JFK spreads its terminals around one large central loop, so give us the airline when you book and the driver goes straight to the right departures curb.
Stamford station (New Haven Line) is about 3 minutes from Stamford, with Glenbrook (6 min) and Noroton Heights (7 min) as backups. The catch for JFK Airport is what comes after Grand Central: the subway or LIRR from Grand Central or Penn Station and the AirTrain to the terminals. That is why most Stamford travellers with luggage book the car instead.
Neighbours book this route too: Old Greenwich (2.2 mi), Cos Cob (2.8 mi), Riverside (2.8 mi) and Darien (4 mi) are all within a few miles, and the flat rate is set by the pickup address rather than the town name.
Work backwards from the departure: 75 min of driving plus about two hours at the airport puts a domestic pickup roughly 3 h 15 min before wheels-up. Reserve by phone or text at (914) 666-7373 (6 AM–10 PM); the booking confirms the fixed flat rate and the driver. Airport and long-distance rides run 24/7 by reservation, and pickups before 6 AM must be reserved the day before.
