Car Service & Taxi in Essex County, NJ — Montclair, the Oranges & the Caldwells
Essex County is Newark’s county. Newark is the county seat, Newark Liberty sits on its southern edge, and around the city spread the older suburbs — Montclair, Bloomfield and Nutley to the north, the Oranges and Maplewood to the west, Millburn and Short Hills beyond, and the Caldwells, Roseland and Fairfield along the Morris County line.
We are based in Landing, Morris County. Essex is not where our cars park overnight, so here we are a pre-booked service: airport runs, early starts, events and long trips, arranged in advance at a fixed fare.
Essex County fares
Being close to the airport keeps Essex fares low. The exact figure depends on your town and is fixed at booking.
| From Essex County to | One-way, sedan |
|---|---|
| Newark Liberty (EWR) | from $89 |

| LaGuardia (LGA) | from $145 |
| Philadelphia (PHL) | from $229 |

Tolls and tax are not included and are added at the end of the trip. Gratuity is at your discretion. We tell you the toll cost up front.
The airport on the doorstep
From most of Essex, Newark Liberty is fifteen to thirty minutes away. That short hop is exactly why people book a car rather than drive: a week of airport parking can cost more than the ride, and nobody has to be woken at 4 AM to do the drop.
We use the Garden State Parkway, I-280 and Route 21 depending on where you start, and check the traffic before we set the pickup time.

The western towns — the Caldwells, Roseland, Fairfield — border Morris County and are the quickest for us to reach.
Newark Penn, NJPAC and the Prudential Center
Downtown Newark brings a different kind of trip: trains at Newark Penn Station, concerts and shows at NJPAC, and games and concerts at the Prudential Center. Parking and traffic on event nights make a car with a driver the easy option.
Book the drop and a collection time, and tell us the entrance; the driver will be waiting when the crowd comes out.
Universities and hospitals
Essex has Seton Hall in South Orange and several Newark campuses, with Montclair State just over the line, plus major hospitals in Newark and Livingston. Term-start luggage runs, visiting families and appointment trips are all regular bookings.
