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.

How do I get a cab at JFK at Jet Blue area and once I do how much to Yankee Stadium?

There is a taxi stand on the first floor, to your left as you exit the building. The yellow cab will charge you on the meter.

I need to go from the zip code 10036 ( Stay Hotel-Times Square) to jfk. I would like to know the cost of the taxi and how do i request it, is there a phone number specific for the airport taxis? Thank you.

The taxi cost is flat fare of $45+toll($5.50) + tip.
There is no specific number for airport taxis - just find the taxi stand which is in front of each terminal and a taxi dispatcher will assist you getting yellow cab.

I will be going to La Guardia Airport from JFK Airport on october 19th ( around 9am), I would like to know the usualy cost of the ride and how much should i pay for the tip for the taxi. (i don´t live in the states). Thank you.

The fare would be on the meter and it is usually between $30-$35 from JFK to LGA. The tip in this case is between 10% and 20%(which comes around $3-$7).

There's also the NYAS shuttle bus between JFK and LGA, cost is $13.
