Is a NYC car service cheaper than Uber?
For airport transfers, a flat-fare chauffeur usually beats a rideshare once surge kicks in. Swift quotes one all-in number that never moves; Uber Black and yellow cabs float with demand, weather, and events.

Terminals & pickup at John F. Kennedy International
Swift covers every terminal at John F. Kennedy International (T1, T4, T5, T7, T8). For curbside pickup, your chauffeur coordinates the designated door for your terminal; for meet-and-greet, they wait inside at baggage claim with a name board.
