Last couple of times we went to NYC we just jumped in a cab from the airport but that was a while back. Since then in the US I’ve booked an Uber, but I was reading they’re losing drivers.

So – Uber, cab or book a limo?

Just back from JFK. I took at taxi from the airport but a colleague took an uber. The Uber was cheaper and wait time ( 10 mins) was shorter than the taxi queue. Didn’t notice any shortage of ubers during my trip.

Why not ditch cars entirely and go with Blade? 😉 https://www.blade.com/p/jfk

Sadly, Blade’s $195 fare isn’t available at weekends. Unless you’re travelling light, you’ll also have to be separated from your luggage which may not work well.

No queue at all for a yellow cab when I arrived in JFK last weekend. It’s a fixed fare of $52 plus taxes, tolls and tip. Be careful with Uber’s surge pricing; I had a cost estimate for a trip from the Financial District to Mid Town of nearly $100 – it would have been cheaper to take a yellow cab to the airport and jump out half way.

I replied to this earlier but it seems to have been lost in moderation. The $195 rate doesn’t apply at weekends. You also need to send your baggage separately unless you’re travelling light, which may be inconvenient. Apart from these two snafus, it would be a great option.

Yep, 10pm on a Friday is also outside their lower price window. Shame as I’d have been totally up for a helicopter flight into Manhattan at night
