Flat rate of $70. You might have some taxes and surcharges on top of that. All up you’re probably looking around $90 to $100 including tip.

Should I ask how much the fare will be before we get in or are the taxi men trustworthy?Thank you for your advice.

An official agent at the office near the exit (outside the baggage claim) will assign the taxi. We always verify the fare once we get into the taxi. Cash or credit cards are accepted by the drivers.

Thank you very much CH

The NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission provides lots of useful info on its FAQ page for passengers. Take a look at the last section on the page -- Airport Trips (LGA, JFK, EWR) -- and you'll see all the info re authorized surcharges, and, e.g., the fact that for trips to/from Manhattan and JFK with the flat base fare of $70, you should see "Rate #2 - JFK Airport" on the taxi's meter-message screen.
