What makes us unique?


 As we reach our first birthday, GoGreenRide is proud to highlight our core values. We are particularly excited to see how our mission of providing superior service has resonated with our customers, who have embraced the personal touch that is absent in transportation!


 



 Reliability - Riding with GoGreenRide means knowing you'll get where you're going, on time, without worry. We ensure our clients always know the location of their assigned car by allowing them to track their car, so they don't have to hail in the cold or rain. 



   

With our luxury service and top of the line amenities, GoGreenRide is as comfortable as a black car service but as affordable as a yellow cab. We make getting to the airport both convenient and cost effective with our flat rates. Rides between Manhattan and LaGuardia stand at $32, Manhattan and JFK are $52, and Manhattan to Newark Liberty Airport are $70, plus tip and toll.  

Our cars are also available for extended periods at a rate of $45 per hour. With this option, you can direct your driver to unlimited stops for the duration of your booking. Interested? Contact us at hourly@gogreenride.com to coordinate your hourly chauffered service.



 We value superior customer service and guarantee that our members experience the same level of quality each time they book a ride with us. We ensure this by providing rigorous training and customer service exercises to our drivers. Additionally, we send quarterly surveys to get feedback from our members. Whether you book a ride from your house on the weekend, or an early morning ride from your office to a client meeting, we will maximize your experience and provide you with a pleasant ride.  


GoGreenRide is committed to being environmentally responsible and we know our customers value that highly. Our current fleet is composed entirely of the Toyota Prius V hybrid model. With an estimated 42 miles per gallon, our fleet boasts an EPA smog score of eight out of ten. In addition to our hybrid cars, we also purchase carbon credits to offset our environmental impact.




Innovation - The GoGreenRide experience keeps you plugged in. Each of our cars is decked out with complimentary WiFi, an iPad, and electrical chargers for most phones. Plug in and stay connected as we take you to your destination.











Whether you use GoGreenRide for business or pleasure, we are committed to guaranteeing you the same quality in experience. We want everyone to be able to use GoGreenRide and we look forward to riding with you!
