Your ride to Newark Airport from Taft School. Reliable Newark Airport car service from Taft School. Premium Black Sedan or SUV, curbside pickup for arrivals, 24/7.
Many Taft families are international, so JFK and Newark are common airports for Taft trips. We can send the booking confirmation to both the student and a parent.
The drive to EWR starts onto Route 8 or I-84 in Waterbury; after that it's I-84 west to I-684 and I-287, over the Mario Cuomo Bridge and down the Garden State Parkway. That's about 88 mi — 1 hr 40 min at the quiet hours, 2 hr when the Mario Cuomo Bridge is backed up.
Newark isn't the nearest airport to Taft School — that's HPN, about 1 hr 5 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. Enter the address above for the fixed fare from Taft School — tolls included.
From Taft School, plan the pickup 4 hr before a domestic departure and 5 hr before an international one.
Newark itself moves well; it's the bridge traffic on the way that we plan the pickup around. Holiday weekends and Friday afternoons are when we add the most cushion on the Taft School route.
Break weeks fill up fast. If several friends from Taft School are flying out of EWR the same day, a Premium Black SUV takes up to 6 with bags. If the school changes the break dates or your flight moves, just tell us — changing the pickup time is free.
Newark has Terminals A, B and C — United, the biggest airline here, is in C.
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 →
