Towing in Newark, Essex County, NJ: the five wards, Port Newark, Penn Station and the airport's northern side
Newark is the biggest city in the county and the closest part of it to our Linden yard, about 15 minutes to the South Ward by Routes 1 & 9. It holds Port Newark, the northern side of Newark Liberty Airport, Newark Penn Station, the Prudential Center and University Hospital, crossed by I-78, I-280, Route 21 and the Turnpike at Exits 14 and 15E.
Port trucks, event nights and ward streets: towing in Newark, Essex County
Newark gets the shortest windows in Essex County because it sits right above Linden, and every call, from a stalled van at the port to a dead battery in Vailsburg, carries the same $149 flat booking fee, or $129 when you book online.
The Ironbound and Port Newark
Ferry Street restaurants, tight rowhouse blocks and the warehouse roads leading to the port terminals. Box trucks, chassis haulers and work vans that quit near a dock gate get a heavy-duty truck from the same desk.
Secured terminals have their own gate rules, so tell the dispatcher who controls the entrance.
Downtown, Penn Station and the Prudential Center
Garages around Newark Penn Station, Broad Street and the arena fill up on event nights and weekday mornings. A car that will not start on Level 4 needs the garage name, the level and the exit you will wait by.
Low garage ceilings sometimes mean a wheel-lift brings the car down to the street before it goes on a flatbed.
The South Ward, Routes 1 & 9 and the airport edge
Weequahic, Clinton Hill and the blocks near Newark Beth Israel, plus Routes 1 & 9 along the northern side of Newark Liberty Airport. This is the stretch nearest our yard.
I-78 crosses the ward; on the interstate itself we dispatch directly, and the Turnpike at Exit 14 goes to the Authority's garages first.
North, West and Central Wards
Branch Brook Park and Forest Hill up north, Vailsburg out west toward the Irvington and South Orange lines, University Heights and University Hospital in the Central Ward. Route 21 and I-280 frame the north side.
Give the ward, the cross street and whether the car rolls.

Call nowNewark: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
How fast can you reach Newark from Linden?
About 15 minutes to the South Ward and the port by Routes 1 & 9. The North Ward and Vailsburg take a little longer, and a truck already in the city often cuts that.
Can you tow a box truck from near Port Newark?
Yes. Medium and heavy-duty trucks come from the same dispatch. Secured terminal areas need gate clearance, so tell us who controls the entrance.
My car died in a garage near the Prudential Center. Can a tow truck get in?
Usually. Give the garage name, level and exit. If the ceiling is too low for a flatbed, a wheel-lift brings the car to street level first.
What about the Turnpike at Exit 14 or 15E?
Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
