These guys are the real deal and they live up to their name! Being from Chicago, I assumed I could make a call to some companies I found on Yelp and find a limo from North Port, FL to Tampa airport without issue. Just a matter of finding a service and giving them a call. It would be easy. Not so. Turns out getting a ride from North Port to Tampa is not something many car services are willing to do. At least those on the front page of Yelp. Feeling in a pinch, I called a national limo service and they said the trip would cost me over $400. I thought, maybe a taxi. Over $200. So then I clicked through to the second page of airport transportation listings on Yelp and see Always Reliable Transportation. Turns out they DO go to Tampa airport. Bingo! And their rate was fantastic! Unlike the other limo companies I tried to call where I got a garbly-recorded voicemail, I got a person on the line the second the phone rang at Always Reliable. They were friendly, helpful and gave me the confidence to know they were the right service to get me to Tampa. They confirmed with me the night before so I could rest easy knowing they'd be there in the morning. Did I mention they picked me up at 4am? Sharp. Just like they promised. Mike the driver was great. He drove safely and we had great conversation. He's the kind of guy that you feel like you've known him for years when you first meet him. Absolutely top notch. Between my wife and I traveling for business over the last 10 years, we have taken hundreds of limo rides and have used multiple transportation services over that time. I can honestly say that Always Reliable was one of my best experiences. My mom is 76 years old and lives in North Port. We can now rest assured that when we have her fly to visit us in Chicago we can book her through Tampa knowing we've got a stellar service to get her to the airport. These guys are aces. read more

I cannot say more great things about Pam and the peace it gave me to know she was picking up my 18 year old daughter. My daughter was invited by a friend to spend Spring Break at her grandparents place in Naples. She bought her own ticket to Punta Gorda not realizing that it was too far for them to pick her up. I was so worried about what kind of transportation she could take on her own to get there safely. I did not trust Uber for her alone, especially after some horrible stories I had heard. When I started calling places, not only was I shock by the cost, but I did not get a good feeling. After reading reviews about Always Reliable Transportation, I decided to call. Talking with Pam gave me immediate calmness. She could empathize with me having a teen daughter herself, she explain how she would send a picture and have her text me. She also describe the town car and that they would have water or soda for her. And to top it all, it was the most reasonable and affordable price. Unfortunately, she could not pick her up from Naples and back to Punta Gorda airport on the return, but Pam then recommended Lori who owns another independent transportation business to get my daughter. Thank God that worked too and she honored the same price Pam gave me. My daughter told me they were both wonderful and she felt comfortable the whole time. I will definitely Always Reliable Transportation again and highly recommend them. Thanks Pam (and Lori)! read more

What an amazing couple and corporation! They are doing it the right way! When our 18 y/o high school senior decided last minute that her and a friend wanted to go to Florida for spring break, I was reluctant since they are unable to rent a car in Florida because they are not 25. Since the hotel was an hour away from the airport, how were they going to get there. So I tried to look up cab companies and even downloaded Uber for her. Luckily I found reviews for this company. I contacted Pam and put my mind at ease! Pam and her husband themselves picked the girls up at the airport at baggage claim and took them to their hotel. My daughter sent me messages that they were ok and loved the couple that picked them up. She was so appreciative that it wasn't some weird cab driver! They then arranged a time to pick them back up to make sure they would make their return flight home. As a parent, I really appreciate the value that this couple has in their company! They took excellent care of our kids and made me feel at ease that they would be taken care of as if they were family picking them up! I would recommend them to everyone and will definitely us them again in the future! read more

If I could, I would give this company 10 stars! The customer service was exceptional in every way possible. Pam returned my initial call within hours so I could make a reservation for pick up in Englewood going to Punta Gorda, FL - an hour's drive. Pam called me again 24 hours before pick up time just to confirm. The day of pick up, both Mike and Pam arrived precisely on time. The safe and relaxing drive was superb - from the spotlessly clean Town car, to the ice cold refreshing beverages, and the comfortable conversation we shared. I had never used this company's service before nor even met them, but by the time we arrived at Punta Gorda, I felt like I was saying good-bye to 2 dear friends who I had known all my life! I am a business owner and travel frequently. Providing outstanding customer service is critical to the success of every business. They are truly benchmark in their industry. There's absolutely no reason to look elsewhere for transportation in this area because you're simply not going to find any one who does it better than Always Reliable Transportation. read more

I recently arranged transportation for my parents trip out of town. Pam was awesome in communicating with me about the entire process. She notified me that while the original return date was full, she kept them on a cancellation list and called a few days later to let me know that they could be accommodated. The driver was prompt (even early!), courteous and very helpful in bringing them to PGD for a very early flight on Christmas Eve. The service continued with making sure they were where they needed to be. The pickup was also flawless. They tracked the incoming flight and were waiting at baggage claim without any delay. I would recommend Always Reliable Transportation to everyone, especially someone like me who was making arrangements for elderly loved ones from afar. My family was in good hands with Pam and Mike and I look forward to using their service again in the future. Thanks for making the airport transport piece worry-free!!! read more

Outstanding service!! Mike was at my door with umbrella at 4 am for my trip from North Port to TPA. Great, comfortable and stress-free ride to the airport, arrived early. My flight home was diverted due to weather, but Mike and Pam were there to greet me when I finally arrived. Mike even got a wheelchair for me since my ankles were so swollen it hurt to walk. Love the personalized service, attention to detail, ice cold water, and plush town car waiting for the ride home! I will definitely use their service again. Really, it felt more like having Family there to greet me. Well worth the expense. After traveling for 35+ hours I was thrilled with the service. read more

I am reviewing without experiencing a shuttle ride, but I can only say that this company and Pam in particular are a five star company. From the first phone call, Pam was honest, helpful and incredibly professional. On the day I would have used the service, Pam contacted me first thing in the morning.... I had booked my flight going to a different airport- Sanford instead of Punta Gurda. She not only caught my mistake, but helped me to find a shuttle service in the correct area. Pam was very detail oriented, helpful and professional. I highly recommend this company. They exceeded my expectations for a shuttle service and genuinely care for each customer. read more

I just recently used Always Reliable Transportation, and they were great! Due to a family emergency, I was unable to travel to Florida with my kids over spring break, but Pam and Mike were very accommodating and picked up my 16 and 13 year old boys from the airport. They made sure they got to the boys grandmas house safely in Englewood, and picked them up at the end of their vacation(my mom went along this time also), and dropped off in Fort Myers. They were super friendly, on time, very reasonably priced, and took great care of my kids :) We will definitely be using this service again! Thanks Pam and Mike! read more

This is the real deal I am so glad I was searching for transportation found always reliable transportation. Mike and Pam were so friendly and willing to give information it was like they were your best friends picking you up. Their Lincoln was spotless with a Coke and a water available, called you by your first name on time, put luggage in the trunk. If you wanted your best friend to pick you up but they're not available call Always Reliable Transportation you'll be so happy you did, and by the way the fee was excellent, i'm using them again and again and again . Thank you Mike and Pam read more

After my sister in law did a lot of research, we needed to a driver for mother in law. My mother in law gave them an A+ for service and professionalism. Definitely contact Mike and Pam if you need a ride, won't be disappointed. Pam kept us posted on every step of the way, this put our minds at ease... Knowing my mother in law felt comfortable with Mike and Pam we knew we picked the right company. We will definitely use this company again. Thank you for your service Mike and Pam. read more

Mike was great last Tuesday. He helped drive my Dad and I from Tampa to North Port. My Dad was coming from California after a quintuple bypass, and Mike was great helping to navigate through the airport, carrying luggage, oxygen and everything. The town car is so comfortable and was a great relief coming back after a long trip. Excellent on-time and communication experience from time of booking with Pam to walking through the front door at home. read more

Outstanding service! Pam and Mike are very professional and friendly at the same time. I was a bit nervous traveling alone but they made me feel very comfortable. They met me at the airport even though my flight was delayed an hour. They walked me to my door and provided flashlight service as well so I could see to unlock my house! I would highly recommend them and plan on using their service again! read more

Wow, what a great company!!! Mike picked me up at RSW in a sparkling clean Lincoln town car, took my luggage, gave me a stone cold bottle water wrapped in a coozy! We had a lively and fun conversation back to my home, even carried my luggage into the house, how about that for service!!!! I highly recommend them for your transportation needs!!! A 1st class company!!!! read more

I have used this service 6 times and just booked them for 4 more for vacations this summer. The service is impeccable and it is door to door, and your luggage is carried into your home. They provide you with a cold beverage of your choice, who else does that. Mike and his wife are great people and make the ride pleasurable. The rates are the best around. Judy S read more
