Greg, if you take a look at
http://www.ny.com/transportation/airports/JFK.html you will find that:
TAXIS into the city take anywhere from 30-60 minutes. They cost $30 to
Manhattan NOT including bridge tolls and tip (these are an additional 4
dollars). Taxis are cash only. Make sure to hail a cab in the designated
areas or ask a uniformed airport employee to help you. Generally, it's
polite to tip at least a dollar per bag if the taxi driver assists you.
The link also goes into the business of hiring a car:
CAR SERVICE:
For a little more than a taxi, you can have excellent service in a limo
or sedan. Services such as opening doors, helping with luggage, curbside
assistance, airport baggage claim greeting, suit & tie attire, and
advance reservations are all standard.
