Taxi to and from Airport

About JFK Taxi Information: Taxi drivers charge a $4.50 supplement during rush hour (16:00-20:00 hrs weekly, non holidays) for a $56.50 ticket. A NY State Taxi of 50 Cent is also charged for travel within New York, but not for travel to NJ. A single ticket price applies to all travellers to one final point of arrival.

The counter must show $3.00 at the beginning of the journey (except for JFK-Manhattan $52 Flat Rate journeys). Example prices from John F. Kennedy International Airport: Amount on the counter from JFK to NYC border PLUS doubles the amount from town border to ultimate goal. Apartment fee policy:

In case more than one Manhattan point is requested by travellers, the price will be $52 to the first traveller's point of arrival. Then the counter is activated and a new journey and a new ticket price takes place. Taxi burns, grievances and found objects, please call 311. The NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission regulates cabs. In order to cut cost, taxi travel can also be shared by those travelling to similar locations.

When you have an E-ZPass in your passport and choose to use your own tag, we do NOT advise you to add the registration number to your passport.
