University visits and move-in days
Families visiting Princeton University — for campus tours, move-in, reunions or graduation — often fly into Newark and need a car with room for luggage. We provide SUVs and Sprinter vans for families and groups, and can plan a full day around campus events with our hourly service.
Princeton to New York City
The drive from Princeton to Midtown Manhattan usually takes 75–100 minutes via the New Jersey Turnpike and the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel. A private car is a comfortable alternative to the train when you have luggage, multiple stops or a late return.
Corporate and research travel
The Route 1 corridor is home to many corporate, pharmaceutical and research offices. We drive visiting executives and scientists between Newark Airport, hotels and offices, and can set up recurring bookings for teams through our corporate inquiry form.
Weddings, reunions and events
Princeton’s historic inns, golf clubs and estates host weddings throughout the year, and university reunions bring thousands of alumni back every spring. We coordinate sedans, SUVs, Sprinter vans and buses so that couples, families and groups move between hotels, ceremonies and receptions on one shared schedule. Book early for late May and June, when reunions, graduations and weddings overlap.
