i would definitely bring the ipass.
the nyc metro version is called ez pass.
i do know for us, we need to let the ez pass folks know the license plate of the car designated for that transponder.
is that the same policy u have with your ipass? even for out-of-state rental cars?
jfk->orangeburg at 4pm on a friday is a very long and heavily trafficked trip. u need to go north across the boro of queens, then west over triboro bridge up north to the gw bridge, west over the bridge then north up to orangeberg. a bad weather day or a traffic headache and the 75min can easily be 2hrs.
jfk->van wyck (terrible road especially in traffic) ->grand central -> triboro/robert kennedy bridge ->major deegan thruway->geo washington bridge->palisades parkway->orangeburg exit 7...i think
880am traffic reports on the 8s 5:08
1010am traffic reports on the 1s 5:01
1130am traffic reports on the 15s 5:15
with all of this emphasis on traffic, please try to remember nyc is great. enjoy yourself if u manage to get into town and not just drive thru it!
pm me if u want really detailed traffic thoughts.
be well
