Taxi's - How much?

Beg_mun - all your recent questions can be answered by searching this forum. Taxi fares, airports and various modes of transport to-and-from are discussed here constantly and repeatedly.

I%26#39;d recommend that everyone who has these questions search this forum for words like taxi, ';how much';, JFK, ';flat rate'; or ';flat fare'; for more info.

There%26#39;s also info on the JFK website:

Here%26#39;s a cut-n-paste from one of the previous posts.

1. The flat rate from JFK airport to Manhattan in a LICENSED NYC yellow taxi cab is $45 + tip + tolls, if any. Get in the taxi stand line (queue) and wait for the dispatcher to assign you a cab. Let the dispatcher know if you have any special needs (large group, disability, lots of luggage, etc.) and hopefully they will try to accomodate.

If you take the Queensborough/59th Street bridge to Midtown, there will be no toll. There are tolls on the Queens-Midotwn Tunnel and the Triborogugh Bridge.

All official NYC taxi are yellow, have the same license nuber on the roof light and license plate, and have a ';medallion'; (saucer-sized metal plaque) welded to the roof of their car hood. They are all metered, and you should ask for a receipt when you pay, just in case you need to track down that lost cello you left in the back seat! ;o)

2. Private livery cabs (';for-hire'; cars), limo companies, other car services, etc. charge their own rates. Check their websites for rates or call them (e.g.: www.crownlimo.com, www.carmellimo.com, etc.) to arrange for a pick-up. Or you can use the courtesy phones at the luggage carousels. If you use a car service, print out your confirmation so that the driver can%26#39;t change your fare on the fly.

3. Tipping. Usually 15 - 20% of cost of any service before any other add-ons (tax, tolls, etc.)

Search this forum for words like ';tipping'; or ';how much to tip'; or ';tipping etiquette';, and you%26#39;ll find previous discussions such as this heated debate!

4. Never take a ride from anyone in the airport terminal/luggage carousel area who offers their taxi.

Taxi's - How much?

Flat rate from JFK to Manhattan - $45.00, $4.50 toll %26amp; tip of between 15 - 20% of the 45.00, or anywhere from $7.00 to $9.00.

If the driver takes the bridge instead of the tunnel, deduct the $4.50 - you can request that they do this, will also depend on where your hotel is located. The tunnel enters the city on 33rd Steet on the east side, the bridge takes you to 59th on the east side, so if you are staying midtown or downtown it is easier %26amp; faster to take the tunnel, but you have to pay the toll.

It should be noted that not all bridges are without tolls -- the Triborough Bridge, which enters Manhattan at 125th Street, has the same toll as the Midtown Tunnel.

It should also be noted that you may direct your driver to use free bridges besides the Queensborough Bridge at 59th Street. If you are going downtown from LaGuardia, or if you are coming from JFK by way of the Belt Parkway, you may want to cross the East River by means of the Brooklyn Bridge (near Chambers Street), the Manhattan Bridge (Canal Street) or the Williamsburg Bridge (Delancey Street.)
