Upper West Side to Newark Airport (EWR) Car Service

The price depends on the address, the terminal, the time and the vehicle class. The table shows example all-in prices from /book on a weekday morning: the American Museum of Natural History to Terminal C, Hotel Beacon on Broadway to Terminal A, and a Terminal B arrival to David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center.

Example prices from our booking engine, October 2026. Taxes, tolls and fees included; gratuity optional. Your exact price is shown before you book.

Tolls, taxes and fees are in the price, and gratuity is optional. For a taxi comparison, check the current fares on the newarkairport.com taxi page; tolls, tip and other fees are extra.

Your chauffeur picks you up at the exact Upper West Side address you enter: a prewar building on Central Park West, a brownstone on a side street, a hotel on Broadway or a building on Riverside Drive. Add the entrance, a doorman note or a cross street in the booking notes. For hotels, give the hotel name.

Without traffic, the Upper West Side to Newark Airport is about 30 to 34 minutes and 16.5 to 18 miles, by routing estimates for the three trips below. The West Side is the quicker Manhattan side for Newark, because Ninth and Tenth Avenues lead straight to the Lincoln Tunnel. Weekday afternoons in the tunnel add time.

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.

Work back from the time your airline asks you to be at the airport, then add the drive estimate and a traffic buffer. The Lincoln Tunnel and Route 495 are slow on weekday afternoons and before holidays. If you are unsure, choose an earlier pickup; your pickup has a 15-minute grace period.

From the Upper West Side, the chauffeur heads down Columbus, Amsterdam or Ninth Avenue to the Lincoln Tunnel, then takes Route 495 and US 1 and 9 south to the airport. On the way home, the tunnel brings you into the West 30s and 40s, and Tenth Avenue or the West Side Highway lead uptown to your address.

The Port Authority collects the Lincoln Tunnel toll only from drivers entering New York (panynj.gov), so it applies on the ride home, and it is in the price. The New York State congestion surcharge ($2.75 for a for-hire trip) applies only to trips that begin and end in New York State, so a trip to or from Newark does not carry it (NYS Tax Department).

On the ride home, the meeting point comes first. The chauffeur tracks your flight into Newark, so you can collect your bags before you call. The default pickup is the arrivals curb at Terminal A or B. At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. With meet and greet, the chauffeur waits inside with a name sign.

1. Add your airline and flight number when you book. The chauffeur tracks the flight from takeoff.
2. After landing, collect your bags at Terminal A, B or C and call 888-887-0324 or the chauffeur number in your booking.
3. At Terminal A or B, walk to the arrivals curb. At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3.
4. With meet and greet ($25), the chauffeur waits inside the terminal with a name sign and walks you to the car.

Step by step terminal details are in our Newark pickup guide and the EWR AirTrain replacement guide.

From the Upper West Side, transit to Newark means the 1, 2 or 3 subway to Penn Station, NJ TRANSIT to the airport rail station and the AirTrain to your terminal. Newark lists the train leg at about 30 minutes, with the AirTrain fee included in the fare. A car goes door to terminal with no transfers.

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.

See the wait time policy for the full terms.

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 several large suitcases.

For larger groups, mini coaches and coaches are quoted on request. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles, including Sprinters, can be arranged with advance notice, so tell us when you book.

Yes. A multi-leg trip puts several stops or legs on one booking, such as a pickup on Riverside Drive and a second traveler near Lincoln 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.
