Ok f he is not from the US and klsnds at JFK st 10pm he'll have bags to wait for and don't forget customs. He'll miss any trains to Manhattan and NJ might want to take a tsxi into Manhattan to the Jersey side of the crossing like The GW bridge or Lincoln Tunnel where both Uber and Lyft would be cheaper.
Remember Ubers and Lyft when in different states can't pick up return rides so if a Uber from JFK the driver get nothing coming back

Other thing is sit at the airport s couple hours and sleep then be get transport at 6 am.

Not true. An Uber with a NYC TLC plate can pick up drivers in Jersey, but Jersey drivers can no longer pick up in NYC without a TLC. I've gotten NYC TLC drivers MANY times. I once got picked up in Jersey by a TLC going to JFK and the driver explained the rules to me during the hour car ride. I used to live in Jersey right outside the Lincoln Tunnel and have had many TLC Ubers out in that area. I sometimes get them now out in the suburbs about 45 minutes from Manhattan, 30 minutes from Brooklyn, and 8 minutes from Staten Island.
