We have 8 people travelling from Newark airport to Jersey city, what is best way to transport everyone? I know the train/PATH are an option but may be too much hassle...thinking private car or taxi?

Flight due to arrive at 21.30 from London and have to collect baggage... then have to check in for Houston flight at 3.00am next morning. Getting a hotel doesn't seem worth it.

Any advice on quieter spots/ comfy seats/ warm and no draughts... with a chance of a bit of shuteye? Any advice much appreciated.

Hello. I'm attending a wedding in Plainfield, NJ. That's why I would like to be in a hotel close to that area, I want to have the option to go to Manhattan every day... A) Because hotels are cheaper in NJ areas B) Because of the wedding :D My question is. What specific area do you recommend me to stay, so I can get a public transport to New York every day. If so, what kind of transport is a good option. My idea is to leave every morning to NY and come back to the the hotel at night. Thanks for your response.

Has anyone used the airport bus at Newark airport to get to Manhattan? Was it easy to access, and how long a ride was it? Basically, I need to get to Larchmont (Westchester), but there don't seem to be many transportation options if I am not prepared to shell out100 or more on a private taxi. The other alternative suggested to me was taking the bus ($15) to Grand Central, and getting on the Metro North. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced shared van that could get me to Larchmont?

I'm flying in to EWR on April 01, arriving 8:30 pm. I was planning on taking the train up to New Haven, but as far as I can tell the last train leaves at 6:58 pm. Does anyone know of another way to get up to New Haven at that time of night, or am I the fool for travelling that late?

What time do you recommend I leave if I am driving by car from New Haven and must be at the airport by 7.30pm at the latest?

I'd be very grateful if someone could give me help regarding the car journey from Newark to Newhaven. We will arrive from the UK and would prefer a scenic journey that isn't heavy with traffic, if that's possible. Driving on the opposite side of the road from our norm will be difficult enough. Thank you in advance for any guidance. Pat B

To all: First, let me thank you in advance for any answers or comments on my question. I will be traveling via Amtrak from Wilmington, DE to EWR to catch an international flight. Amtrak has a connection in Northern New Jersey which they call the Newark Airport connection. My questions are: How easy is the connection to the connecting train to EWR? How long to the terminals? We will have several pieces of luggage...problem with space for luggage and/or help available? I presume that getting to the international terminal shouldn't be more difficult to any of the other terminals...correct? In general, I am basically wondering whether taking the train to EWR from Wilmington is easy and worth it? Anyone adding some insights will be much appreciated! Walt

Hi! I thought somebody might have an idea for us here... Here's our problem: We are going to the Caribbean in November via Newark and on the way back from there we are going to spend a few days in NYC. Which means we need summer clothes for the British Virgin Islands but we also need a winter coat for the days in New York. I am not too excited about the idea of taking my winter coat with me all the time because I am sure it won't fit into my bag and I am sure I will be stared at if I wear it on the way from the airport to the hotel in the USVI and especially on the ferry to the BVI. Is there any luggage storage facility in Newark airport where I could leave the winter stuff for 10 days? Any other ideas? Thanks for your help. Sabine

Hello everybody....I´m visiting Newark. I heard about the great Portuguese restaurants and stores in Newark. Can someone tell me where the Portuguese quarter is located? Thank you all.

1. I (60) and my wife (57) will arrive Newark Liberty Intl. Airport at 04:45 AM on June 20. I presume that the immigration formalities and luggage pick-up will complete in one hour time (Correct me, if I am wrong). From Newark, we want to go to New Haven (CT). We will have ample luggage. Suggest most economical way. 2. Do we get paid (or free) luggage trolleys at Newark airport. 3. I am told that we will swarmed by so called luggage porters, who will insist that we avail their paid services to move around with our luggage with in the airport. Is it true. if yes, how to avoid them, as we are on a tight budget.

We are arriving at Newark and we need to catch a taxi to the Sheraton Suites in Weehawken. Does anyone know if this is a fixed rate or is it a meter charge? Just flag a taxi down outside of baggage claim?

Hi! We will have a 17 hour layover in Newark in November. As our plane leaves early in morning on the 2nd day we thought about spending one night in a hotel in Newark that night. Does anybody have any recommendations? All we need is clean, cheapish and easy to reach. Also I have read about Jersey Gardens Outlet mall. Considering that a) we will be tired when we arrive in Newark, b) we will have 4 nights in New York on the way back and c) I love outlet mall shopping, do you think we should stay near this mall and skip our planned first trip into NYC and leave it for the way back? Another idea was that I would love to go to Ellis Island museum. Is there a shortcut from EWR to get there? Our plan will land in EWR at 1355 and the next one will leave at 9:30 the next day. Coming from Germany we will have to queue at immigration. I am thankful for every advise you can give me. Thanks, Sabine

What is the fare for a taxi from Newark Airport to Union, NJ?

I need to travel from Milford/New Haven(CT) to Newark, NJ for next 2 months. I have ruled out Metro North trains since it takes 3 hours(and changing 4 trains) to get to Newark via NYC. The Amtrak/Acela options are not flexible from cost and importantly weekday timings perspective. Would someone be able to give me good suggestions on getting to Newark by drive. Since I can take Route 15 for a good part without much traffic hassles, would it be good idea to get on to I-287 Tappan Zee bridge to Garden State Parkway onto Newark on weekdays. It would be helpful If I can get some tips on timing my travel, EZ passes etc...
