Arecibo Car Service

Arecibo Car Service is a Park Slope-based car service that has become a go-to option for Brooklyn and Manhattan families needing reliable airport transportation. Operating 24/7 with flat-rate pricing, Arecibo serves JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), Newark (EWR), MacArthur, and Teterboro airports with no surge pricing.

What sets Arecibo apart for families is its availability of child car seats for infants, toddlers, and booster-age kids — a rarity among NYC car services. Car seats carry a $10 surcharge per seat, and minivan or SUV upgrades add $20. Reservations must be made in advance — ideally at least 24 hours ahead — especially if you need multiple car seats.

Important parent caveat: Car seats are not guaranteed without explicit advance confirmation. Multiple parents have reported drivers arriving without the requested seat. Always call to confirm the car seat is noted on your specific booking, not just your account. When in doubt, bring your own seat. Arecibo's own FAQ acknowledges that for-hire vehicles in New York State are legally exempt from child car seat laws, but recommends parents bring their own seat if uncertain. Cancellation requires 2 hours' notice for Manhattan pickups and 3 hours for pickups outside Manhattan.
