Unrealistic for 10+ |
Bottom line: for groups of 6+, Uber Black XL or multiple cabs consistently cost more than a flat-rate Mercedes Sprinter once you account for surge, tolls, tip, and the inability to keep a group together.
Which NYC airport do I fly into?
For groups arriving into NYC from Europe or Asia, JFK is almost always the answer — the region\'s busiest international gateway, 15 miles from Midtown via the Van Wyck and Belt Parkway. LaGuardia is the default for domestic flights and closest to Manhattan at 9 miles. Newark Liberty often has cheaper domestic and European fares and is served by United\'s NYC hub. Teterboro is private aviation only — FBO pickup by prior arrangement.
What\'s included in a sprinter airport transfer
- Meet-and-greet at baggage claim with a name card (on request; curbside otherwise).
- Real-time flight tracking so chauffeur timing adjusts to your actual arrival, not your scheduled one.
- 60 minutes of complimentary wait time post-arrival (most other operators give 30-45).
- All standard tolls — Triboro, George Washington, Lincoln, Holland, and Van Wyck.
- Bottled water, Wi-Fi, phone chargers.
- Luggage assistance from baggage claim to the sprinter.
For departures, the chauffeur arrives at your Manhattan pickup 30-45 minutes ahead of the scheduled time and routes to the airport with live traffic. We target terminal curb 2 hours before international departures and 90 minutes before domestic.
According to the Port Authority of NY & NJ, the three NYC-area commercial airports (JFK, LGA, EWR) processed more than 135 million passengers in 2023 — making professional ground transportation one of the largest single-expense categories for NYC group travel.
