Or perhaps that was the only flight they could get, into Newark, depending on where they are coming from.
why dont they take Metronorth up to you? Unless that would take as much time/money as renting a car.

Probably because Newark is the cheapest NYC area airport to fly into these days. I live 15 minutes from LGA and about 25 from JFK. It costs me about $450 to fly home for Christmas from those airports, while it costs about $350 to fly into EWR. Even if I took a cab each way (I usually take the shuttle or a train), it would STILL be cheaper to fly into EWR.
