Flat Confirmed Price, No Surge, Instant Online Booking, 24/7
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.
What to Expect on This Route
The tunnel, the Turnpike and the terminal shape this trip.
The Usual Route
Lincoln Tunnel from Midtown, Hell's Kitchen and the West Side, Holland Tunnel from SoHo, Tribeca and the Financial District, then the New Jersey Turnpike to the airport exits.
Typical Drive Time
About 35 to 55 minutes from Midtown outside rush hour. Tunnel backups at rush hour can add 30 minutes or more.
When to Book Your Pickup
Airlines ask you to arrive 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one. From Midtown, most riders book a pickup 3 to 3½ hours before a domestic departure and 4 to 4½ hours before an international one.
Free Waiting Time
International arrivals at Newark often clear customs slowly, so waiting is free for 60 minutes after landing (45 for domestic), counted from the actual landing time.
Meeting Your Chauffeur
Text or call your chauffeur once you have your bags; you'll have their name and number before pickup. To be met inside with a name sign, add meet & greet for $30.
Terminals A, B and C
Terminal A opened new in 2023, Terminal B is being renovated, and Terminal C is mostly United. Your flight number tells us which one.
