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.

Ar late May 5 UA870 about 21:15
HI
What's the best option to get the Wyndham in West 36st Manhattan.
One passenger, tied from Australia, str8 thru.
re:Ar late May 5 UA870 about 21:15
1. By public transportation:
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the red colored sign is Jamaica one). Then either:
-take subway line E to Penn Station ($7.25)or
-take LIRR to Penn Station(faster but more expensive~$10)
2. By Taxi:
Yellow cab (from JFK to any point to Manhattan) costs flat rate of $45 + bridge toll($5.50)
3. Shuttle:
There is shuttle(look for it at Ground transportation counter or Welcome Center) that goes to any hotel in Manhattan for $18.50 per person.

taxi fare to Jersey City
Hi,
we are a family of 5 (2 adult, 3 child) and need to go from JFK to Jersey City.
How much would the fare be?
Is it possible to get all 5 on one taxi? We also will have luggage with us - 2 suitcase and 3 carry on.
Many thanks
re:we are a family of 5 (2 adult, 3 child) and need to go from J
Usually the yellow cabs are limited to four passengers.
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.

JFK to HPN
What is the cheapest option to get from JFK to HPN? The flight lands JFK at 11:27 pm and my friend needs to pick up his car at White Plains. Thank you!
re: What is the cheapest option to get from JFK to HPN
The cheapest would be Airtrain+Subway+MetroNorth train.
Check with Ground Transportation counter(Welcome Center) agents - they have shuttle going there.
