Quote:
Insured for liability, driver is background checked, vehicle inspected in the last year, all same as Uber/Lyft.

Most of our trips are a month or longer. Parking gets expensive. And why not have someone drive you for $110?

Uber sucks.
Groome is usually the most cost-effective option, but can be unreliable, you're crammed in with many other people, and it can take a lot longer to get home. There are a handful of well-established, properly permitted/insured companies with excellent reputations who offer private vehicles - this is by far the most reliable, least stressful, and most comfortable option. Is it cheap? Absolutely not. Is it worth it? Every penny. |

Last time I checked Groome was less than half the price you quote for Uber and Lyft. $45 one way I believe.

It is $45 if they pick you up at one of the depots - Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing, Brownwood Hotel & Spa, Hotel Eastport. It is $50 if they pick you up at home. If you add a a $5 tip, it is $55 and if you add a $10 tip, that is $60. For one person, it isn't bad. If there are two or more of you, Uber or Lyft are about the same and if there are three or more, they are much cheaper.

LOL, based on what? Experience? At least you can give a review for the Uber or Lyft driver good or bad which impacts their rating. Can you do that with other services? Do you actually check the insurance and other requirements before you take another service? You cannot be a Uber/Lyft driver without an annual vehicle inspection, background and insurance checks.
