The full step-by-step on every option.
With luggage
Why a car beats the train with luggage
The train is cheap if you travel light. With bags, kids or a schedule, a private car is simpler. There's no change at Jamaica, no stairs at your station and no walk to the hotel. Your chauffeur meets you at JFK, loads the bags and drops you at the door.
