Newark Liberty International Airport has three terminals (A, B, C) serving over 48 million passengers annually as a major United Airlines hub. Terminal A opened as brand new facility in January 2023 with 33 gates, replacing the 1973 terminal. All terminals feature dedicated FHV pickup zones with clear signage and AirTrain connections between terminals.
Brand new 1-million-square-foot terminal opened January 2023. Modern, spacious facility with 33 gates across 3 concourses.
Main international terminal with 3 concourses (B1, B2, B3). 27 gates total. Customs and immigration facilities for arriving international passengers.
United Airlines hub with 3 concourses (C1, C2, C3). Largest EWR terminal with sole United occupation. United Club locations throughout.
Newark Liberty is undergoing major improvements as part of the Port Authority's $19 billion vision plan for EWR transformation:
Our chauffeurs navigate current terminal layouts and stay updated on construction-related changes as vision plan projects continue through 2030.
Reserve online or by phone, providing flight details (airline, flight number, arrival time), passenger count, and luggage estimate. Confirm your Newark terminal: United flies Terminal C (hub), international carriers use Terminal B (Air France, Emirates, El Al, JetBlue international), domestic/Canada use Terminal A (Air Canada, American, Delta, JetBlue domestic). Accurate terminal confirmation ensures correct pickup location—Terminal B has multiple pickup levels depending on airline. Booking 24-48 hours in advance ensures availability, particularly for international arrivals or holiday periods.
We monitor your flight from departure to landing using real-time tracking systems integrated with Newark arrival data. If your flight is delayed, arrives early, or gate-changes, your chauffeur automatically adjusts pickup timing at no extra charge. No need to call or text—our system handles it automatically. For international Newark arrivals (Terminal B, Terminal C international), we factor in 45-60 minute customs and immigration processing times to ensure optimal driver positioning at your terminal's FHV pickup zone.
After collecting your bags (domestic: 20-30 minutes, international: 45-60 minutes including customs), follow terminal-specific pickup instructions: Terminal A: From Level 1 baggage claim, take escalator to Level 2, exit to Pickup Area 3-4-5 curbside. Terminal B: Varies by airline—most exit Level 1 Area 2-3; Air France/Emirates/El Al/LOT exit Lower Level B; JetBlue exits Level 2 Doors 3-4-5. Terminal C: From Level 1 baggage claim, follow 'Ground Transportation' signs to curbside FHV pickup area outer roadway.
Your chauffeur assists with luggage, confirms your Manhattan destination, and selects optimal route based on real-time traffic. Primary route: New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) north to I-495 for Lincoln Tunnel (Midtown) or I-78 east for Holland Tunnel (Downtown). Alternative: Route 1 & 9 to Pulaski Skyway. Drive time: 45-70 minutes typical. Climate-controlled luxury vehicle with complimentary Wi-Fi, bottled water. All tolls included in flat rate—NJ Turnpike tolls, tunnel tolls (Lincoln $17, Holland $17), no surprise charges.
Newark Liberty to Manhattan is approximately 16 miles depending on exact destination, similar distance to JFK but requiring New Jersey Turnpike and Hudson River tunnel crossings. Drive time typically ranges 45-70 minutes depending on time of day, traffic patterns, tunnel selection, and Manhattan destination.
Mid-morning through mid-afternoon and late evening offer lightest traffic on Newark routes. NJ Turnpike to Lincoln Tunnel (Midtown) or Holland Tunnel (Downtown) flows smoothly with minimal congestion. Midtown Manhattan averages 50-60 minutes, Financial District 50-65 minutes via Holland Tunnel. Newark's New Jersey location means tolls ($17 tunnel toll plus $1.90-$5.30 Turnpike tolls depending on exit) are included in our flat rate—no surprise charges. Off-peak provides predictable timing for business meetings or hotel transfers.
Morning and evening rush hours significantly extend drive time due to NJ Turnpike congestion and tunnel backups—Lincoln and Holland Tunnels experience heavy traffic during peak periods. Allow 70-85 minutes minimum for important meetings or flight departures. We monitor real-time traffic via Waze and Google Maps, selecting Lincoln vs Holland based on current conditions. Thursday and Friday afternoon rush (4-7 PM) tends to be heaviest. Route 1 & 9 to Pulaski Skyway provides alternate when Turnpike shows severe delays.
Lightest traffic of the day—optimal for early morning flight departures from Newark. NJ Turnpike, Lincoln Tunnel, and Holland Tunnel are free-flowing with minimal vehicles. Fastest, most predictable Newark transfer window. If your flight departs 7-9 AM, we recommend 4:30-5:30 AM Manhattan pickup for comfortable 2+ hour airport buffer with minimal traffic stress. Early morning is particularly advantageous for Newark—tunnels and Turnpike congestion-free compared to rush hour gridlock.
Late evening through overnight offers light traffic similar to early morning. Ideal for international flight arrivals after midnight or red-eye departures. Roads are clear, tolls still apply but traffic flows freely. Lincoln and Holland Tunnels operate smoothly overnight. Weekend late nights (Friday/Saturday after 11 PM) may see slightly more traffic than weeknights but still significantly faster than daytime. Newark late-night transfers benefit from minimal Turnpike and tunnel congestion.
Primary route for Midtown Manhattan destinations, covering approximately 16 miles. NJ Turnpike (I-95) north from Newark Airport toward New York, exit to I-495 which leads directly to Lincoln Tunnel (toll: $17 for cars, $20-$25 for larger vehicles). Tunnel emerges at 40th Street/9th Avenue in Midtown West. Fastest route to Times Square, Midtown hotels, Penn Station, Hudson Yards during off-peak (45-60 minutes). Vulnerable to rush hour congestion—tunnel backups can add 30-45 minutes during peak periods (7:30-9:30 AM, 4:30-6:30 PM).
Alternative route for Lower Manhattan, Financial District, Battery Park City, Tribeca, SoHo destinations. NJ Turnpike north to I-78 east, which leads directly to Holland Tunnel (toll: $17 for cars). Tunnel emerges at Canal Street/Varick Street in Lower Manhattan. Better suited for Downtown destinations. Similar distance (16-17 miles) and timing (50-65 minutes off-peak) to Lincoln route. Often less congested than Lincoln during certain peak periods—flexibility between tunnels based on real-time traffic is key advantage.
Secondary route through local roads via Pulaski Skyway (historic viaduct connecting Newark to Jersey City). Used when NJ Turnpike shows severe traffic (accidents, construction). Generally slower (55-75 minutes typical) but valuable alternative when Turnpike is at standstill. Not recommended as primary route but useful backup option during major Turnpike incidents.
Our chauffeurs monitor real-time traffic conditions using Waze, Google Maps, and years of Newark route experience. Route selection considers your Manhattan destination (Midtown vs Downtown determines Lincoln vs Holland), current traffic patterns, tunnel conditions, and time-sensitive schedules. **All tolls included in flat rate**—NJ Turnpike ($1.90-$5.30), Lincoln Tunnel ($17), Holland Tunnel ($17)—no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Newark Liberty is undergoing significant transformation as part of the Port Authority's EWR Vision Plan—a comprehensive blueprint for modernized terminals, infrastructure upgrades, and improved passenger experience through 2030. Major improvements include new Terminal A (opened 2023), future AirTrain replacement (2030), and taxiway network redesign to reduce delays.
Terminal A opened January 2023 as brand new 1-million-square-foot, 33-gate facility replacing the 1973 terminal criticized for congestion and outdated design. Modern architecture with natural light, airy concourses, updated dining/retail, streamlined ground transportation access, and capacity for 4 million additional passengers annually. Three concourses (A1 south, A2 east, A3 north) serve domestic flights and Canada routes (Air Canada, American, Delta, JetBlue, United Express). FHV pickup at Level 2 Pickup Area 3-4-5 with clear signage. Completed project with no ongoing construction delays.
Port Authority will replace the current AirTrain Newark with modern 2.5-mile automated train system by 2030. Current system serves 33,000 passengers daily (12 million annually), connecting all three terminals, parking lots, rental car facilities, and Newark Liberty Airport Station for NJ Transit and Amtrak Northeast Corridor access. New system accommodates forecasted 50% ridership growth by 2040, improves reliability, and reduces wait times. Critical for passenger movement between terminals and rail connections to Manhattan Penn Station.
EWR Vision Plan charts comprehensive airport reimagining with modernized roadway network redesign for intuitive traffic flow, improved pickup/drop-off areas, and expanded terminal access. Taxiway network improvements accommodate more aircraft and reduce ground delays—addressing Newark's historical congestion issues. FAA extended flight cap through October 2026 (72 flights per hour) to ease delays while infrastructure upgrades continue. Result: improved on-time performance (now on par with JFK and LaGuardia), reduced congestion, streamlined ground operations. Ongoing improvements through 2030.
Despite ongoing Vision Plan projects, Newark operates 24/7 serving 48+ million passengers annually as United Airlines' second-largest hub. Our chauffeurs navigate terminal roadways daily, receive construction updates, and provide current pickup instructions for your specific terminal and flight date. Terminal A completion in 2023 eliminated major construction delays at that terminal. Remaining infrastructure improvements (AirTrain, roadways, taxiways) have minimal passenger impact.
Specialized Newark airport transportation with terminal-specific knowledge, toll-inclusive pricing, and direct Manhattan transfers via Lincoln or Holland Tunnel.

Generous complimentary wait time: 60 minutes for international flights (customs and immigration buffer for Terminal B and Terminal C international arrivals), 30 minutes for domestic flights. Wait time starts when flight lands, not when you're ready—realistic buffer for baggage claim, customs queues, and terminal exit. Terminal B international arrivals often take 50-70 minutes from landing to pickup zone after customs processing. Industry-leading wait time policy ensures no rush, no pressure.
Flat rate includes ALL tolls: NJ Turnpike ($1.90-$5.30), Lincoln Tunnel ($17 cars, $20-$25 SUVs/vans), Holland Tunnel ($17 cars). No surprise charges, no billing adjustments. Competitors often quote 'plus tolls' rates requiring passengers to pay tolls separately—our flat rate is transparent and all-inclusive. Critical for Newark transfers where tunnel tolls and Turnpike fees can add $20-$25 to base fare. What you see is what you pay.
Chauffeurs know exact FHV pickup zones for all EWR terminals: Terminal A Level 2 Area 3-4-5, Terminal B multi-level (varies by airline—Level 1 Area 2-3, Lower Level B, or Level 2 Doors 3-4-5), Terminal C Level 1 Ground Transportation. Critical knowledge for Terminal B where different airlines exit at different levels—passengers unfamiliar with procedures often confused. We provide clear instructions 24 hours before flight and text precise location upon landing. No confusion, no missed connections.
Chauffeur meets you inside terminal at baggage claim (domestic flights) or outside customs area (international flights) with professional name sign. Assists with luggage and escorts to vehicle at appropriate terminal pickup level. Ideal for international Terminal B arrivals navigating customs, families with children, travelers with heavy luggage, or VIP guests requiring white-glove service. Particularly valuable at Newark where Terminal B international processing and multi-level pickups can be complex for first-timers. Available 24/7 at all terminals.
