Uber

Using Uber in NJ puts you at risk of getting a driver without proper insurance or licensing as a car for hire. If you were unlucky enough to be injured in an accident you could find yourself without insurance coverage to compensate you for your injuries. As is the case in many places Uber in NJ operates on the fringes of legitimacy.

 

I'd never use then in NJ.

 

FYI, Uber is properly regulated in NY City and it's OK to use them there.

We used Uber from EWR to a Hilton in NY. No problems and happy with the service.

 

If you had been unfortunate enough to be injured in an accident while in your Uber car and then discovered the driver didn't have proper insurance you would have been responsible for paying your own medical bills. That would have been a real problem.

Just an update regarding the legal status of Uber in Newark. The mayor of Newark has announced a tentative deal that will allow Uber to operate in the city and at EWR; however, the agreement has not yet been formally approved by the city council.

I should add that I have no personal experience using Uber in Newark, and I'm neither recommending Uber nor advising against it. As always, travelers should be alert and aware of safety considerations.
