Yakov Gindin, Luxury Limousine Driver

If you’re in the Manhattan area and need the very best transportation possible, you can’t do better than Yakov. He’s kind, thoughtful, punctual, honest, and you could eat off the floors of his 7-​seater Suburban. We first used him around 5 years ago when I was in a wheelchair and/​or crutches and visited NYC with our 3 adult daughters — he virtually carried me into the car and treated me like the Queen of Romania. Even though I’m now able-​bodied, our family still uses Yakov. We usually come to NYC as a big family, including the grandchildren with all their paraphernalia. He gave us the most wonderful ride from Midtown to LaGuardia this morning and always does the little extras — going slowly around the turns and bumps so as not to inconvenience us, greeting our little grandson with a handshake and a hug (which was spontaneously offered by our grandson), playing the music we like, making sure the temperature is comfortable, retrieving and delivering our family members at different terminals and not charging extra — the list of his virtues is endless. Yakov doesn’t try to «stiff» his customers (we’ve found him to be scrupulously honest and competitive in price), he simply provides a wonderful service to the best of his ability which is very good indeed. We look forward to our next visit to NYC and riding with Yakov.
