Cab from newark to times square
 

In looking into flights for december, it looks like i can get better rate flying into newark as opposed to JFK or LGA. I'm trying to find out about how much it would cost to take a cab from newark to times square.

thanks.

I think it will be around $45. You can take the AirTrain to Penn Station for $11.50 and cab from there for not much.

Probably more like $55-60 with tolls and tip. You might be better off with a car service such as Carmel, www.carmellimo.com.

LGA is much more convenient and has a better on-time record (as of last quarter) than EWR (but JFK beats them both). If the fare is close, go with LGA.

Be aware it can vary a lot depending on when you arrive. December traffic is esp bad due to holiday shoppoing/ amusements etc and Fridays are esp bad. Also if it's rainy/icy accidents can slow things down and drive cab fares through the roof.

I usually do a car service from Newark becaues unlike JFK and LGA they sometimes run out of cabs.

Order a car service and you'll know exactly what you'll be paying. Prices posted on

Car service is better, I'd avoid taxis. I did that and ended up paying around $65 one time. If it's only one person with little luggage, there's an express bus that'll drop you off by Grand Central. $13/one way. $22/ round trip.

Car service is great! If you are traveling with a companion, can be a great surprise. From LGA, approx. $45 limo ride to Time Square...
:d

There's also a bus that goes into Port Authority, which is very easy and much more reasonably priced. I think it's about $12-15 one way, and there is a counter at the airport (ground transportation level) where you can buy tickets.

The bus is fine if you don't have much luggage and don't mind the chaos of the Port Authority, but most people will have to fight the crowds (and then horrendous traffic) to find a taxi to get them from the PA to their hotel.

Unless one's budget is really, really tight, time is not a factor, and schlepping luggage is okay, a car service is the best option from EWR to Times Square.
