On time pickups, completely reliable and honest (will tell you when they don't have enough vehicles to keep you from waiting). I've left for the airport at 4:30 am and the car was already waiting out front when I called to check at 3:45. Cash only. They help with the bags and I've encouraged friends and family to use this company. Never had any complaints! We had a surgery scheduled and needed to get to the hospital and they got me there and helped with the anxiety we felt at 3:30 am. Highly recommended!! read more

I have been using Quick Ride for years and is the only car service I will continue using. They've always gone above and beyond in accommodating me with excellent car service to/from JFK or Newark international airports (especially with the construction going on at JFK). The drivers are professional and have clean cars. I always feel safe riding with them and tip generously for their outstanding service. read more

This is really a service for those living in the Chinatown/ LES / East Village neighborhoods. Quick Ride always comes through for us to go to the airport, because the dispatcher is on the ball Still, I always confirm my reservation because it is just safer to do so. I have found Quick Ride a little less efficient leaving from the airport to home, because we usually have to wait for the driver to get to the terminal from wherever they are parked. It is CASH ONLY! read more

Yet another fabulous experience with Quick Ride!! Both going to JFK on Nov 29th and then returning last night.It was super easy communicating by phone with Cynthia and the drivers were perfectly on time. Even though JFK was it'd usual madhouse last night and our coming through Customs would be unpredictable, the driver was only 5 minutes away after we called Cynthia to tell her our exact location outside terminal 1 Also the price is so reasonable compared to Lyft, Uber and taxis read more

I can't believe it's been five years since my last visit! This is still the best way to get to Manhattan. Easy too! I called a couple days before arrival, was told to call as soon as we were ready to leave JFK, and when I did that, I was given a car number and a description. Upon arrival, the driver, Winston, called me and said what kind of car to look for. On the ride to JFK, Mr. Tran, picked us up in front of our hotel, and drove us safely to the airport. You have the choice to engage with the drivers or not. They will not bother you if you are talking, so the drive is nice. The price is reasonable and it's cash only. This is the only service I will use! Until next time! read more

Found Quick Ride via Yelp as they're the most popular and highest rated Car Service in NY! Made a phone reservation a few days in advance, provided my flight number, and called Quick Ride after picking up my luggage. The driver came in a Lincoln Towncar w/ the extended wheelbase which had an excellent amount of legroom. The transmission was on its last legs as shifts were very jerky... The car was clean and the driver courteous and professional. $35 + $11 tolls from LGA to 43rd & 2nd + tip. Cash only. read more

See all

Easy to communicate and order the car a few days in advance. Perfect ride. Driver came early with a nice, clean van. Thank you!

Awful customer service. On the return trip home I told the driver there would be a slight deviation from the original plan. Instead of heading straight to Orchard Street, there would be two stops - first one in Midtown (to drop off my friend) then the Orchard Street stop. The driver drove very aggressively and weirdly kept arguing with us, saying that he wanted to take the W'burg bridge. We told him multiple times that there was no traffic on the midtown tunnel, and that we wanted to use the tunnel. He took the tunnel as requested and dropped off my friend. Then, after he dropped off my friend, he told me that the price has now gone up to $50 from the original $30. Huh? That is a drastic price gouging increase! Even if the driver had to pay an extra toll -- which he did not tell us by the way -- there's no way it should cost me $20 extra dollars just to drop off a friend in midtown. If he had told me that at the beginning, I would have agreed to use the W'burg bridge and made my friend take a separate cab solo up to midtown. I cannot understand why he deceived me like that. He told me to call the office, which I did, and I found that they were also very shady. I paid the $50 and even tipped the driver an extra $10, but this was a very bad experience because of terrible customer service. Total bait and switch. The driver should have made it clear at the beginning that our route was going to cost a lot more money. read more

Very good. The woman who answered was very responsive. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 is because the car was not clearly marked. I was walked back and forth at the designated spot at the airport. All I was told was that was a black car with the number 80 and that it would have a quick trip sign. When the driver pulled up, he held up a sign with the number 80. I will probably try them again for an at-home pickup. read more

CANCELS ON YOU AT LAST MINUTE!! Car service that cancels your airport pickup reservation at the last minute after a 3 1/2 hour flight delay. I even called to let them know the flight was delayed when we were finally about to take off. They acknowledged that they knew since they had my flight info the entire time. My 8pm arrival ended up landing at 11:30pm today. I get a text at 11:01pm saying "..sorry we don't have a car to pick you up". What kind of people do that to a family with a 1 year old baby that has already had a horrible travel experience? They offer no explanation and just said they were just passing along the message as their shift started. Why do airport reservations if you can't guarantee a pickup? You can also be screwed if you use them. Plenty of other options out there, you shouldn't have to take the risk of using Quick Ride NYC. read more

Quick Ride Corp - Customer service while flight was in the air. - Taxis Near Me - New York, New York

Made reservations for pickup to JFK for 6:30am, 10 days out, 3 days out I confirmed. Day of pickup, NO show. I called, said I made it for 6:30pm, I said No, I confirmed with the same lady, then she said I canceled, which I did not do, obviously lied, It's a same, I have used them for years. Just use NYC Taxi, only $1.85 more... read more

Summary: It's not a black car, but it's typically priced well. Many of the drivers are Cantonese. English is fine. Pricing: Very competitive. It's about the same as to the airport, but you don't have fear of getting fleeced. This is esp true if you're going to Newark. Within Manhattan, they can be competitive to Uber. If you know your timing, I'd book them or at least call for a quote. They don't give any attitude about waiting too long. Payment: I always assume it's cash only. Just make sure you call and confirm if you aren't paying cash. Drivers: I like the drivers a lot. They always are pretty chill and don't go crazy about minor things that might happen along the way. Also, they have typically with the company for some time. You don't get a lot of beginner drivers who will argue with you when you are 100% certain they are going the wrong way. read more

I booked a ride with Quick Ride Corp one week prior to my flight to LGA. I received a confirmation with them and everything seemed okay until the morning of my flight when they called to tell me that there are no more cars available. They didn't offer any compensation or alternatives but just told me that there was a problem with one of their drivers' cars. The whole situation was very stressful, especially having to find a new driver just a couple hours prior to my flight. Ill never be using this service again read more

I booked a car to JFK a day and a half early. There is enough uncertainty around an international flight, and I didn't want to worry about getting to the airport. However, when the car didn't show up on time I called. Was it on the way? A quick check of their records. Then the answer, "Uh, no." If you don't mind scrambling for a last-minute cab ride, this is the company for you. Otherwise, pick any other service. As rude and expensive as they might be, at least they'll show up. read more

I've been using this company for car service for almost 10 years. Just finished booking a trip with them to JFK and realized that I have never given them a review! I first used this car service to commute between Lower Manhattan to Greenwich, Connecticut for work every weekend for two years (my boss offered me the free rides, so why not?). I was always picked up on time. The cars were clean and the drivers were always polite. The drivers always waited for me to finish work before getting me back into the city safely. One time, we were stuck in a snowstorm on the way home and I had the loveliest conversation in Cantonese with the driver. Took us hours to drive back into the city, but he got me back! Now I only use Quick Ride for airport trips. Much cheaper than Uber or Lyft and I can pre-book. It's cash only, but you can't beat the quality or price! read more

THEY FORGOT TO PICK ME UP... AFTER A FRIGGIN RED EYE!!!! I called when I arrived at Newark as normal, and the lady gasped and said, "Oh, it's earlier than we expected." I asked what she meant and she said the passenger before me changed their pick-up to 5-10 minutes later, so they wouldn't be able to pick me up for another 30 minutes. It made no sense. If another customer requested a change that would clearly create an issue for other booked customers, why agree to accommodate it? I booked this car far in advance and they didn't even bother to call me to let me know there would be an issue - or offer any other alternative arrangements. I've used them for 7 years and yes, they're reasonably priced, but that's where the positives stop. You've been forewarned. read more

Found them on Yelp and was hesitant at first but the reviews convinced me to try them out. From JFK-Flushing, we got Xiang and his van. Got us there fast but was unfamiliar with our hotel and the one-way streets so had to take extra turns. Otherwise service was fast, Xiang was friendly and apologetic for the extra driving time. We got Chi as our second driver from Flushing to Pier38, and another ride from Flushing to Penn Station. Both rides were superb, he was very careful and courteous. Car was super clean! This car service is great! Always on time, and you get a courtesy call both from their shop and a text from the driver that they are either on their way or waiting outside. TRY THEM YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! read more

This is the only service I will use getting to and from the airport. They arrived 15 minutes early. The car was a comfortable SUV. The driver was nice and knew what he was doing. Zero stress. They only take cash which is fine. I overtipped because of the awesome service. Really happy I found these guys. If you want an easy airport pickup this is the way to go. Cheaper than lyft. read more

My wife and I needed a ride from the Lower East Side area to Laguardia Airport to catch a flight back to Florida. I called this place after reading the positive reviews on Yelp, and I must say I am a fan. Here is the quick conversation I had with Quick Ride Corp the day before. Me: Hi, I need a ride tomorrow from *** Street to Laguardia Airport. Quick Ride: What time? Me: 1pm Quick Ride: 1pm? Me: Yes Quick Ride: What address? Me: 100 ** Street Quick Ride: That will be $30, we will call this number when the cab is outside. Me: Great, thanks! The cab showed up about 5 minutes early, and I got a call from the main office not the cab itself. The cab was clean and the driver was very quiet. Would definitely go with them again. read more

Prices are usually 15-20% lower than Uber/Lyft for airport rides. But importantly, you are supporting local drivers instead of a corporation. Car always arrives early. Professional drivers who know their way around the city. Limited English and cash only. Have to call them ahead of time to book a ride. read more

Flew into Newark and whisked to Manhattan in less than 20 minutes. The speed (+'s): + Got in at 2 am and called upon landing. Operator available and speaks great English. Got clear instructions to call again as soon as I could locate my waiting area. + Operator received my second call and confirmed the Lexus and license plate I would be riding. + Driver appeared within the minute from hanging up with my dispatcher. + Driver dumped me in Manhattan and was appreciative of my tip. Cost me $40 + 13 Holland Tunnel or $53. With tip I gave him $63. The drag (-'s): - None to note. TIP: Book in advance and call again to confirm reservation before leaving. Great service if you are getting into Newark at odd hours when none of the cheaper modes of transportation into Manhattan are available. read more

Inexpensive. That's where the positive stopped. When I initially made the reservation, I was told that they had my phone number since they could see where I was calling from. I call back near the time they said they would call, which they didn't. The girl tells me that they didn't take down my phone number. I tell her I was told that my number was taken down, how come you guys don't have it? She gets an attitude and says that she had other people who are also coming from JFK. Well, no $#!+... Lame excuse. Don't tell your customers you have their phone number if you don't take the responsibility to keep it in your possession. Bad business move... Makes you look sloppy and unreliable. Car comes. Stops in the middle of the road of the passenger pickup at JFK. Doesn't go to the curb or to the side so that we aren't amidst ALL the passenger pick up traffic. ***sigh*** So let's not have attitude ever again for me confronting you for an error on your part, ok? Because the whole experience was quite frankly a bunch of errors. read more

Answered at a sleepy 2am, first in Chinese then to respond to my English in pitch perfect Amurrikans, assured a sparkling whip at my location in exactly 6.5 hours. Not before warning thrice that it's cash only and tolls would be added on. Sho nuff, at 8:29 ante meridiem, a oil slick black sedan rolls up to my corner with a Quick Ride sign waving out the window. I load up the bag and off we go to JFK! Knowing there'd be a $7 toll charge, the driver asked if I wanted to take the midtown tunnel. Didn't just assume, and I dig that. Back seat was spotless, no peculiar odors and my Jeeves-for-the-morning was polite in his silence. This is the kind of business Yelp is essential for - with nary a whisper online to prove it exists, I'd have spent an extra 20% on a lesser ride in a potentially reckless taxi. Quick Ride is the jam for town-to-port livery. Trust. read more

For over 8 years I have traveled to NY twice a year, have used Quick Ride as my airport pick up and drop off, and have never had any problem with them. Super easy to make and confirm a reservation, and they have always arrived on time and are easy to spot at a crowded JFK airport. Their fare is comparable to other ground transportation options but I prefer to use Quick Ride based on my positive experiences over the years. I highly recommend them for your ground transportation needs. read more

Called two days before for transport from Hotel to JFK and they were very nice on the phone and gave me a quote. I called earlier same day for pick up to confirm and they were very friendly and confirmed the address, time, and location of pickup. They were on time and called me when they got there and told me what type of car it was and the number of the car which was helpful to find. The driver helped with my luggage and was very friendly and even offered to slow down when driving so I could take pics off the bridge. He drove safely and got to the airport on time and took me right to my terminal entrance. I definitely recommend this company for transportation and will use them again if I am ever in the NY area. read more

I am super impressed. Having been dissapointed with Carmel and annoyed at long lines at the cab stop at JFK, I did a quick search and found this on yelp via google search. $36 was quoted (included Toll and tax etc) from Financial District to JFK. Took them both to and from the Airport. They were early and even when my flight was delayed on the way back, they had no issues and were great service 100%. Drivers were friendly and easy going and were good at just quick small talk and were fine if we didn't want to have a conversation considering I was coming back from 25 hours of travel time from Asia. I am really glad I found them and will be using them frequently from now on. read more

Spot on best ride to the airport outside of taking a helicopter. Timely, professional, attentive, courteous...the whole bit. Best value.

Called for pick up day before Christmas. They were 15 min early for pick up. Very quick/smooth ride to JFK. Large SUV was plenty room for 2 ppl plus our luggage. Very polite driver who played Xmas tunes. Total cost was $58 (base price + toll fees) plus tip. Very competitive price with Uber. I would use again. read more

I gave them another chance and again and again. They did good both times. I will keep everyone posted but hopefully they keep getting better! They have been awesome. My last review was months ago. I have used them a few more times and really can say they are great. Last time I had Lee- He has a Hyundai with heated back seats......what???!! Awesome! read more

Call them... For an ok ride. But don't count on them. Can be late and their dispatch customer service is suspect. More about churning out rides so it's a quantity over quality shop. It's a good ride for your money and provides good coverage to lower manhattan. read more

Super speedy! Decided at the last minute I wanted to cab it to LGA the morning of my flight, and as luck would have it, a car was available for my requested pick-up time in just 30 min. VERY fast and friendly phone operator and driver. The operator called me to let me know my car (labeled w/ a #), was downstairs 10 min early. I didn't see it when I got downstairs, so either they were late, or they drove off because I was. Either way, I only had to call and the car was there 2 minutes later. It was a clean, black Honda SUV with leather seating that new car smell. Aaaaand it got me to the airport in HALF the estimated time calculated via HopStop, and at just 75% of regular fare. Win!! Cash only. I paid only $30 + tip. Update: I've just learned that GoGreenRide's flat rate to LGA costs just a little more, so maybe for reliability and extra amenities, I'll consider GGR in the future, as well. read more

First time used them. I reserved round trips from LGA to Our hotel. When you make reservation, they go by your phone number instead of your name which I thought as efficient. Both of the drivers had a nice clean cars( Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander), smooth rides. They drove safely which I really appreciated of since I have two kids under 13. Both of the drivers hardly said words which was fine with me as long as we felt safe in the car. One draw back is they only take cash, but it is worth paying in cash when you think about the lower cost, clean spacious cars, safe drivers. My sister ended up using this company, and said their driver was pretty friendly and safe driver. I would use them again when I come to NYC. My sister also ended up using this company and liked them. read more

Quick Ride? How about NO RIDE! Had to spend an extra $50 on a last minute UBER to Newark since they got my address wrong. Just terrible. Add a star if you speak Chinese but I wouldn't risk it again. I repeated my address several times but to no avail. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! read more

Scheduling a ride was really quick and easy. The dispatch operator will provide a cash price (cash only) for the ride and at the time of pickup, will call you with the vehicle information. The vehicles are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The drivers are courteous and very helpful with luggage. Don't forget to show your appreciation with a tip. I usually call a day before to schedule the ride but they have also been reliable and on time when I've called them an hour before boarding my flight for last minute arrangements. Highly recommended because they are MUCH cheaper than Uber/Lyft for transportation to and from airports. read more

Quick Ride is definitely a great find in the world of airport transportation. Since I'd read up on Yelper reviews, the brevity of my reservation call didn't surprise me at all. The only reason why this isn't a 5-star review is that we were about 30-40 minutes late getting picked up when we arrived in New Jersey. When I called them back as instructed to let them know we have our bags, the girl told me she would call me back and let me know where the driver was. When she called back, I was informed that my driver was involved in a car accident and that they're sending out another car and it would take 30 minutes. Bummer! However, when we got picked up by another person (towncar), he wasn't aware of any car accidents and that they told him just a few minutes ago he had to pick up us. When he realized what we were told, he quickly tried to cover up and plead ignorance. Our driver was super friendly and tried to make as much conversation as our sleep-addled brains would allow (this was at 7am). On our return trip, also to NJ, our driver was 5 minutes early, had a nice clean and spacious minivan and insisted on handling all the luggage by himself. He too was very talkative, giving us a mini-tour speech of the portion of NJ we were speeding by to get to the airport. We encountered almost no traffic and arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare. This will for sure be a staple in our phone books! The price is right too! read more

Very reasonable prices and reliable. You call the number, set a pickup, and that's it. Used this service after a Chinese colleague recommended it. The prices are easily 20% or so lower than other services or cab/uber. Cars are always clean and drivers courteous. And dispatch is very efficient. Have used this a couple of dozen times and have never been disappointed. Please note though that the dispatch/phone person will be quick and curt, so if you're used to the usually chatty American phone agents, you won't get that. But they do their job well. P.S. Forgot to mention that they're cash only. No card machines. read more

Car service has always been excellent. My go-to place for rides to the airport from the city. From downtown FiDi to LGA is about $30 and from FiDi to JFK is no more than $40. Cash only. Dispatcher has always been very organized and responsive when I've called. read more

Used this company to and from JFK airport. Going, my driver was early. Picking up from the airport, the driver was already on the premises but due to airport congestion that was out of his control, I had to wait a little bit. He called so I knew he was there and gave me a spot to wait for him. The drivers are all very nice. Work highly recommend over cab apps. read more

Great service, I've used them twice. Arrived 15 mins early with a call that they were outside but waited for me no problem. $60+$10 bridge toll ($100-130 on mainstream app services at that time) read more

Used Quick Ride to get into the City from EWR on my most recent trip. They quoted me $48 + tolls over the phone which seemed to be pretty good. We had some trouble finding him as he only had a tiny sign on the passenger window - most of the other car services had big signs on the front window which are easier to see. Also, they don't ask for your name -- just your phone # so we had to look for him instead of him looking for us which was a smidge annoying. Also, our driver was very nice but spoke very little English which was a bit of a bummer as my friend had never been to NYC and was asking questions about things which he couldn't answer cuz of his limited English. All in all it was fine though.. clean car, good driving, and price was reasonable. I'd use them again if it was just me but might be better off to pay a little more if it's your first trip to the City. I know the drivers aren't tour guides but it is nicer when you can communicate with them. read more
