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.

I would like to know trip fare from JFK airport to 455 washington blvd , Jersey City new Jersey (Doubletree Hotel Jersey City). I can´t find a shuttle service. tks

I will be arriving at JFK Sat Afternoon at 13.25 -
from London.

Should I have time to clear immigration/collect baggage, take a cab To Newark Airport and check in for 16.39 flight to Memphis?

Thanks in Advance

You may be cutting it close! Allow anywhere from 30-60 minutes to clear customs, and at least one hour travel time from JFK to Newark. It all depends on whether your flight from London arrives on time, how busy customs is when you arrive and traffic. Good luck!

Kindly i would like to know the costs for a cab from JFK, Terminal 1 to 31-36 Queens Blvd, Long Island City, NY 11101. Are there any tolls to be paid?

Should cost you around $35 + tip, no tolls.

Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me then how the tip works in NY. What is the average tip for the aforementioned drive? Is it that it is something like 10% of the total for example?

Your tip is based on level of service provided, as in a restaurant. 15% of the total fare is generally standard however if the driver is helpful and friendly you may want to tip a little more, certainly less if rude and unhelpful.

How much is the taxi fare from JFK to Palisades NY? Thanks.

45 dollars and 5.50 dollars in tolls and tips.

NOPE, IT IS ON THE METER AND MORE THAN THAT.

how much would a taxi from JFK to Tenack NJ cost. 2 adults and 3 kids with luggage?

I will be arriving JFK during rush hour to Howard Johnson in Brooklyn (599 Utica). How much by taxi (is there a flat rate). Is it difficult to go by subway and bus?
