Unlike buses and trains that are usually packed with travelers during rush hour, taxis are not and offer door-to-door service. In addition, you can store your luggage safely inside the vehicle’s trunk (unlike the case with public transport means).

Moreover, Airport Taxi Rates to Airport are relatively fast and reliable. The only downside to this mode of transportation is that it can be very expensive. For instance, a trip from JFK to Manhattan can cost up to $52. To counter this trend, the TLC is planning to introduce a flat fare for trips from LaGuardia to Manhattan south of West 110th Street and East 96th Street.

Mini Van Airport Taxi: Spacious and Comfortable Travel for Families

At the airport, there are several official taxi stands. You can find them at the arrivals level near the central exit located in front of the cloakroom, where there is a dedicated host available to assist you with your booking. You can also book your taxi online through Welcome Pickups. This service compares prices and guarantees an affordable, hassle-free and reliable airport transfer from your front door.

Note that the fares are metered and should be calculated on the electronic meter once you enter the cab. In addition, there may be an Airport Access Fee and a New York State Congestion Surcharge imposed on the total price of your ride. Additionally, you should expect to pay the driver a 15% gratuity. Payments via bank cards are generally accepted. However, some drivers prefer to be paid in cash.
