The schedules online are quite confusing but Matt, at the main number was so very helpful and patient explaining the routes and fares and how pick ups/drop offs worked. The drivers are polite and friendly in kind. The seats aren't very comfortable but it's a heck of a lot better than walking.

There is something to be said about a family owned and operated business that you just cannot get…read morefrom a corporate run business: flexibility, polite manners and reliability. It's their business, their reputation on the line. I was looking for a car service last minute, the night before my flight yesterday, to take me from La Guardia to a friend's home 1 1/2 hrs away in Montgomery. I called CAR24. Mike was super prompt in returning my text at 11:00pm, assured me he had availability and we'd touch base in the morning. True to his word, we booked the car in the morning and he gave me a very competitive rate. Didn't tack on last minute fees. Done, texted confirmation number. Gave me name of my driver, Allison, who touched base 5 min later with her cell number. Super prompt, funny and friendly, riding with Allison was a pleasure. A key thing to note: take your cues from the client. She didn't start chatting until I did. I'm from New Orleans and work in the hospitality industry there, handling conventions with 10,000-30,000 in attendance. I book about 250 private car service for clients a year. There are a few key things that are expected from a private car service that are unbendable: reliability, communication, cleanliness and polite manners in drivers, who understand it's not about them it's about the client. Likewise from a client: tip the driver and tip in cash. If you get good service, show it by tipping more than 20% of the fare. In our industry, there is nothing worse than a rude passenger and a bad tipper. Home run for CAR24. Allison even stopped at CVS so I could run in and grab something. Thank you!!! MaryBeth

They are very reliable. It was great service with a smile. It was a smooth ride in both directions.read more

I loved riding the train into the city. Boarding was a breeze and the station was nice. The…read moreelectronic ticket dispensers are really easy to use too. On the train it was funny to see them punch our tickets, it was so old-school. The conductor was very friendly and the train was quite clean. Overall a good experience. My only disappointment was on the ride home, some kids snuck on the train and sat in a couple open seats where tickets had already been punched. They only rode for a couple of stops, but it was still quite dishonest. I feel like there should be a protocol for riders to take their tickets as they leave to keep this from being able to occur.

Yes and yes. It might not be the red carpet but sure beats the price. The plan to run…read moreBeacon/Newburgh bridge was the best decision and daring one. For just 1.50 and free parking you may leave the car in Newburgh side, take the ferry. It takes less than 15 mins to get to the other side of the bridge, directly stopping at the Beacon train station. The route: Start by walking under the Beacon train station to the parking lot. Take the stairs up to this mini park and hang a left there. Keep following that route until you reach the main entrance to the bridge. Ensure to stay on your left, as it hooks to the bridge on left. There's not much crossing the road. Maybe, some parking lots here and there but that's about it. For your safety, always be aware of your surroundings for cars as they drive b fairly fast. This is a about a mile to the bridge. On the bridge, it made me nervous. I couldn't help but look down to the river. You are running on a metal plates all the way through. This is very sturdy although, the shaking could be unnerving. Next time, I will take a bag with me. Across the bridge is about 2 miles, keep following the trail to exit the bridge and will take you directly on the road to Leroy Drive. This road doesn't have a pedestrian walk way but fairly safe other wise. Along this route, there are some homes that are historical to Newburgh. This road is another mile to get to the port or docking station. Don't forget to stop in to take a pic or have a beer. Some restaurants here have the view overlooking the bridge. Key note: Please be careful when parking your cars on the parking lot. Although, there's immense foot traffic, stay within those hours when the area is busy in Newburgh. Another safe way to do it is to park your car in Beacon lot, free on weekends. Take the ferry to Newburgh and run from there (opposite to what I did). On Saturdays, Beacon train station has a Farmer's market. It's very small but worth checking with free bands playing.

I could see it traveling farther and farther out when I looked on his Device Manager until I realized it was still on the train when it stopped in Dover. It was after business hours so I didn't know if there would be anyone there who could help. We'd already contacted lost and found. So I drove out there hoping to find someone. I drove to the deserted train yard. Knocked on some doors but nope, nobody there. Got back in my car and drove around a bit more until I saw someone about to leave in one of those small security vehicles. The only person in the area. He stopped and I told him what train he'd been on and that I saw it wasn't going out again that night and asked if there was a way to look on the train. He said he'd go up to see what track it was on and would go through the train but when he came down he had my son's phone! I'm forever grateful to this lovely man! I hope NJ Transit appreciates the care he takes in his job. Give this guy a promotion!
