Prices are what each company published on its own website when we checked in November 2026. They change, and taxes, tolls and gratuity are handled differently by each company, so confirm the total in writing before you book.

Car trips between New York and New Jersey come in every length. Some are short hops from Manhattan to Jersey City or Hoboken. Others run out to Short Hills, Morristown or Princeton for a client, a school or a family dinner. Then there is Newark Liberty, which sits in New Jersey but works as one of New York’s main airports.

That variety makes prices hard to compare. A quick Hudson crossing and a run to Princeton are priced very differently, and companies vary on whether tunnel and bridge tolls are in the price. We ranked seven services on stated New Jersey coverage, published pricing, cost transparency, Newark and Teterboro service, and fleet range.

Everything here comes from each company’s own website, read in November 2026. We didn’t test rides, and no company paid for a spot. Ask for a written all-in price before you book.

Our top pick for 2026

1. TrueNorth VIP — Best for New Jersey trips with all-in prices

Hourly from $110/hr · JFK to Times Square from $176, all-in

TrueNorth VIP leads because New Jersey is part of its listed service area in full, together with the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Delaware and the Hamptons. A Hoboken pickup, a Princeton drop-off and a Newark arrival are all on the same map. For someone who lives on one side of the Hudson and works on the other, that means one company for the whole week.

It also publishes the prices most riders want. Newark (EWR) to Times Square is $172 in an Executive Sedan, $200 in an Executive SUV, $234 in a Luxury SUV and $302 in a Luxury Sedan, and Teterboro to Times Square starts at $162. Hourly service runs $110 to $180 an hour with a 3-hour minimum. Taxes, tolls and fees are inside every figure and gratuity is optional, so a crossing through a tunnel or over a bridge costs what the page says. A three-hour Executive Sedan block for a Jersey City meeting comes to $330.

Flights into Newark are tracked, with 60 minutes of wait after domestic landings and 90 after international ones, and a meet and greet costs $25. Child seats are $25 in SUVs and Sprinters for families heading to the suburbs, and Sprinters for up to 13 are quoted on request. Dispatch runs 24/7.

  • EWR to Times Square from $172; TEB from $162, all-in

The downside

Published airport fares run to Times Square, so a Newark pickup headed to a New Jersey suburb is priced only when you book. There are no stretch limousines or party buses, which rules it out for some prom or party requests.

Best for: New Jersey trips with all-in prices.

2. Artisan Limo — Best for corporate groups crossing the Hudson

Price shown before booking · Sprinters and coaches quoted

Artisan Limo, based in NoMad, can move a group of almost any size across the river: sedans, Suburbans, Escalade ESVs, Executive Sprinters for about 13, Jet Sprinters for 8 to 10, a 24-passenger mini coach and a 56-passenger motorcoach. That matters for teams that shuttle staff between Manhattan and offices in New Jersey.

The New York metro area is its home market, and it also runs in six other U.S. markets for firms with national travel. The price appears before booking with required trip charges included, gratuity is optional, and Sprinters and coaches are quoted in writing. Airport pickups get 60 minutes of wait after domestic arrivals and 90 after international, counted from wheels-down.

Key facts

  • NY metro area plus six other U.S. markets
  • Sedans to a 56-passenger motorcoach
  • Corporate accounts for travel managers and event planners
  • 5.0 on Google (November 2026)

Best for: Corporate groups crossing the Hudson.

3. Black Car NYC — Best for sedan trips to its listed New Jersey destinations

Sedan $110/hr, 3-hour minimum · Airport fares quoted

Black Car NYC covers New York City, Long Island and the Hamptons, Westchester and selected New Jersey and Connecticut destinations. Selected means not every New Jersey town, so confirm yours first. It serves Newark and Teterboro, prices from the full itinerary and treats a booking as final only once it is confirmed in writing.

The Executive Sedan is $110 an hour with a 3-hour minimum. Meet and greet at commercial terminals such as Newark is $25, and standard FBO coordination at Teterboro carries no separate fee. A full refund applies to cancellations 24 hours ahead, or 48 hours for groups and events. Vehicles run up to a 14-passenger Sprinter.

Key facts

  • Selected New Jersey destinations; confirm your town
  • Serves Newark and Teterboro
  • Executive Sedan $110 an hour, 3-hour minimum
  • Meet and greet $25; no separate FBO coordination fee

Best for: Sedan trips to its listed New Jersey destinations.

4. EmpireCLS — Best for riders who want a company headquartered in New Jersey

EmpireCLS is the only company in this ranking with a stated New Jersey headquarters, in Secaucus. It cites 40 years in chauffeured transportation, a network of 1,000-plus cities, and a fleet of S550 sedans, Escalades, limousines and motor coaches. Chauffeurs arrive 15 minutes before pickup. Rates aren’t published, so every trip is priced through its reservation system.

Best for: Riders who want a company headquartered in New Jersey.

5. Dial 7 — Best for Newark and Teterboro runs with a large fleet

Dial 7 has operated since 1977 under TLC base B00887 and serves Newark and Teterboro along with JFK, LaGuardia, Westchester and MacArthur. Its 600-plus vehicles include minibuses and wheelchair-accessible cars. Its listed area is the NYC boroughs and Long Island, and its published rates exclude tolls, gratuity and fees, so price a New Jersey address in full.

Best for: Newark and Teterboro runs with a large fleet.

6. Blacklane — Best for one booking app at home and abroad

Blacklane lists more than 500 cities in 64-plus countries and shows the price at booking. Hourly bookings run 2 to 24 hours and airport transfers include one hour of free wait time. Local partner companies perform the rides, so the vehicle and chauffeur vary, and New Jersey towns aren’t named in what it publishes.

Best for: One booking app at home and abroad.

7. Carmel — Best for quick city rides booked in an app

Carmel, operating since 1978, lists New York City, its airports and a worldwide network, and its app offers referral credits and points. New Jersey isn’t named. Its quotes vary by time and by whether tolls are included, which matters on a trip with a Hudson crossing, so check the line items.

Best for: Quick city rides booked in an app.
