Your ride to Newark Airport from New Canaan. Reliable Newark Airport car service from New Canaan, CT. Premium Black Sedan or SUV, curbside pickup for arrivals, 24/7.
The Glass House and the town's mid-century modern homes bring visitors to New Canaan; we also pick up guests staying in town. New Canaan families fly out often for school breaks and ski trips, so Presidents' Day week and Christmas fill up early.
The drive to EWR starts down Route 123 or Route 106 to the Merritt Parkway; after that it's I-684 or the Merritt to I-287, over the Mario Cuomo Bridge and down the Garden State Parkway — or the George Washington Bridge when it's clearer. Expect about 48 mi and 1 hr – 1 hr 20 min on a normal day; the George Washington Bridge is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

Take the New Canaan Branch from New Canaan to Grand Central (changing at Stamford), the subway across to Penn Station, NJ Transit to Newark Airport station and then the AirTrain — four legs in all.
The car takes 1 hr – 1 hr 20 min and starts at your front door. Bridge and Turnpike tolls into New Jersey are already included in the price, so there's nothing extra to pay on the way.
United flies mostly from Terminal C; Terminal A is the newest; international flights use B and C. Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals level of your terminal. If you're coming off an international flight, allow for customs — the flight is tracked, so the car is there when you walk out.
For the return, your chauffeur follows the flight, so a delay doesn't cost you anything — the free hour of waiting starts at landing. Newark guide →
Late December is the busiest stretch for international departures from EWR, and the airport roads are at their worst on the evenings before the holidays. Book the New Canaan pickup early, and add 30 minutes to the usual cushion that week.
