I think what stood out most was how frictionless the checkout n pickup process was. I booked it all from my phone, digitally signed the waivers, got a pincode to grab the key from a digital Dropbox, submitted a few pictures and took off...didn't even have to meet with anyone! Highly recommend A++++

Cab driver took wrong exit off of I-275 due to texting distraction. Driver used passengers iPhone GPS driving directions next. Got to airport on time. Driver informs passengers it is "CASH ONLY" today ($119 flat rate) because company will not take credit cards yet. Driver offered to go with passenger in Airport ATM to get cash. Fortunately, I had the cash and paid $140 including tip. I do not recommend ANY taxi that has no radio to dispatcher and relies on TEXTING down the highway. Nor do most folks like "CASH ONLY" companies. Not recommended. Will not use TAXI TAXI again.

If you've ever been stuck by the drawbridge on a busy week you know it adds 20-30 minutes, it's not done on a schedule, and it's unavoidable. Every other review is great, including this one. They're a great way to get around the Key. Free rides are great but they all rely on tips to continue. Be generous if the service is good.

This was my husband's and my first visit to Siesta Key, FL, and in case the traffic was heavy, we wanted the option to get a quick ride for cheap around the beaches and not have to take our big truck and find a place to park. The owner of the resort where we're staying said to try them. I called to get the low down, and the guy was polite and answered all my questions without problem. So I said that when the opportunity presents itself, I'd be calling for a ride because I had heard that the weekend was the time not to try to get around because the beaches are busy. So here we are yesterday, Sunday, and I've got to get to a restaurant in downtown beachdum before the close at 2:30p. I call at 1p to ask about how long before the "gentleman" can arrive at my resort, and was told about 20-25 min. OK -- it would be tight for a leisurely lunch, but I asked him to come and get us. We sat and waited and about 20 min. pass when I get a call on my phone and I say, "Are you out front?" He says, "Uh, I'm going to be about another 30 min because I'm stuck on the other side of the draw bridge and can't get there!" Well, now that means we won't even get to the restaurant until about 2p and will have to stuff lunch down, so I tell him that we're trying to get to a place before they close, and I appreciate his effort, but we've got to go and we'll just drive, so no thank you. We jump in our truck and start on our way when I receive a text from him that goes something like this: I don't know where you're from, Miss but around here we treat people with respect. I'm going to block your number so don't bother calling for another ride cause I'm blocking you! I couldn't believe it! I was not rude, I just couldn't wait any longer! Against my better judgement, I responded to his text saying, Go right ahead and block me because I'm blocking YOU! Where I come from, when people are counting on my business to be on time, we are on time! I will not only never call for a ride from you again, but I'm going to let EVERYONE on Yelp know about you as well! He had to get the last word before I actually blocked him and said, "I hope your lunch was worth the trouble." (whatever that meant) So, that is what I'm trying to warn you about. There are several taxi services here on Siesta Key, and I strongly recommend you call someone other than Surf Side Free Ride. You probably won't get a ride, but will get a nasty text for your wait time "trouble!" This guy was beyond rude.

Missed our flight due to utter incompetence on this company's part!…read more Our pre-booked car cancelled on us last-minute so we were scrambling to find someone else. This company states they could be with us in an hour. Called back and re-estimated it to be 45 minutes. He made sure we would use the service as the driver was traveling to us. We promised and stopped our search. After almost an hour we call to check and are told it would be another 20 minutes. Takes almost double that so by the time she's there we already know we'll never make it. The driver stated that the dispatch "didn't account for traffic". Their words! Lady was nice but her car stunk like cigarettes and I got a terrible headache from the stench. $1k later we are on a later flight. Received a request to give feedback and send a simple message stating what happened and they send me a nasty message telling me the driver was on time (100% not true) and to book ahead next time (we did!), then conceded and stated they "did their best". Rude and dishonest and unprofessional. AVOID!!!
