Yes Keith I do not use Uber. I use Welcome Pickups in Europe and it usually works fine although it has been receiving mixed reviews lately. They were reliable in Istanbul and Barcelona. With Welcome Pickups you get the information about your driver including his photo, handy number and photo of his car in advance. Does Dial7 works the same way? What is customary to tip in USA for such transfers? I am not sure if Welcome Pickups operates in New York. I will check.
 

Thanks also Whipsnade for your recommendation for a taxi. Are taxis easily available at the port of Bayonne?

Every time I've used either Uber or Lyft I get a photo of the driver with a description on the car including the license plate.

Should be taxis at cruise terminal. $50-$60 to EWR.

$90 to hi from Bayonne to EWR is outrageous. Get a cab. It is about a ten minute ride. 

I’d go with Lyft or Uber over a NJ cab, but yes that quote was very high.

I’m local and never heard of welcome pickup. We are 12 miles from Newark airport and use Uber often if no one is available for a ride to or from the airport.
