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.

cost please from JFK by taxis to waldorf , park ave??
thanks

Flat rate $45+tolls+tip.

We are arriving on Dec 25th at 8pm on T4. We are 6 people, Can a single taxi take us all? and which would be the price?
Thanks,

No, maximum is 4 people. You could take two taxis or ask at ground transportation about a larger vehicle and cost. Taxi to anywhere in Manhattan is flat rate $45+tolls+tip, anywhere else is on the meter.

I would be arriving at JFK airport at 6-30 AM...i need to get to Van wagenen Ave Jersey City 07306...please tell me how much time it would take me to reach there and what would be the taxi fare...

approximately $60-$65; it could take as little as one hour, could take more, it all depends on traffic.

My family is ariving in JFK nov 19 at 5pm. They need to get to NJ. What would the cost be for a yellow cab? Otherwise, what is an easy way for them to get to Manhattan?

Cab fare depends on where in NJ they are going. Figure anywhere from $80 on up. They can take a cab to anywhere in Manhattan for a flat rate $45+tolls+tip, maximum of four persons. NYAS express buses leave from all terminals to Grand Central Station, Port Authority Bus Terminal and Penn Station, cost is $15 per person. LIRR and E or J subways from Jamaica Station or A subway from Howard Beach Station, both reached by AirTrain, will take them to Manhattan.

I am going to the holiday inn express staten island from jfk and wondered how to get there and how much it will cost? is there a fixed price or are there any transfers i can arrange??

Taxi would be your best and fastest alternative, cost is approximately $80.

I am reaching JKF at 13.10 Hrs. and have to catch my next flight from La Guardia airport at 15.45 Hrs, same day. How much time and money does it take for taxi to take me to LGA ? Do I have sufficient time to reach LGA and check in timely?

Thanks

Taxi is about $30 and takes about 30 minutes. There's also the NYAS shuttle bus to LGA, $13.

It takes 20-40 mins(depending on the traffic) for a taxi between JFK and LGA at that time. You do have plenty of time for that.

I need to know which is the best and less expensive way to get from JFK airport to the Hilton Penn Station.We are traveling 4 people with a big suitcase each.
By any chance do you happen to know if this hotel provides a shuttle for guests?

None of Manhattan hotels provides courtesy shuttles to/from JFK.
You can either take a taxi, which will cost you flat fare of $50.50+tip or take Airtrain to Jamaica and then LIRR train to Penn Station(total cost ~$13/person). Given the fact that you are four , I would recommend a taxi - it will be more convenient when it comes to having bags.
