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.

maximum luggage for taxis
Hi,
Can a yellow cab accommodate two people, one suitcase and two folding bikes? Or are there bigger taxis and do they go for the same price?
Regards,
Gizzie
re:Can a yellow cab accommodate two people, one suitcase and two
It depends how big are the bikes. There are yellow cabs with bigger baggage compartments(at the same price). Once you get with your luggage at the taxi line, check with the taxi dispatcher if an yellow cab will be able to accommodate you.
If not, go to Ground transportation counter(welcome Center) inside the terminal and speak to the agents there. They will be able to provide bigger vans(of course, more expensive) for your needs.

transport (taxi) to stamford, ct
Hi
We (2) are arriving sat night at JFK and need to get to stamford, CT. Can we take a cab? How much would it cost? Do we need to reserve in advance?
Thanks for your help.
re: transport (taxi) to stamford, ct
Yellow cab will be on the meter( use http://nyc.taxiwiz.com/ to find an estimate). There is taxi stand in front of each terminal where a taxi dispatcher will assist you.
You can also book a private car on the spot(dial 31 or 34 on self-service ground transportation phones) or in advance. See those websites for details about the prices.

People carrier
Hi there
We arrive at JFK at around 10pm on Sat evening - there are 5 of us so we'd like to book a people carrier taxi to collect us. Do we need to book in advance or will there be lots of people carriers/minivans available on the rank?
Many thanks in advance for your help
Emily
re: People carrier
Hi Emily,
You can arrange a minivan after you arrive at JFK. It is pretty easy - just look for Ground Transportation counter(or welcome Center) and the agents there will book one for you. Usually the van arrives 15-20 min after you book it.

Can all yellow cabs from JFK
Can all yellow cabs from JFK to Manhattan accommodate 4 people plus 4 suitcases? Or should we arrange for alternative transportation?
re: Can all yellow cabs from JFK to Manhattan accommodate 4 ppl
Depends again on how big are the suitcases. There are minivans/taxis that accommodate bigger luggage at the same price. Request one from the taxi dispatcher.
