Taxi JFK Fare
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. Taxis into the city take anywhere from 30-60 minutes. So now you don’t have to wonder if your driver is taking you the long way to make an extra buck.
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. Taxis
are cash only.
Make sure to hail a cab in the designated areas or ask a
uniformed airport employee to help you. Generally, it's polite to tip at least a
dollar per bag if the taxi driver assists you.
For destinations outside of Manhattan, consult the TLC Fare Guide. You may also want to familiarize yourself with the Taxi Rider's Bill of Rights.
