I was in Orlando a day ago for a conference, and wanted to see Disney's Hollywood Studios. I needed a ride to Oviedo (37 miles), and chose this small cab company. Having read Yelp reviews of other cab companies (poor-to-average), I was reasonably edgy at this one too.
I asked them over email for a quote, and they replied within a day. 85$, which was what I'd expected (about 2$ a mile).
Basically how it works is, you provide your credit card details over-the-phone or online, and they place that on file (in case of a no-show, I assume). When you get picked up and dropped off at your destination, they swipe your card and you get charged.
The driver (Ricardo) showed up on time, was professional in dress and manner and the cab (rather, town-car - it was a glossy black sedan with huge amounts of leg-room and comfortable leather seats) was amazing. I was relieved to see that he used a GPS all the way, and stuck to the speed limit. He said he's been doing this for 9 years, although not with the same company.
All said, I arrived on time, was not taken for a ride, and got my money's worth. I'd ride by this service any day! read more
