La Guardia to EWR

Sharon_M, Aug 2025

Well worth the money to have someone pick you up just outside baggage and drive thru NYC. Very pleasant trip.

JFK/LGA Transfer

Brenda_P, May 2025

This is the third time I have used Viator when traveling. Great experience every time. Have used them in Greece, France and now in States. They are professional. Show up on time and communicate to make sure pickup happens where/when it is scheduled. I knew the fee upfront so could plan ahead. Really reduces stress.

Badly Run Transfer Service

Sharon_W, May 2025

Very poor service after booking a transfer from JFK Airport to Newark Airport DO NOT USE THEM. They take your money and make very little effort to ensure the transfer takes place. It's nothing more than a badly run taxi service, yet they advertise themselves as some high quality executive service with a glossy website. I waited for almost 2 hours for a pickup from outside, what you can only call, very chaotic pickup points outside JFK. The drivers don't call your name and there is nothing other than a hand written card on the dash, which is too small to see. I can't see that it is right that the customer has to try to look at every dash of every car in the hope of getting their ride. There are hundreds of cars picking up passengers. Unless you have a US mobile phone you cannot be contacted by this company and no allowances are in.place for international travellers. It was cold and wet and I had to call them twice from the airport arrivals to find out what was going on. This company should have a better method of picking customers up from the airport. After an 8.5 hour hour long haul flight it was an extremely bad experience and to make matters worse I had difficulty communicating with the driver who then demanded a $20 trip and another$33 to cover the bridge toll. I had already paid £112 online prior to my trip. This company needs to rethink it process. An airport transfer is not , to quote their phrase , "an experience " and should therefore not be treated as such. Overall it's an appaling service.

Dear Customer, We are sorry and we apologize for any inconvenience. Please provide us your trip details , via our website and choose the Customer Care tab. We will look into your claim, and we'll reply and take action, as required. Sincerely, Carmel team.

No communication to...

Rebecca_C, Apr 2025

No communication to indicate what needed to do once our plane arrived. All my other Viator guides had sent me a message prior to my appointed time. All flight details were provided. I sent a message in the app with no response. I finally found a phone number to call, we waited 30 minutes for the ride. Also requested English speaking…we are Americans in America!! We could hardly understand the driver. I would not recommend. However we did finally make our connection. I’m thankful that we had sufficient time between flights.

Response from Host, May 2025

Exceptional service.

Anonymous, Jan 2025

There was some confusion about the pick up time but the transfer folks had texted me a phone number to call if needed. They thought transfer was 1:00 pm but it was really 7:00 am. I called and they had a car and driver there 7 minutes later. Great response.

On time, professional, comfortable

JohnD_P, Nov 2024

On time, professional, and comfortable transfer between the airports. Being older and having several heavy bags, the help, room, and comfort were greatly appreciated. Yes, more than a taxi or Uber, but after a long flight and clearing customs, it was nice to have this scheduled and certain.

Terribly disappointing

Rirkrit_T, Oct 2024

Awful, I rebooked an airport transfer to go from JFK to Newark and no car came, Viator doesn’t have direct access to the car service! They were calling and being on hold… they sent an email to Carmel car service to find the car but never tracked it down! It was over half an hour wait with no clear time or direction as to when or if the car would be coming. I had to cancel the ride as I needed to catch another flight. Horrible, gave me anxiety and no real assurances and they should have cancelled the car and find alternatives… but no! Will delete the app and not use this service again, useless waste of time and money.

Language barrier

Aleta_W, Aug 2024

Driver was late (about 20 mins) & we were rushing to get to JFK. The driver spoke no English, only Chinese, which made communication difficult. We did make are time but just barely

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Very Customer Unfriendly experience

VIKASH_C, Aug 2024

Too many issues. I clearly wanted a drop at JFK but Viator mistakenly mentioned La Guardia. Getting this corrected was a pain. Then. locating the driver at Newark was really tough. Finally the driver expected a 25% tip and almost insisted on it - this is supposed to be voluntary.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

LeBron the 5 star driver

My driver LeBron was very professional and informative about the surrounding area. His van was very comfortable, clean and I was able to relax after dealing with a hectic flight schedule!

No show

Kathie_D, Jul 2024

No show no call. I registered and gave all my flight information. I was unable to check in at the 12 hour mark because I was in the air. I included that in my registration information. We ended up just taking a taxi.

I would like a refund.

Jacquelyn_C, Jun 2024

We couldn't find the driver and had to take a taxi that was too small for 5 of us. I would like a refund from Viator. I trusted them but now I don't.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Great Driver!!

Brenda_H, Jun 2024

Our driver was excellent. We got our luggage at LaGuardia went through the door to the pick up area. He was right there with my name prominently displayed. He drove us to JFK, great driver, not hair racing, but not a slow poke. Stayed right with the traffic. No honking. The entire experience was very seamless. I initially had so many worries about going from LaGuardia to JFK. It took me an hour from landing to dropping off. Would always do this again!!! So wonderful that you have this service.

Finally got to JFK.

Pamela_P, May 2024

We requested a driver and private car at 3.30pm. I had to call dispatch twice and he still was 45 minutes late. The car was an older model with fake leather seat overs, and was not to the standard private car services offer. The driver also expressed his personal political views which I found unnecessary.

Response from Host, May 2024

The convenience was great...

Shari_S, May 2024

The convenience was great and the our driver was prompt upon calling our local car service upon our arrival to JFK. Tolls are not built in to the price. You are already paying ~$50 pp for the service and the toll fees are ~$33. There has to be a system in place with the car service or viator to help offset this cost. The driver was great and helped with our bags and was polite. I gave 4 stars because of the toll fee situation. Thanks.

Sylvie_C, Nov 2023

The service in general was ok but the driver was not so nice. Didn’t help us with our bags and the only thing he said was “ the tolls and tips are not included, you have to pay”. We were very disappointed.

Reliable, Not Special!

Dale_K, Oct 2023

Driver was most nice. Procedures in NYC hardly make private transfer worthwhile unless you know you are arriving at bad time. Too much walking with no help as drivers aren’t allowed inside to meet the driver. Driver not on site. Car not special. Okay, sort of reliable but special.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Poor customer service

Steven_S, Oct 2023

Not very happy how I was contacted when I landed ( or the 45 minutes I had to wait for my ride ) The best part of my experience was the new vehicle without any smoke smell

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Tips not optional

Anna_C, Sep 2023

The car was okay. While our voucher says gratuities are optional at our discretion, the driver demanded a 10% tips.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Terrible experience

Tracey_S, Sep 2023

Driver late and accused us of waiting in the wrong place. He was incredibly rude and hardly spoke English. He drove like a maniac and was watching videos on his phone while driving! Aggressive about a tip and would only accept the largest tip of 35%. An awful experience. We feel a refund of his tip is appropriate as his service was non-existance.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Professional and courteous.

Linda_H, Sep 2023

Clear instruction for pick up location and car. Flight deboarding was delayed due to weather and car was patient and waited! Professional driver!

Too expensive

pamelaellenpage, Aug 2023

The driver was okay. I was aware that I was responsible for tolls however 200 canadian dollars I paid to be transferred from JFK to Newark then was stuck paying 57 USA dollars for tolls in which I did not even get a receipt for. I find it hard to believe people pay that much money in tolls daily to go from New York to Jersey. I feel I got scammed.
