I am SO thankful to Bob at Rare Transportation! Planning transportation for my son's wedding was a…read morebrand-new experience for me and Bob walked me through each step with such patience and kindness. His professionalism and customer service is like nothing I've experienced with ANY other business in a VERY long time. It is truly "rare" these days. Our guests all raved about how kind the drivers were! Allison Whitfield was one of the drivers and I don't know the name of the others (we had several buses). ALL were awesome! One man went above and beyond helping my best friend's husband who has had a stroke. Driving up to meet him, helping him off and on the bus...just going out of his way to help. Thank you Bob for everything!! Blessings!

REVIEW OF RARE TRANSPORTATION Event dates APRIL 26-28, 2019…read more It has seemed prudent to wait awhile before posting a review of my experience with Rare Transportation. The first draft was admittedly something of a rant; now that I have heard comments from our visitors and have had time to allow the entire episode to settle, I am ready to post. I selected Rare Transportation for our needs because it appeared to have the largest fleet of buses, and because other groups seem to have been quite pleased with Rare Transportation. In the beginning I felt that Peyton understood our needs and wanted to see that those needs were met. By the time the event happened, it was clear that was not the case. It is with regret that I cannot recommend it. There is a laundry list of complaints about the performance of the drivers and managers. Here I will mention only the most egregious one: no bus came to Embassy Suites Saturday morning to take people to the Botanical Gardens, in spite of a signed contact which included that responsibility. Peyton got mad at me because I pointed out various deviations from the agreed plans for Friday, and he vented his anger by cancelling the Saturday morning shuttle, with no notice to me of cancellation. That is simply not acceptable or professional. If anyone wants specifics on other problems, you may contact me. I can point out a number of details which bear watching, though there is no guarantee that they would be handled properly. It gives me no pleasure to post a negative review of any business. The event was a time to showcase Birmingham at its best; Rare Transportation's performance was an embarrassment. Alleen Cater alleenc@bellsouth.net 205-862-7179

Not only did she find us the best honeymoon spot, but she also got us a free spa service. I felt like this lady actually cared to make sure we got the most for our money. She price-matched what we found on a discount site and got us the spa treatment in addition! I will use her for everything!

We had an exceptional experience with our driver, Alina. She took us to three wineries, a…read moredistillery, and dinner, and everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. From the moment I booked her, she went above and beyond--after I sent over my planned route, she suggested a better, more efficient itinerary that made perfect sense and improved our entire day. Alina was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the trip. She even took photos for us, which made the experience feel even more special and memorable. She also truly saved the evening--after taking us to dinner, the restaurant turned out to be a bust, and we thought we'd have to head back to the hotel and figure something out. Without hesitation, she said, "I got you," and took us to Hattie B's Hot Chicken, which ended up being the perfect choice. If you're in the Birmingham area and looking for reliable, top-tier service, I highly recommend hiring her. Alina is truly top-notch.
