Newark Airport (EWR) to Manhattan car service: price, drive time and pickup

How much is a car service from Newark Airport to Manhattan?

Fares start from $149 in a Business SUV and $219 in First Class, and the exact fixed fare for your address is shown before you book. Tolls, taxes, parking and gratuity are inside the quote, so there are no extras on arrival.

Because Newark is in New Jersey, the route includes a river crossing, and the crossing cost is part of the fixed fare rather than a charge added afterwards.

How long does it take to get from EWR to Manhattan?

Typically 40–70 minutes to Midtown Manhattan. The fastest runs are at night and mid-morning; weekday rush hours and Friday evenings sit at the top of the range. Jersey City is 20–35 minutes away.

Add margin when you are catching a train, a meeting or a dinner reservation, and use the upper figure to plan. Your chauffeur selects the crossing based on live conditions.

Where do I meet my chauffeur at Newark?

Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a name board, or curbside if you prefer. Tell us your airline and terminal (A, B or C) at booking, and you will receive the chauffeur's name, vehicle and mobile number before you land.

Complimentary waiting is 60 minutes on international arrivals and 30 on domestic. Flight tracking moves the pickup if the aircraft is early or late.

Which is better for Manhattan: Newark, JFK or LaGuardia?

It depends on your flight and your destination. LaGuardia is closest at 25–50 minutes, Newark is 40–70 and JFK is 50–80. Newark is often convenient for west-side Manhattan and for New Jersey destinations, and the flight you want usually decides the airport more than the road does.

Can I book First Class or a larger SUV from Newark?

Yes. First Class takes up to five passengers and five bags, and the Extended SUV takes six passengers and six large cases. See the First Class guide and the capacity guide to choose.
