How long does it take?

Branchburg sits about 30 to 35 miles west of Newark Liberty. With light traffic the drive is usually around 40 to 50 minutes. Weekday mornings heading east, Friday afternoons and holiday weekends can add a lot to that, so we plan the pickup around the time of day, not just the distance.

As a rule of thumb, for a domestic flight we suggest leaving Branchburg about three hours before departure, and more for international flights or busy travel periods. Tell us your flight time and we will suggest a pickup time.

The route

Most trips head east on I-78, which runs right past Branchburg, toward the airport exits. Depending on traffic, US-22 or I-287 can be better for part of the way. Because the car is based in town, there is no long drive to reach you first, which helps on early-morning flights.

Coming home to Branchburg

Newark is in New Jersey, so we pick up as well as drop off. We check your flight status before pickup and adjust for delays. Airport pickups include 30 minutes of complimentary wait time after landing for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights. Book the return with your departure so both rides are set.

Car service or parking at Newark?

For a trip of more than a few days, add up airport parking, tolls, fuel and the shuttle back to your car. A door-to-door ride often compares well, especially for families with luggage. The Suburban typically seats up to 6 passengers; tell us your bag count so we can confirm everything fits.
