JFK Airport Taxi Fare

$2.50 upon entry

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.

Forget taxi, Sicklerville is in southern NJ, southeast of Philly so taxi would be hundreds of $$. Take Amtrak train from Penn Station Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica station, transfer to E subway or LIRR to Penn Station) to Philadelphia and local transportation from there to Sicklerville.

Apparently there is a fixed fare in a taxi from JFK to Manhatton.How much is it and does it include tip if not how much should I tip,Iv never been the states before and I hear its seriously expected.
I watched the Soprano's and a waiter got him self clipped over a tip.Honest!

I want to ask, how much will cost me taxi from JFK to Sea Isle City

Hi,

I will be landing at JFK at 2 pm and my connecting flight is from LA GUARDIA at 6:30 pm.
I have two Qs:
(1) Is the time sufficient to travel between the 2 air ports; I mean I have just 4.5 hours to come out of JFK and then reaching LA GUARDIA and then boarding the flight there at 6:30pm. So are 4.5 hours sufficient for the whole transition?
(2) What is the cheapest way to travel from JFK to LA GUARDIA after taking the 4.5 hours time span into consideration? Means I will have just few hours [probably 2-2.5 hours] for transiting between the 2 airports, so what is the cheapest way of doing that?

Thanks.

I will arrive on June 24,2010 , please advise me about the fee of Taxi from JFK airport to Atlantic city.
Best regards.
Nabil

i would be reaching jfk airport from india on 18th June.I have to reach St.Josephs Medical Centre at South Broadway Road, Yonkers.
I want to take REGISTERED cabs of the airport...and want to book them, how much are the charges and do i book after arriving, or from india itself over phone ??

I am arriving on 31st may at jfk nairport at 6am by AI-101. I need a taxi for two to philadelphia at 9am.Are taxis available and how much would be the cost.

Local NYC taxis will probably not take you to Philadelphia and it would be very expensive. The best would be Megabus (stop is at 31st St.) or Amtrak train both from Penn Station. You can get to Penn Station by taking the NYAS bus from your terminal or Airtrain to Jamaica Station, transfer to LIRR or E subway to Penn Station. Amtrak has frequent departures to DC which stops in Philly. You can also check at the Ground Transportation counter when you arrive for possible shuttle service.

hi how much would it cost from JFK to Best Western Riverview Inn & Suites Rahway, NJ, US

Hello. I´ll be arriving at with LAN at JFK T4 on May 31st at 8:35am. I have a connecting flight from T7 about 12 hours later. Do I have enough time to go sightseeing or shopping in Manhattan? How much is a taxi ride to Manhattan from JFK and how long does it take to get there? Or will I be better off waiting at the airport while waiting for my connection?

You will be tight for time but can certainly get to Manhattan and back. The quickest way is to take the Air Train from terminal 4 to Jamica station and then connect to the E subway line from which you can exit in midtown Manhattan. Buy a metro card which is good for both and you can do the whole round trip for around $15 US. Total time about 75 mins one way which is faster and more reliable than a cab. Make sure that you have enough time to reclear security which can take up to one hour during peak times. Suggest that you arrive at JFK 2 hours before your outbound flight.

Hello,

I'm arriving on JFK on 7th June around 14:30 pm with 3 adults. We stay at West 57th Street New York City. Can anyone advise which transportation is available.
I'm thinking of a shuttlebus or a taxi, but don't know which one is most advisable and for which costs.
Can anyone advise.
Thx

Hello,
I flew into JFK last Friday 5/21/10 and took a taxi from the airport out to Levittown, Long Island. The driver was very nice but when we were packing the taxi we realized that my 2 year old son's stroller would not fit in the back so the driver told us we could leave it up front in the passenger seat. To make a long story short, he left with the stroller (purely accidental). I didnt realize it was missing until tonight (2 days later). Any advice on the steps I can take or a number to call to retrieve it? I dont have the taxi number or the drivers madallion number. Please help.
