Malcom Limo Express

Do not use this company!!! they are so unprofessional I called on July 29^th at 10:30am for a cab and they said they had nothing??? and hung up the phone on me while I was still talking!! I walked outside and caught a malcom car on the street. The female dispatcher working that shift is a ratchet hood rat! anyone that has left a good review for this company is obviously not from Harlem… this is just a local around the way taxi company which I don’t expect great service form but I don’t expect to get hung up on!

I’d give them 10 stars if I could! I booked a ride for June 15^th to New Jersey airport at 0545 in morning, the dispatcher was so helpful & polite even wishing me a safe trip. My driver «Fode» car # 48 (I believe) called me the night before to confirm ride and showed up early the next morning. It was a very rainy morning and he drove safe and even got me there early! Fode helped me with my luggage and was so polite.
I will definitely use them every time I visit NY and suggest Malcolm to all my friends & family.
In this day of practically non-​existent Customer Service it is so refreshing to be treated with such care!

Great car service! Great drivers and great rates. Yup, that’s a lot of greats. When the shoe fits.
Know the address and cross streets of where you need a car to pick you up before you call.
Have the facts ready so the poor dispatcher doesnt have to tediously extract the deets for each of her approximately million calls per day :)

Ive used their service consistently to get to La Guardia from Upper Manhattan and I am a fan.
I usually call the day/​night before my flight and always am able to get a car. You call dispatch and they take down your information.
Day of my flight the car arrives and the driver calls you to let you know they are waiting outside. Ive always found every driver to be nice, professional, and help you with your bags. The cars are usually Lincoln Town cars (usually gold for some reason haha) and while they are not new they are kept in decent condition and clean.
They are very prompt! They usually arrive 5 minutes before or right the scheduled time.
I believe this is cash only! The prices are on par for what around a yellow cab is but they pick you up. It is a flat fee + tip. Ask dispatch for what the price will be. Cant beat that deal.

Excellent service! They have very good cars and my driver was very professional and respectful.

I’m sure this company is excellent and I was looking forward to using them but I called to make a reservation and found out that they do not take credit cards! I wonder how much money this company has lost because of this. This is not good business especially since car rides to JFK are over $ 100 round trip. I hope they take cards soon… I would love to use them!

I called on Sunday for Wednesday pick up from Newark. I was told to call when I had my luggage and they would send a car within 30 minutes. So I called upon arrival and was told that they had NO car that could pick me up. Terrible service and major attitude on the phone… it is New York.

Really great and reliable neighborhood operation. When I called around to other car services in the neighborhood, I quickly found out that they have the best prices, so started to use them. The drivers have always been on time or early whether I’ve made a reservation or called on the fly. I did have one bad situation where the driver didn’t know what terminal my airline was at, so just dropped me at one which turned out to be the wrong one. I immediately called Malcolm and the dispatcher took care of it right away sending him back to take me to the right place. The dispatchers are always professional and courteous.

I saw the reviews online and decided to call Malcolm Express. They don’t do reservations but if you call when you need them someone will come in three minutes. And it’s significantly cheaper than any other companies. If you live in Harlem or the Heights I would definitely recommend giving them a call!

After a long debacle with another car company in the middle of the night, only hours before my flight, i called Malcom Limo Express and spoke with a lovely dispatcher lady who was professional and fast. Making the reservation was easy, and they were right on time. The car was clean, the driver was professional, and we got to our destination (Newark Airport) at 6am without a hitch.
I just wanted to say an extra special THANK YOU FOR COMING THROUGH FOR US when all other car services scrambled, cancelled, or decided to screw over all of their customer reservations and not show up. This was in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and there was a major gas shortage, airports were diverting flights, and everything was a mess. The one thing in the Tri-​State area that had their stuff together was Malcom and their excellent drivers. We were more than happy to give our driver a big tip :)
Highly recommend, especially if you live in the UWS. I will be using these guys again!

Three days after Sandy every car, shuttle, and bus service in the city seems to be booked (or out of gas?). Lucky for me, Malcolm Limo picks up on the second ring and promises a car the next day. Huge relief. The driver called to confirm about 30 minutes in advance. He was punctual to a T and whisked me to La Guardia in record time: door to gate in under 45 minutes.
Minus one star because the dispatcher said they take card, but the driver said otherwise. I was quoted $ 28 and it turned out to be $ 30 plus tolls. Not a huge deal, but bring cash in case.

This car service is cheaper compare to other cars dispatchers. I compared two other cars services around my area when I called them to find out how much is it to take me from my location to City Hall. These were the prices Malcolm limo Express $ 23,New Day & Night Car service $ 25, Kennedy Radio Dispatcher $ 30.

They say 3 minutes, and they mean it! If they are there in 5 minutes, that’s late for them.
Car is always clean, driver is usually friendly, if not always familiar with where we’re going (to be fair, I’ve taken them to LGA, to brooklyn, to astoria, to south ferry, etc)
Bring Cash. Get a quote when you call for pickup. Have Fun.

My first friendly operator/​dispatcher after YEARS of using different car services in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Great drivers, nice cars, reasonable prices. Used them for drop off and pick up from Harlem to LaGuardia. Top notch, quality operation. Thank you, Malcom.

I needed to go to JFK airport and leave at 4am the night of St. Patrick’s Day (totally chose the wrong day to try and hail a cab). I had totally forgotten about the hordes of drunken people that would be trying to get a cab so I called ahead. I called at about 9:45pm and was helped immediately. Price was discussed (one-​way for $ 45 + tolls) and they even gave me the number of the car coming to pick me up. Best part was that when I woke up around 3:30am, the taxi cab was already waiting outside my building! Driver was courteous and efficient and I arrived at JFK with no problems.
This will be my go-​to company for any airport ride.

Called them at 10pm on a weeknight — they were there in literally 5 minutes. Helped load several suitcases. Stopped at an ATM of my choice because I didn’t have cash.
Drove from Harlem to Astoria for 30-​something dollars including tolls, which is way less than a yellow cab would have cost. Not 5 stars only because he kind of got lost in Queens, but since they gave me a flat price and no meter it didn’t matter.
Will use again!

I needed a car after Hurricane Irene when all of the subways were shut down. I looked on Unilocal & found Malcom Radio Group. Not only was the car there super fast, but the driver was friendly & efficient. In a disastrous time I had an awesome experience.

Update after service: car showed up on time (early, actually), car was clean, the driver was nice. He took us to JFK and missed the road to the terminal a few times but no big deal since we were early and Terminal 8 is kind of a weird ramp. I realized my passport was not in my purse before we left the apartment (turned out it was in the suitcase) and I had to make him wait 15 minutes while I searched everywhere for it. He charged us extra for that — not sure if that is a regular practice or not.

I needed to get a car to take me to a few places on Monday last week since it was too hot to run around. Since there aren’t many yellow cabs in the Harlem area, I thought it would be best to contact this place being so close to my apartment. I’m glad I called this service. I had to go to a few places on the UES and in Midtown West and I didn’t have much time to spare. I called Malcom and they sent a car to my apartment within a few minutes of calling. The driver was very professional and patiently waited as I went in and out doing errands. They charged by the hour ($ 40 per hour) rather than by mileage and I paid $ 36 including tip for my trip, which took about 45 minutes. I know a yellow cab would have been far more expensive to take the same trip. I’m pretty sure Malcom serves all of NYC, but I highly recommend them if you’re in Harlem and in need of quick and reliable car service.
