Absolutely terrible. I'm trying not to get even more upset because I feel this is a waste of my time having to put out this review. I've been waiting for a taxi for the past 2 hours. THEY'RE SO UNRELIABLE!!! MY FIRST AND LAST TIME EVER USING THIS COMPANY AGAIN!!!

So like many others one here we did NOT have a good experience with this company from the representative that was unaccommodating and to the drive that almost side swiped three other vehicles. For 6 adults traveling internationally with 6 big suits cases and a luggage we were in a navigator. Two suit cases in the front seat that impaired the drives view (hence the three close calls) with all of our Carry one at our fee. Driver repeatedly asked for directions which was strange considering was are In the 21st century GPS should be available. Also the gentlemen was a nice man but could not lift our

I had ten employees and two of their spouses staying at the Long Island Marriot on long term assignments. When their stay was over I looked for a shuttle service to pick them up there and take them to JFK in time for a 6:00AM flight. I was concerned because I would not be there to ensure that the pickup was made and that we could do an alternate method to get to the airport if necessary. Made one phone call to Winston and was assured that they would be picked up in plenty of time to make their flight. I was a little concerned about the negative reviews on Yelp, but after reviewing multiple other

If there was a minus star , I would choose that. In February, my husband and I traveled from our home in Medford to Islip Mac Arthur Airport. Upon return on Feb 18 2020, our pick up was set for 10:50 pm. No one showed up!! Said their car had a dead battery!! After being told they were " doing their best." waiting until midnight, we finally took a local cab home. $25.00 with tip!! Been waiting for a $78.00, refund from Winston. Many phone calls and much bullsh@$ later, as of today, no credit has been issued. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY... EVER!!!

I was ready to be picked up at 5:07 and didn't get picked up until 6:30. Then went to a food court for another half an hour waiting for another passenger. Driver got a call that he had to go to LaGuardia I was at JFK to get someone else. It took me 3 1/2 hours to get home almost as long as my flight. Don't mind sharing a ride but not waiting 1 1/2 hours to first get picked up and then waiting at a food court and then a different airport. This totally ended my vacation terribly. The driver was very apologetic . never again

I realized on my way to work on Christmas Eve my Sedans front passenger side tire was completely flat by the time I reached my new delivery job that I started 3 days ago in Medford. I was Blessed to find Steve of Winston Airport Shuttle (Transportation) in less than a few minutes. Just in time I noticed he pulled into the parking lot and he professionally replaced my tire in less than a half hour.

Because of his kind heartedness, I was able to go back to work within that same hour. I will forever remember that morning the day before Christmas. I was Thankful I was able to save time, money and energy

Company deserves negative stars. Had an experience like many others on here. Driver was nearly 2 hours late picking up from JFK then went to LaGuardia and waited another hour and a half for another passenger, ( did I mention it was supposed to be a private booking?) then went back to JFK to pickup another passenger. I could have walked home quicker. Called dispatcher who yelled at me and told me to get out of his vehicle while we were driving down Belt Pkwy. This place is the worst! Well never use them again and I advise no one else use them either.
