Why Washington Heights travelers pre-book a car

Transit to the airports from Manhattan is possible but rarely simple: JFK means the subway or LIRR to Jamaica plus the AirTrain, LaGuardia has no rail link at all — only buses — and Newark means NJ Transit from Penn Station plus a second AirTrain. With luggage, an early flight, or a group, a car that goes door to terminal is usually faster and far less stressful.
