Airport Pickup
If you have booked an airport transfer, you will be met at one of the three
major local airports (JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark) by a representative from our
airport pick-up services. After you collect your baggage from Baggage Claim
and/or pass through Customs, go to the arrival waiting gallery. This is the last
area BEFORE the exit of the airport building where passengers meet the
people who come to pick them up. Your driver will be waiting for you INSIDE
the arrival waiting gallery. Look for someone holding up a sign with your name
on it and the EC Logo.
If you are arriving at JFK airport, please make sure to look out for the EC driver
as you exit customs/immigration and then once you receive your luggage.
Drivers, private cars and taxis normally wait around the EXIT. You should keep
their eyes open and look out for an EC NY sign with your name displayed on it.
If your first flight into the U.S. is delayed or your flight number is changed, you
must call: +1 347 567 3543
If you arrive at the airport and you cannot find your driver, you should also
call the number above. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you must call to
reschedule at least two hours before your originally scheduled pick-up time.
Otherwise, you will have to pay for a second transfer or take a taxi.
You should not get into a car with anyone who does not have
this EC sign.
