welshrich Posted April 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hello Does anyone know if Uber will take me from midtown NYC to Bayonne for a cruise? If not, can anyone advise how much a taxi would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted April 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I would think so, but it would still be pricy. Don't take a taxi, even if you find one that will take you. A car service is probably your best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted April 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Uber will charge you whatever they please, and don't take a taxi because they don't have to take you to Bayonne. If a taxi driver is willing to they're likely to try to extract an outrageously high fare for doing so. As already mentioned, your best bet is to book a car service, which will quote a fixed fare, to which you will have to add tolls and tip. Dial 7 and Carmel Limo are two of NY City's biggest car services, and many Cruise Critic posters have been satisfied users of one or the other. If you search on the internet you may be able to find coupons for them that will save you a few dollars. Base fare for a sedan for two passengers should be in the $50 to $60 range, plus tolls of $15 to $20, plus tip of $10 - $12. Figure about $75 to $90 in total...the final amount could be slightly higher or lower. Edited April 24, 2016 by njhorseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baileymouse Posted April 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I agree with the other posters. You don't want to take a taxi, get a set price from a car service. Uber can get pricey from Manhattan because they always seem to be up to premium rates. It's better to lock in something in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted April 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Ditto! You want a car service that actually knows where Cape Liberty is and the best way to get there without relying on GPS! Edited April 24, 2016 by 138east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserking Posted April 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Carmel Limo is terrific, I use them all the time. They are extremely reliable and reasonably priced. I believe the rate from midtown Manhattan to Bayonne is around $60. 212 666-6666 Jonathan Edited April 26, 2016 by cruiserking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
