Your Midtown Manhattan airport pickup
In Midtown the chauffeur comes to the hotel entrance, office lobby or station exit you name. Midtown blocks are busy, so a precise pickup point matters more here than almost anywhere else. Name the street the entrance faces and the nearest avenue, and add the passenger name so the chauffeur can find you quickly.
| Midtown pickup | What to put in the notes |
|---|---|
| Times Square hotels | Hotel name and the street the main entrance faces |
| Rockefeller Center offices | Building address and the lobby entrance |
| Penn Station | The street exit you will use, such as Seventh or Eighth Avenue |
| Grand Central | The street side you will exit, such as 42nd Street or Vanderbilt Avenue |
| Hudson Yards | Building name and the street entrance |
Travel time and airport meeting details
From Midtown, Newark is about 27 to 29 minutes without traffic. Those times come from routing with no traffic, so they are the shortest case. Midtown streets, the Lincoln Tunnel approaches and New Jersey highways all slow down at rush hour, and weather or airport work can add more, so choose a pickup time with a buffer.
| Trip | Distance | Drive time without traffic |
|---|---|---|
| Penn Station to Newark | 16.1 mi | about 27 min (estimate) |
| Times Square to Newark | 16.1 mi | about 27 min (estimate) |
| Rockefeller Center to Newark | 16.6 mi | about 29 min (estimate) |
| Newark to Grand Central (arrival) | 16.6 mi | about 32 min (estimate) |
Drive times are estimates (OSRM free-flow routing with no traffic, checked Oct 29, 2026). Traffic varies, and rush hour, weather and airport construction add time.
When should I leave Midtown for Newark Airport?
Start from the time your airline wants you at the airport, add the drive estimate and then a buffer for Midtown traffic and the Lincoln Tunnel. Weekday morning and evening peaks are the slowest. If your hotel checkout runs late, tell us; every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies at the door.
Which route does the chauffeur take, and what tolls apply?
From Midtown, the chauffeur usually takes the Lincoln Tunnel to New Jersey, then highways south to the airport. The Port Authority collects the Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel tolls New York-bound only. That means the drive out to Newark pays no tunnel toll, and the arrival back into Midtown does.
| Toll or charge | Amount | Applies |
|---|---|---|
| Lincoln Tunnel or Holland Tunnel, car with E-ZPass | $14.79 off-peak, $16.79 peak | New York-bound only |
| Lincoln Tunnel or Holland Tunnel, Toll by Mail | $23.30 | New York-bound only |
| Congestion Relief Zone, black car trip | $0.75 per trip | Midtown pickups and drop-offs |

Where will my chauffeur meet me at Newark Airport?
At Newark, pickups are at the arrivals curb of Terminal A or B by default once you have your bags. At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. Newark does not allow curb parking, so cars come to the curb for the pickup itself. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, so call 888-887-0324 if your plans change after landing. A $25 meet and greet is available if you want the chauffeur to meet you inside.
| Newark fact | Detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Terminals | A, B and C | newarkairport.com |
| Curb parking | Not allowed | newarkairport.com |
| Cell Phone Lot | Free, near parking lot P4 | newarkairport.com |
| AirTrain | Being modernized, with shuttle buses during disruptions; no direct AirTrain stop at Terminal A | newarkairport.com |
If you are comparing a train, Newark says the AirTrain links the terminals to the Newark Liberty International Airport rail station, with a fee if you have no rail ticket. A car goes straight to the terminal curb. See the Newark pickup guide.
How does waiting time work?
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.
| Pickup type | Grace period or wait time |
|---|---|
| Regular pickup (home, hotel, office) | 15 minutes |
| Domestic flight arrival | 60 minutes after landing |
| International flight arrival | 90 minutes after landing |
| Flight tracking | Included on airport pickups |
See the wait time policy for the full terms.

Check the airport handoff before travel.
Before travel day, check the details that make the handoff work. The chauffeur needs the right Newark terminal for a departure, the flight number for an arrival, the Midtown entrance you will use and a mobile number. Checking the booking the day before takes a minute and avoids a search on a busy Midtown block.
- Flight number and airline added to the booking
- Pickup address with the entrance or cross street
- Passenger name and a mobile number in the notes
- Passenger and bag count matched to the vehicle class
- Child seats added, in an SUV or Sprinter
Can I book the return trip?
Yes. Book the return from Newark as a separate airport pickup with your flight number. The chauffeur tracks the flight, waits 60 minutes after a domestic landing or 90 after an international one, and brings you back to your Midtown hotel or office. The New York-bound tunnel toll is in that ride's price.
