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.

We are arrivint on October 10 2010 to JFK Airport @ 02:15 and our hotel is the Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Hotel, 2 harmon plaza, secaucus, New Jersey. We are 4 adults and an equal number of baggage. This is the first time we went to NY. Could you please advice what is the cheapest way to get to the hotel.

flate rate $45+tolls+tip

could u be as kind a taxi fare to Brooklyn, NY 11224-3979? many thanks Maya

It depends on where in Brooklyn you are going. The fare would be on the meter and it can be from $15 to $55.

how much would a cab be from jfk to financial district in manhattan...and approx. travel time on a saturday morning...thanks

Yellow cab will charge you flat fare of $45 + $5 toll . It will take somewhere between 35-45 mins.

I'm staying at a hotel in Times Square and would like to take a taxi to JFK (flat fare). How can I arrange that?

You should be able to hail a taxi on the curb in front of your hotel, or ask the hotel bellman to help you.

Hi I will be traveling from JFK on Oct 24 to the cruise terminal in Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne NJ in the morning. I will be traveling with 3 other adults and a 14 month old baby. Can you tell me is it possible to get a cab for 5, how much will it cost all inclusive, how long will the ride take and what time should be arrive to get to Bayonne by 1pm. Thanks so much :-)

The time you quoted was for JFK to EWR. I need to go to Bayonne NJ. Can you also tell me how much this fare should cost. Thanks

Bayonne is very close to Newark Airport. Figure about the same or maybe a bit less in cab fare and travel time.

Yellow cabs will only take 4 persons but you may be able to with the baby. If not Ground Transportation can assist you with other transportation options. Figure somewhere around $100 all inclusive. Travel time is about one hour but can take longer depending on traffic.

How much time will it take to get a taxi from the taxi stand, arrival time around 2.45 pm on 2nd October (saturday).

How long is the drive time between JFK to EWR ?

Will it accommodate 2 adults and 2 children (ages 5 and 3) with 5 medium sized suitcases and 2 carry-ons.

Thanks

It depends on the activity and at which terminal you will be arriving. The waiting time us usually between 5min to 30 min. Some Terminals (like T4,T5,T8) can have as much as 1 hour waiting time at peak activity periods.
It takes 1hr-1:30hrs to get from JFK to EWR.
All of you will be able to fit in a taxi(order a minivan at the same price).
