I booked a 27 minute one way ride and received a very reasonable quote. However, in my Notes for Chauffeur, I mentioned that it was for transportation for the grand exit for my wedding. They replied that since it is for an event, I would be required to book for four hours, more than double what I was quoted. I decided to book with Blacklane instead, which has a really nice app and user interface. tl;dr don't mention it's for your wedding unless you're ready to pay the wedding tax. read more

One of their drivers ran a stop sign and I nearly hit him if I didn't stop so hard. They need to train their drivers better. Unacceptable and unsafe read more

Look at this car service driver's skills. First he blocks the street by driving 5mph and does not let anyone to pass him and then drives thru the intersection on red light. Nice job, car #14. Your drivers lic needs to be revoked. https://youtu.be/ik8lkKm7wmE read more

Worst Trip Ever There were train issues so I found this local company to take me from Gravesend to Sunset Park. Would have been a quick direct trip but the driver goes in the opposite direction. When questioned, he said he is taking the Belt Parkway, and that he has thirty five years of experience. Okay, fine. Take the Belt, that would be a little convoluted but it can work. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He hops on the Belt near Caesar's Bay and then gets off at Ft. Hamilton instead of the exit that leads us directly toward Sunset Park! When I confronted him, he still insisted that he knew what he was doing and that he is experienced and using the best route. We could've stayed on the Belt for one more exit instead of going through more than forty local streets. It took so much time and such a long detour to get to where I needed to go. I'm all for modern technology with GPS, which he did not have, but I assumed decades of experience would not warrant mapping technology. I have never been in a car service with such poor, poor navigation! Do not use this company. read more

I hate to write bad reviews. I realize it impacts peoples' businesses and jobs. But occasionally I'm just forced to. Last 2 times I used these guys: A. Told me 5 minute wait. After 15 minutes, told me 2 minutes. After another 20 minutes told me car is just about there. Came 10 minutes later. Total wait: 45 minutes. Promised time: 5 minutes. B. Told me come right down, will be there immediately. After 15 minute wait, call up, he gives me a snotty attitude, says will be there in a minute. Comes 25 minutes later. Total wait: 40 minutes. Promised time: under 5 minutes. After the second time, i used another car service for the ride back. Total wait: 5 minutes. Promised time to come: 5-10 minutes. This new car service was also cheaper, with a better quality car. What else can I say? read more

I've never reviewed anything online and hope to never again but I called to order a car last night and here's the response I got: "Where are you going? Actually, we're so busy right now I don't care." Winning car service. read more

Never on time. The dispatcher is extremely rude. I don't know how they could be in business so long. Half the drivers are drunks. Save yourself a headache and use a different service. read more

If I could give negative Stars I would. They wanted to charge me an extra $2 once I got in the car to go around the block because I forgot something at home while headed to the airport. The guy said it was considered two stops. Then I called the dispatcher he said an extra $5, but then said $3. I was so appalled and confused. Worst car service ever, biggest scam! read more

No matter what anyone else says, this car service is the most trust-worthy and reliable car service ever to exist. Even though the cars may be out of date, they treat their customers with empathy and are the opposite of monotone robots. Dispatchers get angry from clueless rampages for slight inconveniences that barely impacted the ride as a whole. Nitpickiness is a strong critique in most of these bad reviews. Bags of urine are completely false and drivers have bladders, every human does too, it's a basic modom of class to treat drivers like human beings and not automobile gluesticks that don't have lives. Some drivers even have bladder problems and diabetes with medical records to prove that they need to step out on the side of the road to urinate. There is a large boundary between cars and customers and some people need to wait patiently for cars to arrive. Buisnesses can't avord anymore automobiles, just like this small buisness. Drivers work on a schedule and need to get on time for other clients, that is why they may call you prior to get you outside. Drivers have been driving for almost 30 years plus and I am pretty sure if they are on the road for that amount of time, they would clearly know what they are doing, so don't judge their directions and sit back and enjoy the ride. Language barriers should not inferfere with communication, write the address and go. They treat all customers with respect and even translate wherever you need to go through their phone, making sure there is no miscommunication and their ride goes smooth. If you compare Uber prices to Prestige, you can see that there is a large barrier between and they have WAYYY cheaper prices. By the way, prestige is open 24/7, but different dispatchers cover at different times. Base closes at specific times during the day so each worker can get a day of rest, so treat dispatchers and drivers like humans and stop being so fussy over simple mistakes. Some drivers are not trained to deal with different types of clients, so if there is a weird altercation, please know that these drivers are immigrants who are not modernized to the world now, so try your best not to aggravate drivers. Drivers may show up a few minutes late and estimates are not always correct because of traffic and other situations. Russian stereotypes are completely unreasonasble. read more

I am so sad to see the negative reviews for Prestige -- I love these guys! I'm taking their car service to Bay Ridge right now! They are extremely reasonably priced -- when I needed a car from midtown after surgery to Gravesend they were over $30 less than the one I took the last time from midtown with another company. And for the folks bent out of shape for "how rude" they are - they are brusque like Russians probably because they are Russian - don't take it personally. I'd much rather have someone be straight with me than sugar coat anything. Prestige is my go-to car service and I have recommended them to everyone I know. read more

My 3yr old autistic son was discriminated against by their driver. We were thrown out of the car three avenues away from our destination (in Manhattan). The driver was upset that my son was blowing raspberries as we were entering the tunnel. He stated "sick in the head people need to stay home, not be out in public!" He made us get out of the car in a prohibited area and onto incoming traffic. He threw out my luggage and child's stroller from the trunk and ordered for us to get out & began screaming to NYPD that i have a sick in the head baby. My son barely got his foot out of the car and the jerk sped off! We are very much traumatized by this. read more

You should use Prestige if you enjoy terrible service. On three occasions, all within the past month, I have been jerked around by these guys while trying to get a cab. The first time, I was over an hour late for work due to them repeatedly telling me they were "5 minutes away." After an hour of waiting and being lied to, no cab was in sight and I ended up taking public transportation. The second time, I arranged for a cab to the airport a week before my flight. I called the night before to confirm and again the morning of my flight. Again, they were late and, again, they continuously told me "five minutes." This was followed by, "There was an accident on the belt parkway, you can look it up." First of all, I'm not sure why the driver was on the highway considering their headquarters are literally down the street from my house. Second of all, even if there was an accident, a driver should know how to get off at the nearest exit and take the side streets. Getting to the airport on time is pretty damn important and they couldn't have cared less. When he picked me up, I asked him to stop at the bodega on the corner so I could get cash out of the ATM (so I could pay him) and he responds, "If you get me a coffee." The nerve! When getting closer to the airport, I asked him how much the trip cost, to which he responded that he didn't know. Really? REALLY? He looked at me as though I was supposed to research the price of tolls. Finally, he called the headquarters and got a price. The third incident occurred upon my arrival at the airport when I returned from my trip. I called the night before to book a cab and to give them the airport information. They told me to call when the plane landed. I did. Then they told me to call when I got my luggage. I did. A Russian man called and screamed at me that he was at Kennedy airport and that I told him that's where I was. Um, pretty sure I wouldn't say Kennedy when I know damn well I'm at Newark. Bottom line: don't use these guys; they are unprofessional, incompetent and rude. read more

They sent a driver whose transmission needed repair. The car bucked all the way to Manhattan. I was nauseous the whole way. Then the driver hit the wall in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and had to pull over on a side street to replace his busted tire. He wouldn't let me out of the car to hail a cab. The dispatcher refused to refund the mandatory 20% tip because I had prepaid by credit card. In the past they have been late and have lied about how close they were to my location. I was once stranded at the airport for 40 minutes and could have been home in the time I was told would be "only 5 min". Never again. read more

Extremely rude. I used them to go to doctor and they said to call 1/2 hour before I was done for return trip. When I called back, the guy said he wasn't sending a car and that I should call someone else. He was yelling , was very nasty and practically hung up in my face! Never again! Call uber instead! read more

My colleague recommended me this car service as she takes it often. I agree with most of the yelpers, the operator was not friendly when I confirmed with my appointment. On the day of, the driver was on time (4am as scheduled) and it was raining/snowing (wintry mix, northeast storm, 3/5/15). I got to the airport faster than I expected and they are fairly priced. read more

I called a car. Dispatcher said 5 min. I was stepping out from physical therapy with an injured leg so I tried my best to get outside in 5 minutes. I waited 20 MORE MINUTES on my injured leg outside in the heat. F these people. Do not ever order a car from them. This is the worst taxi service in Brooklyn and I hope they shut down. The dispatcher is a shameless imbecile. I hope he gets fired. What a disgrace. read more

These people are horrible. There service is awful refused a drive cause of the area I was going in and made me wait over 20 mins to tell me thAt his driver was going home and he didn't wanna go. I mean ur a car service we pay for the ride I wouldn't recommend this place to any one absolutely garbage staff and cars. Over charge and have no class read more

They are completely rude! This Russian man screamed and insulted me - and this is all about a receipt. Not going to use their services EVER. They need to learn how to treat people. Ridiculous that they even stay in busines. read more

They're disgustingly rude, all of them!!! I would never recommend this place ever..! You better be walking than calling them...

I used the service few times, nobody was rude to me, just the opposite, very polite and professional. The car is always on time. There is a big Prestige logo on the cars so you know that it's your car waiting. Inside, the cars are very clean and you can also see the vehicle insurance, at least you know you are using a legit car service. The only minus is they are more expensive then competition but you get what you pay for. read more

by cocobaby46 I think they we're great, the driver was very nice, & he didn't drive like a maniac like most drivers from other places, he picked me up from the hospital, he dropped me off at the store, then took me home, I was grateful because I had no shoes on, it was raining, but the driver was great, not to mention, hotttttt!!!!!! read more

I called, and was waiting outside, riggt in front of tge address I gave the base. I heard a car honk, but it was down the street, so I didn't think it was for me. They called me, but for some reason, the call didn't register. I saw I had a missed call about 2 minutes later. I called back, no answer. I called the base, they said the driver left because I didn't answer. The guy at the base was a total dick. Even though I was standing in front of the address I gave them, he said it was my fault for not answering. I use car services all over Brooklyn and Prestige is now not on my list of places NOT to call. read more

My family and I have been using them for many years due to their proximity to me. No complaints, here. I have found them to be reliable and reasonably priced. They drove my handicapped elderly mother many times along the years and they were always kind and patient. read more

the cheapest prices in the neighborhood and the dispatchers are cool. they fib about the waiting time though. 5 mins = 15 mins but other than that, no big deal. read more

This is the worst car service I ever dealt with. I called them in bad weather to pick up my elderly mother from a train station and drive her 7 blocks to her home. The dispatcher actually cursed me out. Even if you have a long wait, just say you don't have cars, but that was so uncalled for. I was a regular customer. I will NEVER use them again. I called another car service and there was no wait. They picked her up right away. read more

I've been using car services in Brooklyn for 15 years and this one by far is the most professional. I use them for local service a few times a week and the the city a few times a month. I never had a negative experience. Their dispatchers and drivers are curteous and they are almost always on time. Their cars are all Lincoln Town cars and are clean. Most recently I lost my engagement ring in one of their cars and the driver returned it to me. About a year ago I forgot an iPhone in a car and it was returned to me as well. read more

Worse cab service EVER!!! The cars smell of cigarette smoke. I tried to complain to the guy at the office who said he told the drivers not to smoke in the cab and they are a bunch of A--holes for doing this. When I came out of the cab, I smelled like smoke even though I do not smoke!!! DO NOT TAKE!!! read more

Stay AWAY!!!! Cheaters....They wont mention the price and then would charge exorbitant amount.

This car service is very nasty, rude and they should close their doors!!!! It doesn't hurt to nice to customers!!!! Learn some manners!!!!

I'm only giving this car service 1 star because I needed to write a review. This car service is HORRIBLE. If you don't speak Russian your treated like garbage. I came here on a Friday night about midnight and was told that it would be about 20 minutes. A cab pulls up about 12 mins later and the dispatcher tried to have his Russian female friend take my cab until I intervened since she came in just 2 mins before the cab arrived. He shouted something in his language and told me go & waived me off. I won't be using them again read more

I always take Prestige from Manhattan back to Brooklyn after work and the cabs are always very clean and the cab drivers are always pleasant! This car service has the best prices and the best service! I know I can always rely on them, definitely would recommend to a friend! read more

I have been lucky to live next to such a reliable car service in the area. They might not always have perfect English, but they are well-mannered, respectful, and most importantly, the cars come on time! Never a problem with them in 12 years. read more

Businesses like this should not exist. I used them few times in a past - not perfect, not too bad. Called them couple days ago on thanksgiving day for a car and they said that next car will be available in 15 minutes. 30 minutes later I called back, because there was no car. A guy YELLED at me saying that he had a car for 20 minutes in front of my house and he called me to come out but i didn't pick up a phone. My phone was in my hand, working properly and i could not miss a call for sure. Anyway, even if his story really happened, it is not okay to yell at customers and talk rude like that guy did. Don't say that Russians are rude just because they are Russians, it is not true. I'm Russian, i know for sure + all Prestige's drivers that I had a ride with were extremely cool, polite and simply nice. I will never call them again only because of stupid guys like this dispatcher. I have already erased their phone number from my phone. read more
