Why Long Island travelers book a private car for Newark (EWR) flights
When United Airlines’ international network or a nonstop business route forces a Long Island resident to fly out of Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), public transit requires three separate trains: the LIRR into Penn Station Manhattan, a transfer to NJ Transit to Newark Airport Rail Station, and the EWR AirTrain monorail to the terminal.
A private Executive Sedan or Executive SUV turns that multi-transfer trek into a single door-to-terminal ride—while bypassing Midtown Manhattan whenever possible via the northern or southern bridge bypass corridors.
Northern Bypass (Throgs Neck / Whitestone + GWB)
Preferred from North Shore Nassau and LIE corridors: crosses the Throgs Neck or Bronx-Whitestone Bridge to the Cross Bronx / George Washington Bridge and straight down the NJ Turnpike (I-95) to EWR.
Southern Bypass (Southern State / Belt + Verrazzano + Goethals)
Preferred from South Shore Nassau (Five Towns, Rockville Centre, Massapequa, Babylon): follows the Belt Parkway across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and Staten Island Expressway (I-278) to the Goethals Bridge and NJ Turnpike.
Midtown Tunnel + Lincoln/Holland (Off-Peak)
Used late at night or early morning when Manhattan cross-town streets are wide open.
Planning departure buffers between Nassau/Suffolk and Newark
Because an EWR transfer from Long Island crosses both the East River / Narrows and the Hudson River / Arthur Kill, departure timing is critical. From western Nassau County (Great Neck, Garden City, Valley Stream), allow 75 to 110 minutes off-peak and 110 to 145 minutes during weekday rush hours.
From eastern Nassau and Suffolk County (Melville, Huntington, Smithtown, Islip), allow 95 to 150+ minutes depending on time of day. All bridge and turnpike tolls plus the $20 New Jersey surcharge are baked into your upfront quote.
EWR Airport to Long Island frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I leave Long Island for an international flight at Newark Airport?
Because airlines close international bag drop 60 minutes prior to departure and recommend arriving 3 hours early, most Nassau County travelers schedule their pickup 4.5 to 5 hours before international takeoff (and 5 to 5.5 hours from Suffolk County).
Are the Verrazzano, Throgs Neck, George Washington Bridge and NJ Turnpike tolls included?
Yes. Every interstate bridge, tunnel and turnpike toll—plus the $20 New Jersey surcharge—is included in your confirmed written quote before you travel.
What happens if my international return flight into EWR is delayed at customs?
We monitor your incoming flight automatically and include 60 minutes of complimentary wait time from actual gate arrival on international flights so you can clear CBP and collect checked bags.
