Pick up from the airport

Can anyone recommend a good pick up service from JFK to midtown?

Pick up from the airport

We%26#39;ve just booked the same trip with Strussers (www.strusserslimousineservice.com/index.php) for $129, waiting time, toll and tip included.

you could just hop in a taxi - $60 inc toll and tip ($45 flat fee to anywhere in Manhattan). I%26#39;ve never had to wait for one (go straight outside the terminal to the taxi booth do not accept lifts from anyone offering to get you there cheaper.

Then you%26#39;re lucky.

Last year we only had to wait around 30 mins, as we got off the plane and through immigration quickly.

As we got in the cab, the queue was massive.

This year, we%26#39;re getting a car with %26#39;meet and greet%26#39; so there%26#39;s little or no waiting.

Dial 7 are doing an offer of $40 JFK to midtown

RazzaVictoria,

My husband uses Vital Transportation (www.govital.com). He is with a major consulting firm and a lot of guys use them. We have always had great service and they are prompt. I have used them quite a bit from LGA to Midtown East. They charge more to meet you at baggage claim. I usually meet mine outside, they have a number in the passenger window so you know that is your car.

I recommend using a car service over a Taxi, especially if you are a woman and at night. Plus usually when I fly into LGA there is usually a long wait for Taxis. Not sure about JFK.

With all due respect a cab is a much better option for a woman alone than a car service. Cabs are regulated and insured. Black car drivers are often independent contractors. As a savvy woman traveler, I do all I can do to avoid being alone in a car with a strange man. In fact, I will opt for the subway over a car/cab when at all possible.

Delta seems to be the worst - at LGA and Kennedy for waits. In November I waited over an hour for a cab at Delta at JFK. the driver told me the lot was full of cabs but the dispatcher never called to tell them there was a line. So, at 1am on Monday I begged the dispatcher by Delta at LGA to call the lot for more cabs and he ignored me. ';Only'; took 40 minutes for a line of 20 people to get cabs... I should have just taken a bus to the subway.

Evening,

Your post has me worried. I had intended to go with Dial 7 for pick up. Last year I used a shuttle service, and was the last one dropped off. The total trip took two hours. You think a cab would be safer?

I think Dial7 is perfectly safe and would use them without any concern.

I don%26#39;t think anyone needs to be worried about safety in a cab/car service/shuttle, even if you%26#39;re alone with the driver or the last person dropped off. I can%26#39;t imagine going through life being afraid of every single person you encounter, and it%26#39;s certainly not going to make for a pleasant vacation.
