A New Jersey airport car service is a pre-booked private car for trips to and from New Jersey airports, principally Newark Liberty International Airport, with the vehicle and driver arranged before you travel. You book the whole vehicle, not a seat. JetBlack is a private car and charter service only: it does not run shared rides, and it does not offer discount or loyalty programs on this page.
What a New Jersey airport trip costs
JetBlack hourly rates, published and quoted before tolls, tip, and governmental fees: economy sedan $45 per hour with a three-hour minimum, standard Sprinter $130 per hour, and stretch limousine $144 per hour with a four-hour minimum. Larger buses and the super-luxury Sprinter are priced by written quote. A 20 percent tip is recommended and is not included. Cancellation is $31 total: a $25 fee plus $5 in fees plus a $1 technology fee, and cancellation is free before confirmation.
Newark trips are usually priced by the hour or by a written per-trip quote. There is no Newark equivalent of the JFK to Manhattan taxi flat fare: Newark taxis are metered, with a $20 surcharge on top of the meter. Ask for the total in writing before you book, including the minimum hours.
Getting between Newark and Manhattan
Newark to Manhattan is roughly 16 to 20 miles, depending on where in Manhattan you are going. The budget alternative is AirTrain plus NJ Transit, typically $15 to $20 per person. A private car makes the most sense when you have heavy luggage, a group, a late-night arrival, or a destination that public transit does not serve well. JetBlack tracks your flight, so a delayed arrival does not mean a missed pickup.
For comparison, a yellow taxi from JFK to Manhattan runs on a flat fare of $70 plus additions, which works out to $76.75 before tip, or $81.75 on weekdays from 4 to 8 pm. The default JetBlack pickup is express curbside; meet-and-greet service inside the terminal is an extra.
