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.

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.

what is the fare from jfk to
what is the fare from jfk to 5 towns long island
how much does a taxi from
how much does a taxi from jfk to woodmere n.y. cost. is there a difference between day and night.
what is the double fare out of the 5 boroughs refer to
re:how much does a taxi from
From JFK to Woodmere,NY is approximately $25.
The night-time surcharge is $0.50 for rides beginning from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m.
For Nassau County: The meter will be engaged for the entire trip and the passenger will pay the standard city rate (Rate Code 1) to the county line, then the Nassau/Westchester rate (Rate Code 4) to the destination. Rate Code 4 is double the amount of Rate Code 1.
In other words - once the taxi crosses the county line , the meter goes twice as fast.
This is ONLY for Nassau county - for any other county the fare will be a set rate, pre-determined between the passenger and the driver that must be paid at the end of the trip.

6 people with luggage from jfk to time square
We are a group of 6 with one suitcase each arriving to jfk; wanted to know what our best option would be to get to times square? Would it be more economoical to get a taxi (provided they could accomodate our group), bus, subway or limo and how much would each cost?
re:6 people with luggage from jfk to time square
Take a private van (arranged at Ground Transportation or Welcome Center counter). It will cost you $80+ for the whole van. The other option is two cabs(at $50.50 each).
Or NYAS express bus($15/person).

JFK to Manhattan
Does the Flat Fare from JFK Airport to Manhattan include tipping or are you supposed to add 15%?
re:# JFK to Manhattan
The flat fare does not include the tip - it is on passenger discretion.

Hi! How much does it cost to
Hi! How much does it cost to take a taxi from JFK to
598 Broad Hollow Road, Melville, New York?? If its too expensive, is there another way to get there cheaper?
Thank you very much!
re:How much does it cost to take a taxi from JFK to 598 Broad Ho
As per nyc.taxiwiz.com :
"That cab ride would cost about $62.30. That is roughly $72 with a 15% tip. It is about 28.1 miles. "
There is a shuttle(door-to-door service) that goes from any terminal to your address in Melville. It is called Super Shuttle Long Island. You can reserve it at Ground transportation(Welcome Center) counter. It costs $58/passenger.
You can also take Airtrain to Jamaica Station($5) and then LIRR train to Farmingdale($5.25 or $7.50-peak). Farmingdale is close to Melwille(~8 miles) and you can cab that distance.
