I am flying into JFK from Denver tomorrow morning, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get to Hoboken. I may rent a car, but being as this is an emergency trip and just booked the flight today, the car rental rates in NYC are about $300/wk, or $70/day...

I figure I can get public transportation somehow, but I'm not sure what the best way is.

Any ideas?

Thanks. :)

i think the best way for you would be to get a taxi. if you try to rent a car it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg. taxis are everywhere at JFK. Im not sure how much it's gonna cost you, but i'll find out if you want

Considering the traffic you'll hit, I'd say pretend your a reporter and grab a chopper.

I'm thinking a taxi is going to be ~$50 or so... not too bad I guess. I'm checking out maybe doing a shuttle to Port Authority and then hopping a train to Hoboken. Shuttle's about $15 or so, and I'm not sure about the train.

Taxi from JFK to Manhattan is $30 + tip. Take a taxi to Porth Authority, and jump on the bus there.

It looks like the "PATH" trains from Port Authority only cost a few bucks, so I'll probably do that

Argo has the best solution if cost is an issue. Buses run regularly from Port Authority. The bus will cost less than $2 and will take about 20 minutes tops. Cab rates are regulated into Manhattan, but crossing into New Jersey will cost you an arm and a leg.

You can also take the Path train into Hoboken. Take the cab to Christopher and Hudson Streets. The PATH is a Subway to NJ and is $1.50 each way.
