The service in general...

Sylvie_C, Nov 2023

The service in general was ok but the driver was not so nice. Didn’t help us with our bags and the only thing he said was “ the tolls and tips are not included, you have to pay”. We were very disappointed.

Had multiple delays in traffic and the driver still got us to our destination in a timely manner. This company helped us out through all of our flight cancellations.

Reliable, Not Special!

Dale_K, Oct 2023

Driver was most nice. Procedures in NYC hardly make private transfer worthwhile unless you know you are arriving at bad time. Too much walking with no help as drivers aren’t allowed inside to meet the driver. Driver not on site. Car not special. Okay, sort of reliable but special.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Poor customer service

Steven_S, Oct 2023

Not very happy how I was contacted when I landed ( or the 45 minutes I had to wait for my ride ) The best part of my experience was the new vehicle without any smoke smell

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Tips not optional

Anna_C, Sep 2023

The car was okay. While our voucher says gratuities are optional at our discretion, the driver demanded a 10% tips.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Terrible experience

Tracey_S, Sep 2023

Driver late and accused us of waiting in the wrong place. He was incredibly rude and hardly spoke English. He drove like a maniac and was watching videos on his phone while driving! Aggressive about a tip and would only accept the largest tip of 35%. An awful experience. We feel a refund of his tip is appropriate as his service was non-existance.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Professional and courteous.

Linda_H, Sep 2023

Clear instruction for pick up location and car. Flight deboarding was delayed due to weather and car was patient and waited! Professional driver!

Too expensive

pamelaellenpage, Aug 2023

The driver was okay. I was aware that I was responsible for tolls however 200 canadian dollars I paid to be transferred from JFK to Newark then was stuck paying 57 USA dollars for tolls in which I did not even get a receipt for. I find it hard to believe people pay that much money in tolls daily to go from New York to Jersey. I feel I got scammed.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

No show service

Yurii_G, Jul 2023

The most memorable part of my experience was waiting (in vain) for the transfer at JFK and then running for a taxi to the Newark airport

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Prompt and friendly

Stacy_H, Jul 2023

The driver arrived very quickly after we called and was pleasant during our trip between airports. He even encouraged us to fly stand by if there was an earlier flight. We did ask and were able to catch another flight home cutting our stay in the airport from 10 hours to 1 hour. Very grateful.

The best way to transfer between airports!

Ammar_B, Jul 2023

The car and driver were first rate. We arrived at JFK and needed to go to a long term parking facility at EWR to get our car during the Friday afternoon rush hour. Having a great car booked ahead of time let us know exactly what we'd pay with no surprises during rush hour and the car's seats were much more comfortable than any cab could have been for the one hour and fifty minutes it took to get us to EWR. This is the way to go. Also, the phone operator was super friendly and helpful.

Driver? No English speaking and lied about tolls

Wayne_L, Jul 2023

The good stuff: * customer service people at Carmel were responsive and helpful when I spoke with them at the airport when we arrived at JFK; both phone calls informative and nice; * the ride was efficient and the driver showed up within minutes just like the phone agent said they would; That’s where the good stuff ends. The Bad Stuff: * when trying to book this online through Viator, it failed miserably. I tried numerous times to finalize the reservation while sitting in the airport and on the plane in Vienna, Austria. I tried to use our Viator credits ($56+) and the site failed to finish the reservation so I had to call (while sitting on the plane before takeoff). The agent couldn’t seem to apply our credits either and we got the reservation finalized literally a minute before the plane began its takeoff procedure on the runway. The agent somehow incorrectly booked the reservation for 6/28 instead of 6/27, the date of our arrival. Either that or the Carmel company got it wrong in their system. * the driver spoke no English; * the minivan smelled like a cigarette factory and I soon became nauseous from the smell and opened the rear window, sticking my nose outside in order to breathe; * when we arrived and unloaded, he reminded me I had to pay for tolls (which I remembered) but then he claimed the tolls from JFK to Newark were in excess of $31. That’s an outright lie but it had been a long day after a canceled flight in Europe and I wanted to get home, with still a 90 minute drive ahead of me. I gave the driver $40 cash and he rolled his eyes - even though we couldn’t have a conversation in English - ridiculous considering you’re working in the USA in a customer-facing position where communication with your client is KEY. RIDICULOUS EXPERIENCE especially considering we’d already paid $148 for the transfer from one airport to the other. Are you kidding me? (Looking online for the tolls for the route we traveled, they totaled a maximum of $12.) After a poor review directly to the company, I did receive a phone call from them and was told they would be looking into the situation and tolls and would get back to me again.

Needs a wash

Susan_P, Jun 2023

Cleanliness of the car was not ideal. Driver was good but car needed TLC Car needed cleaning but driver was ssfe

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Not recommended

Illi_M, May 2023

The car was smaller than we asked for. The driver was friendly but the car smelled from cigarettes. We asked for the driver to wait for us at passenger pick up as my husband could not walk very far but they were not willing to do so. Also, the car was late although we gave them heads up as soon as we landed as they asked for

Response from Host, May 2023

Great service!

Paula_R, May 2023

Thank you! Although we ended up on a later flight the driver found us and got us to to LaGuardia for our next flight. Great service!

Pushy Driver

Lisa_D, Apr 2023

Driver was NOT friendly. Took too long to arrive at our destination. Then demanded we pay him a 30% tip. After he charged us $32.00 in tolls. I paid his company$150 for 31 mile trip

Very convenient and very easy, waiting time was perfect. But extra $50 was little too much (toll and tips)
