Arriving at Newark: How Pickup Works

Add your flight number when you reserve. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, including which terminal it actually arrives at, and adjusts to the landing time at no extra charge.

Receive your chauffeur’s details 24 hours before pickup: name, phone number and vehicle.

Collect your bags, then message your chauffeur. Your chauffeur replies with the exact meeting point for your terminal.

Meet your chauffeur at your terminal’s car service pickup area, or inside the terminal with Meet & Greet, and your chauffeur takes your bags to the car.

Check your arrival terminal

At Newark, the terminal you land at is not always the one you left from. United uses Terminals A and C, and some United international flights arrive at Terminal B. JetBlue’s international arrivals can also use Terminal B. Your chauffeur follows the flight and goes to the terminal where it actually lands.

Waiting is included for 45 minutes after a domestic arrival and one hour after an international one, timed from the gate. After an international flight, restart your phone so it connects to a local network, or join the airport Wi-Fi.

Departing from Newark: Drop-Off and Timing

Your chauffeur collects you 15 minutes before pickup and drops you at the departures level of your airline’s terminal. United travelers should check their boarding pass for Terminal A or C.

From Manhattan, the tunnels set the pace. Plan to leave Midtown about three hours before an international departure and two and a half hours before a domestic one, and allow more on weekday evenings, when the Lincoln Tunnel is at its busiest.
