Reply to comment by Ambartenen in Recommendations for a shuttle or cab service to JFK from New Haven by meowmixalots

For Uber and Lyft, I was worried that the driver wouldn't want to go that far. A friend told me the Uber driver picked her up not knowing he was going all the way to JFK and didn't want to go without knowing if he had a fare to take home.

I just didn't know if it was common to use those companies for 2 hour drives to the airport. If it is, that would make me feel a lot more comfortable.

I’ve used Uber for rides to JFK, I have friends who’ve used it as well. You can schedule a ride ahead of time to make sure the driver is ok with driving that far.

My wife and I just used Uber to get down to JFK weekend before last, and used Uber to get back a couple days ago. I think the drivers appreciated the work, and we appreciated having a calm and quiet ride - win win!
