Unfortunately they don't come to the terminals so you got to take the Airtrain to Federal Circle. (free)
Unless you manage to convince them you are AA or UAL, then the come and pick you up...
They will drop at the terminal.

You're right, the priceline guys always did better than me. I just became a creature of habit, I knew the drivers, the desk ladies, had a good time meeting half of Atlas, Evergreen, and Kalitta - they always had well catered parties for any event that was worth gathering for. Pretty nice restaurant choices nearby with a notably great Greek restaurant across the street, a lousy mall a short walk away. Van ride to the train if you wanted to go into the city. etc.
What preference qualifiers did you use for priceline?
Side question: Someone mentioned there would be no AE in Oct. I can't find an indication that there will be no AE.
