Transportation from Newark or JFK to Princeton
- Car
- Take NJ Turnpike South and get off at exit 9. After toll booth stay right
and take Route 18 North about a half a mile. Then take Route 1 South for about
20 miles. The Palmer Inn (Charley Brown is the restaurant attached) is about a
half a mile south of Princeton Market Fair. If you run into the Quaker Bridge
Mall, you have gone too far.
- Shuttle: the Princeton Airporter
- This is a 20 passenger bus. Reservations required 609 587-6600 or 800
385-4000. The Princeton Airporter has a stop at the Princeton Hyatt and from
there you need to call the Palmer Inn at 452-2500. They will have a van to pick
you up in about 10 minutes. This service runs between 7:30 and 22:00. The
assistant at the Hyatt normally will call them for you.
- Frequency from the Newark Airport: Saturday , every two hours Every other
day of the week it is every hour, starting at 7:15 a.m. to 21:15 p.m. Cost is
$22.00 They take US currency, Visa, Master Card, and American Express Takes
about 1hour and 30 minutes
- Frequency from JFK: Starting 8:00 am ending at 21:00 pm (no 10:00 am
shuttle) Cost is 35.00 and takes about 2 hours
- Taxi
- The Taxi should take you directly to the Palmer Inn. From Newark, the cost
should be about $75 to $80 and they only take US currency. This takes about 45
minutes to an hour. From JFK, the cost should be between $125 and $150. They
take US currency.
- Rail
- There is a Princeton Junction stop on the route between New York and
Washington D.C. It is about 1 hour from New York and two to three hours from
Washington D.C. You can call the Palmer Inn and they will pick you up from
Princeton Junction. There are also taxis available with a cost of approximately
$8.00
Transportation from the Palmer Inn To RFB&D
The Palmer Inn Van holds about 7 people. I have booked this van to make two
runs at 8:00 and at 8:30. It is actually about a 20 minute round trip. If
necessary, the van could make three runs. You should meet in the lobby at 8:00
and the early birds will go in the first run.
