Port to EWR Cost?

[DP]

What would be the fare from Cape Liberty to Newark airport? Do they have set fares? We have booked Independent Drivers to take us to the port but since we do not own a cel phone we cannot call them when we disembark. So it is either the cruise ship $28.50/pp or taxi. We don't want to take the shuttle.

You can get an airport shuttle for $16/pp from the port to EWR. It will probably be a small van, not a big bus like the cruise transfer. Why don't you want to take a shuttle?

[DP]

I don't like shuttles for the reason that you have to wait until they are full and not everyone is leaving from the same airline. Therefore, I would prefer a taxi. Any idea what they charge and if it is a set rate?

By all reports it costs about $50. I haven't done the trip myself so I can't say if it's a flat fare or metered.
