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.

This is a Manhattan zip code
This is a Manhattan zip code (upper Manhattan-Harlem) so the taxi fare would be flat rate $45+tolls+tip. You can also reach that area by public transportation (Airtrain to subway $7.25).
Thank you very much!!
Thank you very much!!

If it is Kimberly Hotel at 145 East 50th Street, then the yellow cab will take her on flat fare($50). No need to pre-book a taxi.

Can you please tell me if
Can you please tell me if one needs to book a cab for this trip and if not, where do we pick up a cab. Are there specific cab companies which we should look out for to get these rates or would the rate be the same regardless of which cab company we use.
Your early response would be appreciated as today is my last day in the office with access to e-mail.

There are always cabs
There are always cabs available at Ground Transportation at the NYC yellow taxi dispatch area. ONLY take the NYC yellow cab. DO NOT accept transportation from anyone else claiming they can take you where you need to go, they will rip you off.

Can my friend get a taxi from LI to JFK
If my friend gets a Taxi to JFK to spend time with me during my stopover will I be able to go out and pay the taxi for them? Will the taxi accept my credit card? Can they book one of the JFK cabs so they know they take credit cards?
Thanks in advance:)
re:If my friend gets a Taxi to JFK to spend time with me during
You can do that as long as you meet the yellow cab as it arrives and your friend has to make sure(before the trip) that the taxi takes credit cards.
Or you can order a private car and pay for it with your credit card either online or over the phone.
Here are two of the private car's web sites that serve JFK:
