New Relampago Car Sve Corporation

Perfectly fine cab experience. My girlfriend and I were looking for a service in Williamsburg that could take us quickly to LaGuardia, and decided on this new one. They took a little longer to pick us up than we expected, but the driver was very friendly and helped us with all of our heavy bags (in the pouring rain no less). Even with traffic, we managed to get to the airport in twenty minutes. Check about their rates before going, though, because the driver ended up charging us a few extra bucks for the ride. Still overall, a much different experience than that of the previous reviewer. Recommended for Greenpoint/​Williamsburgers.

So, I’m bummed to be writing this review, because I actually used these guys for quite some time without incident, and at a reasonable price. However, my last two experiences have ensured that I will never call them again.
My boyfriend and I called them, and the came to our building promptly. We opened the door of the minivan to find that the seats were completely broken, as in the backs of the seats were not at a 90 degree angle, but more like a 150 degree. We had to lean on our arms just to stay vaguely upright. Why we didn’t just abandon this cab immediately, I don’t know. I guess we were in a hurry.
We start driving, and it quickly becomes apparent that this guy is a lousy driver; he accelerates too fast and then slams on the brakes. He veers onto the Williamsburg Bridge, and we realize he is taking us to 15^th Street in Manhattan, rather to our destination on 15^th Street in Park Slope. We tell him to stop, which he does, but he can’t back up because his transmission is apparently broken. So we go OVER THE BRIDGE and all the way down Delancey to Bowery, before we finally are able to turn around, and go back over the Bridge. He then takes us on the BQE, where we almost rear end, not one, but two cars, within a 6 or 7 minute drive.
He then gets off the BQE at the wrong exit and we drive for f-​ing ever through Brooklyn before we finally get there. We open our wallets with no plan to tip him, but surprise! He has no change. So we give this maniac $ 20 for what should have been a $ 0 cab ride.
The time before that, I called these guys to take me into Manhattan for a meeting. They sent a driver who I sincerely doubt was 18, and if he was, seemed never to have driven into the city before. It took forever, because he didn’t know which streets went which way. He was very nervous, and I felt unsafe the whole time.
So yeah, even though Northside is a pain, I’d stick with them.
