Newark Airport Travel Tips From

Tri-State Chauffeurs

After 20+ years of EWR transfers, Tri-State Chauffeurs recommends:

• Allow extra time on Mondays and Thursdays: These are EWR's heaviest business travel days.
• Avoid the 4–7 PM Hudson crossing window: If you can, Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel routinely back up 30–60 minutes during weekday rush.
• Terminal C (United) requires the most internal walking time: For tight connections or ride-share drop offs, leave a buffer.
• For international arrivals at Terminal B or C: Plan for 60–90 minutes from wheels down to curbside when factoring in immigration, baggage, and customs.
• Book the Meet & Greet option: For elderly travelers, international arrivals, and anyone unfamiliar with EWR, the small additional fee saves significant stress.
• For groups of 5 or more: Book SUV or larger, luggage capacity, not just seat count, is the constraint.
• Cape Liberty Cruise Port transfers: From EWR, takes 25 minutes, Tri-State Chauffeurs runs these regularly for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity sailings.
