Cab fare from EWR
 

Does anyone know what the cab fare now is from EWR to Manhattan's Upper West Side? It's been quite some time since I've taken one there, as I generally take the Olympia bus, but I'm looking at a late night flight, and I think I may want to get home faster.

We paid somewhere between 80 and 90 dollars from Central Park South last week (not sure of the exact figure as my other half paid the bill). Not quite the right area of Manhattan but should give you a rough idea.

Food for thought: It will be less expensive to call for one of the many inexpensive car services for that trip. Everybody has a preference. I like All-State: 212-333-3333. You meet them outside. There are of course services which will meet you inside but they will be more expensive.

The last time I took a cab from EWR (I'm on the UWS) it was around $70, tolls and tip included. Official rates are posted here.

From EWR it's gonna be about $55-60 with toll and tip.

best bet, though, is 212-777-7777. They'll have a car ready (just call when you land) and it's a sedan, not a cab.

I don't recommend this car service at all! Used them 4 times in the last 3 weeks from JFK to midtown and back. All 4 times the car showed up at least 20 minutes late. The last time, I waited an hour at JFK and spoke to them literally 8 times. Each time I was told the car would be there within 5 minutes. So I waited, and waited. After an hour, I hopped in a cab (it was now 11:45 PM) Just before going through the tunnel, I received 2 calls from 2 different drivers asking where I was.
Last week, my credit card was charged for 2 (TWO!) rides. So far they've removed one, and are saying I'll have to pay for the other.

I've had at best spotty service from Tel Aviv, Allstate, and the like (don't even MENTION Carmel), and not really any better from the "upscale" ones we use at work. The advantage of a taxi at EWR is at least there's generally one there without a wait.
