Dispatch Policy for EWR airport pickup

Dispatch Policy
In order to optimize dead time for the drivers and save wait time charges to our customers, vehicles are dispatched just in time, as soon as flight land or the flight is at the gate. We can customize these dispatch times as per kind of travel, such as, with luggage, with no luggage, customs or no customs or other customer preferences.
Your flight arrival may be delayed due to weather or some other reasons, so we do not dispatch a vehicle until your flight is about to land. Since our Dispatch system is linked to

FlightView, it is designed to dispatch the next available vehicle with optimized Dispatch policies for on-time arrival of the vehicle for your pickup and minimize dead time for drivers.

Based on our 37 years of industry experience, we have optimized our Dispatch Policy, as below, to save waiting time charges to the customers and dead time for the drivers. The Dispatch Delay Option gives you the control, if you wish, to delay or expedite the time of dispatch.

During inclement weather when there are erratic flight delays, flights may land but sit on the tarmac for some extended period of time and do not make to the gate until some time (due to unavailability of the gate, as all the flight start landing at the same time after the weather clears), we switch to a Dispatch only when the flight is at the gate model, or when you call us that you are ready.

Flight Check: Automated Flight arrival confirmation and pickup time updates

With direct API integration of SmartCab®, Elite’s Dispatch system, with FlightView, we track all incoming flights from scheduled departure time from the originating city to touchdown time at the NYC destinations, JFK, EWR and LGA, providing ETA updates, flight diversions and flight cancellations.

Port Authority Airport Access Fee

Airport access

In 2019, Port Authority of NY and NJ approved the implementation of “airport access fee” surcharges on FHV and taxi trips, with the revenue earmarked to support the agency’s capital programs. Currently, this surcharge of $2.50 applies to all pickups and drops by Taxis or private hires.

EWR Newark Liberty International Airport - General Information

newark airport

Having started out as a site for 2 regional airstrips for US Airmail Service in the 1920’s, Newark Liberty International Airport, originally Newark Metropolitan Airport evolved into the first great commercial airport in the United States. During 2022, the airport served 43.4 million passengers, which made it then the 13th-busiest airport in the nation and the 23rd-busiest airport in the world. Newark serves 50 carriers and is the largest hub for United Airlines.

Newark along with John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport all serve the NYC metropolitan area. Although Newark is technically in New Jersey, it’s easier to access from the westside of Manhattan than JFK and handles the greater portion of New Jersey travelers.

Impact on travelers: Pricing regulations have recently changed. Since 1945 airlines followed (International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines that as all 3 airports (EWR, JFK and LGA) serviced the NY Metro Area they were grouped together under the city code NYC. Under new rules adapted in 2022 Newark is listed as a separate city code, EWR. Previously passengers had the option of freely changing flights, i.e. from arriving in JFK to arriving in LGA or EWR — without a penalty.

EWR Airport: Sadly Also A Favorite Location for Hustlers
How NOT to get conned

Beware of hustlers at the EWR Newark Liberty Airport. It is an age-old curse by “Criminals taking advantage of just arriving passengers at EWR or other similar ports of disembarkation”. Despite regular loudspeaker announcements broadcasted by the Port Authority and signage in all terminals warning travelers, people still fall victim to these expert fraudsters. Criminals posing as legitimate taxi or limo drivers solicit arriving tourists or visitors and take them for a ride (literally). Once in their vehicle you may be overcharged, threatened or dumped at some random location. These Hustlers are waiting

hustlers
outside the customs gates or the baggage claim area. Never speak to solicitors offering you a taxi or limo. It is best to just ignore them or tell them you have a ride. As they sometimes organize into teams, beware of “fakes” with phone in hand pretending to be a busy dispatcher. Police have, in addition to dealing with constant traffic and safety issues, not been very effective in dealing with this issue. You need to watch out for yourself. Be a well-informed traveler.

At EWR Newark Liberty Airport, the best way of getting airport transfer or transportation is to pre-book your ride with a legitimate Private Hire, limo or Black Car service. The other good options are to get a taxi at the airport-controlled taxi line or get an Uber or Lyft. The Information Counter just outside the Customs Hall can guide you to the Taxi Line or your Private Hire, Black Car or Uber-Lyft pick up area. Know your fare in advance. At EWR, Taxi Fare for Manhattan is fixed. If you are going someplace other than Manhattan, ask the Taxi Dispatcher for an estimated fare to your destination. Cost of your pre-arrange Private Hire, Black Car or limo ride should also be fixed and include all charges including tolls, taxes and credit card fees, etc. Only pay by credit card, even in a taxi. Before entering into a taxi, make certain that the driver will accept a credit card. Get a receipt. Please note down the Taxi License Number in case you forget something in the taxi. To avoid “Lost & Found” problems, using a legitimate Private Hire or Black Car Company that tracks your ride history and offers the surest way to get your property returned.

Frequently asked questions for EWR Airport

  1. Uber and other app based companies surge prices may be a lot higher and it may cost a lot more due to flight conditions. With multiple flight arrivals at the same time creates more demand at the airport sporadically resulting in unpredictable and higher prices which may be 2-3 times the usual fare
  2. Uber drivers don’t make inside pickups so you spend extra time looking for your driver in the maze of cars lined up to pick up the passenger in the passenger pickup area. This situation gets worse in the inclement weather.

Uber cost depends upon travel distance and time. Since New York city traffic is unpredictable at times, the cost of an Uber ride would fall within a wide range.

Unlike Elite Limousine, Uber prices surge during peak hours or when the demand is more in a certain geographical area. Multiple flight arrivals at or around the same time may create unusual demand resulting in surge prices.

Savvy travelers, especially with baggage, prefer to make fixed-rate or flat-rate reservations and choose inside pickups so drivers can assist passengers with the luggage and escort them to the parking lot. Although there is an extra charge for this service but when you compare it with the convenience then it is worth it.
  1. Free 60 mins waiting time helps for baggage claim and custom delays.
  2. Drivers assist with luggage handling so it is a lot more convenient after a long flight.
  3. Don’t have to go through the hassle of searching for your car at the crowded pickup area.
  4. Less chances of being conned by the hustlers.
