Best affordable car service JFK to Manhattan

kosie

Hi Guys,

As the title says. We are a family of four with four bags of luggage. One company quoted us $170 for the trip and I feel I should get away cheaper :)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

There’s a fixed fee for a taxi from JFK to Manhattan AFAIK. It’s $52 for the fare, irrespective of numbers.

We always used to use either Carmel limo or Dial 7 but I haven't been in NY for years now so I don't know what their current rates are but they're both still operating.

Thanks for that. I see see Carmel is $77 for one trip - a lot less than the $168 of the other quote :) I will consider them and the taxi as well.

This will be our first time there, so I want to do it the easiest way possible :)

Oops!

As said above, it's a flat rate of just over $50 plus toals. i did that exact same trip the opposite way last year.

We looked on booking and booked it for 150ish return I think. We are arriving in the evening so it's worth it.

Flat rate with the yellow cab. $50 I think. Did it 2 weeks ago.

You could seeing there is a cab company that all the Irish use in Queens, I lived in the Bronx and a lot of the Irish used Break for the Border cabs. If they hear the Irish accent they may go easy on you.

Just use the taxi rank

were the quotes tax included or excluded?

The taxi rank is the cheapest. Maybe $64 including tolls. We gave him $80 recently.

I travel to JFK a bit with work and always use Uber which is handy to set up on your phone regardless as it's a better way to get transport while there.

Are Ubers allowed on to the grounds of JFK out of interest? I have been to airports before that do not allow Uber drivers pick passengers up at the airport.
