Ramsey Car Service
Ramsey sits in northwest Bergen County along Route 17, with two NJ Transit stations, Ramsey Main Street downtown and Ramsey Route 17 by the highway. What Ramsey clients book most are airport rides (mostly to Newark), pickups from late trains, weddings and school events. Our Ramsey car service is set up around those four, with drive times and procedures that come from our own dispatch.
Airport Rides From Ramsey, and Why We Often Skip Route 17
Route 17 south is slow on weekday mornings from about 6:30, and on Saturday afternoons near the Paramus malls, so for Newark our chauffeurs usually take the Garden State Parkway instead. Sundays are the exception: Route 17 is quiet because the Paramus stores are closed. Route choices like that shape every ride to Newark Liberty, LaGuardia or JFK, and for private flights, on the shorter run to Teterboro’s FBOs.
Coming home, dispatch follows your airline flight, so the pickup moves with a delay or an early landing. The chauffeur waits up to 60 minutes after a domestic arrival and up to 90 minutes after an international one at no extra charge.
That was the case for a client whose flight landed four hours late, at 2 a.m.:
“Our flight arrived 4 hours late at 2AM and he was right there to pick us up.” (Ken W., Google review)
Ramsey to Newark, LaGuardia, JFK and Teterboro: Travel Times
These are the ranges our dispatch uses from Ramsey, with the pickup time we recommend before a flight:
| Ramsey to | Normal traffic | Rush hour | Recommended pickup |
| Newark (EWR) | 40 to 50 min | 1 h to 1 h 20 min | 3 h before a domestic flight, 4 h before an international one |
| LaGuardia (LGA) | 50 to 60 min | 1 h 15 min to 1 h 35 min | 3 h before a domestic flight, 4 h before an international one |
| JFK | 1 h 10 min to 1 h 25 min | 1 h 40 min to 2 h | 3.5 h before a domestic flight, 4.5 h before an international one |
| Teterboro (TEB) | 30 to 35 min | 40 to 50 min | About 1 h before a private departure |
Evening Pickups at Ramsey Main Street and Ramsey Route 17 Stations
We meet clients at both stations, mostly for evening arrivals from New York. Each works a little differently:
- Ramsey Main Street (downtown): the chauffeur waits in the station lot next to the platform.
- Ramsey Route 17: the car waits at the drop-off area by the station building, next to the parking deck.
At either one, the chauffeur texts you the car’s description and exact spot. Trains are not tracked automatically, so if yours is running late or you catch a later one, a quick call or text to dispatch moves the pickup.
Wedding Days at Ramsey Golf and Country Club and Nearby Venues
We drive weddings at Ramsey Golf and Country Club. During the reception the car parks in the club’s lot, and the chauffeur is ready at the time you set, or sooner when you text. Our chauffeurs also go regularly to the Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes, The Brick House in Wyckoff and Seasons in Washington Township. For couples who want a Ramsey limo for the day and rides for the wedding party and guests, our page on wedding transportation in New Jersey explains how we plan it from the first pickup to the last.
School Events, College Visits and Competitions for Ramsey Students
Parents book us for single trips rather than daily school runs: school events, college visits, academic competitions and airport rides for students. A day trip to see Princeton University is a typical example, and group trips for teams and classes are covered on our page about school and college transportation.
Every chauffeur goes through a background check and a previous-employer check before being hired, and all of our vehicles are GPS-tracked and have cameras. Child seats are available for $15 each when you ask at booking, and the parent installs the seat.
Business Days, Evenings Out and Group Vehicles
Beyond airports and family events, our Ramsey limo service covers meetings and business travel, shuttles for events with several pickup points and evenings out with dinner or a show. The vehicle depends on the group: an SUV for a solo traveler or a family with luggage, a Mercedes Sprinter for a small group that wants to stay together, and a 37-passenger mini bus for wedding guests, school events or multi-stop programs.

Ramsey Travelers Also Want to Know
Is there a way to avoid the late-night surcharge on an early Newark flight?
Pickups between midnight and 4:59 a.m. carry a $25 surcharge, plus gratuity. When the flight time allows, booking a 5:00 a.m. pickup instead avoids it.
How long will the chauffeur wait at a Ramsey home or at either station?
For pickups that are not at an airport, including the Main Street and Route 17 stations, the first 15 minutes of waiting are free. After that, waiting is billed by the minute. If you take a later train, a call or text to dispatch moves the pickup to match it.
Our private jet will land at Teterboro later than planned. Who lets the Ramsey chauffeur know?
You, your assistant or the crew. Private flights are not tracked automatically, so call or text dispatch with the new arrival time and we move the chauffeur’s time. The same goes for a flight that is arriving early.
