The drive
From Hackensack, the usual route to JFK is Route 4 or I-80/I-95 to the George Washington Bridge, then the Cross Bronx toward Queens. From Hackensack, Newark Airport is usually quicker (25–45 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.
