Jump starts and towing at the Newark Airport economy lots, employee lots and cell phone lot
The long-term fields where cars sit for one or two weeks, the employee lots where staff park between shifts, and the cell phone lot where drivers wait for a text from arrivals. Open ground, long rows and a lot of tired batteries.
Why cars die in the Newark Airport long-term and economy lots
Long-term lots drain batteries: modern cars pull a small current while parked, and a week or two in winter cold or summer heat is often enough to leave one flat, so most calls here end with a jump and a drive to the exit booth, at the same $149 flat booking fee, $129 when you book online if a tow turns out to be needed.
Economy parking and the shuttle stops
The economy lots are served by shuttle buses and tie into AirTrain, and each has numbered shuttle shelters. Read the shelter number nearest your car to the dispatcher; it is the fastest way for the driver to find the row.
These lots are flat and open, so a flatbed can pull right up if the car has to go.
The cell phone lot
Drivers waiting to pick someone up sit here with the engine off, the lights on and a phone charging. An older battery gives up, and the passenger is already at the curb.
A jump is one flat price. If you are alone and cannot leave the car, the driver comes to you; your traveler can wait inside the terminal.
Employee lots on the airport's edge
Airline crews, TSA staff, concession workers and cargo handlers park in employee lots and ride a shuttle in. After a long shift, a no-start in the dark is the last thing anyone needs.
Tell the dispatcher the lot, whether there is a badge gate, and where the truck should wait. Staff can set up a personal or company account for repeat calls.
Arriving by train and picking up a car
Some travelers come in on the Northeast Corridor to the Newark Liberty Airport rail station, ride AirTrain to the parking stop, and find the car dead. Call from the AirTrain platform and the truck can be waiting at the row by the time you walk over.

Call nowEconomy & cell phone lot: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
How do I tell you where my car is in the economy lot?
Read the nearest shuttle shelter number and the row sign. If you cannot see one, describe the nearest light pole marker or landmark and the dispatcher will narrow it down.
My battery died in the cell phone lot. How fast can you get there?
The lot sits near Routes 1 & 9, and our yard is about twelve minutes away in Linden. The dispatcher gives you a window from the nearest truck.
Do you come to the airport employee parking lots?
Yes. Tell the dispatcher which lot and whether there is a gate or badge reader, so the driver knows where to wait for you.
Should I just call for a jump or a tow?
Start with a jump for a car that sat a week or more. It is one flat price, and if it does not hold, the tow is quoted without a second callout.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
