Taxi Service in Riverdale, NJ (Morris County) — 24/7 Cabs at the 287/23 Junction
Riverdale is a small borough in the north-east of Morris County, between Butler, Kinnelon and Pequannock. What it lacks in size it makes up in traffic: Interstate 287 and Route 23 meet inside the borough, so more cars pass through Riverdale in an hour than live in it.
Our base at 512 Logan Drive in Landing is about twenty-five road miles to the south-west. Being on the junction makes Riverdale one of the quickest places in the north of the county to reach — and to leave for the airport from.

The last borough out of Pequannock
Pequannock Township once covered much of this corner of the county, and over a century it was carved into smaller municipalities: Butler in 1901, Kinnelon and Lincoln Park in 1922, and finally Riverdale in 1923, approved by the Legislature in March and by referendum on 17 April 1923.
There is a much better-known Riverdale in the Bronx, and apps sometimes mix the two up. This is Riverdale, Morris County, 07457 — worth saying when you book with anyone.
Living on the junction
The 287/23 interchange shapes daily life here. The shopping centres cluster by it, the main roads carry through-traffic at rush hour, and a short local trip can take longer than it should if the interchange is backed up.
For us it is an advantage: from Riverdale we are on the interstate in a minute, north or south, which makes airport runs and cross-county trips quicker than from almost anywhere else nearby. Tell us which side of the interchange you are on when you book.
The route we drive to Newark Airport
From Riverdale to EWR is about 29 miles. We take I-287 south to I-80 east, then the Parkway or Route 21 to the terminals.
- Before 6:00 AM — about 40 minutes.
- 7:00 to 9:30 AM — allow 65 minutes.
- 4:00 to 7:00 PM — 65 to 70 minutes.
Three and a quarter hours before a domestic flight departing before 9 AM, and four for international.
Shopping trips and short hops
With the big stores gathered by the interchange, a lot of our Riverdale trips are short: to the shops and back, to a doctor in Butler or Pompton Plains, or to a station.
Short rides are quoted flat before the car arrives, and if you need a driver to wait while you shop, that can be arranged at the hourly rate.

Dispatch never closes. The interstate makes night runs from Riverdale easy, and a car booked in advance means no waiting for an app to find a driver at 4 AM.

Short trips are quoted flat before you get in: to Butler, Kinnelon and Pequannock, Pompton Lakes across the county line, or Boonton.
Why book us instead of a rideshare app
A fixed fare, a named driver, a car assigned in advance — and a dispatcher who will not send it to the Bronx.
Groups and occasions
A Sprinter van seats twelve — for airport trips, parties and weddings. We arrive early and keep to the timings.
Coming home to Riverdale from the airport
Book both legs together. We watch the flight, the car meets it when it lands, and the interstate takes you straight back to the junction at the fare agreed.
