I never bothered to complain about my Groome experience on TOTV, but I'll never use them again. They had a van breakdown, so they were behind on airport pickups. Instead of dispatching two vans to get caught up, everyone had to wait 2-4 hours at MCO to get on a van. Pickup wasn't based on how long you have waited, it was who could push their way to the front.
I travel weekly for work, so see the issues and can confirm they are not a "one-off". The advantage Workman had was they had multiple size vehicles, from vans to busses so could scale up or down as needed. Groome has one size, so when they are full that is it. If someone lands early and takes a seat, that seat is no longer available for those that actually reserved a seat for that time. Groome is a national chain, so your complaint is one of hundreds.....Workman is local.
If you have issues, make sure you let the corporate office know (
FAQ - Groome Transportation - Book Now ). They won't step in until the complaints reach a level where THEY know there is a problem.
