Summer travel season is here — and so are the scams.

A recent Travel + Leisure article issued an important warning: rising travel costs and limited availability are making people more likely to rush when booking flights, hotels, vacation rentals, and transportation. Unfortunately, scammers know this and are using fake websites, suspicious links, public Wi-Fi, QR codes, and messages that appear to come from trusted travel companies.

It is a good reminder for all of us: slow down before you click, verify who you are booking with, and be careful when a travel deal looks too good to be true.

A few smart travel reminders:

• Book directly with trusted companies
• Be cautious with links in texts, emails, or social media ads
• Avoid entering personal information while using public airport Wi-Fi
• Be careful with unfamiliar QR codes
• Use a wall charger instead of public USB charging ports when possible
• Confirm your airport transportation with a real company and a real person

At VP Executive Car & Limo Service, we believe peace of mind begins before the trip even starts. Whether you are heading to EWR, JFK, LGA, or another destination, booking with a trusted local company means you know who is coordinating your ride, who your professional chauffeur is, and how to reach someone if your plans change.

Summer travel can be busy, but it does not have to be stressful. Plan ahead, verify before you book, and travel safely.

Memorial Day Weekend Travel Reminder

As Memorial Day weekend approaches, we want to thank all who have served and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

This is also one of the busier travel weekends of the year, especially for airport pickups, family gatherings, shore trips, and travel into New York City. If you’re heading to Newark, JFK, LaGuardia, Teterboro, or a weekend event, planning ahead can make the trip much smoother.

At Vander Plaat Executive Limo, our professional chauffeurs focus on safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation — so you can enjoy the weekend without the stress of traffic, parking, or airport delays.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

Airport security may be changing.

The TSA has introduced a new program called TSA Gold+, but it is not a paid traveler program like TSA PreCheck or CLEAR.

TSA Gold+ is a new airport security modernization program that could eventually affect how screening is managed at select airports, including staffing, technology, and checkpoint flow.

For travelers, the biggest takeaway is simple: you do not need to sign up for anything right now. But it is worth understanding, because airport security procedures may continue to evolve.

We put together a quick explanation of what TSA Gold+ is and what travelers should know before their next airport trip.

Air travel just got a little more complicated…

With fewer budget flights available and prices rising, planning a trip in 2026 isn’t as straightforward as it used to be.

If you’re flying out of Newark, JFK, or LaGuardia, there are a few things worth thinking about before you book—and before you head to the airport.

If you’re heading to Newark Airport from Bergen County, the biggest question is usually:

“What time should I leave?”

And the honest answer… it depends.

Traffic on Route 17, I-287, and the Turnpike can change quickly. A trip that normally takes 35–45 minutes can easily turn into an hour or more depending on the time of day — especially on Friday afternoons or during rush hour.

We’ve also seen situations where a ride is scheduled early in the morning… and then canceled at the last minute. When you’re catching a flight, that’s not something you want to deal with.

A few simple things that help:

• Plan backward from your flight time
• Always add a buffer — don’t cut it close
• Be cautious relying on rideshare for early morning trips

We put together a simple guide for Bergen County travelers to make timing a little easier:

When someone you care about has a medical appointment in New York City, the day already comes with enough on your mind.

One thing that shouldn’t add to it is figuring out how to get there.

Over the years, we’ve helped many Bergen County families with transportation to places like Memorial Sloan Kettering, Hospital for Special Surgery, and NYU Langone — and what matters most isn’t just getting there, it’s how the trip feels.

Calm. On time. No stress about parking, traffic, or what happens after the appointment.

Sometimes it’s a simple drop-off. Other times it’s waiting and being there when the appointment is done.

Every situation is a little different — but having it planned ahead can make the day a lot easier.

We put together a simple guide for families who may be navigating this:

If you’ve ever had to make this trip, you understand how much the small details matter.

Wishing the best to anyone going through this right now.

We were at Yankee Stadium this week for the Savannah Bananas game — and it really reminded me of something…

First off, a thank you to Tim O’Reilly from A Better Car Service for the invitation — he took great care of everything and it was a great night.

The game was a lot of fun. The crowd was into it. But what stood out just as much was the transportation.

We were dropped off right near Gate 4 — no circling, no confusion. After the game, we walked less than half a block, got into the car, and were on the road within minutes.

Meanwhile, thousands of people were trying to figure out how to get home — waiting on rides, walking through traffic, or heading back to parking garages.

It was simple, smooth, and honestly took the stress out of the entire night.

If you’re heading to Yankee Stadium from Bergen County, the ride can make a big difference in how your night goes.

Your Safety Deserves More Than a Social Media Post

Before booking transportation through social media, it’s important to ask a few simple questions:

• Is the operator properly licensed in New Jersey?
• Is the vehicle commercially insured for passenger transportation?
• Are chauffeurs background checked and professionally qualified?

Convenience matters.
But so does safety, accountability, and oversight.

Licensed, regulated transportation exists to protect passengers — especially when traveling to the airport, medical appointments, or important events.

If you ever have questions about how professional car service operates in North Jersey, we’re always happy to explain.

Professional. Safe. Accountable.

⚠️ A quick reminder about airport rides and safety…We’ve been seeing more local individuals offering informal airport rides online. While it may seem convenient or cheaper, there are risks most travelers don’t think about:

• Personal insurance often doesn’t cover commercial rides — which can leave passengers unprotected in an accident
• No background checks or safety standards for drivers
• Vehicles may not be professionally maintained
• Little accountability if something goes wrong

Airport travel is stressful enough without added uncertainty.

At Vander Plaat Executive Limo, your chauffeur plays a vital role in every ride experience. Each member of our team is carefully selected, professionally trained, and dedicated to your safety, comfort, and satisfaction.

Every Vander Plaat chauffeur:

• Completes NJ State Police fingerprint background checks
• Holds a valid Limousine/Car Chauffeur Qualification Certificate
• Undergoes pre-employment and random drug and alcohol testing
• Passes initial and annual physical exams
• Receives hands-on behind-the-wheel training
• Earns National Online Safety & Chauffeur Certification
• Participates in weekly safety and service training
• Maintains professional appearance standards and punctuality

You can trust that the person behind the wheel is a trained professional who takes pride in delivering a safe, smooth, and stress-free experience — every time.

When it comes to airport travel, safety and reliability should always come first.
