Many thanks in advance When we used to live in that area of New Jersey I used a great local company called New Road Limo-- they are at (973) 376-4694. I have not used them since 2019 so not sure if they made it through the pandemic or not but all of their cars were always brand new and immaculate.

trueeden Posted August 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Another local NJ option. I've used them multiple times into NYC or the airports. My Limo 973-929-5466 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Limo 973-929-5466 Thank you. We're looking for a limo service from Elizabeth to the Port of Bayonne and return to the hotel. We don't want to take the shuttle service from the hotel. Had bad experience there last time and had to wait over an hour to be picked up so not doing that again. I think the last time we used a lime it was the Black Limo service and they were OK.

Corby114 Posted September 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Carmel and Dial 7 are recommended car services in the Metropolitan New York area. A good New Jersey company I personally use is Garden State Limo. They transport my family from Northern New Jersey to Newark International Airport all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has regularly occurred to me that free shuttle services from hotels are not worth their cost. You usually have to wait until the vehicle shows up, then you have to wait until it fills up, then you have the crowded ride to the port. If there is any sort of reasonably priced alternative I prefer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were not the only ones either. Some had planes to catch also. I looked up some of those car options and it looks like it's $200 each way. Last time we used the limo service it was $50 each way so times have changed I guess. We decided to take the hotel van over and then cab it back to the hotel. Going there isn't so bad, it's the return pick up that was the worst. Believe me I raised hell with the hotel and the service. Hotel said they have nothing to do with the transportation. They take the money so they should expect their customers to have some kind of good service. The transportation people said they had traffic??! Really, I would think you would know that since you do the transportation every day and know there are people waiting. So I hope the plan works with the taxi but we have a lot of luggage and a walker so it has to be big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in a port with many ships, like Fort Lauderdale, you could have a long ride all around the port if your ship is the last stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we can have pretty bad traffic here due to accidents, right now I’m hearing a few helicopters which means there is probably an accident on a nearby highway. I check Waze regardless of the day or time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
