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.

Hi,
we are 2 persons with 4-5 suitcases want to take a taxi from JFK to Wyckoff , New Jersey on Sat 4th of Sep 2010 at about 5-6 pm. I want to know how much we should pay totally for this distance?

As per http://www.taxifarefinder.com/:

"The estimated fare is $113.88 using the rate in NY. The trip is 39.5 mi and will take 53 mins. This includes a 15% tip."

Dear, sir.
I took the taxi in the JFK airport at 11:30, 08-14-10.
It means that I went from terminal 8, JFK airport
to crowne plaza hotel by taxi.
The hotel address is 401, south van Brunt Street,
Englewood, NJ.
After I arrived at the hotel, I pay the total fare $96 (flat fare:$86 + toll fare : $8 + tip :$2) by the credit card. but he didn't turn on the meter.

At that time, I requested the receipt that it indicates the departure place and the arrival place. Because I'm in business trip and I'd like to ask the taxi fare to my company.
But If I don't have that receipt, I can't do such a thing. And I think that the taxi fare is very expensive.
Also We didn't go through the express way. I don't know why he ask me for the toll fee. Surely, We didn't go through the toll gate.

So what I wants are four things.
First, I wants to cancel the payment of taxi fare using the credit card.
Second, I wants to know what appropriate taxi fare is.
Third, Instead of cancelling the credit card payment,
I will pay by the cash.
Fourth, I wants to get the receipt.

Could you help me to do what I wants ?
How can I refund and get the receipt?

I will attached the taxi information.
Medallion : 3K17
Date : 08-14-10
Terminal : 8
Serial : 28907559
Code : 477905

please send email to me.

Hi, can you get NY taxis for 5 people? We are 2 adults and 3 children aged 13,11,7 years.

Yellow cabs will take a maximum of four persons. Check at the Ground Transportation counter when you arrive for alternative transportation.

How much will it cost to take a cab from JFK to Somerset? Is there a better way, other than the cab?
