I've tried 7 ride apps so far, and this is my favorite.
I've taken rides with Carmel at least 10(+) times now and shared cars with friends using Carmel.
This is my honest review, and I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it. Which is great. They're constantly rewarding customers in various ways, and the cars are always in top condition.
Use a sign up code when you start, and they'll give you 6$ off your first 6 rides--at least at the time I'm writing this.
Otherwise: The drivers are kind, polite, and timely. I've never had a late ride, scheduled or not. I'd definitely recommend for any trips to or from the airport. Where with Uber and Lyft I've had late drivers, drivers who fell asleep while driving, drivers who refused to wear masks, etc (not that I'm saying that's the rule--just my experience of their services), and I've had multiple issues with getting double or triple charged, once even having a driver threaten to take my suitcase and leave if I didn't tip the exact amount he asked, Carmel drivers have been incredible. Predictable prices, personable characters, and traffic-safe trips have been the Carmel standard.
When you schedule a ride, they'll call ahead when they get there (always early but not too early). Drivers use proper health protocols, and in the past I've had drivers provide water and hand sanitizer of their own volition.
Prices are highly competitive, and the app is reliable.
I've taken cars to Newark, La Guardia, and JFK. At the moment, Carmel cars are probably the safest and most reliable travel transport option barring contracted personal drivers or the like.
