Key takeaways
- With meet & greet, your chauffeur waits inside the terminal — usually at baggage claim — holding a sign with your name.
- Flight tracking means delays are handled automatically; waiting time starts when you land.
- We include 45 minutes of complimentary waiting for domestic arrivals and 60 minutes for international.
- Keep your phone on after landing — your chauffeur texts with their exact location.
What meet & greet means
Instead of meeting a car at the curb, your chauffeur parks, comes into the terminal, and waits for you with a name sign. They help with your luggage and walk you to the car. It is the easiest option for first-time visitors, international arrivals, travelers with lots of luggage, and VIP guests. Any meet & greet charge is shown in your quote before you book.
Where your chauffeur waits
| Airport | Domestic arrivals | International arrivals |
|---|---|---|
| Newark (EWR) | Baggage claim for your terminal (A, B, or C) | Terminal B or C arrivals hall, outside customs |
| JFK | Baggage claim for your terminal | Arrivals hall outside the customs exit |
| LaGuardia (LGA) | Baggage claim in Terminal A, B, or C | Pre-cleared flights arrive as domestic |
If you cannot find your chauffeur
Call or text the chauffeur number in your confirmation, or call dispatch. Airports have multiple baggage carousels and exits, and a quick message usually solves it in a minute. Do not leave the terminal with another driver who approaches you.
