JFK Airport Taxi

Taxis are available at every terminal and there is a taxi stand where you will be directed to a taxi.

- use only taxis from the taxi dispatch booth (refuse offers for transportation from others)

- tipping is customary for good service (15 - 20%)

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.

No, maximum is 4 people.

No, maximum is 4 people. You could take two taxis or ask at ground transportation about a larger vehicle and cost. Taxi to anywhere in Manhattan is flat rate $45+tolls+tip, anywhere else is on the meter.

Cab fare depends on where in

Cab fare depends on where in NJ they are going. Figure anywhere from $80 on up. They can take a cab to anywhere in Manhattan for a flat rate $45+tolls+tip, maximum of four persons. NYAS express buses leave from all terminals to Grand Central Station, Port Authority Bus Terminal and Penn Station, cost is $15 per person. LIRR and E or J subways from Jamaica Station or A subway from Howard Beach Station, both reached by AirTrain, will take them to Manhattan.

If Super Shuttle takes you

If Super Shuttle takes you there it will be more expensive that taking a taxi. Taxi(yellow cab only) will be on a meter and it will cost you ~$30-$35 for the whole taxi.
