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.

Idea about the rate
Would like to have an indication (cab) for the following: From JFK to 850 Paterson Plank Rd.East Rutherford, New Jersey 07073 USA for 3 persons. Is there a 'straight' connection with a bus?
Nothing direct from JFK
Nothing direct from JFK other than taxi which would probably cost you close to $100. The NJ Transit Route 164 bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal makes stops in E. Rutherford.
Do you know if there are

Booked for weekend 29th July to 1st August for family wedding in NY. 6 adults, 1 3yr old and 1 1yr old. How can I book vehicle big enough to take all of us to Marriott Brooklyn Bridge - do we need car seats for infants.
You can inquire when you
You can inquire when you arrive at the Ground Transportation counter about a vehicle larger than a regular taxi to take all of you. If you are able to bring an infant seat with you please do.
