Spartan Limousine Svce

They’ve been around for ages and the drivers know what they are doing.
(Let me say that I’ve had issues with the new local competing service – for example: wrong airport, malfunctioning A/​C, overly chatty inexperienced drivers, etc.)
Spartan is far superior. Only you can’t book a ride online. Otherwise perfect! And less expensive!

Call Spartan — we’ve been using Spartan since the 1970’s, no lie. Trustworthy. They always show up, cars are clean, drivers are friendly, they know the area. Only very occasionally you share the limo (car) with someone else, but usually not. They really know Long Island.

This was an excellent driving service. The driver was friendly and he kept his eyes on the road and ignored calls when his cell phone wrung. And I got from my house to JFK airport in less than an hour.

Overall, the service is fine and probably the best you will find around the area. The limo will be mostly on-​time with a few rare exceptions but let’s speak of the service experience from begin to end.
First the call: you will be likely received by a person with a rough approach to service (don’t expect empathy, thanks or even good morning). The call will and reservation will be completed in less than 5 mnts however so scheduling will be efficient but be ready for answering the question of when you want to be at the airport. If they cannot schedule you, do not expect any deep sorry or alternatives (the phone was hanged on me once even).
Pick-​up at the airport will usually end-​up with the driver calling your cell phone (no waiting at the airport with a sign with your name on it here). If your cell phone is out of service, you are out of luck but you can always call back the number and tell where to pick you up (they would not let a customer unattended). The driver’s attention is very un-​eaven. Some will show some friendliness and care for you (carrying your bag, holding conversation if you feel like it, very professional) some not (do it yourself, rude, not understanding that after a long flight you may not be all up on your best and roughing you up) and couple of them will be very chatty with much TMI. Eclectic would be the word.
They will be there on time for picking you up but for the going, I had one experience when (as a shared ride), the driver went to pick someone else up … who decided that the best time to clean the fish tank was about the time they needed to leave: 40 mnts later, I was in panic mode and did not miss my flight ONLY because I had one of those frequently flyer card with priority 1 (pass through no waiting lines). So, be aware — you have been warned. Albeit this was not the driver’s fault, the reason is that if there are people leaving close in time, they bundle to form a shared ride and you may get into situations like these. But you may ask for a private limo (if they have it). The limos are otherwise all clean from what I could experience and I have had no other problems.
