How to avoid taxi scams at John F. Kennedy International
- ONLY use yellow cabs from official ranks — anyone offering rides inside the terminal is illegal + often dangerous.
- Flat rate to Manhattan is $70 + MTA surcharges + tolls + 15-20% tip.
- Rideshare surge pricing peaks 5-9 PM — taxi flat rate is often cheaper then.
