Reviews of Arecibo Car Service
I had not had the need for car service in quite some time, until most recently following a famiky emergency out if town...
I checked my contacts and Arecibo appeared.
It felt like old times, speaking with the dispatcher, staing my location and the rest is history!
Tony was my contact person. Totally pleasant, professional and to the letter of very good service for my trip to the airport.
On my return arrival I took a chance for return service, and much oi my delight Arecibo did not fail!
Edwin was my contact and equally professional, thorough and reassuring. Due to the hectic nature of airports, there was a bit of a scramble locating my driver, but with patience and faith I finally connected with Tyrone and enjoyed a safe and lovely pleasant ride home.
Thank you Arecibo!
I will maintain you as my Go-To for my car service needs.
I will you all continued success and best wishes
Great car service. The only reason why I took a star off is because you have to ask for the car in advance. Sometimes it takes a longer and others, it's right away, so it feels like a guessing game regarding schedules.
They were very prompt in responding when I needed a 4am pickup. The driver was professional and kind. I was very impressed and happy with the service. Highly recommend.
They were reliable, efficient, and appropriately priced for me to travel from Brooklyn to LGA. I scheduled my ride one day before I needed it via their website, however the friends who told me about it mentioned they always call to schedule. I got an email response saying it was confirmed. The driver showed up at the exact time I scheduled.
I went on a Thursday afternoon. They got me to LGA quickly and safely. It was $48 plus tip which was cheaper than any other car sharing options at the time, including Curb.
Always on time, nice drivers, can pay with a CC if necessary but try to do cash for tip. Have used them for years with great service and rates
Very smooth car service, our driver Fabian was very friendly, punctual, and helpful!
I will definitely use Arecibo for my next trip to NYC
I've used Arecibo many times over the last 20+ years and I recommend them without hesitation. I have had good experiences with them repeatedly.
Fully satisfied with my experience. It was easy to fill out the form online, response was prompt, when I had a last minute flight change and had to change my airport drop off, they replied quickly. Pick up was right on time, and the ride was smooth and uneventful. I will use them for all future airport rides as they eliminate the stress and price variety of on-demand rides!
These people are beyond nice..Had broken down or 3rd ave..with some work people..call them explain we were on an outing. Vehicle broke down how many there were. No problem..sent two vehicles to pick us up..so we got home safe n sound but more important together. Will definitely use them again
.
Great local taxi service, on time, respectable, and efficient. Drivers I’ve had usually prefer cash so keep that in mind. Chauffeur services feels a little misleading but all in all great service
They were amazing! We used them to get to LGA and back. We needed a toddler car seat, so couldn’t just rely on Uber or Lyft. They were great at being in contact, had well maintained car seats and were well priced. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely use them again.
Grateful Arecibo exists. Reliable, friendly, communicative drivers, who got me to and from the airport at a flat rate with no surprises. Thank you!
RELIABLE! We will use this car service anytime we’re in NY. They are on time and had car seats, as requested.
One of my go-to services when I'm in the area. Years, never had a bad experience. Good timing, fair prices
They helped me jump start my car. Extremely fast service!
Recommended by a friend and used Arecibo for the first time today. Our own car broke down on the highway. I called Arecibo to see if they can send one of their cars to where we were stranded to take my kids and me home while leaving spouse to deal with our broken down car. The dispatcher stayed with me on the phone almost the entire time while we tried to see where the tow truck would take us. Both the dispatcher and the driver were incredibly accommodating and provided superb professional and kind service. The cost was reasonable. Definitely will be our go-to car service from now on.
Arecibo is my go to any time I need airport transportation. You can book in advance via their app. Service is great, reasonably priced, and responsive. We landed early and it was easy to update the pickup time in the app. I love being able to support a local business rather than Uber.
I booked this agency to me from LGA to times square. They were on time. They were very polite. The cars were very nice and fit my family of 4 with all out luggage comfortably. The price is much cheaper than other agencies. I will definitely use them every time I vsiit!
Driver was on time, very polite and smooth driving. Uncomplicated reservation for flatrate to JFK, would recommend!
They always arrive on time for my early morning flights and the prices are reasonable.
Can’t recommend this team more. We’ve been using them for a year now for airport transportation and they truly alleviate the stress of traveling in New York. Flat fees to all airports are unbeatable compared to the apps. Drivers are always on time if not early.
It seems most all of the bad reviews could have been mitigated as long as you: Plan ahead and book online. Always pay cash. Make sure you note any special needs.
I’ve been using Arecibo since 2008 and they have never failed me. The apps vary so widely in pricing that you never know what you’re going to get… and that’s frustrating when it’s 4am and you need to get to JFK asap! I always know how much my ride with Arecibo is going to be, and it takes the guesswork out of the situation. Cars are always clean and tidy, drivers are early or on time, and I get where I need to go.
Driver was great and early and helped me load a ton of art work and then unload it.
Be prepared to wait a hour and a half for a driver once the ride is being paid for by insurance. You're lucky if you're picked up ontime to be taken to your appointment. Not sure as to why drivers wouldn't want pick up passenger's, you're being paid just as any other ride.
Great for airport transfers with a baby. A reliable service even when our flight was delayed into the night. Infant car seat was clean and in excellent condition.
Used them for 15+ years. Always reliable, always on time, always competitively priced.
Okay, so 5 stars is a bit of an exaggeration, but they're local and the value is better than Uber and Lyft.
The anti-Uber! Better service, great value, nice people. ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent car service to JFK from Windsor Terrace.
Have used them multiple times for trips to and from JFK / LGA and home. Always on time, friendly drivers and very reasonable rates.
I deleted Uber and Lyft apps because of Arecibo. They got me to midtown from Bklyn and back for 1/2 the cost and no wait. Highly recommended.
Best car service. I use them instead of an Uber/Lyft anytime I know I’m going somewhere in advanced.
The driver was nice and professional. Thanks
Whenever I'm visiting NYC, Arecibo is my #1 choice for car service. Prices are almost always cheaper than any of the other options available. The best part is if you're running behind, they will wait a reasonable amount of time for you.
Very happy with our airport transfers; Arecibo answer phone quickly (& it’s a person!), easy to arrange, drivers were both on time, professional, helpful & had the rear-facing infant car seat I asked for. (Rafi yesterday was particularly helpful with getting out luggage, stroller etc - thank you). Price given on phone & easy to pay after journey vis cash or credit card. I’d definitely use again!
Drivers are courteous and arrive on time. You get a text with the driver’s name and car info. Driver calls u when they arrive. Cars are clean. Dispatchers are nice too. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love this car service. They are quick and nice. Only thing is, when you call for a car, be sure to tell the dispatcher to be sure to tell the driver of you have a credit card. Sometimes the driver doesn't have a card reader and it's a little annoying.
I have used Arecibo for 15 plus years and I have never had an issue with them. The car service drivers have always been friendly, on-time and helpful. I have used them for airport pickups and drop-offs. Always reliable.
I use Arecibo every Christmas day to get my brother-in-law home.
They are always on time with a clean beautiful vehicle ,with a professional and courteous driver ( Rafi is the Best )
On top of all that, their rates are very reasonable
Just dropped me off at JFK from Brooklyn. Excellent service. Was easy to get a quote via email and have the car scheduled for pickup. The car arrived a couple minutes early and the driver was very courteous and professional.
I used this car service to get to JFK this week. It took them 6 mins to come get me and the flat rate was very affordable. I will continue to use them whenever I need a cab. Nice and clean car, fast service.
Stress-free travel from Brooklyn to Newark. Easy to arrange the booking over the phone (booked 1 day prior) for a car/mini-van suitable for 4 passengers & suitcases. Our pre-booked vehicle arrived early which was fantastic as there was no anxiety about whether they'd turn up on time or not. Our driver, Carmen, was great. No issues with traffic, took a good route to the airport. Great value compared to others & price was as agreed when booked. Would definitely use again.
This is how I get to the airport on time. The drivers are always skilled and professional. I can’t imagine trying to hail a cab this early or trusting a newbie rideshare app driver. No idea why the reviews are so bad when these guys are consistently reliable for me.
Excellent! Had to get from Brooklyn NY to Cliffside Park NJ for my Aunt's funeral but did not have my car. Reserved a car online the day before. The driver was on time safe and courteous
Highly recommend this car service. Plus my wife uses them all the time.
Best car service around! Best prices, always on time with text notifications. And best of all they have PLASTIC between the driver and passengers during Covid 19! I highly recommend this car service.
Great driver! Got us to JFK through heavy traffic and was really nice! I also booked last minute and had no issues.
My family was traveling to Jamaica and we were looking for a car service that offers cars with car seats for children as my children are 3 and 6 months. I googled it and Arecibo Car Service came up. I called to arrange a car for 4 adults and 2 children with a car seat for a toddler and an infant. They told me don't worry and gave me a set price. At the same time I also set up a pick up from the airport as well. Right before we were supposed to fly out of New York for Jamaica we had a snow storm but I was assured by Arecibo not to worry out car will be there. I had set up for a 6am pick on the day of our flight. At 6am I got a call from Arecibo that our car was outside and at the same time a text as well. The car that came was the exactly what I had requested. We made it to JFK with no problem. The driver was excellent. I was told when I come back to call the car service and they will have a car ready for us. Instead of me calling, the driver called me 5 times while on was JFK going to through customs to let me know he is outside and just to call him when I outside. Once we got outside I called the driver and he was there within seconds. Once again they had send a car just like I requested with 2 car seats just like I needed. I highly recommend Arecibo Car Service. They are on time and they listen to your needs. Thank you Arecibo for making my vacation very easy.
I used Arecibo from Park Slope to JFK. After I signed up, the company sent me a $3 coupon off to the airport. The driver was nice enough, the ride okay. When we got to the airport, the driver did not honor the coupon. First tried to tell me it expired Oct. 12 - when it said on it Oct 31. Told me I had to have it printed out when it said right on it - show this coupon on your phone "or" print it out. But, only $3, right? Except the driver then quickly used his phone to run the tab - and he ran the tab for $43. The online quote was $40. So, now this ride was costing $6 more than expected. I signed for it - then handed the driver an $8 cash tip. When I got inside the airport and checked my email, I found that the driver had not only added $3 to the fare - but had given himself a $6.49 tip without asking me. And he accepted the cash, too! What a dodgy deal that was. moral of this tale - expect the ride to cost more than advertised and expect them to tip themselves, so don't bother to give more. And don't sign it until you double check the figure. The print is small.
I’ve used Arecibo to get from Gowanus to JFK twice now. Clean van and professional driver. Each time, they’ve texted me before arrival and the driver arrived early. I’ll book again.
i booked the taxi online to get us to the airport. the Taxi was on time (even few minutes before), driver was polite and the ride was smooth. There was an issue with the price, however, as the driver told me a higher price then i was told, but we settled it ok. all - in all - relatively cheap compared to others and a good service.
I live in Crown Heights on Nostrand Ave. Even though these guys are on the other side of the park, they have become my go-to car service. I almost exclusively use them to go to and from the airport. They are great for this. Good prices and not many annoying drivers. They usually show up within 5 minutes of their promise, my worst wait ever was 15 minutes but that only happened once. Recommended for LGA and JFK.
I've always found Arecibo to be very prompt and courteous. I recently had to travel from Brooklyn to the UWS, and they took me on what seemed to be a crazy roundabout route there. Regardless though, the pricing was more than fair. Clean cars and quiet respectful drivers.
After years of assuming that Arecibo was not really airport focused, I tried them for a JFK pickup.
Surprise! Without a reservation, they dispatched a car more quickly (5 min)than the car service I had been using WITH reservations.
The driver, Diego, was friendly and knowledgeable of alternatives to the backed up expressways. Local knowledge is very important around Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Red Hook as the GPSs lead you into the worst traffic.
They’re reliable, cheaper than any other taxi or Lyft or Uber, their drivers are friendly, and they will always have a car nearby in Brooklyn or at JFK/LGA for pickup! “5 minutes” always.
Flight was delayed more than an hour, they made sure there was a car there when I did arrive
Excellent service my driver was great
Arecibo is reliable, usually arriving within 5 minutes of your call. It's longer than that, they will let you know. Moreover, they are less expensive than Lyft and Uber.
Never had a bad experience w them. Once or twice they say 10 mins and its 20 or something, but thats traffic or drivers getting sidetracked. Just as often i call and they have someone like 2 blocks away. Thats just nyc. Been using them since the late 90s. Even when my nabe was a place cars avoided, they came, no attitude, no "why are you living here". Friendly people.
The driver was a lady. Very helpful. Could not park because of bus stop so she called to let us know where she was. Came out of her car so we could see her.
Called the night before to reserve a 5AM pickup to Newark airport. Arrived at exactly 5 and got my family and I promptly to the airport. I recommend this car service.
Prompt. Well-priced, but don't fall for the extra credit card charge some of the drivers like to pull. Just pay them what the price is, plus tip if it's warranted.
Good service
Good prices
I recommend this company
Very friendly and good driver's I will be calling soon
Quick, easy, cheap. Fast. Friendly. If you call they always say "cinco minutos" wherever they are. We joke about it, because they're always here in 5 min. Only way I ever use to airport, because they're reliable (always waiting for me) and as a real estate agent one day I had to go all around lower manhattan when it was raining buckets with a client. 2 hours door to door and wait at each stop $45 + tip. Can't beat that and the client loved the service! I've seen plenty of neighbors frantically calling when their car doesn't arrive and once I give them arecibo's number they are very happy. Indeed, caught one woman crying in Tribeca @ 6 am frantic her car never showed up to get to airport for international flight and another service kept telling her they'd be there. Arecibo-- 5 min. She stopped crying as soon as they arrived.
As an English Woman in NYC I found these guys on the net and just hoped all would be OK. They were great. They were on time and very courteous to my family and me and handled the many bags we had with aplomb!
The driver was pulled up to the address that I gave . He called to let me know exactly when he was pulling up. He even opened the door for me, so I had a chance to close my umbrella because it was pouring rain . He was very courteous.
Excellent friendly and professional service but the cars could be a bit nicer.
Always on time cars are clean and prices are reasonable. I don't travel much but when I need to go to the airport, I call them.
When Eastern doesn't answer, I call Arecibo and they never disappoint me, so I've started calling Arecibo first. Great for my grandma when she's traveling alone and the drivers are never on the phone yapping away when i'm in the car. Phew!
Reliable very nice on the phone very respectful and clean drivers with clean vehicles I have nothing but good things to say about them keep up the good work!
Always on time and the drivers whom have picked me up were all very polite and courteous.
I have always had a good experience with Arecibo. Fair prices, five to ten minute waits. Good airport service. I find them reliable and helpful.
Great service with reasonable rates!
Everytime I call day or night Arecibo has a car available. All the drivers wear a mask and the cars are very clean.
They have fixed price rides to airports. They are always on time.
Everything was excellent.
On time, nice and clean vehicle and courteous driver.
Long before UBER there was Arecibo. To me the quintessential Brooklyn based car service. Reasonably priced, quick and reliable.
I call them in a pinch. Helpful to have on hand especially when Lyft and Uber rates are through the roof.
I have used arescibo car service for some years now, and now with the app is even faster and easier. Great service
I am using arciebo long time they have a good service specially tony
Service was prompt, courteous and reliable. Car was clean and comfortable. I was very pleased.
I know they have some mixed reviews online but I've used them to and from the airport on several occasions and have always been satisfied.
Excellent service without changing the prices, depending upon time of day, the way Uber and Lyft do.
I live in Brooklyn and I always call Arecibo when I have an early morning flight. It’s great peace of mind to fall asleep knowing they will be there on time in the morning (or really the middle of the night!)
Clean, quick and to the point and far cheaper than a taxi. We use them every time we go out ny to see our family in Brooklyn.
Never let's me down on my airport rides. Now it's even better. You can reserve online
Great service, great rates, and always quick. Even had a wheelchair equiped vehicle.
Fantastic service. Wonderful drivers. Great prices. Would give plus stars if possible
Call for service and the car was sent in about 12 minutes. The cab was clean, tidy and the conversation present.
A place to get a good Taxing service
Reliable, timely, and no surge pricing. This is my go to for getting a ride when I'm in the neighborhood.
Always on time. Always a transparent and fair price. Great service to order a van or truck when transporting something heavy.
Very professional punctual with nice clean cars. Highly recommend!
One of the best car services in brooklyn! Professional drivers all around
Pick up on time, good price, arrived on time. They have an app or you can call them.
THIS IS A REVIEW BASED ON MULTIPLE EXPERIENCE: No complaints. When I really need them. They never fail and the cars are really clean
I really love their service. They're on time and the management is so kind. I can't recommend them enough.
Great car service!
They're courteous, on time, good drivers, and generally better priced than anyone else. LOVE these guys.
Great and courteous drivers. Great prices and prompt puck up. Cars are always clean.
Ok time and courteous. A bit too much cad freshener for my liking but all in all helpful
Cheaper than uber right now
But sometimes they have no drivers
They need to inforce mask wearing
Super-fast pickup at the airport today. Saved my GF and I when our Uber driver cancelled on us.
Very good experience with Arecibo : driver punctual, polite and good price (50 $ from East Prospect Park to JFK Airport ).
Always quick and courteous, human drivers and clean cars....a great option to darling the unknown.
Brooklyn Moon
I use these guys to get from Park Slope to JFK all the time and it's usually great. Prompt cars and nice drivers.
This Trader Joe's needs more vegan options and a better system for checking out. Other than that it's a good place.
Never let me down. Awesome service, clean cars & great service. I used them regularly❤👍👍 …
Service is okay what they tell you one price when you call and then it's another price When the Call Comes
Great airport service. Good drivers, plenty of car seats available and reliable service.

good driver, they put you on hold forever to find you a driver though
Arecibo - clean cars good drivers
Almost always on time.
Never had issues using this service many times at night from the western part of Crown Heights. Which is about 10 minutes away from Arecibo office.
Wonderful respectable drivers...Always courteous and on time..Try and enjoy the ride👌🙂 …

Best car service in Brooklyn. Easy phone calls and app with excellent service and affordable prices.
Great drivers nice clean cars , very friendly with kids
It has excellent service and affordable cost. I like that the drivers speak Spanish.
Good service, a bit of mutual bragging at the SDA about the pick-up point. Not sure the price was the cheapest, but convenience costs money.
A very good efficient and economical service.
Well
rich
Good service
Excellent 👍👍👍👍🙏
