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.

taxi or car service?
I'm arriving at JFK with two young children at 12:15pm. I need to get to Bloomfield NJ. Should I take a taxi or do a car service? Which is cheaper? Also, if a car service is recommended, which one should I trust? Thanks!

WHAT IS THE CLOSEST ESTIMATED COST FOR TAXI
Noticed that all of the cabs in town recently had minimum tip of 20% when I used my card to pay. What is the closest estimated cost for a taxi JFK to 160 Central Park South, NY, NY including tolls and 20% tip
Fares to Manhattan from JFK
Fares to Manhattan from JFK are flat rate $45+tolls+tip. Toll is $6 and tip is 20% for good service. So I'd estimate around $60.

We need a large taxi (van) from JFK to Manhattan. (44th west street) Do you charge more if the taxi is larger? My friend is in a wheelchair and with all the luggage I do not think that it all fits in the small cab. How much would it be then? Many thanks in advance.
Travel with a baby
Hi, we will be arriving at JFK and need transport to a hotel in Manhattan. We are a family of two adults and one baby (13 months old) plus three suitcases. What transport options are available that provide a car seat for the baby as we will not have one with us as we are travelling internationally? Thanks

Taxis do not provide car seats. Inquire at the Ground Transportation counter for other alternatives, such as shuttle bus to a location near your hotel. You may want to consider taking your car seat from home to use as baby transport, many travelers do this so they can trvel in taxi or private car.
