I find most taxis in NJ rip you off royally. It's a very big problem around here where we have a lot of bars. People don't want to pay the absolutely outrageous taxi rates (sometimes $30-40 to take you less than 2 miles away) and they drive drunk.
I've tried talking to some local politicians about establishing set rates like in NYC, but nobody has seemed to want to run with it.
You got ripped off. At the Hoboken station all the cabs line up and they will take you anywhere in Hoboken for 5 dollars, but after that, it's anyone's guess. 25 to Weehawken is outrageous...should have been 10-15 tops.
The Palisades, that should have been 25 tops.
You did NOT get ripped off. They are the standard rates (by law). Just call and ask. $5 anywhere in hoboken is an artificial price that the cabbies have to live in. Of course it depends on where in Weehawken. But what people forget is that you are really paying for the cabbie to travel both ways. A Hoboken cab cannot pick up a passenger in Weehawken or Palisdes. So they have to be compensated for that.
I'm trying to get a cab from Elizabeth NJ to Newark airport and they want to charge me $30. I only live five min away. Thats a rip off but I cant drop myself off at the airport and have no one to take me. These prices are crazy
How much would it cost from ocean grove, nj to Englewood, nj?
Why not call a few cab companies and ask? In tagging your question onto an old thread, you will get a lot of people answering the OP rather than you, not realizing it's an old thread.
