R&G Henry LIMO

Unfortunately, I let the pressure of this guy, Richard, hollering at me, persuade me into getting into his car. Just getting off a long red-​eye flight. Ordinary car by the way, not a limo.
Right away I asked how much it would cost from JFK to Soho. He was very reluctant to give me a price. Wouldn’t even give me an estimate. Finally, Richard says the starting point was $ 75 ($ 15 more than taxis flat rate of $ 60), and that was just a starting point! I got a lot of run around about toll fees and what not. It was a very uncomfortable (and LONG) ride, because I knew this guy was taking advantage of the situation.
At the end of the ride he says”$ 68″ … Fine, I pull out my card. «oh, I’ll have to charge you a tax of $ 10 if you use a card». The thing is, I told him I would be using a card at the beginning of the ride so why did he not disclose this supposed tax charge then!
And the kicker, Richard claims to be an Über driver. «we are a serious business, not overcharging, we are Über, the biggest car service» blah blah blah. ‘No, you are not an Über driver, you are a scammer.’

If I could choose Negative Stars, I would.
I called to set up a reservation, confirmed with the owner a 10:00pm pick up… found out 90 minutes later that they wouldn’t be able to confirm a pick up until after 1:30am.
I spoke w/​the owner Harry, who was drunk at a restaurant, and not apologetic at all. He emailed me shortly after telling me that I should have Mapped Out what I needed 1^st, before calling him. Ummm, what kind of limo company does that?
Terrible Service. Save yourself the trouble and call a real limo company… Not some bootleg company out of BK.

Taking Car Service to Whole New Level…
This is how to roll; in the Mercedes Benz Sprinter complete with flat screen TV and airplane seating. I haven’t tried them out yet, but I got a card from the owner when he had it parked in Williamsburg. I’ve seen a lot of these in Los Angeles, but this is the first one I’ve seen here in Brooklyn. Can’t wait to try them!
Surprisingly decent rates:
