Long Beach Island Airport Car Service
Ground transportation
you can trust.
Long Beach Island has one way on and one way off, and in summer the Route 72 Causeway out of Ship Bottom can stand between you and your flight. CJT builds the Causeway window into your pickup and gets you from LBI to Newark (EWR), JFK, and every major airport on time, with local drivers and 24/7 service.
Airport service
Airport Car Service from Long Beach Island.
Long Beach Island has one road on and one road off: the Route 72 Causeway out of Ship Bottom. That single-bridge reality makes airport timing a specific local problem, especially in summer when the Causeway backs up. Central Jersey Transportation provides door-to-door car service from every LBI community, plus the mainland gateway at Manahawkin and Stafford Township, to Newark Liberty (EWR), JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), Philadelphia International (PHL), and Atlantic City (ACY). Atlantic City is closest at about 50 minutes south, while Newark is the main hub for most travelers at roughly 2 hours north. We have been driving these routes for over 13 years and know how much extra time to build in for a Saturday morning Causeway window in July versus a Tuesday in November.
We pick up across the island, from Barnegat Light, Loveladies, and Harvey Cedars in the north, through Surf City, Ship Bottom, and Brant Beach in the center, to Beach Haven and Holgate in the south. Every reservation includes flight tracking, 30 minutes of free wait time after you land, and free meet and greet at baggage claim. Pickups run 24/7, including 4 AM departures for early Newark flights and late-night returns. Fixed rates with no surge pricing.

They know which Causeway windows back up on summer Saturdays, where the Garden State Parkway bottlenecks north of Toms River, and how to time a Newark run so you reach the terminal with margin, not stress.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does car service from Long Beach Island to Newark Airport cost?
Pricing depends on your exact pickup location on the island, vehicle type, and time of day. We offer fixed rates with no surge pricing, so you will know the exact cost before you book. Use our free quote tool to get an instant price, or call 732-703-6595.
How early should I leave for a summer flight out of Newark?
For a summer weekend morning flight out of Newark, plan to leave the island about 4 hours before takeoff. That accounts for a 30 to 60 minute Causeway backup, the roughly 2 hour drive north, and time at the airport. Off-season or on weekdays, 3 hours is usually enough. We calculate the right pickup time when you book.
Do you offer round-trip car service?
Yes. Book both legs together and enjoy the convenience of a single reservation. Many of our regular customers prefer round-trip booking because they know exactly when we will be there for pickup and return.
What airports do you serve from Long Beach Island?
We provide car service to Newark Liberty International (EWR), JFK International, LaGuardia (LGA), Philadelphia International (PHL), and Atlantic City International (ACY). Atlantic City is the closest at about 50 minutes south; Newark is the main hub for the widest range of flights.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight in real time and adjust pickup automatically. No need to call us when you land late. We monitor your flight status and will be at the airport when you actually arrive, not when you were originally scheduled. Flight tracking is included free with every airport pickup.
Do you provide car seats?
No. We do not provide car seats or booster seats. You are welcome to bring your own. If you're booking a round trip we can arrange for your car seat to be available when we pick you up.
Can you handle early-morning departures from the island?
Yes. 24/7 service includes early-morning pickups. For a 6 AM Newark flight in the off-season, plan on roughly a 3:30 AM pickup; in summer, earlier to clear the Causeway window. Your driver confirms the exact time the night before. Late-night returns are equally available.
