New York → Jersey City: key facts

Private transfer, New York Airport (JFK) to Jersey City: the car (1–3 passengers) is $190 and the van (4–8) is $260, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 36 km on the road via I 678 and I 495; about 40 min off-peak, 40–50 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at, after baggage claim (and customs for international flights), holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Jersey City lies in New Jersey on the west bank of the Hudson River, directly opposite Lower Manhattan; its waterfront around Exchange Place and Newport is lined with office and apartment towers. From JFK the drive crosses Brooklyn or Manhattan and then the Hudson, usually through the Holland Tunnel, or via the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Staten Island and the Bayonne Bridge. Tolls on these crossings depend on the route and direction of travel. The distance is about 36 km, and tunnel approaches are often congested at peak hours.

Exchange Place and Paulus Hook form the downtown waterfront, with hotels, the PATH station and a riverside walkway facing the Manhattan skyline. Newport, a few blocks north, has a shopping mall and more residential towers, and the Grove Street area just inland has restaurants around a small plaza. Liberty State Park, with ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, lies to the south, and Hoboken borders the city to the north.

Public transport instead: AirTrain JFK (Port Authority) + MTA New York City Subway AirTrain JFK to Jamaica, then Manhattan-bound subway from Sutphin Blvd-Archer Av-JFK Airport from JFK Airport terminal AirTrain station to World Trade Center (then PATH train to Exchange Place), AirTrain every 5-15 min, 1 change. Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) PATH from World Trade Center across the Hudson River from World Trade Center to Exchange Place. No direct public transport from JFK to Jersey City: the usual combination is the AirTrain JFK to Jamaica, the subway to World Trade Center and a PATH train across the Hudson River to Exchange Place.
