Hoyt Limo & Service

left the car midtrip, the driver was awful! he refused to take a particular route, and was very rude. #12
the office staff, over the phone were very nice.

My favorite car service. I recommend it to all my friends and family. Fast, respectful, reliable. Never late and always there when I need them. Best prices around! I can’t complain.

I still love Hoyt! If you have a pet they will happily take you to and fro. Very nice drivers. Mostly punctual. Fare price.

dependable, relianale service.

They always come very fast to pick you up and for the most part reliable. But cars are old and sometimes it smells inside. They are also reluctant to turn on A/​C.

Good rates, fast arrivals, and nice drivers

I used Hoyt car and limo service based on a positive review that had been left by a recent newlywed. Our service was anything but, it was HORRIBLE. We visited their car service base a week in advance and did the same as the other couple below. We provided them with a print out map/​address of our separate LIC hotels, passenger count, time, locations/​destinations (only had ONE stop) and asked for ONE hour total! We spent nearly 20 minutes waiting for them to input this and I kid you not the man, Napo, asked us to repeat/​clarify our directions AT LEAST 8 times. Finally, when he had it all right he confirmed the types of cars (SUVS) we’d receive and assured me multiple times that everything would run smoothly. He repeated back and confirmed everything when he actually managed to finally get it right. The day of was ANYTHING BUT SMOOTH, IT WAS DISASTROUS. I had the girls call and confirm both cars 30 minutes before the scheduled arrival and they had no idea what we were talking about. Now you can imagine how explaining THAT again was like! My sister told them it was for my wedding and that we needed SUVs due to the # of people for each car… ((DRUM ROLL PLEASE)) THEY SEND US A TOYOTA CAMRY!!! SERIOUSLY??? with my big wedding dress we actually stuffed 5 people in the car… because they had already showed up late and all. Then the driver has the audacity to question the validity to our original booking and quoted price. He gets in touch with the base and after we get back from photos, he says they had yet to give him an answer. He ends up charging us $ 45 based on this less than an hour trip AND even though we were stuffed into this small sedan!!! The boys ended up getting the SUV though. Ugh, will NEVER use them again… first and LAST time. I grew up in Astoria and only used this company based on that recent wedding review below. Otherwise, I would have gone with one of the other two companies I normally use. Awful, awful service!!!

I used Hoyt to hire three cars (one town car, two SUVs/​Mini-​vans) for two-​hours each to drive my wedding party around Queens for photos and to get from the church on 31^st Ave to the Beer Garden on 24^th Ave. They were absolutely phenomenal. I made the reservation at their «office» on Astoria Blvd. because it was such an important event. They gave me a reservation confirmation, and quoted me $ 35/​hr for the town car and $ 45/​hour for the SUV and Mini-​Van. The prices were IMMENSELY better than the fancy limo services you find online (which were quoting something like $ 75/​hour for cars and more for bigger vehicles), and the quality of the vehicles was great. The car was not, you know, the fanciest thing in the world, but it was a clean, classy Lincoln Town Car and the GMC SUV and Toyota Mini-​Van were new and clean and excellent. The cars arrived early and were patient when my group was severely delayed. They drove us to our destinations without any problems (I gave them little Google Maps printouts with the order of stops to make things easier, they appreciated it). I was so impressed. I felt like I was taking a gamble on a local queens car service for my wedding, but Hoyt came through and passed with flying colors. They were fantastic. I’m going to call them instead of using Über to get around Queens from now on. They are affordable, and have quality drivers and vehicles. I can’t say enough nice things about them.

Hoyt always shows up at exactly the time I’ve requested them, which is the reason that I’m loyal. Their cars are mostly clean, the drivers are usually friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

I’ve been using Hoyt Limo for years as my go-​to airport transfer, and for friends after a late night dinner leaving my place in Astoria. I always have prompt, efficient and kind service from these guys. Thanks!

I took Hoyt round trip to JFK airport from Astoria. They showed up right on time at 9:00 to pick me up as I scheduled the night before. When I arrived I called them for a pickup and they showed up pretty quickly. They speak Spanish and English. The price was $ 32 going there and $ 35 coming back. I asked the driver if tip was included and he said its a flat rate but they do take tips if customer wants to give so I did tip driver on way back. He was very friendly and helped with my bags. I’ll definitely use them again as they go anywhere in Manhattan and based in Astoria. They have over 100 black cars from what driver said and pick up anywhere within the city! Fast, reliable, affordable service better than über and yellow can pricing!

Love Hoyt! Great car service in Astoria for a fantastic price.
I’ve used it multiple times and they are always there within 5 minutes, like they say they will be.
Every driver I have gotten is friendly.
Flat Rate from Astoria to JFK is $ 35. Not sure if that has changed, but that’s a great price!
Try to pay with cash. It’s a $ 2 surcharge if you use a card.

Yeah woah I was waiting for the driver and he tried to signal he was my cab by smacking his lips at me like I was some kind of prostitute. Ace work there champs

I’ve used Hoyt regularly for the past 3 years I’ve lived in Astoria. They’re brusque on the phone but the drivers are friendly and their rates are reasonable. I see a lot of people complaining in their reviews about them being 2 – 3 minutes late, and yes: that is sometimes in case. So ask them to get there 5 minutes before you need them. duh.

I have been using hoyt for the past 3 years and they have never let me down. I use them when I need to go to the airport or even cross boros. When going to the airport, they are always 5 min early and when traveling boro to boro you can call and within 5 – 10 minutes they are there.
LOVE THEM!

My usual reliable car service called me last night to tell me the van that had been scheduled to take me, my suitcases, and my large dog kennel to LaGuardia had just been wrecked. So at 9pm the night before my 4:45am pickup, I’m scrambling around looking for cars.
I find Hoyt on Unilocal and the reviews are reasonable, rates moreso. But I’m nervous as I have almost no room for error in my plans. I schedule the pickup for 4:45am.
No call to let me know someone’s on their way.
4:45am comes and goes. No car, no call.
4:50: I call, ask where my car is. «2 minutes.» I don’t HAVE two minutes, but I have fewer options than I have time.
4:55: Driver pulls up, helps me load, then tells me he has no idea where he’s going. The dispatcher told me they knew where the cargo office was. Nope.
5:25: We arrive 25 minutes later than I’d expected. I ask if he’ll wait and then take me to the terminal. He tells me it’ll be an extra $ 10.
And then, on the way to the terminal, he tells me it’s actually an extra $ 20. Given that the reason he had to wait on me so long was because he was 15 minutes late picking me up didn’t matter, apparently.
Because he helped me get the kennel (with Henry inside) into and out of the car, I’m giving an extra star. But I will never use this car service again.

For a ride from Astoria Boulevard to LGA, the operator quoted me $ 15. $ 1 more than than the last time (2 weeks ago) we used Hoyt Limo. This was a bit annoying. The operator sighed and said okay to $ 14.
The driver was friendly and the car was clean.
I could not ask for a better driver, but the operations need some work and consistency.

Hoyt is the only car service I’ll use.
Been a customer for 5 years and never had any issues.
The cars are clean, they are VERY quick, and the drivers are professional and courteous.
The dispatch is a little abrupt, but they get my car to me on time.
Pricing is fair-​competitive, and usually cheaper than a yellow cab.
Definitely keep their number in your phone and give them a call!

I wanna give this place zero stars. Called to set up a reservation last night around 9:30pm for a 5:20am pick up to LGA. Took about ten years to get the guy to say the correct address (and even then, I wasn’t sure if he got it). The communication was difficult but we got through it and I tried my best to double and triple check the info before hanging up.
I called at 5:10am to check in and see if the car was on its way and it just rang and rang. Did that twice and on the third time (5:18, 2 minutes before pickup) I finally got through to the dude. He again said the address wrong a hundred times and had no recollection of speaking to me, nor did he have any reservation with that info. I basically hung up as he was trying to make plans to never come get me and caught a cab on the street within seconds. This company is crap. :)
