How the Newark run works
From Stamford the usual route is I-95 south through the Bronx, the George Washington Bridge and the New Jersey Turnpike to the airport; on some days the Tappan Zee (Mario M. Cuomo Bridge) and the Garden State Parkway are the better choice. The GWB approach is where most delays happen, so pickups are planned from the high end of the range: for a 10:00 AM domestic flight, around 6:10 AM.
Arriving at Newark
Give us the flight number and terminal. The driver tracks the landing time and meets you at the terminal, and a delay does not change the flat rate. Stamford is outside our local-taxi zone, so we serve it for airport and long-distance rides by reservation, 24/7.
Your flat rate includes up to 15 minutes of waiting; cancellations more than 2 hours before pickup are free, and tolls are passed through at cost (see our Terms of Service).
