The pickup point is not where you think
JFK has eight terminals spread around a loop road, and the curb outside arrivals is not where a pre-booked car waits. At most terminals private hire picks up one level up, on departures, or in a short-stay lot a two-minute walk away. Your driver will tell you which before you land, and it is worth reading that message rather than standing on the arrivals curb wondering.

Give us the flight number, not the landing time
A flight number is a live object: we can see it push back, we can see it land, and we can see it sit on a taxiway for thirty-five minutes. A landing time is a guess that was made yesterday. Every booking that carries a flight number gets its pickup moved automatically when the flight moves, and the waiting time that follows a delayed landing is included.

When the train is genuinely faster
We will say it plainly: if you are travelling alone with one bag to Midtown on a weekday at five in the afternoon, the AirTrain to Jamaica and the LIRR will beat any car, including ours. A car wins when there are two or more of you, when there is luggage, when it is late, when it is raining, or when the address is not near a station. Book the thing that suits the trip.
