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.

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.

My family is ariving in JFK
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
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.

transportation to the Hilton Penn Station
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?
re: best and less expensive way to get from JFK to Hilton at PS
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.
