| Company | Waiting after landing | Flight tracking | Newark to Manhattan price | Tolls |

| 2. Blacklane | 1 hour | Yes | Distance-based, not listed on its EWR page | Taxes, tolls and tips included in its published New York terms |

Artisan Limo
1. Artisan Limo: planned Newark airport car service
Tolls in the price
Required trip costs, including the bridge and tunnel charges for your route, are in the price you see before you book. Gratuity is optional.
Time for bags and customs
In a sedan or SUV, 60 minutes after a domestic landing and 90 minutes after an international landing, counted from wheels-down. For Sprinters and vans, waiting is set in the written quote.
Your pickup moves with your flight
Real-time tracking of your airline flight, and optional meet-and-greet inside the terminal for $25 on eligible arrivals.
Price first
Sedans start at $135, Suburbans at $155, Escalades at $185 and S-Class or 7 Series sedans at $235.
Blacklane
2. Blacklane: one app in many countries
Blacklane publishes one hour of airport waiting and flight tracking. Its New York service page says taxes, tolls and tips are included. The fare is quoted for your trip; check the confirmed meeting point and cancellation terms for your booking.
Gotham Ride
3. Gotham Ride: tolls and tip built in
Gotham Ride’s airport hub lists a Business Sedan example of about $172 from Manhattan to Newark. That is the opposite direction from this comparison, so it is not an EWR-arrival fare. Its airport marketing advertises standard tolls and a 15% online gratuity, but its terms permit additional charges and its pages give differing waiting allowances. Request a current inbound quote with the waiting window and all extras specified.
Dial 7
4. Dial 7: a low listed fare
Dial 7 lists Newark sedans from $69. Its rates don't include tolls, gratuity, the Port Authority fee, the congestion fee or parking, so the final price is higher. Its meet-and-greet bookings include 30 minutes of domestic and 45 minutes of international waiting; that allowance does not describe its curbside dispatch flow. For curbside pickups you tap "I'm Ready" or reply to a text once you have your bags.
Carmel
5. Carmel: a lower advertised fare
Carmel’s detailed rates page lists Newark to Manhattan from $59 in a full-size sedan; its homepage has different promotional figures, so verify your date and direction in the booking quote. It says tolls are always charged on Newark trips, starting from $23.55, and gratuity is extra. It offers an option to prepay the estimated toll.
