Ernie's Taxi drives the Rye to JFK Airport run from our Mount Kisco base, 20.5 miles from Rye, so the car is already nearby when you book. Door to door it is roughly 31 miles to the airport in Jamaica, Queens. In normal traffic plan on 45–60 minutes; weekday rush hours (7–9 AM and 4–7 PM) and holiday weekends add 20–30 minutes, which is why we build a buffer into every airport pickup time.
How we go: the Hutchinson River Parkway or I-95 to the Whitestone or Throgs Neck Bridge, then the Cross Island and Belt Parkways or the Van Wyck Expressway into JFK. Our drivers run this road constantly and switch crossings when live traffic shows a backup.
JFK spreads its terminals around a large central loop, so tell us your airline when you book and the driver drops you at the correct departures curb rather than the wrong end of the airport.
The nearest Metro-North station to Rye is Rye on the New Haven Line, about 2 minutes away, with Port Chester and Harrison also close. The train gets you to Grand Central, but reaching JFK from Grand Central still means the subway or LIRR plus the AirTrain, all with your luggage. A car from Rye is one vehicle, one driver, door to door in about 45–60 minutes.
We cover all of Westchester County and run the same JFK Airport route from Harrison (1.7 mi from Rye), Port Chester, Rye Brook and Mamaroneck. Pickup is from any address: home, office, hotel or the Rye station lot.

Is Metro-North from Rye a good alternative?
