Can anyone recommend a decent limo company for a JFK pickup? I recall reading a thread on this some time ago but can’t locate it.
I’m looking for a reliable company with a decent limo option, preferably Mercedes or the like.
Many thanks.
I've personally used Lincoln Limousine for quite a few years, and although their cars aren't usually the newest of the new, and they use Town Cars and stretches rather than German marques, they've proved reliable to me and those to whom I've mentioned them:
I've also used NYC Limo, but a client recently had such a poor experience that I'd caution against them.
Carmel are reliable too, though their basic service sees the cars wait off-site and you call to summon them:
I've also used EmpireCLS, who have a fleet of late-model cars and overall service levels of an apparently very high standard - though at something of a price:
Hope some of that is useful!
I used to used Manhattan Limousines a lot when I lived in NYC, but that was in the very early 2000's, and whilst they were consistently excellent then, things may have changed since.
I land at JFK tomorrow and I have Dial 7 booked. I have found them reliable, well priced, punctual and safe with clean new vehicles. You can specify liveried drivers and wifi if you wish.
Carmel I found good but many cars are older amd a bit shabby. Empire is good service but a lot more expensive.
Thank you all.
RichHI1 with Dial 7 do you recommend the curb side pickup or Meet & Greet service? Cost is not the factor, just looking for the better vehicle and the quickest pickup.

Does not affect car type. Empire have a dispatcher at JFK so thry meet you and take you to car. So that works. With Dial 7 and some of the others limos tend to do meet and greet but not with cars. I find calling when I have my bags and meeting outside is quickest. Normal wit 5 mins. Takes longer walking to parking etc. do remember if arriving from overseas cellphones cannot be used until you leave CBP area.

I normally use http://www.astretchout.com/ from JFK, with the meet and greet service. I would have chosen the Mercedes S550 previously, although it looks like they don't have this vehicle any longer.
