Where to meet your chauffeur at EWR.

Newark Airport asks passengers with a booked car to follow the signs to the ground transportation pickup area of their terminal. Here is how your pickup works at Terminals A, B and C.

Ride-app areas are separate. Newark lists its own pickup areas for Uber and Lyft (for example, Floor 3 of the Terminal C garage). Your chauffeur is not a ride app: they confirm the exact meeting spot by text before you land.

01

Terminal A, B or C

Add your flight number when you book. We confirm your terminal and follow your flight. Terminal B handles most international arrivals, Terminal C is primarily United, and Terminal A handles domestic and select international flights.

02

Newark Meet & Greet

Your chauffeur meets you inside at baggage claim with a sign bearing your name, helps with your luggage and walks you to the car. Ideal for first-time visitors and international arrivals. Meet & Greet is optional and itemized in your quote.

03

Newark Curbside Pickup

Collect your bags and follow the Ground Transportation signs. Your chauffeur texts you the exact pickup spot and the vehicle details. Cars cannot wait at the curb, so your chauffeur holds nearby until you are ready.

04

Newark AirTrain vs Private Car

The AirTrain connects EWR to NJ Transit and Amtrak, but requires a transfer, a rail ticket, and a ride to your final destination. A private chauffeur is door-to-door with no transfers, your driver meets you at the terminal and takes you straight to your door in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or New Jersey.

Four tips for a flawless Newark transfer.

01

Newark Flight Tracking Is Always On

We monitor your flight in real time from three hours before scheduled landing. If you arrive early or late, your pickup adjusts automatically. No charge for delays within our 60-minute international grace period or 30-minute domestic grace period.

02

Add Your Newark Terminal When Booking

Specifying Terminal A, B, or C lets us assign a chauffeur who knows that building's layout and commercial-vehicle access rules. It also lets us choose the optimal pickup option for that terminal's traffic pattern.

03

Newark International vs Domestic Timing

International arrivals into Terminal B should budget 45–90 minutes after landing for customs and immigration. Domestic arrivals typically clear within 15–30 minutes. Your chauffeur arrives based on actual landing time plus these averages, then waits within the grace window.

04

Newark Group & Luggage Considerations

Traveling with oversized luggage, golf clubs, or ski equipment? Mention it during booking so we assign a Suburban, Navigator, or Escalade with cargo space. Groups of five or more should reserve a Luxury SUV for comfortable seating and luggage capacity.

The right car for your arrival.

Newark is the closest major airport to many Manhattan neighborhoods, but the journey through the Lincoln Tunnel can feel long after a flight. From the Luxury Sedan to the Sprinter Van, the vehicle you choose should match your state of mind: composed, quiet, and ready to recline.

Questions, answered

How do I find my chauffeur at Newark Airport?

With Meet & Greet, your chauffeur waits inside at baggage claim with a name sign. With Curbside, follow the Ground Transportation signs and go to the spot your chauffeur texts you, along with the vehicle details. This works the same at Terminals A, B and C.

Which Newark terminal serves international arrivals?

Terminal B handles most international arrivals at Newark Liberty International Airport. Terminal A handles domestic and select international flights, and Terminal C is primarily United Airlines. Provide your flight number when booking so we dispatch your chauffeur to the correct terminal.

Is Meet & Greet or Curbside pickup better at Newark?

Meet & Greet is ideal for international arrivals with heavy luggage or first time visitors to EWR. Curbside is faster for experienced travelers with carry on bags. You choose during booking, and any Meet & Greet fee is shown in your quote.

Is a private car faster than the AirTrain from Newark Airport?

Yes. Direct chauffeur service is door-to-door, so you avoid AirTrain connections, NJ Transit waits, and Penn Station transfers. For executives, families, and anyone with luggage, a private car is materially faster and far more comfortable than the AirTrain plus rail route.

What happens if my flight into Newark is delayed?

Your chauffeur tracks your flight automatically. We adjust arrival time to match your actual landing. International flights include 60 minutes of complimentary wait time; domestic flights include 30 minutes. No action is required from you.

Can I book a Newark airport car service to Manhattan, Brooklyn, or New Jersey?

Yes. Our Newark airport transfers cover Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey City, Hoboken, and select Westchester and Connecticut destinations. Enter your destination during booking for an exact upfront quote.
