Taxi Costs: What To Expect When Traveling for Business or Pleasure

Taxi fares, particularly for traveling to and from the airport, are often governed by local laws. For instance, the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission establishes set cab fares from NYC to Newark International Airport (regular metered rate of fare, plus a $17.50 surcharge and all tolls) and Manhattan to John F. Kennedy International Airport ($52.00 plus any tolls).
However, the actual cost of a cab fare can vary significantly across the country and across the world. To avoid “sticker shock,” we have compiled a list of the average taxi costs for several popular business travel destinations:
National Destinations
- LaGuardia International Airport to Manhattan: $25 to $37
- O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport to Downtown Chicago: $24 and $18, respectively
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Beverly Hills: $42
- Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Downtown Atlanta: $30
- George Bush Intercontinental Airport to Downtown Houston: $52
- Boston Logan International Airport to Downtown Boston: $20 to $25
International Destinations
- London Heathrow International Airport to Central London: $60 to $115
- Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Central Paris: $60 to $100
- Narita International Airport to Downtown Tokyo: $147 to $235
- Madrid Airport Barajas to Downtown Madrid: $27 to $34
- Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Downtown Shanghai: $25 to $32
- Hong Kong International Airport to most Hong King destinations: $27 to $38
It is also advisable not to accept offers of transportation from solicitors in the terminal. In most U.S. cities, the practice is illegal and, therefore, only used by unlicensed and uninsured operators. Most airports have taxi stands, which only accept authorized transportation providers.
