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.

Hi we will be coming from Orlando to JFK with Jetblue which terminal do we come into? we would then like to drop baggage of in terminal4 as we fly back to London with Virgin, a few days later, how long would it take to get to termimal 4. What is the easiest way to get to Manhatten, a yellow cab wont take 5 will it? Would it be best to book a private car for 5

Jet Blue is at Terminal 5 . Via Airtrain it will take you no more than 10 min to get from T5 to T4.
Yes, the best way is to book a private car - their fare is not much different than yellow cab and they can take 5 people. Just go to the Welcome Center( either at T4 or T5) and dial 31 or 34 on the self-service phones. Both companies have also flyers at those Welcome Centers that have discount coupons on them - take advantage on that.

How long does it take to go JFK airport from Wall street on a Monday late morning say 10.30am?

On a taxi - I would say 40-45 minutes. If there is no traffic. Usually at that time you should not face traffic but you never know in NY.

Hello
Great service here, thanks !
I'll be landing at JFK from Paris (Air France flight) at 10:20am on saturday june 19. Then going to Monticello or Bethel, NY.
Thanks to all the infos I got on this page, I can see a taxi ride or a limo would cost $220-$280 which is a lot for me.
Can you tell me if there is a bus/service operating to/from JFK that could get me there ?
Thanks a lot !

There is no direct service/shuttle to those places . One of the options that you have is to go to Penn Station in Manhattan and take Metro North train to either Midletown,NY or Port Jervis,NY. From there might be local service or a taxi to Monticello,NY
