Reply to comment by SK10504 in Arriving into Newark Airport late with 7 year old twins. Hotel advice… by Westham2830

>most, if not all car rental companies are outside of airport grounds, so you need to take their shuttle.

This is incorrect. Most car rental companies can be reached via the P3 station on the AirTrain. The only ones I know of offsite are Ace/Drivo.

The new parking garage they are building for the new Terminal A is going to have a car rental center in it as well that all the on-site companies will be moving to.

I second the Marriott. Shuttle runs for free to the hotel. Spend the night, grab your car in the morning.

Long Branch has 1 of 2 Meaderies in the state. It’s nice to check out. But otherwise the shore is dead this time of year.

Edit: “this time of year” referring to off season. Season usually meaning Memorial Day weekend forward to Labor Day.

Just be aware, the Marriott shuttle can be a little flakey. I drive Uber sometimes in the evenings, and on multiple occasions have gotten rides from the terminals to the Marriott and the riders tell me they had been waiting over 30 minutes for the shuttle.

That said, with a 2200 arrival, some of the off airport hotels (specifically the Wyndham Garden off the top of my head), will have already stopped their shuttle service for the night.

It’s a pretty short loop it makes around the airport. I’ve never had any issues. I’ve had more trouble with the airport shuttle that takes you around the terminals. Waited over an hour and a half to get from parking to AA, it’s literally A,B,C.

If it were a one off thing, I wouldn't think much of it, but over the last year I've had around 10 rides from terminals to the Marriott, and everyone said they called after waiting for a while.

I've also seen some people trying to cross Hotel Rd. to get to it after walking thru the terminal B lot. Wouldn't recommend trying that now, as it's a lot busier since the new terminal A dumps out onto it.

They said they're coming in May.
