Easy way to get to the airport and cheaper than a taxi. The booking process was easy, the app synced up well so I could clearly see my booking, and the driver called to say he was ready 5 minutes before time. The driver was polite and helpful. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for making a review.
This was my first time trying Carmel and I will definitely use them again.

Easy to use for the first time. Clean. Only thing that makes it a 4 instead of a 5 was that the driver sighed or grumbled every time there was traffic or a slowdown. This is my review. Carmel compensated me with ride credit for writing it.
Very good service. Timely, clean, prompt and fair price. I also had a nice chat with the driver. I would certainly use them again. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
It is a real luxury to get picked up directly from a downtown Manhattan hotel and whisked to Newark airport during rush hour. The driver was early (I usually am as well, so it worked out well.) He was very courteous and an excellent driver. I highly recommend Carmel. Disclaimer: I will get a $10 credit next time I use Carmel, but that makes no difference in the excellent service I received.
Had good experiences before, but just had a bad experience that I've tried to tell the company about, but they don't care to call back after numerous emails and phone calls. Driver drove like a madman (looked at his phone, didn't signal when erratically searching, hard breaking and accelerating, etc.) and the car smelled of cigarettes.
Super easy to book, super easy to find at the airport. Professional drivers, perfectly maintained cars! Carmel is even a few bucks cheaper than Uber out of LGA. Will book whenever I fly to NYC. I got a $10 credit for this review but it was my real experience!
I have been using them for years now for both myself and my family. They are a great value and I have always had a great experience using them. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
An excellent reliable service with clean cars Annan excellent car service with competitive pricing and reliable drivers in clean cars this is my true review but I am receiving a $10 car credit from Carmel
We continue to have positive experiences with Carmel. We use the service once a week for a weekly appointment, and we always get there safe and on time. The drivers are always courteous and respectful. "This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
In the last week I have used Carmel for rides from JFK to Manhattan round trip. The drivers were courteous, came on time, and listened when I asked them to take a specific route. I can find no fault with either trip. We did use another service years ago but there were so many problems that we switched to Carmel and have been their customer ever since. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
I wouldn t be accepting the $10 cash gift if I didn t genuinely feel that the service was excellent. From ordering, prompt pickup to the friendly and helpful driver, Carmel is a great alternative to services like Uber and Lyft, and more comfortable and more reasonably priced than a taxi.
the carmel experience was so much BETTER than all previous rideshare service nightmares i have had. the one mix up was the terminal. however that was negated by the great calls to - and from! - customer service for checking in after we landed and follow up to confirm our location for pickup at newark airport. yes, carmel is more expensive than the blue nightmare but remember the old adage: you get what you pay for!!! so pay for carmel, get a great, timely, smooth ride. you'll be glad you did.

I recently took Carmel Car to the airport. The service was excellent, driver was professional and courteous. I felt safe with his driving. He was on time, maybe a little early. A great experience.
Tips are discretion of customer and states it on the agreement I received from Carmel. After the driver picked our party up and was in route to the airport, he said it was 21$ tip that had to be paid. Well, he had us where he wanted us because we could not make arrangements fast enough to get to the airport. I will Never use them again. I decide the amount of tip that I give and usually is 20% for good service not 30%.
This was the best experience that I have had with a car service from LGA to Midtown Manhattan. The last trip I made, the company lost my reservation and I waited longer for a new vehicle than what the trip actually took. The service from reservation to drop off was far superior to other services I have used in the past. Polite, Professional Driver and an excellent vehicle made for a great trip. These comments are true to my experience even though I will benefit from $10 Car Cash being added to my account. Keep up the great work!!
I have used Carmel Car service for a number of years. I use them regularly and have found them to be safe and reliable. The app has evolved to where it is easy to use and book rides.
I found this car service to be a great experience. They have an awesome pick up and drop off business ethic. I will continue to use Carmel everytime I visit New York.
Took Carmel to JFK airport this morning. My car wad on time, the driver courteous and efficient, and the ride went very smoothly. I'm fact after using them for years now I would say this trip is emblematic of my experiences with Carmel.
We need a mini van quickly on a Sunday afternoon to move a lot of my step daughters items to her new apartment. This included an extra quick stop to pick up an item on the way. The van arrived promptly. Dispatch quickly added the additional stop, and my family arrived in Brooklyn on time with no problems.

Driver was prompt and courteous, insisted on helping with my small bag. Ride was smooth and fast. Nice to have a professional that knows the routes and airports well
Used Carmel yesterday for a transfer from Newark to Manhattan. Driver was on time, helped load the luggage, drove safely , knew how to avoid traffic jams and roads closures. I ve used Carmel before on trips to Manhattan and will continue to use them for future trips.
Carmel is paying me ten dollars to share my experience but I would have gladly written this for zero dollars. They have never failed me. I have been using them for countless years and never had a bad driver and they are always early. Plus the cars are clean and nice. Need I say more!
My wife and I were ready to be picked up 30 minutes earlier than I had reserved for. I called Carmel and the driver(Rajiv) was at our location in 2 minutes! He was the nicest man and a good driver. I am being compensated for writing this review. However, I am writing it because it is truthful.
I was very pleased wth Carmel's service! The car was in good shape, the driver was early and very professional and friendly. I have used shuttle services because of price considerations but I have decided that the extra cost is worth it knowing that my ride will be there at a designated time and not having to drive all over Manhattan just to eventually get to my destination.
Truth, I was left stranded by the shuttle service that never came. I could not even get past the robovoice on the phone and the "driver" did not respond to my texts. In a panic I remembered that my friend recommended Carmel. I called and quickly got through to a human - yeah! She said a car would pick me up in 15 min. In exactly 15 mins the car was there! I got to the airport on time. No problem. Coming back I could not use my app on my cellphone so I called and again got through to a human immediately - yeah!. A car would pick me in up in 7mins! and yes, within that time frame the car was there! The driver took my bag up the stairs to my building. All went really well. I recommend this service. Please note, this is a true story, but also "This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it" - another perk - but would not write something that is not true.
You have to be a meshugenah to use them. Ordered a car for 5 am pick up for airport 5 people. Car never showed up and Carmel never even apologized just feeding us soon, soon if we did not get a cab (Which was 10$ cheaper) we would be late for a plane. But they refunded my money same day. Well I see other people like them but for me 1st time use was a very bad experience.
I arrived at JFK and called Carmel as I waited for suitcase. A car was waiting for me outside in 5 minutes at the designated spot. Rate was good. Car was clean and easily identifiable. Driver was pleasant. Solid good experience after traveling 24 hours straight.
Perfect experience, have used twice for early am pickups from upper east side Manhattan to LGA, cars arrived 5 mins early, called to inform arrival, it s been super easy to use. This is my review but I am awarded $10 car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
I have been using Carmel for years and would not go with anyone else in the NY/NJ area. Professional and courteous drivers, clean vehicles, reliable and ALWAYS prompt. Thank you, Carmel for being a constant in my travels.

We are from Australia and we flew into JFK late at night from London after visiting our daughter in the UK.
Carmel was recommended by an agent of Amex who is a relative of our son-in-law. We received a great recommendation from this person and we checked Carmel out.
I saw some negative reviews before booking but given the recommendation we were prepared to give Carmel a go - and are very glad that we did!
All I can say is that we could not have had a better experience.
We were picked up on time and the very obliging driver was courteous, professional and friendly. He even waited and assisted us to find the key safe to get into our accommodation at about 1.00am.
I don't know anything about the experience of others but we could not be happier and like our Amex contact, we will be recommending Carmel to others visiting New York - including my brother in a few weeks time!
Since using Carmel I was asked to review their service and later became aware of an offer to pay $10 or discount a further service for sharing a positive experience.
I may or may not qualify for such a benefit but whether or not I receive such a benefit, is immaterial because I would have been happy to acknowledge great service anyway.
I have found that using Carmel assures me responsible and affordable transportation. I take it to and from places in Long Island and Westchester and NewJersey. A Pleasure to deal with. They come when they should and there is someone on the telphone to talk with in the event of a problem. PS They promised me a credit of $10 to write this, but it did not change what I wrote.
Used to and from JFK...both trips very well coordinated; especially the return pickup. Driver right where I was told; came within minutes of my call; both drivers are good drivers. I will use Carmel again (I switched from another car service that was always difficult to call.)
I used Carmel Car yesterday to go into Manhattan to Doctor's office and return from Doctor's office to my home in Forest Hills, Queens. Both trips were beyond excellent. Not only were they prompt as promised, but each car was cleaned to perfection. Each driver were not only polite but helpful in helping me in and out of said car. I cannot compliment this company and their drivers enough.
Great service for the past 10 years as a client. Punctuality , courteous, cleanness, and fast security service are what makes me loyal to them Keep up the good work!!
My experience with Carmel was not positive at all.
The driver picked us up thirty minutes late in a nasty Toyota Camry,
First of all the car smelled really bad. During the ride to the hotel which was thirty minutes away from Laguardia Airport the driver kept rolling the windows down and he told the dispatcher he was outside of the Airport which was not the case.
I also asked for some bottle water to be in the car and on the day of arrival the dispatcher told me she would not be able to full fill my request. Also I pay the Tip and Tolls in advance which was not used during my trip.
If you need transportation from the airport please don t use this company.
Carmel provided excellent service. They picked us up at baggage claim at EWR airport and dropped us at our hotel in mid-town Manhattan in very good time. They have a very good system making it easy for the traveler. We are going to use them again. Disclaimer: This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
Great service! It is always on time and cars are always in a good condition and clean. The drivers are very polite and help us with our luggage. It is easy to book and when we are ready at the airport we call them and they send a driver very soon. For pick up in our home they are always there before the time and ready to take us to the airport. Their app is also very good, easy and fast. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
App was easy to use. Driver was right on time (actually 10 minutes early!) Car was spotless, driver polite, driving excellent. Perfect trip in these anxiety producing times. I would have written this review anyway but I need to say T"is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
Another ride another fine driver. Good person, good conversation, as well This is my review and I am rewarded $10 Cash Cash from Carmel for sharing it.
I used Carmel to and from MetLife on a very busy Wrestlemania day. The service on both rides was wonderful. Reasonable prices, and worth enough to make your day easy. Even though Carmel may reward for this review, I plan to use it for all travel services in the future. Thank you, Carmel!
Perfect ride! My driver came 5 minutes early. The car was very clean. The driver was very courteous and helpful. The ride to the airport was smooth. Couldn t have asked for anything better. Disclaimer: this is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it on Google.
My driver arrived in CT from NY 1/2 hour early and waited for me until the designated pick-up time. He was an incredible human being. We had an intense conversation the entire way home and totally enjoyed sharing our like minds. It was a great experience and I will definitely use Carmel Car Service again as my go to car service. Excellent company from start to end. Also please note, "This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
The worst car rental service ever. Booked a car in the city in advance, car then doesn't show up, phone customer service who suggest no cars in the area are available! What's the point of booking! Use any alternative possible.
Perfect service from Carmel. I was picked up on time and delivered to LaGuardia Airport with courtesy and no hassle. I am receiving a cash reward toward my next trip for this rating/review.
This is my review and I am awarded $10 car cash from Carmel for sharing it. I scheduled a ride to LGA and the driver arrived right on time and got me to the airport quickly.
I have used Carmel for over 15 years. I live in Manhattan and travel frequently to LGA and JFK airports. Carmel never disappoints. "This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
Took Carmel for the first time 12/7, and did not disappoint. Clean car, lovely driver, and great price. Goodbye Uber! I did get $10 off for leaving review, but would have done it for nothing
I am writing this review to thank Carmel for a perfect ride. I am handicapped and the driver saw to it that my ride was comfortable and pleasant. I will be compensated for this review.
I was a bit worried after reading some reviews but it was perfect. We flew into Newark from Scotland, the directions were great and the driver was aiting, courteous and excellent. His car was clean and modern. We booked the all inclusive package so no hustle and just a smile and thank you. Well done Carmel
Getting around New York is never a pleasure, but Carmel makes it as easy as possible to get wherever I'm going. Yes, I am getting a $10 credit for writing this review. Yes, I would have written it anyway.
Our driver Lei Xiu picked us up and was conveniently early. The car was very clean and comfortable and he went out of his way to accommodate us. It was a cold day so he allowed me to wait for several minutes in his car while I waited for my appointment. I would highly recommend their services whether short or long distance. Thank you very much Lei!
On time, courteous service at a reasonable price. I will definitely use Carmel again ! This is my review but I received a $10 cash reward for sharing it.
Carmel is a great ride sharing service..Our driver was on time and waiting on us..He got us from LGA to our Hotel in Manhattan within the hour..Great service..Will use again..Note that I was offered $10 credit for my review..
I have been using Carmel services for over a decade. Would highly recommend them due to reliability and predictability of fares and most if all they track your arrival flight and take the headache out of getting a car back home. After a long travel. Their full size SUVs are very clean and affordable. The drivers wait for you as long as it takes
Always reliable and today the driver automatically took the no-toll route to JFK saving us quite a bit of change. He made great time and was very considerate about helping us with our luggage as we arrived at the airport.

I am being awarded $10 for posting this review. We used Carmel to get from the UWS to Newark Airport. Driver was on time, pleasant, helpful & car was clean. No complaints will use them again.
The driver was on time and waiting for us at baggage claim. He helped with luggage, made small talk and escorted us to the SUV. The car could have been better it was old. Our fare with tip, parking and tolls included was 160 dollars from Newark airport to Times Square. I expected to ride in a nicer, newer SUV/black car for this fare but it wasn t bad. The drivers communication skills were excellent and he brought us safely to our hotel.

I had a great trip polite and on time driver who got me to the airport safely and in record time. I was very happy to give my ride this AM a perfect rating just because of the great job Carmel did, and I did, but then I got offered $10 for writing this review. Totally confirms my experience this AM that Carmel cares about my time.
I have used Carmel multiple times in the past few weeks for both short and long trips (e.g., over three hours). The drivers are timely, helpful and friendly and the cars are clean. Each of my rides was safe and the driver followed the speed limit. Thank you for helping me get from point A to point B, sometimes with many pieces of luggage, a pet and a bicycle!
This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
This was my first time using Carmel car and I have no complaints on anything! The car arrived on time, was clean, and there was enough room for me and my two friends. Would defiantly use again! Disclaimer: I am awarded $10 Car Cash from Carmel for my review
3 Trips to Manhattan in 7 years, and the 3rd time I have used Carmel. Always consistent. Drivers are on time or early. This time was better than the previous 2 now that the app makes it even easier to book, pay and call your ride. Keep up the good work Carmel. I would definitely recommend them. ---This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it
Fast, easy & excellent service - Will definitely be using them for my airport transportation for now on. Much more reliable than Uber & Lift. plus they are less expensive with nicer cars. 5
Car was on time and very clean. The driver was very courteous and the price reasonable .Highly recommend it. 'This is my review and I am awarded $10 Car Cash from Carmel for sharing it'
I used Carmel to drive me from my hotel to the ferry for the NYC Marathon. "This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel car service for sharing it" Amazing on time driver...perfect ride..One less thing to stress about on a very stressful day
