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.

Flat rate $45+tolls+tip

Would a taxi take 4 passengers with 4 bags form the hold + 4 bags from the cabin ie 4 suitcases and 4 hand luggages. From JFK to Times square

I will be travelling from JFK to the Hilton Hotel what cost would I be looking at for a yellow cab taxi???

NYC yellow cab to Manhattan is flat fare $45+tolls+tip. Anywhere else is on the meter.

How much is it to get from JFK to the Bronx...Sheridan Expressway?

Figure around $50.

Hi,

Can someone tell me the price of Taxi from JFK airport to the Best Western Hotel at 5625 O' Donnell Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21224-4630

You will not get a NYC taxi at JFK to drive you to Baltimore!! Go to Penn Station in Manhattan and take either the Amtrak train, Boltbus or Megabus to Baltimore.

It's our first time to go to NY, is it advisable to get a taxi to transport us to a hotel in Flushing? 3 adult passengers with 4 luggages (1 big & 3 carry-ons). Thanks.

This is my first visit to US arriving at JFK. I am arriving on a Saturday 6th Nov around 2pm. I am expected to go to Princeton in NJ after 20 hours in flying. How would you recommend me to get to the hotel

First visit to NY...take a taxi. It will cost you over $100 but will take you direct to the hotel. You can take public transportation from JFK to Princeton but it would be a bit confusing for a first time visitor. Inquire at the Ground Transportation counter when you arrive about a shared-ride shuttle service which may be much cheaper than taxi.

How much does it cost for a person with 3 pc baggage to reach Kearny, NJ (07032) from JFK by a Yellow Taxi? I will be arriving on 29th Dec 10.

Would 30 USD be enough for a taxi ride from JFK to Astoria, Queens, on a Wed night (after 8pm)?
