NYC出租车费用示例LaGuardia (LGA) does not have a flat rate — the meter runs, and fares to Midtown Manhattan are typically $35–55 plus tolls and tip. Newark Liberty (EWR) in New Jersey uses metered yellow cabs or Uber; expect $70–90 plus a $20 out-of-state (New Jersey) surcharge that appears on most routes. The PATH train from Newark to Manhattan costs $2.75 and is significantly cheaper for solo travellers.

The touchscreen terminal in the back seat accepts Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and contactless tap payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay. Cash is also accepted. Do not let a driver claim the card machine is broken — report it to the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC).
💡Always tip 20% in NYC yellow cabs. The payment terminal will prompt you for 20%, 25%, or 30% — 20% is the local norm. Drivers depend on tips as part of their income.
⚠️Never accept a ride from an unlicensed "gypsy cab" or unofficial driver at JFK or Penn Station. These vehicles are unregulated, uninsured, and the source of most tourist overcharging complaints. Only use yellow cabs from the official taxi rank or pre-book Uber/Lyft through the app.
Common NYC Taxi Scams•Unofficial drivers at JFK arrivals quoting $100–150 flat — the regulated flat rate is $70 before tolls.•Metering on the JFK flat-rate trip — the driver should NOT run the meter to JFK.•Claiming the card machine is broken to force a cash payment at an inflated rate.•Refusing to cross borough boundaries — yellow cabs are required to take you anywhere in the five boroughs.•Excessive route diversions — use Google Maps to confirm a reasonable route is being taken.
