I understand it is flat to JFK, and very possibly the meter should be used to go to EWR. But I needed to reach EWR on time, and didn't care too much about being overcharged for $15. However, I do wanna know the exact rules.
I think it is very possible that I was tricked. But, it is also possible that if you get the cab by talking to the doorman of the hotel and they blow the whistle to get a cab from the hotel waiting lane, there could be special fares, which may contradicts the government rules of no flat rate to EWR.
That's why I want some opinions from you guys~
Yes I think it is a regular NYC yellow cab with signs and everything. The credit card transaction says Manhattan Checker.
If it's a yellow cab from Manhattan to EWR Airport, the driver must use the meter set to the special rate code for trips to EWR Airport. It does not matter who procured the cab for you: there are no exceptions.
