Airport service
Airport Car Service from Princeton.
Princeton sits in Mercer County along Route 1 and Route 206, roughly midway between New York and Philadelphia with quick access to the Turnpike. Central Jersey Transportation provides door-to-door car service from Princeton to Newark Liberty (EWR), JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), Philadelphia International (PHL), and Atlantic City (ACY). Newark is the closest major hub at 42 miles up the Turnpike, with most runs landing in the 55-minute range when the road is clear. We have been driving these routes for over 13 years and know how Route 1 backs up through the corridor and which morning windows clear fastest toward Newark.

Why CJT
Why Princeton Travelers Choose CJT
Princeton travelers choose CJT because we build pickup times around the realities of Route 1 and Route 206. Our drivers do not just punch the airport into GPS. They know which intersections back up during evening rush, which exits dodge weekend traffic, and how to time a Saturday morning Newark run so you reach the terminal with margin, not stress.

About Princeton
Princeton is a Mercer County town with deep roots in education and the Revolution, sitting on the old colonial route that has linked New York and Philadelphia since the 17th century. Our drivers know the area beyond the airport runs: the Princeton University campus and historic Nassau Hall, which briefly served as the nation's capital, the Princeton Battlefield State Park that marks Washington's pivotal 1777 victory, the Albert Einstein House on Mercer Street, and the shops and restaurants around Nassau Street and Palmer Square. That central position is also a practical advantage for travel, with Newark a straight Turnpike run and Philadelphia close to the south, and we know how Route 1 backs up through the corridor so your pickup time accounts for it.
