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.

Cab tours of NYC
More of a question than a comment - My family and I from the UK are stopping over in JFK for 3 hours before carrying on to Seattle for Christmas. Is it possible to get a cab to drive us around NYC and return us back to the airport? If so what will be ate approximate cost of this?

No way, you will need at least two of your three hour layover to clear customs and connect to your Seattle flight. Besides, travel time to/from JFK to the city is one hour each way.
Thanks for the tip buddy!

Arriving at JFK and catching
Arriving at JFK and catching the shuttle bus, my wife and I will be staying overnight at the Super 8 Motel Jamaica Hotel at 139-01 Jamaica Ave Jamaica, NY 11435. The next day we are catching an ongoing flight from La Guardia. Am I right in assuming the subway is not a good option as we'd have to travel via the centre of NY. Would a taxi be our best option for the 7 mile trip and how much would we expect to pay?
You can take the E subway
You can take the E subway from Sutphin Blvd (near the hotel) to Roosevelt Ave/Jackson Hts and transfer to the Q33 bus to LaGuardia-main terminal, 15 minutes on the subway and 30 minutes on the bus. Taxi would be fastest, 20-30 minutes and fare around $25.

At that time of night take a taxi, not public transportation. Taxis normally take a maximum of 4 persons but inquire at Ground Transportation. Cost is $45+tolls+tip. Be sure to ONLY take a NYC yellow taxi located outside Ground Transportation, DO NOT accept taxi service from anyone else or you will get ripped off.
