And all these one car services everyone's suggesting, not one of them have COMMERCIAL INSURANCE! Wow, and you put your name as a recommendation. That's someone's family you're asking to travel with a non-insured individual. Just as any of them if you can see their commercial insurance policy and see what happens???? Their private auto insurance even with a rideshare addition is not LEGAL to be permitted for the airports, it requires a million dollar comm. policy everyone. Why do you think these individuals are cheaper then the legal services, they don't have the overhead costs.

Baloney, the one I recommended is not a one car service and they are fully insured and licensed to operate at all of the airports.

I wasn't referring to your recommendation about Creative Concierge, yes they are a licensed and commercially insured service, so is Capri and Dave's Airport Transportation. Now, as for those others, they are not even registered with the state of florida div of corporations like the 3 services mentioned here are as livery services. That's what I was referring to.

Ok. If they are operating commercially at the airport without a license, it is just a matter of time before they are caught and possibly fined.

Traveled twice in the last 2 months.

Took Villages Van once - and PERFECT.
Took Groome the next time - and PERFECT.

I'm sure folks have their 'horror stories' but for us, recently, either VV or Groome performed wonderfully. Both had great communication from their office/drivers. Right on time and very minimal time waiting for their van at MCO. Door to door - for their pricing, can't be beat.

IMO we are VERY lucky here in TV to have choices of airport transporation, esp the door<>door at a very reasonable cost. Used to drive ourselves/park at MCO. No more - not worth the hassle and worries.

You are EXACTLY right since they've installed plate readers looking for those consistent illegal services, lol! Matter of time.

Not to mention the legal carriers are very protective of their territory and will rat out an illegal operator in a heart beat.

I personally wouldn't let my grandchildren ride in a vehicle not properly insured.

We will be using Dave's this week for outgoing and returning. They seem very professional so we will see how our experience goes and may report back.

Who in their right mind would? I don’t get your point as it relates to my statement.

Sorry, but I wasn't referencing anything intentionally behind your point. I merely was stating fact on my preferences when using a private car service. The poster using Dave's this week, you won't be sorry. I like that they had their commercial insurance posted on their business page on NextDoor Neighbor. Dave and his drivers are absolutely the best to work with, I use to use a competitor before my neighbor shared Dave's with us. The competitor used young drivers that don't adhere to any where close to the speed limit and while talking on a phone going up the fla turnpike doing 90+. I am so relaxed when using Dave's service now until someday I stop traveling.

DrivenbyScott couldn't show my friend that they had commercial insurance, so that's a flag why not to use them.

Who ever you are, please don't speak about something YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!
CAPRI Transportation is NOT mom & pop company without COMMERICAL INSURANCE!!!
What we pay a month would keep you up at night, that's the number one reason why our client's post
WE ARE THE BEST BUT NOT CHEAP!!!! You retired, nothing to do car services are the ones cheating the system
using your personal car insurance.
Overall, CAPRI has 31 employees, and everything about us is 100% legit!!!
That's a disgrace your posting items you know nothing about!!!!
