Airport Taxi or Limo/Taxi - JFK to Jersey City
Arriving at JFK from the UK in April with my family (5 people). Due to the lateness of our arrival I have decided to take a limo or Taxi to our hotel, the new Westin in Jersey City.
For a Jersey City Limo/Taxi, the cheapest quote I've had is $108 (includes tax, gratuity & tolls) for a SUV from a company called Trinity Limo based in Hoboken 201-333-2244. Has anybody used these guys? I can't find any feedback on this company.
Any other recomendations for reliable companies in Jersey City? The feedback on other Limo/taxi companies seem's to be very mixed. However, I've read some good feedback about Budget taxi's 201-222-8000!
Another option is to take a yellow mini van taxi at JFK. Are there many of these larger taxi's at the airport? or is it likely that I will have to wait a while?
Regarding the fare I believe the likely charge would be around $80 plus gratuity & tolls? Anybody done this journey in a yellow cab?
Still not sure what to do - thanks in advance for any info.

Honestly Phil, you should have flown into Newark Airport. It'd only be about $40 from Newark. If looking to save $, you can take public transportation from JFK to JC...it would just take quite a bit of time.

Take the bus to Newark Airport and get a taxi from there? Isn't there a train as well?

I did it in a yellow cab once, $90- plus tip and toll, I think. I only had to pay the tip, the airport paid the fare. |

You could rent a car and drive yourself but personally I would rather spend the extra $30 and get a taxi. I'm a chicken though and don't ever drive through NY city.

One wouldn't even need to drive through Manhattan. It's easier to go via Staten Island. |

We use the "Budget Cab Co." The $25 flat-rate service for nearly every departure and arrival to and from Newark International Airport from Port Liberte is always prompt, polite, and inexpensive. No complaints.

They have 5 people plus bags I am assuming.
Save yourself a headache and just book the car service. I have had to take car services to JC from JFK and it's usually 80 plus tips and tolls.
The chances of you coming upon a mini van yellow cab aren't great and who wants to deal with waiting around at that hour after such a long flight.
