The car was clean and very nice, apparently I was being driven by the owner who was pitching in today. There was pleasant conversation, and I'm not usually big on taxi conversation. (I've paid a driver an extra $5 not to engage me.) He talked about his time in Chicago, and hanging out in the bleachers at Wrigley Field, and the economics of being poor, and the important thing is that I was at the airport fifteen minutes early.

At 3:30 AM, despite having a driver assigned and everything confirmed, Uber canceled on us. We were left scrambling and quickly realized that getting another driver at that hour on Sanibel/Captiva is nearly impossible -- something we later learned is unfortunately pretty common. Thankfully, Exquisite Services absolutely saved us. They stepped in immediately when Uber dropped the ball and made sure we got to the airport on time. The professionalism and reliability were night and day compared to our experience with Uber. This was a hard lesson learned: I won't ever rely on Uber for something this important again. Small city rides? Sure. But for airport transportation or anything that truly matters -- no chance. We are incredibly grateful to Exquisite Services for taking care of us when it counted most.

Many other passengers had drivers cancel on them, but I called Got A Taxi and driver Chris let me know he could help get me 25 mins south but he was picking up another couple and he'd be right back for us. His other couple dipped out on him so he circled the airport and came and picked us right up. Super pleasant and friendly. Good driving. Reasonable price -$65 flat from SRQ to Nokomis. Uber was asking $80 and Lyft was asking $40, but no drivers would accept. I am very happy we used Got A Taxi Sarasota. *Van was not labeled with company name

This is hands down the WORST taxi business ever and I can only hope that Uber and Lyft will put…read morethem out of business. Their business model is truly horrendous, extortionate and unethical. I took one of these cabs at Sarasota airport and asked them to take me home, which is close to the ringling museum - that's less than a mile (roughly 0.7 miles). I could easily walk that, but I had a heavy bag. My trip to the airport with an Uber cost $5.28. So I thought this would only be slightly more expensive. When the driver dropped me off at home (after roughly 3 minutes of being in the vehicle) he said that it would cost me $25. When I asked to see the meter he said "no meter, just a flat fee to and from the airport". That is just disgrace. Flat fees were introduced to stop consumers being ripped off! All I can say is avoid them. No repeat business from me!

This is a Diplomat employee who steers you to one of their cabs. He will offer to put you bag in the trunk and then expect a tip. Just watch out is all I am saying. The cab driver was ok but the CC machine was "broken". I don't usually carry cash, so he was lucky . Not sure what would have happened had I not had cash. Advice; ask before you get in. The cab definitely was showing its age and the emissions "check engine" light was on. My experience tells me the emissions were not in perfect working order. All this would be less annoying if the ride to Longboat Key hadn't been 30% more than the ride back to SRQ (I highly recommended Yellow Cab for this).

What a nightmare! I called to ask if they do metered runs or flat fares to the airport. Not a crazy question, especially for a New Yorker. The guy told me it's metered and then launched into a monologue about how annoying it is that people treat taxi rides like they're making some major purchase. Maybe I'm nuts, but last I checked, it's well within my right as a potential customer to ask how much money a service is before I buy it. Maybe he should go live in Brooklyn for 10 years and them he'll learn why people ask how much a ride costs before they get into the car. As for me, I'm going to go with a more polite taxi company this time around.
