Quick answers
Where is pickup at Newark Terminal A, B and C?
At Terminal A, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb area assigned to prearranged cars. At Terminal B, pickup is also at the arrivals curb area for prearranged cars. At Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. Follow the instructions in your booking.
Where do app rides and taxis pick up at Newark?
Taxis use the official taxi stand at arrivals, Level 1, at Terminals A, B and C. App rides pick up on the arrivals level across the street from Terminal A, at the Terminal B arrivals frontage and in the Terminal C parking garage, Level 3. Collect your bags before you request an app ride.
Terminal A: across the street for app rides
Terminal A pickup has separate paths for reserved cars, taxis and app rides. Use the A row in the matrix after collecting your bags, and follow the signs for the service you chose. Request an app ride once your luggage is collected; for a reserved chauffeur, follow the pickup instructions provided with your booking.
Tell your group which ride you arranged and who will coordinate when everyone has their bags. Keep the travelers together as you leave arrivals, then follow the directions for your selected pickup mode. The airport Welcome Center can help you find the official taxi stand.
Terminal B: arrivals frontage for app rides
At Terminal B, use the matrix for the instructions that match your service and give your group one clear meeting plan. International travelers should complete arrival formalities and collect their luggage before walking to the vehicle. Have one passenger coordinate the group and call the chauffeur when everyone is together and ready.
Keep bags and passengers together, and have one traveler share any change to the flight or terminal details with the chauffeur. For taxi directions, airport Welcome Center staff can point you to the official stand. For other services, use the terminal and pickup instructions in your booking.
Terminal C: arrivals curb or the Terminal C Garage
At Newark Terminal C, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals curb or in the Terminal C Garage, Level 3. App rides also use the Terminal C Garage, Level 3, and taxis use the official stand at arrivals, Level 1. Check the C row before leaving arrivals, then follow the signs for your service.
Collect your luggage before leaving the terminal and keep the group on the same plan. If you arranged a reserved car, use the meeting point provided for your trip rather than following directions intended for another service. A taxi uses the official stand listed in the matrix.
AirTrain construction is a partial service change
The airport's current notice covers a partial weekday suspension of the Airport Train Station link, not the entire AirTrain. The closure runs Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.; it began July 27, 2026, and the Port Authority's latest advisories say it runs through Friday, November 20, 2026. Check the airport's AirTrain alert for the current dates before using rail.
During the stated closure, arriving rail passengers take a free bus from the Airport Train Station to the terminals. Departing passengers take AirTrain to P4 and transfer to the station shuttle. This rail connection update does not change the terminal meeting instructions for a reserved car.
Landing is not the same as being ready for the car
Add your airline and flight number when booking so True North VIP can track the arriving flight. After landing, complete arrival steps, collect your bags and call your chauffeur when your group is ready. Airport waiting begins at landing; baggage collection and arrival processing take place afterward, so allow time to gather everyone before heading to the vehicle.
Use this arrival sequence:
- Add the airline and flight number when you book.
- Note your arrival terminal and whether you chose curbside pickup or an indoor greeting.
- After landing, complete arrival steps and collect your bags.
- Gather your group and follow the meeting instructions.
- Call 888-887-0324 if your flight or terminal details change.
Have one traveler share any location update so everyone follows the same meeting plan. See the flight tracking and delay policy for details.
An indoor greeting does not change vehicle access
Choose the $25 meet and greet when you want your chauffeur inside the terminal with a name sign and luggage help. Your chauffeur meets you indoors, while the vehicle loads at the airport-assigned pickup area for prearranged cars. Keep the meeting point and car-loading point clear when you plan your arrival.
See the airport meet and greet service for details. When booking, include your terminal and a passenger contact so your group knows where to meet after landing.
Verify the reserved vehicle before boarding
At the airport, match the driver and vehicle to the details in your booking before getting in. If they do not match, call the number on your booking or True North VIP at 888-887-0324. Airport Welcome Center staff can help with wayfinding; use the official information desk rather than accepting an unsolicited transportation offer.
At a busy terminal, have one traveler coordinate the group and pickup type. Follow the meeting point in your booking instead of using a general map pin, and keep your phone available for a call from your chauffeur if the airport directs you to a different area.
Set your airport meeting plan before travel
Before you travel, put the arrival terminal, flight number, passenger count, destination and pickup choice on one booking. Tell your group whether to meet curbside or inside with the chauffeur, then have one person coordinate when everyone has collected their bags. Clear trip details give the group one practical plan to follow.
If your flight or terminal changes, call 888-887-0324 so you can update the trip details. For a rail connection, use the AirTrain guidance below; a reserved road pickup follows the meeting instructions for the terminal.
Newark pickup and AirTrain planning
AirTrain is for rail connections, not a required step for every EWR road pickup. Follow the reserved-car meeting instructions for your terminal; use the airport's rail alert if your trip includes Newark Airport Train Station. Read the EWR AirTrain replacement guide for shuttle directions and rail options.
