Unit fare:

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

Taxi would be extremely expensive from JFK all the way out to Sayville so take the LIRR! Take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station and take the LIRR from there to Sayville. At Sayville station you can take a local taxi to the ferry. Airtain fare is $5, LIRR fare is $11.50 peak and $8.25 off-peak. Here's the link for the LIRR Sayville schedule. http://mta.info/lirr/html/ttn/sayville.htm

Taxi from JFK to anywhere in Manhattan is a flat rate of $45+tolls+tip.

will a yellow cab be able to fit four people, three suitcases and a wheelchair folded down?

and how much will it cost to four points by sheraton midtown times square?

Four people aree the maximum for one cab so if everything fits in the cab (trunk and seats) the cost of the taxi to anywhere in Manhattan is $45+tolls+tip. If you cannot fit everything look into a shared van, inquire at the Ground Transportation counter.

What are the cab costs from JFK to Bronx at 9.30pm 1st August 2010?

Thanks

4 of us are on delayed flight arriving at JFK at 2:00am or even later. Is there still a good taxi service at that time of night? Thanks

Taxis are available 24/7 and probably the best option at that time of night.

We are 7 people traveling from JFK 10/11/10 .Do the Taxi companies at the Airport Have Mini Vans. If Not what would be the most cost effective Transportation method from this location. Thank myou
