Manhattan to Newark Airport Car Service


Manhattan to Newark, Across the Hudson

Newark Liberty is in New Jersey, about 16 miles from Midtown. The trip depends on the tunnel: the Lincoln Tunnel from Midtown and uptown, the Holland Tunnel from downtown, then the New Jersey Turnpike to the airport.

The car is yours alone for the trip, with a TLC-licensed chauffeur from our network. Their name and number reach you before pickup.
