Cheaper to drive and Park or get a Car/Bus Service?
We are going on a cruise in August and wondered if it would be cheaper to get a ride there and back.
Parking is going to cost us about $210 (not sure if there is tax on top of that).

I assume you're leaving from NYC?
car service from Suffolk to JFK is approx $120 + a fuel surcharge - EACH way, + tip

I'm in Holbrook too. I would call and get some rates for car service service. last I took it to JFK was a couple of yrs ago. but it was $120 + fuel surcharge. do you know anyone who could give you a ride?

No, that is why we were going to park. Just thought maybe it would be cheaper or the same price.
Thanks :)

Re: Cheaper to drive and Park or get a Car/Bus Service?
We are going to Punta Cana soon (there are 8 of us) and for a van it is going to cost over $200 one way. We are trying to figure out what to do, because I dont think 8 of us, plus luggage can fit in a car for us to leave there.

You take the train to Jamaica and then there is a shuttle that runs very frequently that takes you to the terminals.
How old are your kids? You have to consider the cost of the train each way (will you be travelling during peak time??) and then you have to pay for the shuttle too! It's either $4 of $5 each way. It will be cheaper but, it might be a hassle with the kids and luggage.

They are 9 and 4 and we want to be on the ship by noon.
I think it would be a huge hassle with all the luggage.
Thanks though!
