Why Fly Into Newark and Ride With RideSoHo

Chauffeurs

Licensed for both sides of the river

Every chauffeur holds an NYC TLC license, issued after fingerprinting, a background check, drug screening and a driving record review. Suit and tie.
Base

TLC Base B03644

Our base at 230 Park Avenue is minutes from Times Square and dispatch never closes.
Flights

Followed into Newark

The pickup tracks the real landing time, which matters on a route where the tunnel queue can change the whole plan.
Time

Room to clear arrivals

Free waiting time after landing gives you space for customs and baggage.
Pricing

Flat rate, tolls included

Turnpike and tunnel tolls are covered by the quote, so a queue at the Lincoln Tunnel never changes the number.
Comfort

A calm ride in

Chargers, water and room for luggage in sedans, SUVs and Sprinters.
Arrivals

Meet & Greet, $25

The chauffeur waits in the arrivals area holding a sign with your name and handles the bags.
Notice

Lead time from the city

The car starts in New York City, so a change needs that drive plus 4 hours. You can cancel at no cost until 24 hours out.

EWR to Times Square Questions

How long is the drive from Newark Airport to Times Square?

In normal traffic the drive takes about 35 to 70 minutes. The Lincoln Tunnel is the main bottleneck, and weekday rush hour or a Friday evening can stretch the trip to 100 minutes.

The ride is quoted as a flat rate when you book, and tolls are included. The price depends on the vehicle, the destination and the hour, and it stays fixed once you confirm.

The car normally follows the New Jersey Turnpike north to the Lincoln Tunnel, and may use the Holland Tunnel or the George Washington Bridge when traffic favors it. The chauffeur decides on the day.

As near to your hotel, theater or office as the street rules allow. Pedestrian plazas and event closures can restrict access, so share the exact address and we plan the closest legal stop.

Yes. Give us your flight number and we follow the live arrival, so the pickup moves with the real landing and a delay does not add to your fare.

The chauffeur waits free for 45 minutes after a domestic landing and for an hour after an international one. Meet & Greet costs $25 and puts the chauffeur inside the terminal with a name sign.

The AirTrain and NJ Transit are cheaper, but the trip needs a station transfer and a walk with bags before the subway. A car goes from the terminal to your curb.

Because Newark sits outside the city, any change must allow the drive from New York plus 4 hours. Cancellation is free until 24 hours before pickup, and hourly service in New Jersey is arranged and priced by dispatch.
