Unit fare:
- 1/5 of a mile, when the taxi is traveling at more than 6 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.

One of the options is to
One of the options is to take yellow cab(you do not need a baby seat) - it will cost you flat $45 plus $5.50 toll plus tip.
The other option is to take NY Airporter - express bus that will take you to Times Square(but not to the hotel) for about $15/passenger(kids are free). The same bus stops at Grand Central where you can transfer to a free shuttle to your hotel.

Actually JFK_Specialist has been polite and courteous and giving a lot of good information to those nice folks. I think people like Jake W. are here to confuse passengers and to bully on nice people who are here to help passengers in their spare time. Do people like Jake W belong here? I hate to break it down to you but no they dont.
