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.

I need to go from Terminal 4 to the Federal Circle. I'm traveeling alone. Ishould have two large bags and a carry-on bag. How can I use the airtrain with all these bags? Is there anybody to help with carrying the bags in and out of the train? Upon arrival to the Federal Circle, are there any carts I can use? If not, can I take a taxi? How much will that cost?

You can rent a luggage cart at the terminal and take it on AirTrain, take any train on track 1 to Federal Circle and return the cart there.

Ha. We come visit you!

We are a family of 6 that will arrive at 9 pm at JFK -how do we best get to Bronx,4535 Henry Hudson Pkwy where we have rented an appartment?

Need to get from Delta terminal 3 to British airways
Terminal 8. Senior lady w/heavy luggage and 2 1/2 hours to make it. HELP PLEASE!

Most skycaps are not able to leave their assigned terminals. A skycap could probably help you to the AirTrain at T3 and then you could find a skycap when you arrive at T8 to help you.

I am flying into JFK with 3 others on 18th April, how much would it cost us to get a taxi cost to East 120 Street NY 10035? Thanks
