Taxi Service in Montville, NJ — Towaco & Pine Brook Cabs, 24/7
Montville Township is three villages that grew up separately and were later joined into one municipality: Montville proper, the historic centre along Main Road on Route 202; Towaco, which has its own ZIP code and its own railway station; and Pine Brook, the commercial southern end strung along Route 46. The Lake Valhalla community sits on the eastern edge, and the whole township lies in the foothills of the Highlands.
People here still say which village they live in rather than “Montville”, and it matters to a driver, because the three are a real distance apart. Our base at 512 Logan Drive in Landing is about twenty miles west, and we cover all three at the same rates.
Montville taxi and car service fares
Quoted before you ride and held to — the same price from Montville, Towaco or Pine Brook, and no surge at any hour.
| From Montville to | One-way, sedan |
|---|---|
| Newark Liberty (EWR) | from $105 |
| JFK | from $205 |
| LaGuardia (LGA) | from $175 |

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.
Why there is no one-seat ride to Manhattan
Towaco station sits on Route 202 and is served by NJ Transit’s Montclair-Boonton Line. The catch is the connection: to reach midtown Manhattan from Towaco you change trains at Montclair. There is no direct service.
For a daily commuter that is manageable. For an early flight, a night out in the city, or a day when you are carrying anything, a change of train in the middle turns a journey into an expedition — and that is where most of our Montville work comes from. Manhattan direct by car is from $165 one-way, tolls added at the end.
Three villages, three different pickups
Montville proper is the older centre on Main Road, quieter and set back from the highways. Towaco is built around its station, so the work there is trains and timetables. Pine Brook, down on Route 46, is the commercial end — shops, businesses and a road nobody crosses on foot.
Tell us the village along with the street when you book. It is the single most useful thing you can give us here, because a driver heading for Pine Brook when you are in Towaco is ten minutes in the wrong direction on a road with nowhere to turn round.
The route we drive to Newark Airport
From Montville it is roughly 25 miles to EWR, usually I-287 south then NJ-24 east, or down Route 46 and across when 287 is heavy. Pine Brook, being the southern village, is a few minutes closer than Towaco.
- Before 6:00 AM — about 35 minutes.
- 7:00 to 9:30 AM — I-287 south is the constraint. Budget 55 minutes.
- 4:00 to 7:00 PM — the same road plus terminal traffic. Budget 55 to 60 minutes.
Leave three hours ahead for a domestic flight before 9 AM and three and three-quarters for international.
Lake Valhalla and the Highlands edge
The eastern side of the township climbs into the Highlands, and the Lake Valhalla community sits up there on roads that wind and loop rather than run straight. Addresses are set back, the lanes are unlit, and in winter the climb holds ice after the main roads have cleared.
Give us the house number and a landmark for anything up that way. A driver who has been there before does not need a second call from halfway up the hill.
Who rides with us in Montville
Three villages produce three patterns of demand:
- Towaco commuters, to and from the station on Route 202.
- Airport travellers who do not want a 25-mile pre-dawn drive and a week of parking.
- Pine Brook businesses on the Route 46 strip and their visitors.
- Lake Valhalla households on the hill roads, especially in winter.
- Older residents heading to Chilton in Pompton Plains or Saint Clare’s in Denville.
Booking a taxi in Montville
Call (973) 306-7075 at any hour. Give us the village — Montville, Towaco or Pine Brook — and then the street. For the station, the train. For the hill roads, a landmark.
For an airport run, book the night before so the car is held for you rather than routed mid-shift.
Pine Brook and the Route 46 corridor
Pine Brook is the township’s working end: businesses, warehousing and retail along Route 46, with easy reach of I-80 and I-287. It is the part of Montville that generates weekday business travel rather than commuting.
Visitors flying into Newark for a meeting at a Pine Brook business are a regular booking — flight tracked, car waiting, return leg the same evening. Ask about an account if your office books regularly.
Early mornings, late nights and weekends
We dispatch twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. The Montclair-Boonton Line does not cover the hours when most airport travel happens, and rideshare supply on the township’s quieter roads before dawn is thin. A booked car is held for you rather than offered to whoever is nearest.
Late returns from Newark are the other half of it, and the leg most often forgotten at booking time.
Local fares across the township
Short runs are quoted flat before you get in. Towaco station to home, Pine Brook to the Route 46 shops, Montville to Boonton, Lincoln Park or Lake Hiawatha — all priced as the local trips they are, and the same rate in all three villages.
Why book us instead of a rideshare app
The fare is fixed when you book, so a 4 AM run costs what you were quoted. The car is assigned in advance, so nobody cancels on you on a dark lane. And a driver who knows Montville knows that Towaco, Pine Brook and Montville proper are three different places — which an app that sees one township name does not.
Groups, weddings and occasions
A Sprinter van takes up to twelve — a family airport run, a group heading out, or guests moving between a ceremony and a reception. For weddings we work to the timings rather than the mileage and arrive early rather than on time.
Coming back to Montville from the airport
Book the return with the outbound. Give us the flight number and we track it — land two hours late and the car is still there at the agreed fare. Twenty-five miles back to a hill road at midnight is not a trip to leave to chance at arrivals.
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.
Around Montville
Boonton and Boonton Township sit to the west, Lincoln Park and Pequannock north-east, Parsippany and Lake Hiawatha south-west, and Fairfield over the Essex County line. All are worked from the same base and priced from the same distance bands.

Explore Our Frequently Asked Questions
The questions Montville, Towaco and Pine Brook callers actually ask.
How much is a taxi from Montville to Newark Airport?
From $105 one-way in a sedan, confirmed at booking, from any of the three villages. It is roughly 25 miles via I-287 south and NJ-24 — about 35 minutes before 6 AM and 55 in the morning peak. Tolls and tax are added at the end.
Can I get a direct train from Towaco to Manhattan?
No. Towaco station is on the Montclair-Boonton Line and reaching midtown means changing trains at Montclair. For early flights, late returns or anything with luggage, a direct car from $165 is usually the simpler option.
Do you cover Towaco and Pine Brook as well as Montville?
Yes, all three villages at the same rates — they make up Montville Township. Tell us which village you are in when you book; it is the most useful detail you can give us here.
Can you pick me up at Towaco station?
Yes. The station is on Route 202. Give us the train you are on and the driver will be waiting when it arrives rather than circling.
How early should I leave Montville for a morning flight?
Three hours before a domestic departure and three and three-quarters for international. The constraint is I-287 south between 7:00 and 9:30 AM, not the airport itself.
Do you go up to Lake Valhalla and the hill roads?
Yes. Give us a landmark as well as the house number — the lanes wind, they are unlit, and in winter they hold ice longer than the main roads.
Do you run in Montville twenty-four hours a day?
Yes, twenty-four hours, seven days a week, including holidays — which covers the hours the Montclair-Boonton Line does not.
Can I book the return from Newark to Montville?
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.
Do you handle business visitors to Pine Brook?
Yes — flight tracked, car waiting at Newark, and the return leg booked at the same time. If your office books regularly, an account puts it all on one monthly invoice.
How is this different from a rideshare app in Montville?
The fare is fixed when you book, the car is assigned in advance so a pre-dawn pickup actually arrives, and the driver knows that Towaco, Pine Brook and Montville proper are three separate places rather than one dot on a map.
