JFK Ends Curbside Rideshare Pickups at Terminals 4, 5 and 7

Airport officials say the off-site pickups reduce terminal roadway congestion during construction.

Overview

  • At Terminal 4, on-site pickups are allowed only before noon, with a free shuttle running every 1–2 minutes to Lot 66 required from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.
  • At Terminals 5 and 7, arriving passengers are directed to take the AirTrain green line to Howard Beach to meet ride apps in the designated lot.
  • The AirTrain is free within the airport and the Howard Beach ride-app lot operates 24/7.
  • ADA-accessible ride-app vehicles may still use curbside pickup, and standard curbside drop-offs for departures continue.
  • Travel outlets report longer post-arrival transfers for many travelers, with some advising a walk from Terminal 5 to the TWA Hotel to request a car as a workaround.
