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 much cost to 49 Patriot Hill Drive
Basking Ridge, NJ 07920?

Can you please tell me the cheapest way to get from JFK to Queens (Howard Johnson Express Inn - Queens
65-09 Queens BlvdH,Woodside, NY 11377 US)- for four persons? I heard about the super shuttle, but the taxi doesn't seem expensive either, or am I wrong? Thanks a lot!

If Super Shuttle takes you there it will be more expensive that taking a taxi. Taxi(yellow cab only) will be on a meter and it will cost you ~$30-$35 for the whole taxi.

How much a taxi costs from Princeton, Newjersey to JFK Ariport, Newyork? including tolls.

Try one of the local Princeton shuttle/limo services or State Shuttle, will be much cheaper than taxi.

Could someone please help me figure out fare from :

JFK to Hilton, Long Island

and

Hilton LOngIsland to Manhattan

Thanks

Which Hilton on Long Island, what town? There are quite a few Hiltons on Long Island!!

Would like to know how much it costs to take a cab from JFK airport to Cape Liberty Cruise Port, New Jersey, including tunnel/bridge tolls and tip. Travelling date is Sunday Jan 2, 2011. Thank you! Helga

Figure around $100.

We are arriving friday at 19.20 and need to go to our hotel at Long Island City (New York), NY 11101.
What is the best way to get there? And what will the costs be?

Where in Long Island City is your hotel? There are multiple subway stops on multiple subway lines in this area. Taxi is direct, will cost around $50. Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica Station is $5 and subway is $2.25. E subway from Jamaica to Queens Plaza and transfer there to the Church Ave.-bound G subway to 21st St. will put you in the heart of Long Island City.

Hi,

I'm looking to travel from COURTYARD MARRIOTT W ORANGE
8 ROONEY CIRCLE, WEST ORANGE to JFK to catch an international flight to Australia (via LA) - Delta Airlines.
Coulds you tell me please
1) the approx cost of a taxi
2) and the travel time I need to allow if the flight leaves miday on a friday from JFK ?

Thanks,

Zana

Figure at least $100, allow two hours travel time just to play it safe.

We are flying out of JFK back to Australia. Our last destination is Rhode Island. Will we be able to get a taxi from Rhode Island to JFK and any idea of costs would be appreciated. Cheers.

Taxi would be VERY expensive. Consider taking a bus or Amtrak train from Providence to Penn Station-NY. From there you can take either E subway or LIRR to Jamaica Station and Airtrain from there to all terminals. Airtrain/subway is $7.25, Amtrak is about $40, bus is likely cheaper.
