Bad experience, allow time

1.00Arrived at terminal 4, called to advised and had to wait 45 minutes to be collected, greeted by an extremely grumpy driver who didn’t keep us up to date after we drove around the terminals for 2 hours!!! To top it off, two hours later at the last pick up we ended up going all the way back to terminal 4 to collect other people… the logic is ridiculous and the driver didn’t communicate at all, could tell he hated his job… landed at 11:15, got to Manhattan at 3:30! Rubbish

2.00When I arrived at the airport, no one was there that was there so I asked airport employees and no one had an idea. I called the Go Aerolink Hotline and the person told me they never received my order from Viator so they had take me wait another 45 min so a driver can make a new pickup. I was furious and had to wait. I do not recommend.

1.00We booked ahead of time for a pickup at 1:30PM from JFK. Driver is supposed to inform their arrival and meet passengers at a certain location. Our driver was not on tine. We waited until 3PM and ended up calling for a driver ourselves. They did in fact forget about our reservation.
Unreliable and Slow

5.00You wait inside at a designated area for the van to arrive. It takes awhile to get to your hotel but worth it for 1 or 2 people traveling together.
Disaster

2.00This experience was awful from start to finish. Firstly our driver arrived later than we had been told to pick us up from the airport and take us to our hotel. He had absolutely no respect for our luggage, this resulted in one of our cars being broken…they were just through on top of each other and then recklessly pulled out at our stop. He proceeded to pick up passengers that were to be collected after we had all been dropped off. This was to ‘save him time’. We had landed in JFK Airport at 1:30pm, collected at 2:30pm but didn’t at our hotel until 5 pm. What should have been an exciting start to our holiday ended up miserable.
Not recommending this. An service
