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.

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.

Taxi would cost about $25.

Hi,

we are a family of 5 flying into JFK on July 25th arrive at 9am. Our connecting flight to Copenhagen is at 7pm. We would like to take a taxi to Statue of Liberty and after that take another taxi to Empire State Building. Can you please advise, cost and best route and if this is advisable time wise. On another subject I would assume these 2 places would be the best places to visit being our first time in New York. Thanks

We are a 4 people family, i need to go from JFK and Madison Avenue, Larchmont 10538, which is the average fare for this trip? Thanks

flat fate of $50.50.

You will be able to take a private car from JFK(since an yellow cab won't accomodate 5 people); arrange at Ground transportation(Welcome Center) at any terminal. The price will be flat - around $55-$60 for the whole car. To go to the Statue of Liberty the car has to drop you off at Battery Park(the most southern tip of Manhattan) where you will take a boat ride to the Statue of Liberty.
