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.

re:Thanks for your reply. We
Well, taxi is the fastest way and convenient also. You have to be at the airport at least 2 hours prior to your departure flight. Taxi ride from Manhattan to JFK takes no more than 45 min. So around 6 am is OK to leave the city.
Yellow cabs is easy to find in the city even in the early hours, but if you want to play it on the safe side - prearrange a private car(the price difference is very little, in some cases is even cheaper).

need for transfer from JFK to Philipsburg New Jersey
Hi there,
I'm arriving to JFK airport on May 17th at 10:34 and would need a ride to the address below:
43 Meadowview Drive Phillipsburg, New Jersey 08865
Can I have a quote for this service please....
re:need for transfer from JFK to Philipsburg New Jersey
As per http://nyc.taxiwiz.com/ :
"That cab ride would cost about $181.40. That is roughly $209 with a 15% tip. It is about 85.7 miles."
That is an estimate.
There is a bus called Trans-Bridge Lines that will take you right to Phillipsburg, New Jersey.The bus leaves in front of Terminal 4 at JFK. Check http://www.transbridgelines.com/sched_ny.htm
for details.

Hi We (a group of 3
Hi
We (a group of 3 adults)will be arriving on tuesday at 7:36am JFK Intl and have to catch a flight to SFO on Thursday at 10:00am from JFK.
Can you please advice which is the best mode of transport for both the times. How long does the taxi take during these times. We do not want to waste time on the public transport.
Thanks
Suman
re:We (a group of 3
I guess you want to go to the city(Manhattan) on Tuesday and come back on Thursday. Shuttle for three people make little sense since it will cost you as much as a taxi(flat$45+$5.50toll).
Traffic at 7:36 am in the morning could be very hectic.
At 10:00am traffic is not that bad.

Taxi to Stamford
I was looking to find Taxi fare for one person from JFK to Stamford. I understand there are shared vans from JFK to stamford. Is it better to book it online before hand or take one after arriving at at the airport?
re:Taxi to Stamford
You can either take a taxi(yellow cab) fro the taxi stand in front of each terminal or book a shared van at Ground Transportation(Welcome Center) counter(located in each terminal).
Use http://nyc.taxiwiz.com/ to find out an estimate yellow cab fare.
Shared van service costs around $60.00 per passenger.

4 persons and 4 pieces of luggage
Hi,
we are coming to Manhatten on April 22nd. We are 4 persons and each of us has one piece of luggage. Is it possible to take on cab from JFK to a Manhattan hotel?
regards
Markus
re:4 persons and 4 pieces of luggage
Hi Markus,
Yes, it is possible to get a cab. Just go in front of the terminal an look for the yellow taxi stand. An uniformed dispatcher will assist you taking a cab. The yellow cab ride to any point in Manhattan costs flat fare of $45 plus $5.00 bridge toll plus $0.50 surcharge. This price is for the whole taxi(NOT per passenger).
