Is a town car or a taxi a better way to get from JFK to midtown Manhattan? -

For 1 person with 1 suitcase, would it be better to schedule a town car or just get in line for a taxi at JFK on a Saturday morning? Carmel, Dial7, and A1 New York Limo all seem to be about the same cost as a taxi.

JFK is a $45 flat rate plus tips and any toll. You can find out what the car rates are. The other car companies might have a few more comforts and luxuries.Not sure if it s an option you re interested in, but just for consideration, there are some very good public transportation options. The AirTrain costs $5, runs almost constantly, and it ll take you to Jamaica Station in about 10 minutes. With elevators, escalators, and so forth, you can get to either the E/J/Z subways, or the Long Island Rail Road. Using the CityTicket option, the LIRR fare to Penn Station is $3.75 on Saturday and Sunday, and it ll get you there in 20 minutes. Trains run through Jamaica very frequently. If your hotel is near Penn Station, this is an idea that might be worth strong consideration. If it s near the subway but not near Penn Station, the E train will probably be helpful. Just a thought, and my apologies if this is information you re already aware of and have already decided not to use.

Well, if money s no object, and the rate s about the same anyway, get the Town Car. It s gonna be more comfortable, and the driver will be waiting for you and can help with your bag!Good luck!...

I used a H2 limousine last year for my roomate s bachelor party. Although I m not near New York, I found a complete directory of resources here: http://www.limoservicepro.com/New-York-L�� Maybe one of your nearby limo companies can help give you suggestions for your event.Good Luck!
