Our previous visit they came ONE HOUR early to pick up my son to go to the airport, at 3:30 a.m.!! Luckily he’s a light packer and ran out in 5 min.

Before this we had been very happy with their service. Something is going sideways lately.
I used them in January and again in February. Both times, they arrived within 5 minutes of their appointed time.

I received text updates and I could even track the progress of the driver on my phone...

The only hiccup I've had was when my plane was late arriving @ Orlando. I called them from the tarmac and they told me the driver couldn't wait, as he had others to take care of. They put me on the next pick-up, so I had lunch and a beer at the airport and was on my way an hour later...
