Fast and reliable Newark airport taxis and shuttles
Although a great option for any budget flights, Newark airport is one of the farthest airports from Manhattan. Taking public transport can be tiresome and frustrating. That’s why we recommend taking a fast, reliable and comfortable taxi or private shuttle service for your Newark airport transfer.
As soon as your plane touches down, your driver will be patiently waiting for you, just outside of the arrivals hall exit doors. Thanks to our live update system, your driver will always know if your plane is delayed, and will adjust their arrival accordingly. After a warm greeting, your driver will help you with your luggage and lead you to your pre-selected car.
While you sit back and enjoy your Newark airport transfer, your driver will answer your questions about the city and will share some must-see spots in Manhattan. Let Welcome Pickups take care of all your transfer needs so you can get your vacation in New York off to the best start.

Directions for your Newark airport transfer
Newark Liberty International Airport, more simply known as Newark airport, is a small international airport located in New Jersey but also serving the city of New York. A taxi or private shuttle from Newark airport will take around 40 minutes to reach Manhattan. Your driver will exit the EWR airport compound and take the I-78 Express E by merging right. They will then take the exit to interstate 95 N, before taking the right exit towards the Lincoln Tunnel, which will lead you right into the heart of Manhattan. From here, your driver will use the local roads to reach your hotel.
Cost of your Newark airport transfer
Unfortunately, the local taxi drivers at Newark airport don’t offer a set-rate fee for the journey into Manhattan, unlike JFK airport shuttles. Instead, the driver will charge you using a taximeter based on distance. The average cost for this journey is €43, but additional fees for luggage, traffic and toll roads will usually be added. For a guaranteed price with no extra charges, book your Newark airport transfer in advance with Welcome Pickups.
