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.

A taxi to Providence from JFK would be a huge cost. You would be better going to the Amtrak website and booking a train from Penn station to Providence.

hi,

im arriving in jfk at 3 am this fryday (13th) and im going to west village, manhatan. how much would it be?

can i make a reservation for a taxi?

thank you

Taxi to Manhattan is $45+tolls+tip, no reservations necessary. Be sure to only take a NYC yellow taxi at Ground Transportation, do not accept any "taxi" transportation offers from anyone else as they will rip you off.

Could i have an email or some kind of contact address to make a complaint, briefly the taxi i was in crashed and i was over charged.

Thanks

If you were in a NYC taxi you will need to contact the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission www.nyc.gov/html/tlc

Hi, we are arriving on JFK on the 12th of July at 15.50. How much will a taxi cost us to go to H341 Broome Street, Lower East Side
Manhattan (New York), NY 10013
We are with 5 adults (5 suitcases and 5 handbags).
Thanks for your answer

Taxi to Manhattan is flat rate $45+tolls+tip. Taxi will only take a maximum of 4 persons. Inquire at Ground Transportation regarding a larger vehicle.

We arrive 22/09/2011 at JFK airport at 0800. We need to
travel to family in Great Meadows or Parsippany, New Jersey. Can you please advise us of cost involved.

Expect to pay around $100 by taxi

Taxi will not take you to Rhode Island from JFK, you will need to take a bus to Providence, RI. Inquire with Greyhound (leaves from Port Authority Bus Terminal), Megabus or Boltbus (both leave from near Penn Station) for fares and schedules to Rhode Island.
