Can anyone recommend a taxi service from NJ to Manhattan Port?

[ladybugpug]

We are planning on staying in Seacucus and then getting a taxi van (5 of us) from the hotel to the pier. So far my cheapest rate given is $72 which is about $20 more than I am willing to pay. Anyone use a service that is less expensive and remember the name?:)

That is about the best you are going to find. We been checking prices for a car service for 4 people from Newark to Manhattan. Best price we have found is $80.00. Good luck and have a great trip.

I agree...most services..are in the $70-80 range...

And add the cost of the tip to that. We had a van pick us up about 5 or so miles west of there (9 of us), and it was around $100, I believe. I know it was much lower than parking 2 vehicles at the port.

Try Dial 7. We used them when we cruised out of NYC last summer. We weren't in New Jersey, but I'd bet they service EWR. It was Quick and Painless, and definetly cheaper than a cab.

They're website says EWR to Manhattan is $44. Not bad.

OP needs a mini van because they have 5 passengers traveling. Your $44 quote is for a sedan from EWR, not a mini van from Secaucus. In fact the $72 fare quoted by OP is exactly the quote you get from Dial 7's web site for 5 passengers going from Secaucus to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal.

The Linclon Tunnel or GW Bridge toll alone has gone up to $12.00 ..the price is realy fair.

I'm not sure the quote includes tolls. It's the same price you get from Dial 7's web site...and that does not include tolls (or tip).

Then the OP will defintely not be happy with the price!

Not sure what we are going to do. I was trying to have a less stressful ride by going in the day before, but didn't want to spend much more than driving in that morning and paying to park at the terminal.

 

May cancel the hotel and may not, lol. I hate planning stuff. :cool:

Usually tolls,tax and tip is NOT included in any published price:mad:
