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.

Are taxi contains enough room for 4 people with luggage. And assuming that they travel to the same hotel in Manhattan will the total price be $ 45, so each will pay about $ 11

What will be the expected cab fare from JFK to Newark Penn station on a Saturday morning (10 AM)?
Any toll chanrges on the way?

Around $75+tolls. You can also take a taxi to Penn Station-NY for $45+tolls+tip and take NJ Transit train to Newark-Penn. Public transportation will also get you to NY-Penn; AirTrain from terminal to Jamaica Station ($5), transfer to LIRR to NY-Penn Station ($3 "City Ticket" fare on weekends), then take NJ Transit train.

i lost my mobile phone in one of the yellow cabs from jfk i know the number of the cab but how do i go about finding out if my phone was found?

We are a party of 4 arriving at midday on Sunday 28th May. Can you usually get a taxi straightaway or is there a waiting line - if so, whats the average waiting time.

It's a crap shoot, sometimes there's no wait and other times there's a 15 minute (or longer) wait.

BE CAREFUL with the company N.Y.C 2 WAY INTERNATIONAL. I Took a taxi with this company and they deceived me. The driver said me the price was only U$ 55,00 JFK to Uptown, but he did pay the parking, toll and I needed to pay U$ 134,00 . So this company make me a fool and they dont have respect with customers. The price was expensive than normal taxis and Shuttles. SO BE CAREFUL.

Reminder to ALWAYS take a yellow NYC taxi at JFK. Never accept taxi service from others as they will rip you off, as what happened to this person.

How much for a taxi from jfk to 3934 21 Street, Queens.

Around $45.

we are supposed to arrive on July 28, 2011 at 2.30 pm to JFK. We're a party of 6 (5 adults + 1 child) :

Taxi to Manhattan is $45+tolls+tip, however taxis will only take a maximum of four persons. Inquire at Ground Transportation counter for a larger vehicle. Taxi from midtown to Newark Airport is around $60.

How much would a taxi cost from JFK to West 39th Street Times Square? I would be arriving around 330pm on a Friday

Flat rate to Manhattan $45+tolls+tip
