Taxi Service in Pequannock & Pompton Plains, NJ — 24/7 Cabs & Airport Rides
Pequannock Township sits at the north-eastern corner of Morris County where the Pompton and Pequannock rivers meet, with Wayne and Pompton Lakes just over the Passaic County line. Pompton Plains is a section of the township, not a separate town, and it is where most of what matters here sits: the Newark-Pompton Turnpike, the shops, and Chilton Medical Center.
Two things shape our work in Pequannock more than anywhere else we cover. One is Chilton, the only hospital serving the township. The other is water — this is a flood township, and knowing which roads go under and which stay open is not trivia here, it is the job. Our base at 512 Logan Drive in Landing is about twenty-five miles west.

A flood township, and what that means for your pickup
Low-lying parts of Pequannock, Wayne and Pompton Lakes flood. In the Village section of Pompton Plains the water reaches across a broad area between the railroad tracks and the river — roughly Jackson Avenue at the north end down to Riverside Drive at the south. The township publishes flood maps and safety guidance for exactly this reason, and it names Route 23 and the Newark-Pompton Turnpike as the primary roads to move on.
For us that is operational, not background. When the rivers are up we plan the approach before the car leaves, we tell you honestly if a street is not reachable rather than sending a driver to find out, and we will agree a pickup point a few streets up rather than cancel on you. If you have an early flight and the forecast is bad, say so when you book and we will build the extra time in.
Chilton Medical Center rides
Chilton Medical Center at 97 West Parkway in Pompton Plains is the only hospital serving Pequannock Township, part of Atlantic Health. Its origins go back to 1947, when Dr Forrest S. Chilton Jr. and his wife donated land on the Newark-Pompton Turnpike to build it.
Because it is the area’s only hospital, a large share of our Pequannock work runs to and from it: appointments, treatment courses, and discharges at hours when family cannot drive. We operate a wheelchair-accessible vehicle — ask for it when you book, and tell us the entrance so we meet you there rather than across the site.
The route we drive to Newark Airport
From Pequannock it is roughly 26 miles to EWR, usually Route 23 south to I-287, then NJ-24 east down to the terminals.
- Before 6:00 AM — about 35 minutes.
- 7:00 to 9:30 AM — Route 23 south is the constraint long before the airport is. Budget 55 to 60 minutes.
- 4:00 to 7:00 PM — the same corridor plus terminal traffic. Budget 60 minutes.
Leave three hours ahead for a domestic departure before 9 AM, three hours forty-five for international. Teterboro is closer still, from $99, and worth asking about if that is where you are actually flying from.
Pompton Plains and the Turnpike
The Newark-Pompton Turnpike is the spine of Pompton Plains — the shops, the services and the hospital all sit on or just off it. It is also a road that carries a lot of through traffic, which is why a five-minute local errand can take fifteen at the wrong time of day.
Short local runs are quoted as a flat fare before you get in. Around the Turnpike, across to the Village, or over to Riverdale and Pompton Lakes — these are the everyday trips, and none of them are priced by the meter.
Who rides with us in Pequannock
The township’s demand is unusually medical and unusually weather-sensitive:
- Chilton patients and visitors — appointments, treatment courses and late discharges at the area’s only hospital.
- Airport travellers weighing Newark against Teterboro, which from this corner of the county is a genuine choice.
- Households in the flood-prone streets, who would rather have a driver who already knows the situation than explain it at 5 AM.
- Cross-border trips into Wayne, Pompton Lakes and Passaic County, which is where a lot of Pequannock life actually happens.
- Older residents for whom the Turnpike is not walkable and a second car is not available.
Booking a taxi in Pequannock
Call (973) 306-7075 at any hour. Give us the street as well as the house number — in the Village especially, we would rather know exactly where you are before the car sets off.
For a hospital run, tell us the entrance and whether you need the accessible vehicle. For an airport run in bad weather, book early and we will add the buffer rather than discovering the problem on the morning.
Pequannock to New York City
Direct is from $165 one-way with tolls added at the end. From this corner of the county the drive is straightforward and for two or more people travelling together it usually beats parking somewhere and connecting — particularly for a late return, when getting back across the rivers at midnight is not something you want to improvise.
Early mornings, late nights and weekends
We dispatch twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. At the county’s northern edge, driver supply outside commuting hours is thin — you are at the far end of everyone else’s patch. A booked car is held for you rather than offered to whichever driver happens to be closest.
Hospital shifts, late discharges from Chilton and flights landing near midnight all sit in that gap, and all of them are routine bookings for us.
Crossing into Passaic County
Pequannock’s everyday life does not respect the county line. Wayne is next door, Pompton Lakes and Riverdale are minutes away, and plenty of residents work and shop across it.
Those trips are priced from the same distance bands as anything else. Crossing from Morris into Passaic does not change the rate card and does not mean a different driver has to be found.
Why book us instead of a rideshare app
Here the difference is concrete. The fare is fixed when you book, so a 5 AM run does not cost more than a midday one. The car is assigned in advance, so nobody cancels on you at the door. And when the rivers are up, a driver who knows the township will route around it rather than accept the job, drive into a closed road and cancel — which is exactly what happens otherwise.
Group trips, weddings and occasions
A Sprinter van takes up to twelve, which turns a family airport run into one vehicle rather than three. For weddings we work to the timings rather than the mileage and arrive early rather than on time.
For anything with a fixed start — a service, a flight, an appointment — book the round trip so the return is already arranged.
Coming back to Pequannock from the airport
Book the return with the outbound. Give us the flight number and we track it, so landing two hours late does not cost you the car or change the price. A twenty-six mile run back to the top of the county at midnight, possibly in weather, is precisely the trip that app supply does not want and a pre-booking makes uneventful.
Our Fleet Includes:
- Luxury sedan — up to three passengers with luggage.
- Executive SUV — up to six passengers, room for extra bags.
- Sprinter van — up to twelve passengers for groups and events.
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicle — available on request when you book.

Explore Our Frequently Asked Questions
The questions Pequannock and Pompton Plains callers actually ask.
How much is a taxi from Pequannock to Newark Airport?
From $105 one-way in a sedan, confirmed at booking. It is roughly 26 miles via Route 23 south, I-287 and NJ-24, about 35 minutes before 6 AM and 55 to 60 in the morning peak. Teterboro is closer, from $99. Tolls and tax are added at the end.
Do you cover Pompton Plains?
Yes — Pompton Plains is a section of Pequannock Township rather than a separate town, and it is where most of our township work is: the Newark-Pompton Turnpike, the Village, and Chilton Medical Center. Same rates, same cars.
Do you run to Chilton Medical Center?
Yes, twenty-four hours, to and from 97 West Parkway. Chilton is the only hospital serving the township so it is a large share of our work here, including late discharges. We also operate a wheelchair-accessible vehicle — ask when you book and tell us the entrance.
What happens if the roads are flooded?
We plan the approach before the car leaves rather than sending a driver to find out. The Village section between the tracks and the river is the area that goes first, and Route 23 and the Newark-Pompton Turnpike are the roads that stay usable longest. If a street is not reachable we will tell you and agree a pickup point nearby rather than cancel.
How early should I leave Pequannock for a morning flight at EWR?
Three hours ahead for a domestic departure and three hours forty-five for international. The constraint is Route 23 south between 7:00 and 9:30 AM. If heavy rain is forecast, tell us when you book and we will add a buffer.
Do you run twenty-four hours in Pequannock?
Yes, twenty-four hours, seven days a week, including holidays. At the northern edge of the county there are simply fewer cars around outside commuting hours, so a pre-booked pickup is held for you rather than hunted for at the time.
Do you cross into Wayne, Pompton Lakes and Passaic County?
Yes, routinely — a lot of Pequannock life happens over the county line. Those trips come from the same distance bands, so there is no surcharge for leaving Morris County.
Can I book a return from the airport back to Pequannock?
Yes, and booking both legs together is worth it. Give us the flight number and we track it, so a delayed landing does not lose you the car or change the price. Meet-and-greet inside the terminal is available at EWR.
How many passengers can you take?
A sedan takes up to three with luggage, an executive SUV up to six, and a Sprinter van up to twelve. For a family airport run with full suitcases the SUV is usually the sensible call.
How is this different from a rideshare app in Pequannock?
The fare is fixed when you book, the car is assigned in advance so nobody cancels on you, and the driver knows the township — including which streets are not passable when the rivers are up. That last one is not a small difference here.
