A stretch seats 6 to 25 depending on the vehicle, is booked at $144 an hour with a 4-hour minimum, and for an airport run the per-trip written total governs.

The run, priced honestly
About 105 miles via the Thruway, 1 hour 50 minutes clear, up to about 2 hours 30 minutes in traffic.
The route runs Van Wyck and Grand Central out of JFK, over the Triboro Bridge and up the Major Deegan to I-87, the New York State Thruway, then Route 209 south into Ellenville. The city-end traffic is what stretches it; the mileage never changes, and neither does your quote.
Stretch planning is different from sedan planning: count heads and bags first, because a stretch that fits six comfortably does not fit twelve with luggage — and on a 105-mile run, the vehicle choice matters more than on a short city hop. The full-drive taxi meter — $3.00 + 105 × $3.50 = $370.50 before tolls and tip — is the honest reason a metered car is the wrong tool here. Flying into Stewart International Airport, about 40 miles south of Ellenville, or Albany International Airport, about 65 miles north, and taking the stretch the last leg is often the better plan for a group.

How booking works
For a stretch, confirm the head count, the bag count and the exact Ellenville address before you confirm the vehicle — the class is what you reserve.
Give the exact pickup address and your flight or event details, and confirm the vehicle class, the pickup plan, the waiting policy, and the total in writing before you travel. JetBlack books NYC trips online at jetblacktransportation.com/p/reservation/ or by calling +1-646-214-4828, tracks flights on airport pickups, and offers free cancellation before confirmation.

When the plan changes
Flights move and meetings run long. Flight tracking means a delayed arrival moves the pickup automatically, free wait varies by vehicle type, and you can delay a pickup by up to an hour — which stacks with the free wait to give as much as two hours of cover after the flight actually lands. Changes to flight details are yours to pass on, and the earlier dispatch hears them, the cheaper they are.
Cancellation follows the same plain rule: free before confirmation, and a flat $31 total ($25 + $5 + $1) after it. A person at dispatch — +1-646-214-4828, around the clock — can rebook you onto the next sensible car while you are still standing at the gate.
