Taxi from Newark Airport hotel to Cape Liberty

[dazey]

Can anyone tell me approximate cost of taxi ride from airport hotel to Cape Liberty? If we take the Celebrity shuttle for two it is $27 pp each way.  We take the hotel shuttle van back to airport from hotel to meet the Celebrity bus.  Very easy as the shuttle drops you off where the meeting place is.  Maybe the taxi from hotel might be even easier.

An Uber or Lyft is about $28 from the airport to Cape Liberty. I would highly discourage suing locals taxis in that part of New Jersey- they’re poorly regulated, generally filthy, and very old. Uber/Lyft will cost less and be much higher quality vehicle. 
 

Taking a private car from your hotel will both save you a ton of time as well as being literally half as expensive as taking the shuttle from the airport.

Yes.  Debarked from a Cape Liberty cruise this year on a rainy day. As I needed a ride only to the light rail station, I went to the taxi stand. Had to be at least 30 people waiting, with no cabs present. Though the worker had me wait in a different line by myself, I checked Uber. Uber appeared at the terminal in less than 5 minutes, the driver was waiting for me at the pick up point before I reached it, having walked from the taxi area.

 

Car services pick up at CL is at the terminal, in zones 6-10. When you exit the terminal after facial recognition, you are in zone 7.

 

Taxi service is in a parking lot opposite zone 10. You must use 2 crosswalks to reach the taxi area and there is no protection from the weather in the taxi area.
