In short: Ivory Route Limousine provides car service and limo service in Yardley, PA, from its base just across the Delaware River in Mercer County, New Jersey. Philadelphia International is about 41 miles from Yardley, usually around 50–65 minutes without heavy traffic, Trenton-Mercer about 4 miles and Newark Liberty about 54 miles. Pickups are by reservation, from a written quote.
Serving Yardley from across the river
Yardley and Mercer County face each other across the Delaware, and the Scudder Falls Bridge on I-295 connects Lower Makefield directly to Ewing. Our chauffeurs come over from New Jersey for each reserved trip, which is why we ask you to book ahead rather than hail a car on short notice.
We pick up in Yardley Borough, the small riverside town around Main Street, and throughout Lower Makefield Township around it. Most Yardley rides are airport transfers, trips into New Jersey for work or events, and evenings in Philadelphia or New York.
Yardley airport transportation: which airport?
Philadelphia and Trenton-Mercer
Philadelphia International is the shorter major-airport drive, about 41 miles and usually around 50–65 minutes without heavy traffic, mostly on I-295 and I-95 on the Pennsylvania side. See our Philadelphia airport car service.
Trenton-Mercer Airport in Ewing is only about 4 miles away. Airline service there is limited, so check your airline, but when a flight fits, it is a 5–10 minute ride; see TTN car service.
Newark and New York
Newark Liberty is about 54 miles, usually around 65–85 minutes, and offers a wider choice of nonstops and international flights. JFK is about 79 miles, usually around 100–125 minutes, and LaGuardia about 77 miles.
For those longer runs we plan around rush hours on both sides of the river and leave generous margins.
The same applies to Manhattan. Midtown is about 67 miles from Yardley, usually around 80–105 minutes without heavy traffic, and MetLife Stadium about 63 miles, so a show or a game in the New York area works best with an early start and a set time for the ride home.
Yardley to Newark airport car service
A Yardley to Newark trip usually crosses the Scudder Falls Bridge into Ewing on I-295 and then heads north on New Jersey highways to the Turnpike or US-1. The bridge's all-electronic toll applies only to Pennsylvania-bound traffic, so you pay on the way home, not on the way out. Any tolls on your route are listed in your written quote.
On the way home, we track your flight rather than the clock, so an early landing or a long taxi does not leave you waiting. Ask for meet & greet at baggage claim, or meet your chauffeur at the curb as the airport's rules allow. See our Newark airport car service page for terminal details.

Harvest Day, Washington Crossing and river trips
Yardley's Harvest Day festival fills the borough each year, and its proceeds support local groups from the Friends of Lake Afton to the historical association. A short drive north, Washington Crossing Historic Park in Upper Makefield hosts the annual Christmas Day reenactment of Washington's crossing of the Delaware. Admission to the Christmas Day event has been free, and a separate, ticketed crossing is held earlier in December. Check the park's website for each year's schedule.
On busy event days, we drop you off where traffic control allows and set a meeting point for afterward.

Nothing is charged online, and the ride is booked only when you confirm.
