CasinoCruzGirl Posted October 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvsullivan Posted October 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2014 $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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenfromjersey Posted October 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2014 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.

mjkacmom Posted October 14, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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] Sent from my SGH-T399 using Tapatalk Edited October 14, 2014 by maywell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted October 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) 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?
