Taxi Car Services: Brooklyn & NYC

NYC is FULL of Private taxi car services, in Brooklyn they are a fast inexpensive way to get around. We have several companies we use 24 hours a day for local trips in Brooklyn, or Airport trips. 

Call our favorite driver " Mamadu" to arrange a pick up and price: tel:1-917-754-1133

Call Pratt Car Service: 1-718-789-4900
Evelyn Car Service at 1-718-230-8244
You call the car service companies and they come to the door in 5-10 minutes. 
FOR AIRPORTS OR ARRIVALS MAKE ADVANCED RESERVATION. 
You can also wave/flag them down on the main streets of Brooklyn. 
They often drive Town car sedans in Black, Grey, Silver, & White. Some are old and some are luxury. They do not have meters so you ask them for the price to your destination in advance for a flat fee. Minimum rates are $6-7 and up. rices are about the same as yellow taxis.

Yellow Taxis: Manhattan

Picture
Ahhhhh, NYC Yellow Taxis! Famous for many things: CRAZY drivers, Angry drivers & taking people for rides around long distances to get higher fares! It is not ALL true, BUT they do mainly stay in Manhattan and therefore often do NOT know the Brooklyn side streets. We give you a local map with streets for you to carry in case you take a yellow taxi back at night. From lower Manhattan to the guest house costs are about $10-$15 only.
