New Golden Horse Car & Limo Service has been around for 25+ years, started out & is still Flushing, NY (Queens based) and we do use them as our local / neighborhood & airport services. Drivers are (nearly) all Chinese & most do speak English well enough to communicate with non-Chinese on destination & fares, etc. http://www.car8888.com/carinfo.html It's possible to email them & request a fare quote, no personal experience lately. See some of the reviews & comments about them on Yelp - mostly positive & good, just caution about delays & no cars available due to weather - but they do go practically everywhere. Fleet of 120 Lincoln towncars (mostly) and minivans (Toyota & Honda, usually) for bigger pax & luggage capacity, typically GPS Nav equipped - call for airport pickup upon landing with all luggages (if checked) & it usually dispatch a car to meet outside by the curb in 10 to 20 minutes.

For FT's - if you are in Queens or Brooklyn, near the Chinatowns and/or JFK or LGA, and need to check out alternatives to Dial7 and/or Carmel, do give them a chance - their prices will most likely be similar to/match that of Carmel, but lower than Dial7. No online or promo coupons or discounts that I know of. Getting a car from JFK & LGA at peak time might be more challenging and Carmel would most likely be faster & more reliable being on-time and drivers not getting lost with direction. We booked them once to the cruise terminal/pier and driver was lost in our NE Queens neighborhood and 30 minutes late, thank goddness we planned extra time/cushion in scheduling our pickup - GPS has limitations when drivers relied 100% on it and then try to take shortcuts, Queens & Brooklyn (and Bronx/SI) isn't a neat rectagonal grids of streets & avenues.

With all the recent winter weather & snow on the grounds of NYC area, I would bookmark them as a backup as we've tend to call and book directly with Carmel ourselves lately.

Brocklee900's flight is inbound so let's see his feedback & what he's going to be doing for his transport to CPW later this morning. Light snow heading our way again, a fast clipper - dang those groundhogs' prediction.
