Excellent car service with careful, responsible drivers.
Would highly recommend this service. My daughter was travelling alone to NYC and the driver arrived right on time and got her to her destination safely. It brought piece of mind to her parents in another country. I did receive a $10 voucher for submitting this review.
Great experience. Driver right on time! Car was clean and roomy.
Carmel is my go to car service for reliable, courteous, skillful ride to airports in NYC metro area. I will be receiving $10 car cash for taking time to post this.
This is my review but Carmel is giving me $10 Car Cash for posting it. The app works well, determining your location and giving estimates for how long it will be until your driver gets there, just like Uber or Lyft. Unlike the ride-sharing apps, though, you can schedule your pick-up in advance. And the best thing, in my opinion, is the choice of payment options: You can pay for the whole ride using the app, you can pay just the base fare and then pay the driver directly for tolls and tip, or you can even reserve a ride through the app but pay the driver in cash. My only complaint is that the pickup situation at JFK is incredibly chaotic, but the same is true for Uber and Lyft also.
On time and efficient. Our booked transfer was already waiting for us after baggage collection. Perfect way to start our Holiday in NYC after a 14 hours flight! "This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
I've been using Carmel for years and have always experienced prompt and professional service. Recently my cousin was trying to arrange a pickup with another car service without success. She remembered I used Carmel and gave her the number. When she reached her destination, she texted me that she was very happy and satisfied with the service and professionalism. Keep up the good work!
I am a frequent Carmel User. I had tried UBER, Lyft and even Dial 7 - hands down, Carmel provides the best value - as well as excellent service. I am receiving $10 car cash for this review but my review would be essentially the same absent that credit.
Excellent service..always on time and the drivers have always been professional and polite.

The driver that picked us up was 15 minutes late. Luckily dispatch called and warned us. Driver was blunt and not very friendly, but I believe that was a language barrier issue. The driver told us with traffic that it would take us 90 minutes, but Google maps said only 50.

We arrived at Newark EWR airport earlier than expected. Our driver was at the appointed pick up area in less than 3 minutes, extremely courteous, offering current status of NY traffic, because the UN was in session in case we did not know it, and his car was immaculate, he drove well, communication with Carmel dispatcher was easy and instructions clear. All over a perfect pick up.
Great company, always on time and reliable. Would hae been 5 stars except, our driver on our return trip from the airport seemed a little dstracted in his driving. Our driver to the airport was exceptional.
This review is accurate but I was compensated for this review.
We ve used Carmel three times this week, and the service has been fantastic each time. Our first ride was from JFK to Midtown. Our driver was early, and he hauled our two gigantic suitcases into the trunk with a smile. He was terrific. Our next trip was from Midtown to Mahopac, NY, and then back. Both drivers were early, courteous, and safe drivers. While I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for posting a review, we ll be booking yet another ride next week, back to the airport. Overall, we always felt safe, found the rates very reasonable, the cars were clean and the drivers perfect in every way.
I've come back to using Carmel's car service in NYC after years of using those other ride-sharing apps. After noticing the pricing from the other apps skyrocket as a result of congestion pricing or increased competition, it's a relief to still have the reliable service of Carmel at a competitive price. Also love the new app and the ability to request cars quickly and track where your driver is. I typically don't post reviews but felt compelled to share, especially given my recent airport pick up experience from the driver, Eloy, who was one of the best Carmel drivers I've ever had. Disclaimer: also getting $10 car cash from Carmel as a result of this review, but happy to do so regardless!
Driver was early, contacted me to confirm pick up location. Reliable, professional, and courteous ! Was very pleased. Although they do compensate for reviews I truly was very pleased. This is my review and I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it
I had a great experience. I booked the ride from Manhattan to JFK pretty short notice. The driver, Mr. Dhillon, was on time and helped me with my luggage. I felt very safe and Mr. Dhillon was extremly nice and knew his way around. I highly recommend Carmel. Thank you very much.
Perfect service even when plane was 30 minutes early! The hanks so much!

I was spoken to courteously and efficiently when I made the reservation for a pick-up to the airport.
The car came early and the driver waited patiently for me.
The car was comfortable and clean.
The driver drove safely and also was courteous. He helped me with my bags and thanked me for the tip.
What more could anyone ask for in a car service?
I think Carmel is a reliable service.
Easy experience. Waiting for me as I got off the plane. Took me straight to my hotel. Very quick!!!

I will receive $10 credit for this review, nevertheless I am very pleased by the service in 2 trips with Carmel Car Service, March 2019, in NYC. Efficient to order on line, clean car, excellent driver. Made good time to La Guardia despite rush hour traffic. Highly recommend.
The over all experience was good...very similar to Lift/Uber but cost more. We had a difficulty booking. 1st with the phone number application. The program kept kicking us out not accepting the phone number. 2nd the address that we needed to submit would not be accepted. Eventually we chose one of the options, hoping that it would be the right one and...it was not. The driver would not listen to my explanation of the situation and started driving us to the wrong location. I was leery of this the whole time so I was watching his navigation and when the passed the exit ramp for our location, I made him aware of the problem. He immediately realized the problem and got us back on track. The program was the problem...not the driver.
It was my first time on NYC. So I didn't know how to get from JFK to Times Square.
UBER/LYFT was around $80 when we got there, and Carmel was $65 with toll and tip included.
Driver was helpful and very nice.
Super recommended.

I use Carmel whenever I travel into NYC. On my trip from the airport yesterday, the car was prompt, as always, a late model, roomy Toyota Highlander. The driver was courteous and handled luggage with a smile. My return airport trip is already booked as is my airport round trip for 3 months from now. Highly recommended.
The review reflects my experience and I am being rewarded with $10 toward a future trip.
So easy! Driver was great, on time and the experience was simple and effective. Couldn t ask for better.
I have been using Carmel since 1998, when we resided in a suburb of New York. We moved to Manhattan in 2004, and are still using their service. I have tried Uber, Lyft and Dial 7, but find Carmel more reliable, and very easy to use. Carmel has offered me $10 to do this review, but I am more than happy to give them a thumbs up, even if it was gratis!
Can I do less than one star? Awful. Called six times. Always on hold. Driver a few minutes away for 40 minutes. Got a Lyft in 40 seconds. No apology from Carmel. Nothing.
We have used Carmel car service several times and each experience was excellent. The drivers are polite, knowledgeable and arrive on time. Carmel car service helps to take some of the stress out of traveling. The fees are less expensive than Uber
We always reserve a car with Carmel when going to or from the airport. When being picked up at home, the driver is always early and waiting for us. Upon our return at the airport, it is very easy to confirm arrival and meet the driver at the terminal.
This is my genuine review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
The service was great. The driver guided me to his car perfectly.
Thank you
Car was clean with intact plastic curtain separating driver. Well chosen route in rush-hour. This is my review but I expect $10 credit
The website was super easy to use to book our trip to the airport. We had to make a last minute change to our booking and when I called the office they handled it with no problem at all. Our driver was on time, and was very pleasant and professional. Would definitely use them every time I come to new york
Very good service
All went well
Car w as 5 minutes early, polite driver, speedy and comfortable to LGA by best route. Carmel has lured me to give this review by a $10 reward but it is my own... at 78 I am not so easily bought.
I had an excellent service from Carmel for a pick up from LGA. My flight was delayed a couple of hours but Carmel ensured that there was a car waiting for me after I picked up my luggage even though it was a couple of hours after my reservation time. I also appreciated how quickly the operators pick up when telling them about the flight changes and when you tell them that you re ready for your car. Will definitely use this service again. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
I booked a car 24 hours in advance of my 14 hour flight home from abroad, I put in my flight information at the time of booking. I received a confirmation email and when I collected my luggage I used the app to say I was ready for a car. The app informed me the driver was on the way but the pickup was at the wrong terminal. I called, got hung up on, called again and was told the driver would come to me at the correct terminal in 8 minutes. After waiting 30 minutes total I called back and was at that time informed they didn t have a car for me! I was told I could continue to wait but there was no driver available.
I had a great Carmel experience yesterday. The car arrived early, which was very helpful. The driver was very nice, chatted a bit when I wanted to talk, and then was silent. He got me to my Brooklyn destination (I live in Manhattan) very quickly and without incident. It was an awesome ride. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it. Carmel is the only car service I use, as they are always reliable.
We had very good service going from Manhattan (2 stops) to Queens with a passenger who had a walker. The driver was very helpful
Driver was early, very considerate, drove carefully.
Always get a great service, despite the $10 voucher I'm getting for this review.
I used Carmel Car Service to book a last minute airport pick-up for my brother and his family. They were quick to accommodate my request and provided great service. The driver was on time and gave my brother a perfect ETA of when they would arrive at my apartment. I will definitely use their car service in the future.
We got to Newark, and I had set up the time wrong. A quick call to Carmel got everything straightened out, and the car was there within minutes. Excellent service both on phone and the driver.

I just had another excellent ride with Carmel - who I have used for years. My driver was excellent and he made it through insane NYC traffic with ease and calm focus. I always check with Carmel first when I need rides to/from the airports.
Car service - very reliable, good drivers, they show up on time and cars R v clean. Couldn t ask for any more efficient service!
Driver early, helpful and courteous. Lots of traffic but perfect driving. Would recommend them to anyone who doesn t want to tackle public transport or taxis with lots of luggage.
I availed myself of Carmel's service to be taken to JFK and also on my return and both times the drivers were very much on time, very friendly and helpful. I also find them to be excellent drivers who know the best way to go in order to minimize traffic
Excellent service!!! Third time using Carmel. Another great trip home from the airport. Quick and easy. Only waited a few minutes for car to arrive. Would definitely recommend Carmel to anyone looking for a ride to and from any airport.
Excellent all around
Prompt
Courteous
I mean it.
I must do a disclaimer that I am receiving compensation.
I have used Carmel for many years successfully
I use this service whenever I travel to NYC and have always had excellent service. The drivers are always early and waiting for me and courteous. I appreciate the email confirm and the available link to my car and driver information 15 minutes prior to my arranged time. Highly recommend. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
I was picked up from a medical office in NJ and driven back into Manhattan. My driver was prompt (in fact, even a few minutes ahead of time), polite, helpful and an excellent driver;. In addition, the car was immaculate. I may receive a $10 coupon for this review, but it is 100% truthful.
I've used Carmel for years and have never been disappointed. I would definitely recommend their services.
Great company! We really enjoyed from everything during the ride.
Car was there when I exited the terminal. Nice driver, comfortable car and cheaper than a cab.
Good service a little late on pick up but was a lot of construction and traffic. Trip to Manhattan hotel from LGA smooth and timely. Will continue to use as I have many times in the past.
They accommodated me when I called after midnight, to change my pick-up time due to a flight delay. The driver was on time and it was a smooth ride to the airport. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
I had an experienced driver named Shahin Who told me he had been working for Carmel for 25 years. He arrived early and I was not ready, and he was very patient and helpful. The car was comfortable and my driver was knowledgeable of the city And able to get me to my destination despite heavy traffic. This is my review and Carmel has offered a $10 compensation for writing it, and it is my honest feedback
Carmel drivers have always been early for my pickups, and knowledgeable about the best routes to take. They are courteous, experienced and professional. I would recommend Carmel to anyone.
I started to use Carmel Limo service again to escape public transportation for a while. They have consistently arrived early to ensure being on time.
The cars have been clean and the drivers have each been professional. I will continue to use their services.This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it. Carmel is the only car service I use, as they are always reliable.
Great service! Punctuality over all. We had transfer to Newark airport and would choose CarmelLimo again. They also give you back $10 when you agree to write a honest review.
Driver arrived early. Very friendly and was also sensitive to Covid concerns.
After 30 plus years of great service, covid-19 may cause me to abandon this service. Called to ask if cars had partitions and was told no. This does not work for a senior like me. Hope they reconsider. Uber is putting in partitions. Will miss you guys:(
We have used Carmel many, many times to take us to the airports in NYC, especially JFK. The record to date is 100% for their reliability, timeliness, professionalism of the drivers, and comfort of the cars. We recommend this service without hesitation.
"This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
I have been using Carmel for a long time. They are always professional, show up on time or early. Cars are clean. You can earn airline miles or points toward a trip too!Although I m getting $10 car cash to review, I would have done it anyway.
I will continue to use Carmel and recommend that you do too!
Perfect service. Today I used Carmel he first time and I m 100% satisfied. After my call the driver was 5 minutes later at the meeting point. The driver was very friendly and helpful. Price was also okay.
Would use it again!
This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
On time, clean car, good driver and reasonable cost. My experience with Carmel, over and over again, in New York City and Long Island.
I am earning $10 from Carmel for writing this review. Not a problem when you are a happy customer of Carmel.
It is 9:30pm, raining, and I need a car service. Checked different web sites and Carmel responds immediately with the vehicle of my choice. The driver bypasses a major traffic delay on the expressway and I quickly arrive home. The fare is reasonable. Carmel rewards customers who review their experience, I am rewarded with $10 cash.
Driver was on time and got us to our hotel safely and quickly. Highly recommend!
This is my review and I am awarded $10 Car Cash from Carmel for sharing it.
This is a great service. They took wonderful care of my daughter on her move to New York for the summer. I had great peace of mind knowing that she was getting from the airport to her apartment safely and hassle free!
Great car service, am receiving a $10 monetary credit for this review.
Amazing service. I have used these guys twice now and despite some negative comments I have seen the service is second to none. From booking to the pick up all is smooth. No issues with pick up (always very prompt) or cars used, drivers are very professional. I would highly recommend and would not use anyone else
The driver new all the shortcuts got me to the airport ahead of schedule dispute lots of traffic
We have been using Carmel's car service for years! Today's driver was very nice, helpful, friendly and made the trip pleasant.
After EXTENSIVELY researching all of my options to get to Newark Airport from Manhattan, I begrudgingly decided to book with CarmeI (because I'm cheap, I really wanted to save a few bucks and use public transportation).. I'm so glad I chose this route over the subway, train, bus options. It was well worth the money spent! Booked at the last minute and had a ride within 45 minutes. Highly recommend!
This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it. Wasn't a factor in the review because I don't think I'll use the credit anyway.
Such prompt and professional service always from Carmel!
Yes I m getting a discount to review, but not to leave a good review, which this is. Carmel is high quality, reliable, safe and comfortable. Good to know who I m dealing with rather than some random Uber.
Good service and price. Driver courteous and friendly.
"This is my honest review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it"
Easy online booking with clear price options. Car was on time and clean. Courteous driver who got me there fast. Thanks for a quick and easy trip! This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
Drivers were always on time and very polite. Highly recommend.
Terrible service. I've used them 3 times and had major issues 2 of them. The first time, the car was an HOUR LATE. Second time was fine. Third time, they called me 10 minutes before the car was supposed to arrive to say that the website quoted the wrong price and they need to bill $11 more or they would cancel the reservation. Terrible customer service and lost a customer over $11.
Arranged for pick up at Newark airport to Manhattan. Prompt pick up in clean car. Great rate! Usually take a cab but this was a much better experience! Thanks Carmel! This is my honest review. But I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it.
Excellent service. Driver was on time and conscience. He helped me with my luggage ( I have a walking challenge , so this is important to me) both getting into the car and getting out of the car. He was kinds and offered to put on instrumental music so I could rest. Overall, he was both kind and professional. Carmel should be proud
Always a great experience. Prompt personable reliable. This is an honest review and I also will receive a bonus for posting.
I rode from Ocean Grove NJ to NYC today in a carmel car. The driver was on time, the car was spotless and the driving was excellent. This is my own opinion and not that of anyone else.
Clean car, excellent driver. Customer service was superb.
I've used Carmel for many of my trips to the nearby airports, but I used the Carmel app for the first time today. It was even easier than calling, and the car was waiting at the curb just as I arrived. Paying on the app was also super easy. Will definitely use Carmel app again.
Carmel is always on time, cars are very clean, drivers are excellent drivers in traffic and personable. Carmel is always my first choice. This is my review, but they kindly give me $10 for sharing my review.
Very nice ride and pleasant driver.
Pickknup was right on time
Booked a transfer from Jfk airport to Manhattan.
Driver came within 10 minutes after collecting my luggage.
He was very helpful to help with my luggage.
Reached my destination within 40 minutes.
Booking price was very reasonable too.
Will recommend using Carmel car for transfer.
Great Service! Booked in advance and all I had to do was call them once had my bags at Laguardia. A short walk around the corner and the driver met me 5 minutes later. He was great and the trip to my hotel was easy. Best value of all the options I researched to get from LAG to Midtown.
I usually prefer Carmel. But this was my first and last late night call. 2 texts ... 5 phone calls saying the driver is on the way, it will be another 10 or 15 minutes ... 1 hour and 8 minutes later, I get a very polite driver who asked me ..."what no tip?" because I only tipped him $2. This was an interesting experience.
We had no problems with Carmel. We were picked up right on time and driven straight to our destination. The quote was exactly as they said it would be. Nice driver.
Excellent. Driver arrived early. Car very clean. Got to our destination quickly.
Picked me up w/in minutes of arriving, always a bonus!
Super friendly driver, a rarity in this town.
smooth comfortable ride with a skillful, careful driver! air conditioning was great- not too hot not too cold.
I use Carmel several times a year, whenever I fly out of LaGuardia or JFK. I have always found them to be on time, courteous, and easy to deal with.
I am getting $10 car cash toward my next ride for writing this review, but would write it for free, because they provide a reliable service.
Days searching in internet a transfer between Newark Airport to JFK Hilton in NYC. I know all the options will be costly but I kept searching. I reserved nothing and got to Newark. No transfer and don't know what to do. I saw in every corner this sign about this company and the easy way to work with it. I got the app, start playing with it and did it! I call a phone number, gave my confirmation # and in less than 15 minutes an Avalon was waiting for us. Very reliable and Profesional. In the web the less expensive transfer cost 74.00, in a van, without tolls and tips. And they get me to the airport and not to the Hotel. Would be more expensive because then had to take a cab to the hotel. Here was private, to the door and fast. The best price and best service by chance. This is my review but I am awarded $10 Car cash from Carmel for sharing it. I have to put this by law but is unfair and unnecessary because it looks like they are paying for a good review and that's not true. Frankly, we got satisfied and the ride was smooth and comfortable knowing that from Newark to JFK, that's almost impossible.
Give it a try, highly recommended.
I appreciate that Carmel has been there for the long haul. My flight home was delayed by 2 hours, I knew that I wanted a reliable, prompt and direct ride home and Carmel delivered on all counts. While compensated for ths review I attest to the validity of these comments.
I had a 5:30 AM pickup in midtown Manhattan for a ride to JFK. The driver arrived on time and introduced himself politely. He and the new Toyota Avalon were immaculate. I could not be more pleased with the service. This is an accurate review of my experience and Carmel has offered me $10 credit for expressing this review.
