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.

Yellow cab will cost you flat fare of $50.50 + tip. You can get one in front of each terminal, at the taxi line where a taxi dispatcher can assist you.
You can book a private car at Ground transportation counter or Welcome Center Desk at each terminal. It takes 10-15 min for the car to come. It costs around the same ($50-$55).
Stretch limo can cost ~$150 and up. Book it at Ground transportation counter or Welcome Center Desk at each terminal.

We are 4 and want to know how much it will cost with taxi to go to times-square from the airport ?
Thanks

Flat fare of $50.50 + tip.For the whole taxi.

How much would it cost to travel at 5:00 am on monday the 26th of july from JFK airport to Holiday Inn, Mount Kisco NY. (Holiday Inn Drive, Mount Kisco, NY 10549) by taxi?

Hi! My family and I will arrive on friday night (around 11pm) to JFK. We are going to 42st. How much does a taxi for 5 will cost?

Yellow cab won't fit 5 people. Go for a private car(order it at Ground transportation desk or Welcome Center) - it will cost around $50.

I took a taxi from JFK late last night to my car, which was parked at LGA. My luggage was left in the trunk, and I have no receipt to contact the driver. Does the dispatch person who put my in the cab have the Medallion number?

I know when I got in the cab (12:47 am), where (from JFK, terminal 7) and the destination was LGA Air Park.

I would really appreciate any help you might be able to give me. Thank you!

If you took yellow cab, the dispatcher should have given you a paper with the medallion number of the taxi printed on it.
The taxi dispatch service at JFK does not keep the record where each taxi is heading to.
