Save it: Cheap(er) Brighton Car Services

Sorry for the long delay in postings, but we have been on a serious mission in Brighton that will be revealed in the next few weeks...and some of us have been slacking off at the beach with this amazing weather! Anyhow, down to business: we recently surveyed our network of fellow Brightonites (I think that may be a completely new word) to find out what car services they use to get to and fro in this neck of the woods. We have found that these car services are far more reliable and cost effective than many of the others in the area. The best part is that these companies will take you almost anywhere in NYC and at a fraction of what you spend at places like Dial 7. We have used these services for traveling into the city, to JFK, or for returning after a long night of debauchery and not wanting to risk falling asleep on the train. The rates to/from Manhattan from deep Brooklyn are about $30-35, while airport rides from Brighton are only about $25.

You don't have live in Brooklyn to take advantage of these cheaper services though. If you call the dispatchers will usually do pickups all over the city (however, we recommend planning ahead if you know when/where you want to be picked up). Essentially, we just wanted to share another way to get out to our hood. Feel free to post any comments or recommendations for other car services if you have experience with them.

Happy travels and stay tuned.
