Step by Step

How to Meet Your Rideline Driver at JFK

Follow these steps after landing for a smooth, stress-free pickup — every time.

01

Disable Airplane Mode

As soon as you land, disable airplane mode so you can receive text updates from Rideline and your designated chauffeur with exact pickup spot instructions.

02

Follow FHV Signs

After baggage claim, follow “FHV” or “Car Service / Limo” directional signs to the designated pickup zone. Do not follow rideshare or taxi signs.

03

Find Your Spot

Locate your specific numbered or lettered spot (e.g. C1, B2, G3) based on your driver’s text message. Wait at that exact spot — drivers cannot circle terminals.

04

Text Your Driver

Once curbside, text your spot number to your driver. They will pull into your designated spot. Look for the vehicle number or license plate provided in your booking confirmation.

Need help? Our 24/7 dispatch team is always available by call or text to guide you to your driver.
