The drive
From Saddle River, 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 Saddle River, Newark Airport is usually quicker (35 min – 1 hr), 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.
