The short answer
At EWR, check three things before leaving: terminal, live TSA wait, and AirTrain/roadway advisories. Terminal C ride-app pickup is in the garage—not at the arrival curb.

Ground transportation
Don’t stand at the wrong curb
Terminal A pickup is across from Arrivals; Terminal B uses the Arrivals frontage; Terminal C pickup is on Floor 3 of the Terminal C Garage.
Take AirTrain to the Terminal A station, then use the covered corridor to the consolidated Rental Car Center.
AirTrain connects terminals, parking, rental cars, and rail transit outside security. Most terminal changes require another TSA screening.
