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.

110 dollars for one way plus tip.

There is no set price, unless you agree to. It is on the meter for yellow cabs.

If they are available, you should definitely take a shuttle bus between the airports. It will only cost you $35 and be just as quick.

Customs/immigration generally takes 30-45 minutes but could take more time during the holidays. Travel time to Newark is about 1.5 hours depending on traffic. Taxi is on the meter, around $100.

Traveling from JFK to the Edison Hotel 228 W , 47th street and was wondering what would the average taxi fare be for two persons ?

Flat fare from JFK to anywhere in Manhattan is $45+tolls+tip.

hey
I want to get to the 310 Wild Ave in staten island at the 12/27 between 4 and 5 pm (arrival at 3:40 pm). what would be the best way to get there?
Thanks a lot!!

The best way to get to Staten Island is probably by taxi. It would be on the meter - expect to pay somewhere between $40 to $55.
If you want to use public transportation you have to take Airtrain to subway, then subway to Manhattan and then the ferry to SI.

Could you tell me what the fare is from JFK airport to Long Island City

How much is a trip to central Baltimore?

Forget it, it would cost hundreds of dollars and no NYC taxi will make that trip anyway. From terminal take a taxi ($45+tolls+tip) or NYAS express bus ($15) to Penn Station. From there you can take Megabus (around $20) or Amtrak (fares start at ~$45) train to Baltimore.

How much it the taxi ride from JFK to Shearton Lincoln Harbor hotel, Weehwken, NJ (about).
Thanks
Tiina
