Central NJ to pier 88

[CasinoCruzGirl]

Started checking car service actually vans for our cruise. Leaving central nj (exit 9 on tpk). There are 8 of us plus all our luggage about (10-12 pieces). Having them pick us up at 9:15 am so to arrive around 10:30 ish. Getting some crazy rates. $225 each way includes tolls and tip. Anyone know of a cheaper limo/van service from this area to the pier? Bus is not an option. Thank you.

Try Royal Ways Transportation 973-289-2371. Good luck finding a better rate.

$28 each for about 50 mile trip sounds pretty reasonable? Up North in the Boston metro area, we pay $85 each for about 60 miles. Not sure what would be a better option. Drive yourself and park at the terminal?

Yeah I guess now that I think about it $225 isn't to bad for 8 of us. I'll just keep checking. Driving and parking would cost a lot more. We would need 2 cars and that would be almost $600. So in the realm of things the van is cheaper. Only problem is it's really not $28 pp because my DH is paying for the whole thing.

Yeah there really isn't a cheaper option out there. We have been looking for transportation for 5 of us (the other two are meeting us at the port) from Exit 8 on the turnpike, and I think the cheapest we found was still over $150 each way. I keep trying to tell my father that the 5 of us just parking at the port with his SUV is the best option, and this way we are on our schedule.

If 8 of us could fit in 1 car with all our luggage it would be a no brainer but we would need 2 cars and it's cheaper for the van service @ $225 each way.

That doesn't sound bad. I think I got a quote around $170 each way for 7 of us, exit 16w, and it is usually a 20 minute drive to the pier.

Now that I think about it - $225 for 8 people w/ their lugguage in a van or SUV is not bad, especially from central NJ to Manhattan. Is that $225 with or w/o tax?

 

You answer the tips and toll question. [emoji1]

That price from exit 9 seems about right. The limo companies around here are pretty competitively priced.

 

Alternatively, would a family member/friend drop you off if they have a vehicle that is large enough? and then pick you up?

I highly doubt he is, lol. :D If not, someone will probably hit it big at the slot pull. ;)
