Carmel Car & Limousine Service has been a trusted New York City ground transportation option since 1978, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across all five boroughs and beyond. The service is particularly well-regarded among NYC families as a reliable choice for the hospital discharge ride home with a newborn.
Carmel does not provide car seats — parents must bring and install their own infant seat. Drivers are known for being patient and willing to wait during installation, and may even offer to assist. Carmel recommends calling ahead to give your driver a heads-up about your car seat needs. Note that drivers may decline a trip if safety cannot be properly accommodated.
The fleet includes sedans, minivans, SUVs, stretch limousines, passenger vans, Sprinters, and buses. Booking is available by phone, through the Carmel mobile app, or on their website — advance booking is strongly recommended for hospital pickups. An adult must accompany all passengers under 18 years of age. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available.
