Consult this list of rental car companies serving JFK airport if you need to rent a car. At the arrivals level for each terminal (usually near the baggage carousel) there is either a rental car counter or courtesy telephone for each of the above companies. I discourage visitors to New York City from renting cars, unless they're planning extensive travel outside of the major metropolitan area. All Rental car claim to be New York's most trusted car rental service with brand new cars from economy cars, 8-10-12-15 passenger vans, minivans, conversion luxury vans to exotic and luxury cars and other fine cars, with locations in Brooklyn, New York, Long Island, Manhattan, JFK Kennedy & ISP, LGA, Newark and New Jersey airports. The fact is that some of the less known companies offer better deals but lack in other areas like drop off locations and quick service even when they offer delivery any time including odd hours when everybody else is closed like Saturday and Sunday. Even if you were to go with a good rental car company, parking in New York City is both expensive and difficult to find, and you will find your money better spent on mass transit, taxis or a car service.
However, if you do need to rent a car here is the most reputable companies that been around for years:
These car rental companies have lots along the Van Wyck Expressway near the entrance to JFK airport.
Shuttle bus service is available from the terminals to the car rental companies.

Driving Directions for New York Rental Car To and
From JFK Airport
The John F. Kennedy Airport is located in Queens, just off of
the Belt Parkway, (better known as the Southern State Parkway)
and also off of the Van Wyck Expressway. Both of these roads are
often backed up with rush hour traffic, so be sure to plan
accordingly before you get ready to leave in your New York
rental car. Traffic at anytime can be unpredictable in NYC so be
sure to tune into 1010 Wins radio on the AM dial for regular
traffic updates and live reports.
If you're driving from Manhattan in your New York rental car, expect at least a 30-minute travel time to JFK, but it's been known to take over 2 hours during peak traffic times, so be sure to plan accordingly. If possible, avoid taking the Van Wyck at all costs; Seinfeld had a running joke remarking on the nasty traffic on this expressway for a reason!
If you have already brought back your New York Rental car and are planning to take a cab to JFK expect a $45 flat fee plus tolls and gratuity to just about any point in Manhattan.
See our driving directions link for more information.
