New Rochelle, NY
to EWR Airport.

New Rochelle is one of Westchester's largest cities, from the waterfront of Davenport Neck and Premium Point to the North End, Wykagyl and Quaker Ridge. New Rochelle stretches from the waterfront at Davenport Neck to the North End and Wykagyl, a long city from south to north.

First leg: onto I-95 or the Hutchinson River Parkway, both through the city. The rest of the way to Newark: I-287 over the Mario Cuomo Bridge and down the Garden State Parkway, or the Cross County and the George Washington Bridge. Expect about 31 mi and 45 min – 1 hr 10 min on a normal day; the George Washington Bridge is where the time goes when traffic is heavy.

Newark isn't the nearest airport to New Rochelle — that's LGA, about 35 min away — but it's often the one with the right flight. For long-haul and international flights, EWR is usually worth the extra time. The fare from New Rochelle is quoted up front with tolls included; put your address in the form above.

Work back from the departure time: 3 hr 15 min for a domestic flight, 4 hr 15 min for an international one — that's the pickup time in New Rochelle.

Getting across the Hudson matters more than the airport: we time the pickup around the bridge your chauffeur will use. On snowy days, holiday weekends and summer Fridays we'll suggest leaving earlier.

All six airports from New Rochelle, nearest first.

Take the New Haven Line from New Rochelle to Grand Central, the subway across to Penn Station, NJ Transit to Newark Airport station and then the AirTrain — four legs in all.

Compare that with a car: one seat, your bags in the trunk, 45 min – 1 hr 10 min to the curb.

• The flight number — the car follows any delay
• Number of people and suitcases, so we send the right car
• The building entrance, if it isn't obvious from the street
• Any extra stop on the way
