What is the difference between a flat rate and a metered fare?
A New York City yellow cab uses a Taxicab and Limousine Commission regulated meter. The fare starts at $3.00, adds $2.50 per mile, $0.50 per minute in slow traffic on the BQE or Van Wyck Expressway, plus a $4.50 JFK airport surcharge, a $2.50 rush hour surcharge between 4 PM and 8 PM weekdays, and tolls on the Midtown Tunnel, Queens-Midtown Expressway, or Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge depending on your route. Gratuity is expected at 15 to 20 percent. The total is a number you see for the first time when the driver pulls up to your building on the Upper East Side or in Garden City. A flat rate from Crown Limousine is one number that includes every charge. Tolls, gratuity, meet and greet at JFK Terminal 4 or LaGuardia Terminal B, flight tracking via FlightAware, and up to 60 minutes of complimentary wait time for domestic arrivals.
What Is Built Into Every Flat Rate
Does the flat rate include tolls and gratuity?
Yes. Every toll on your route is built into the published rate. The Midtown Tunnel toll, the Queens-Midtown Expressway, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge between Brooklyn and Staten Island, the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, and the New Jersey Turnpike for Newark Airport transfers are all included. Gratuity for your TLC-licensed professional chauffeur is included. Meet and greet at the terminal with your name on a sign is included. Flight tracking through FlightAware so your driver adjusts for delays is included. Bottled water, Wi-Fi, and phone charging in the vehicle are included. There is no envelope at the end of the ride. No awkward tip conversation on the curb outside your apartment building in Manhasset or Rockville Centre. The fare on the rates page is the fare on your receipt.
Why Flat Rate Matters More Than You Think
Why is a flat rate worth more than a cheap Uber?
The problem with Uber Technologies’ dynamic pricing is not just the money. It is the anxiety. Watching the Uber app refresh hoping the surge multiplier drops below 2x before your luggage hits the JFK baggage carousel. Calculating whether the AirTrain from Howard Beach to Jamaica Station plus the Long Island Rail Road to Hicksville is cheaper than the $165 Uber sitting on your screen. A flat rate car service eliminates that entire mental loop. You know your price before your American Airlines flight from Dallas lands at LaGuardia Terminal C. You know it before you pack your bags in your hotel on Park Avenue. That certainty changes the airport experience from stressful math to simple transportation. For corporate travelers the benefit multiplies. A flat rate means the same number on every Concur expense report for the same route. No surge explanation to the finance team at your Route 110 office in Melville.

Flat Rate Routes and Starting Prices
Book Your Long Island to LaGuardia car service
No. A flat rate car service from Crown Limousine costs the same at 2 AM on a Tuesday as it does at 6 PM on a Friday. There is no rush hour surcharge. No weekend premium. No holiday multiplier. Thanksgiving eve, Christmas week, New Year’s Eve, the rate is the rate. The price is calculated by route, not by time, traffic, or demand. If the Belt Parkway is backed up and your driver takes the local streets, the price does not change. If there is construction on the Van Wyck and the trip takes 20 minutes longer, the price does not change. If your flight is delayed three hours and your driver waits at the terminal, the price does not change. The only variable is the route and the vehicle. Sedan, SUV, or Sprinter Van. That is decided at booking. Everything after that is fixed.
