How we ranked

We compared each company only on what it publishes on its own website, checked November 8, 2026. Where a company does not publish something, we say so rather than guess. The criteria, in order of weight:

1. Price transparency — whether the price you see includes taxes, tolls and fees.
2. Airport waiting included — how long the car waits after landing before extra charges.
3. Coverage — the boroughs, suburbs, states and airports served.
4. Published rates and minimums — whether hourly rates and example fares are public.
5. Fleet range and track record — vehicle choice, licensing and years in business.

The bottom line

• For Long Island, the Hamptons and every nearby airport: True North VIP.
• For Republic Airport and clear booking terms: Black Car NYC.
• For an established local fleet: Dial 7.
