Car Rental at JFK Airport.

Landing at JFK and already dreading the rental counter, the line, and the upsell? The idea behind Bobby is that you pick up a car from a trusted local host near John F. Kennedy International instead, keys handed straight to you, no counter and no queue. You see the price before you book, the host keeps 100%, and Bobby's fee is one flat dollar, never a commission.
