Your ride to Newark Airport from Fairfield University. Door-to-door rides from Fairfield University to Newark Airport in a Premium Black Sedan or SUV. One fixed price, confirmed at booking.
Parents flying in for move-in weekend or family weekend can book the return trip from the airport to campus at the same time. The Fairfield train station is close to campus, but the train still means changing in New York with every bag you're carrying home.
The drive to EWR starts down to I-95 or up to the Merritt Parkway, a few minutes from campus; after that it's either I-95 to the George Washington Bridge and down the New Jersey Turnpike, or I-287 over the Mario Cuomo Bridge and down the Garden State Parkway — your chauffeur picks whichever is moving. That's about 62 mi — 1 hr 15 min at the quiet hours, 1 hr 35 min when the George Washington Bridge is backed up.

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.
Break weeks fill up fast. If several friends from Fairfield University 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.
Give us the flight and your chauffeur goes to the right Newark terminal — C for most United flights, A or B for other airlines. 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.
Book the return to Fairfield University at the same time; the flight is tracked and waiting time starts only when you land. Newark guide →
