10 Best Car Services In New York City

March 30, 2022

For sure, there is no guaranteed mode of transportation in New York City. Beginning with traffic congestion, there are trains breaking, taxis that are impossible to flag down and always the chance the distracted driver right behind you won't stop in time. Great transportation can seem to be the impossible dream. It's the same with car services. However, after doing some research, there are some that are considered to be more reliable than others, won't charge you a weeks salary and actually pick you up in a clean, air-conditioned car. Check out our list of the best we have found.

10. Carey Limousine

Carey is in sync with the customer's needs and will accommodate rescheduling and any other reasonable requests. Whether you're going to be half an hour late or need a car sometime in the next day or so, Carey will quickly make the adjustment over the phone with no extra fees or huffing and puffing. A first class ride for sure.

9. Carmel Car and Limousine Service

The logo is a bit of a head scratcher. It kind of looks like a kids rendition of what a car is supposed to look like but then what does that have to do with the service Carmel provides. Carmel absolutely captured the catchy phone number. The company uses seven 6s which makes it awfully easy to remember. Nice marketing move. Carmel, is your basic car service that will get you from where you are to where you want to be in a nice, clean vehicle.

8. Uber

UBER is the most technologically advanced car service here and has made huge inroads in the car service business. Connect with your ride through their app and your driver is on the way. Service is typically friendly and the cashless. The rate is set on a minimum fare to fairly reimburse drivers for short rides. You will get a cost estimate through the app when an Uber ride is requested.

7. Good Luck Car Service

No glitz and glamour with the Good Luck car service. The name might give you pause as in; "I hope they show up". They do have prompt pickups, reasonable prices, and a quiet ride to your destination. One reviewer stated; the service ain't top-notch, but they're open 24/7 (very convenient for those horribly early morning flights) and fairly quick.

6. OZO Car Service

Are you an environmental enthusiast? Are you roughing it on the subway because it's extremely easy and convenient or because it's more environmentally friendly than driving or taking a car around town? OZO offers a car service that will ease your environmentally concerned head. OZO calls it traveling light as they run on hybrid Toyotas, like the Prius, Camry, and classier Lexus vehicles. Their rates are competitive with other premium executive car services in New York.

5. Dial 7

Another catchy marketing angle that one-ups Carmel which uses sixes. Nice competitive move. Dial 7 works with affiliated drivers and claims a fleet of over 900 luxury vehicles. They have been around for over 30 years and cover the entire Tri-State area. Who could possibly forget a phone number like 212 777 7777?

4. Arecibo

The reviews are reasonable and they offer standard, luxury, minivan, and SUV vehicles. They claim to always be on time and while they aren't perfect; they are pretty good. The operation runs 24/7 and focuses on providing airport transportation. They have been in business for over 20 years so something must be going right.

3. Quick Ride Corp

Quick Ride Corp lives up to its name without overcharging. They don't have a website, don't do much advertising, but the reviews are pretty complimentary and they get the job done in a quick and courteous fashion. The word is that they are consistent and the cheapest option to get in and out of NYC airports.

2. AllState Car and Limo

AllState is in a great location to easily get to anybody in New York City in a reasonable pickup time. The drivers look and are professional, and the prices are usually slightly lower than the typical taxi. An app is available to speed up the booking and pickup process. They are on the high-end of car services that understand on-line marketing although that doesn't necessarily affect the ride. The word is they are reliable fairly priced and professional.

1. WiroLimo

Wiro enjoys a reputation as the best car service you'll find for your money in NYC. Wiro is rated by many as the most consistent, which is a huge plus in a city where being five minutes late usually gets you bumped to the back of the line. Drivers often arrive early and will call and text you when they are near. They seem to understand the concept of 'time is money'. With low prices and highly quality service, Wiro could be your ticket to ride.
