How long is the drive from Newark Airport to Midtown?

Without traffic, Newark Airport to Midtown is about 30 to 32 minutes and 15.5 to 17 miles, by routing estimates for the three trips below. The Lincoln Tunnel lands you at West 39th to 42nd Street, a few blocks from Times Square. Rush hours, show nights and events at Madison Square Garden add time, so plan for more.

TripDistanceDrive time without traffic
Terminal B to Madison Square Garden16.0 miabout 31 min (estimate)
Terminal A to Rockefeller Center16.8 miabout 32 min (estimate)
Terminal C to the Marriott Marquis, Times Square15.7 miabout 30 min (estimate)

Drive times are estimates (OSRM free-flow routing with no traffic, checked Oct 30, 2026). Traffic varies, and rush hour, weather, tunnel delays and airport construction add time.

Which route does the chauffeur take, and what tolls apply?

Midtown trips from Newark almost always use the Lincoln Tunnel. The chauffeur takes US 1 and 9 north from the airport, then Route 495 through Weehawken to the tunnel, which comes out in the West 30s and 40s near Port Authority. From there it is a few blocks across town to your hotel or office.

Road or crossingWhat it does on this tripToll
US 1 and 9Main road north from the airportNo toll
Route 495Approach to the Lincoln Tunnel through WeehawkenNo toll
Lincoln TunnelCrosses the Hudson to Midtown WestToll entering New York
Crosstown streets in the 40s and 50sLast blocks to Times Square, Rockefeller Center or Madison Square GardenNo toll

The Port Authority collects the Lincoln Tunnel toll only from drivers entering New York (panynj.gov), and it is already in your price. All of Midtown below 60th Street is in the MTA Congestion Relief Zone, where black car trips carry a $0.75 charge per trip (MTA). That is in the price too.

Car service, train or bus from Newark to Times Square?

For Midtown, the train and the express bus are the usual alternatives. NJ TRANSIT reaches Penn Station in about 30 minutes, with the AirTrain fee included in the fare, and the Newark Airport Express stops at Port Authority, Bryant Park and Grand Central in about 50 minutes. A car takes you from your terminal pickup point to your door.

Where will the chauffeur drop me in Times Square and Midtown?

Times Square is busy at the curb, so the drop-off point matters. Broadway through Times Square has pedestrian plazas, so cars stop on the side streets or at hotel entrances. Give the hotel name, or the building and its entrance, and the chauffeur takes you to the closest legal stop to the door you want.

Midtown drop-offTip
Times Square hotels such as the Marriott MarquisGive the hotel name; the car uses the hotel entrance or the nearest side street
Rockefeller CenterName the building or the street side, such as 30 Rockefeller Plaza or Sixth Avenue
Madison Square Garden and Penn StationSay Seventh or Eighth Avenue; event nights close lanes near the Garden
Offices in the 40s and 50sAdd the lobby entrance and cross street in the notes

Is Newark Penn Station the same as Penn Station in Manhattan?

No, and the mix-up is common. Newark Penn Station is in downtown Newark, New Jersey, a short train ride from the airport. Penn Station in Manhattan sits under Madison Square Garden on Seventh and Eighth Avenues. If you are going to Manhattan, enter the Manhattan address, and we price the ride to the right station.

How does waiting time work?

Waiting time depends on the pickup. Home, hotel and office pickups have a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. Airport arrivals have a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing, counted from when the flight lands, and every airport pickup includes flight tracking, so an early or late flight moves your pickup with it.

Pickup typeGrace period or wait time
Regular pickup (home, hotel, office)15 minutes
Domestic flight arrival60 minutes after landing
International flight arrival90 minutes after landing
Flight trackingIncluded on airport pickups

See the wait time policy for the full terms, and add meet and greet if you want the chauffeur inside the terminal.

Match the vehicle to passengers and luggage.

Match the vehicle to your group and bags. An Executive Sedan seats 2 and a Luxury Sedan seats 3, for light luggage. Both SUV classes seat 6 and suit families or a team with suitcases. For a larger group on one flight, the Jet Sprinter seats 10 and the Executive Sprinter seats 13, quoted on request.

Read the child seat policy and our family car service page.

Can I book a multi-leg trip?

Yes. A multi-leg trip puts several stops or legs on one booking, such as a hotel check-in near Times Square, then a meeting at Rockefeller Center. Add each stop at /book and the all-in price covers the whole trip. If the car should wait at a stop, hourly service at $120 per hour, 3-hour minimum, may fit better.
