JFK Airport Taxi Fare

$2.50 upon entry
$0.40 for each additional unit

Unit fare:

- 1/5 of a mile, when the taxi is traveling at more than 6 miles/hour

- 60 seconds when not in motion or traveling at less than 12 miles/hour.

The taximeter willl combine fractional measures of distance and time in accruing a unit of fare. Any combination of distance or time shall be computed by the taximeter.

The fare shall include pre-assessment of the unit currently being accrued; the amount due may therefore include a full unit charge for a final, fractional unit.

Night surcharge of $.50: 8:00 PM - 6:00 AM

Peak hour Weekday Surcharge of $1.00: MON - FRI 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Tolls

Tolls enroute to destinations within New York City are the responsibility of the passenger. On all trips within the New York City, any bridge and tunnel tolls to the destination shall be paid by the passenger, who shall be informed before the start of the trip.

On all trips within the City of New York, return tolls shall not be charged except for trips over the Cross Bay Veterans, Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial, and Verrazano Narrows Bridges.

On trips beyond the City of New York, all necessary tolls to and from the destination shall be paid by the passenger.

Flat Fare from JFK Airport:

The Taxi & Limousine Commission is conducting a Flat Fare program for trips between (to and from) the Manhattan and JFK International Airport.

The flat fare is $45.00 plus any tolls. The meter will not be turned on and the night surcharge will not be added.

If passengers request multiple stops, the flat rate of $45.00 will be collected at the first stop in either Manhattan or John F. Kennedy Airport, and the meter will be turned on for the remainder of the trip. The metered fare should be collected at the last stop, from the last passenger.

There are two ways to get there:
1. Taxi - it will cost you ~$25-~$30, and it will take you there in 20-30 min.
2. Public transportation - take Q10 bus from Terminal 4 to the last stop and then Q46 bus. Get off at 188str stop.
It takes 1hr to 1hr and 30min. and it costs $2.25. Make sure you have either metrocard(you can buy it from Hudson News store on the first floor at T4) or quarters.

I will be arriving at JFK tomorrow morning...what will a taxi cost from the aiport to Brooklyn? Also, I have been told that you can take a "car" from the airport instead of a taxi. Is that an option and if so, what are the costs involved? Thank you!

Going to Brooklyn will cost you between $10 to $60 depending on which part of Brooklyn you are going to.
You can hire a private car(arrange it at Ground Transportation/Welcome Center) and they will tell you the price prior to the ride(opposite the taxi which will charge you on the meter)

My name is Sinan I will be (this week ) saturday 4 p.m in jfk airport and I want to go new jersey adelphi universty garden campus ... How much will it cost by taxi????

Our parents are arriving at terminal 4 on Friday morning at 7.30. What is the best way to reach Voorhees, NJ? what is the approximate cost of taxi? is it per person or per ride? They need a taxi, as they are old to make many changes.
how much time it takes to reach Voorhees?
Thank you
sincerely
veera

Most taxis will not go that far south as Voorhees is located in southern NJ just east of Philly. Try Dave's Best Limo at the Welcome Center-Ground Transportation. They have a shuttle to Philly that may be able to accomodate you.

Hello,
I arrive at JFK airport at 2:50pm saturday july the 3rd and I must be at the Cornell Club (6 East 44th Street NY)before 5pm as the last bus to Ithaca is at this time. Do you think I will have enough time to go there? What is the faster solution?
thank you for your answer

The fastest solution is a yellow cab - it will take you to your destination in 40-50 min.

How much will this trip cost. I am planning to go to this address as well.

Do they have taxis for 5 people to Manhatten? How does one get this?

Call "Carmel" or "Dial 7" from self-service phones at Ground Transportation(Welcome Center) counter.
JFK_E

we arrived at JFK 6 adults and a child under four years, we can take a taxi for everyone?

Not for 6 adults - request a private van in this case at Ground transportation(Welcome Center)counter.
