Taxi from JFK to Plattsburgh, NY
JFK to Plattsburgh is a long upstate run of about 330 miles, and the honest way to make it is flight-plus-ground via Albany, not a taxi meter. The full-drive meter figure is shown only to explain why no one should meter this trip.

The run, priced honestly
John F. Kennedy International Airport to Plattsburgh is about 330 miles, via the Van Wyck Expressway, the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, and Interstate 87 north through the Hudson Valley and the Adirondacks, roughly 5 hours clear and longer in traffic. The taxi meter on the same run works out at $1,158.00 on the meter formula of $3.00 plus $0.70 per fifth of a mile, before tolls, surcharges, and tip, and that figure is shown as the reason this trip is never metered: a booked car for a run this long is quoted per trip in writing, and a metered taxi over 330 miles is not a real option.
Your options, compared
By flight-plus-ground, the honest route: fly from New York to Albany International Airport, then drive about 150 miles north to Plattsburgh, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes on the road from Albany, or fly to Burlington and cross by ferry and road. By full drive: about 5 hours clear door to door, the right choice only for a group with a full day to spare and a reason to keep the car. By booked car from Albany: door to door from the airport to the Plattsburgh address, with the total fixed in writing before travel.
