The drive
From Glen Rock, the usual route to JFK is Route 17 to Route 4 and the George Washington Bridge (or I-287 and the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge from the northernmost towns). From Glen Rock, Newark Airport is usually quicker (30–50 min), so JFK is worth it when the flight, fare, or airline is better there.
Every trip from New Jersey to JFK crosses the Hudson — the George Washington Bridge, the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel, or the Goethals / Outerbridge and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge from the south — and then a bridge or tunnel into Queens. Those tolls are included in your fixed quote, and dispatch picks the crossings on live traffic.
