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.

The club is on Lakeville Rd.
The club is on Lakeville Rd. in Lake Success, probably about 15 miles and 20 minutes depending on traffic. You're on the meter so figure about $30 + tip.
Laguardia to JFK
Can you give me a more specific time that it would take to get from the one airport to the other. I have a two+ hour window to make a flight. Will this be a problem?
re:specific time that it would take to get from the one airport
Which airports do you mean?

Child seats
Hello, we are arriving in NYC next week and are thinking about using either a taxi or super shuttle to get us to our hotel in Lower Manhattan. However, we have an 18 month old toddler with us and we are confused with regard to car seats. Do either services provide them? Do we have to have one? Is it law? Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give.
re:Child seats
Yellow cabs are exempt from the state law that requires child to be in the child seat.
Children under the age of seven are permitted to sit on an adult's lap.
See the article for details:

carseats
I am so surprised by that. I am traveling to JFK with my 3year old and baby in a fortnight and would not ever travel with them on my lap. Are there recommended cabs to take or book with carseats?

re:taxi- chittle- van-limo?
Taxi is probably the best option - there are taxis with bigger baggage compartments. At the taxi line let the taxi dispatcher know your needs and ask for opinion. The taxi will cost you flat fare of $50.50+tip.
If that does not work , go inside to Ground transportation(Welcome Center)counter and ask for private van - the charge is $80 and up.
