Do not book this Airport Transfer
DO NOT BOOK THIS AIRPORT TRANSFER!!! Our flight was delayed arriving into Newark due to storms in the area. There was a ground stop at the airport with very few planes able to arrive or depart. We were diverted to Pittsburgh 3 hours into a 4 hour flight. On arrival in Pittsburgh I messaged them at 18.15, to advise of the delay and I would advise as soon as we knew any update. Our flight was meant to arrive at 18.16 into Newark, at 19.31 I received a message saying that the driver had waited 3 hours for our party and left (even though I had previously advised arrival flight details (number and time), that we would have checked luggage and have to go through customs and passport control. After a prolonged back and forth the gist was that the driver was at home sleeping at 20.00 and would not be able to pick us up as he had already waited at the airport for 3 hours. And they were charging us the full price of €142 as a no show fee, even though as an airport transfer they should have been following the flight and issues at the airport that night. I have booked many airport transfers over the years and never been charged a no show fee for a delayed flight! They did not provide a refund. Instead offered a reduced fee of $90 for our actual arrival, which of course we did not go for. We got a wonderful uber when we arrived which cost $120 including tip. I booked this through Tripadvisor believing their reputation to not allow something like this to happen. Clearly I was very wrong and will not book through them in the future. SO DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AS THEY WILL CHARGE YOU A NO SHOW IF YOUR FLIGHT IS DELAYED!!!
Response from the operator: Hello travel, we respect your feedback and poor review. We had assigned a driver 1 hour prior your arrival and he was at the airport waiting for you already. Last minute cancelations are not refundable, especially for airport transfers and tours. This policy is clearly stated at the moment of purchasing the service. Your flight was not only delayed, it was diverted in flight to a different City and State. We are truly sorry that you had to go through all of that, and again, we respect your opinion and feedback.

Why this scores 38
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Newark.
How much does Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Newark usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Newark is not rushed.
Is Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Newark, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Newark can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Newark and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Transport from Newark Airport to Times Square New York start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Newark within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Newark?
+
Newark handles a lot of practical travel: airport transfers, port pickups for cruises, plus city walking tours, Ironbound food crawls and quick trips across the river into Manhattan. On Outty we rank every Newark experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game New Jersey: 60-Minute Adventure at American Dream, Experience Great Big Game Show New Jersey, New York, D.C, Niagara Falls & Boston 7-Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Newark?
+
April to June and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Newark?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
