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.

You can take NJ Transit train from Penn Station (Airtrain to Jamaica Station then either E subway or LIRR to Penn Station, or NYAS bus from terminal to Penn Station) to Edison.

in which way I can get the hudson hotel in Manhattan? how much taxi costs ? the flat rates is for each passenger or for the whole taxi ? thakn you

1.Yellow cab (from JFK to any point to Manhattan) costs flat rate of $45 + bridge toll($5.50). The price is for the whole taxi, not per passenger.
2.By public transportation:
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Howard Beach Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the green colored sign is Howard Beach one). Then take subway line A to Columbus Circle stop(cost-$7.25).Walk half a block south on 8th Ave and make right on W58th street. The hotel is another half a block down the street.
3. By shuttle:
There is shuttle(look for it at Ground transportation counter or Welcome Center) that goes to the hotel for $18.50 per person.

How much would it cost to take a taxi from JFK to Washington, DC? My flight to JFK is late and I'll miss my connection. Need to get to DC quickly. thanks

fuhgedabouddit!! Would cost you more than round trip air/bus/train combined and no taxi at JFK will take you!! Fastest is to fly from JFK to DCA-Reagan or IAD-Dulles, frequent flights Next would be NYAS bus from terminal or LIRR (Airtrain to Jamaica station) to Penn Station and Amtrak to DC.
