I was wondering if I had this information right, or there was some other explanation. Do they support ********, the threads are a little confusing to me? Does anyone know what the situation is with TTC? I hope I am explaining this right, Thanks!

I wonder why the switch? TTC has been great for our trips.

TTC may feel that they have gotten a good return on their advertisement while ******** is trying to get the word out, simple maybe but that is the way that advertising works. I had never of ******** until I saw this post.
I'm not sure, but we will be sticking with Tiffany. We have used them for ALL of our WDW trips and we have had nothing but wonderful experiences each and every time. They have even gone above and beyond the call of duty when our plane was delayed, our luggage lost, etc. We wouldn't think of starting our WDW trips any other way!!

I would guess that the advertising went to the highest bidder.

Different websites have different sponsors, they have to pay the bills some how. We have always had good luck with TTC, I know some people have not, but this happens in any business. We will be using TTC for our trip on the 27th of this month.

"Your Ride" has a site that you can get to on the main page. It's at the bottom right side. I never knew that TTC sponsored this sight!! I heard talk of them on here but only by people that had used them. I have used both TTC and "Your Ride" and I got a better deal with "Your Ride" and they waited for us at the airport 3 hours when our plane was delayed. TTC didn't even show up when we were on time!! I will always stick to the sponsors of this board because I've gotten so much helpful info. from it!

We used TTc in late August. Our flight was 2 1/2 hours late, but TTc was waiting. We never had a chance to call to let them know. I'll check out Your Ride and watch reports here. Sponsers change all the time, that's advertising. I would not put too much stock in who is the best just because they bought an ad.
Just went and looked. Your Ride & Tiffany Towncar are the same price. Both offer a $5 off coupon. But, TTc has an $8 coupon in the PassPorter guide.
Guess I'll just have to watch for reports.

Your Ride saved us $45 over TTC. That's another reason I cancelled TTC and went with Your Ride. It's nice to have several to choose from. Can you imagine if there was only one?!! LOL!

OK!! Which is it? Sponsor or sponser? I had "er" then changed it when I noticed a couple of people had "or". Now someone else has "er"! I hate to have it mispelled!!

DW , can you tell me how you saved $45. I have checked and both list the same fee for roundtrip to WDW. I have found a $5 coupon for TTC and an $8 for YR. Just wondering if there are other offers out there.

We used them for 2 trips. One from the airoprt and back and then from HRH to Grand Floridan with a midnight pickup at Magic Kingdom after MNSSHP. Your Ride quoted me $45 cheaper then TTC had. I had groc stops for both and everything would of been the exact same. Maybe if you fill out the form and tell "Rabbit" you want the special dis-board discount he'll give you one!!LOL! Maybe not, too, but he seems like a super nice guy!! Give it a try !!

if you've been around for a while you'll remember the same thing happened to atlantis limo a few years ago. After speaking with our Happy Limo Driver I found out it is very Cut throat and he who has the money becomes sponsers of the different boards

service. It is run by a young woman formerly from Syracuse NY and her brother is one of the drivers. I feel like I'm being met by family and won't switch to save a few bucks. It is definitely a cut throat business (witness in the yellow pages/phone book, right after Tiffany Towncar there is Tiffany's towncar - not the same thing at all!)

I checked ********'s site and their prices are the same as TTC.
Sometimes you can work out a deal - one time our TTC driver dropped us off at our resort and he was going to head to the airport for another pickup. There were a bunch of people standing there waiting for Mears - he offered to take someone for gratuity only. He was heading to the airport anyway, he figured he might as well make some extra $$.

******** is cheaper if you need a van. They don't charge extra for a van, but Tiffany does.

We had used them 2X on our recent trip. That's the reason I asked for quotes from both places. It's not like I could just get their price off the web site for one trip. I think it's basically whoever treats you right, that's the person you'll go with the next time and that's why I would choose Your Ride over T's next time. It's, for me, the reverse of what the lady above posted on the way she feels about T'. I had problems with them so I like "Your Ride" better. She's had no problems so she's happy where she is!

We have used Your Ride twice in the past six months.
"Rabbit" is a super guy and I wouldn't use any-one else.
We are planning another trip already and the first thing my girls asked me
when I told them was "Can the same man pick us up".
Using Your Ride is the perfect way to start your vacation!!
We have had terrific service with this company.

fyi--Most of your posts are not favorable to ********, the cynic in me is curious do you (your friends, family etc) have any type of releationship with either company? ********.net seems to be a marketing name. That name doesn't seem to be listed anywhere, I suspect all the licensing, tax paying etc is done by the owner under his name. I always rent a car but I haven't seen any negative posts from anyone who HAS ACTUALLY USED ********.

I don't know about being registered and all that, but what's good enough for WebmasterPete, is good enough for me! Besides, TTC doesn't support these boards, right? If Your Ride is supporting these boards then I'm using them! I agree with the above post. I think FYI, or whatever, must be a partner in TTC!

I agree with DW mouser...service is the name of the game. People tend to stick with the service that treats them right and switch when they get bad treatment. We stick with Happy Limo because the service is reliable, and our favorite driver is Kahn because he is a blast to chat with. We go to Port Canaveral to pick up Disney cruises more than we go to WDW, and having a good conversation makes the 45 minute ride go by very quickly.
I wonder what the towncar business in Orlando was like before the internet became so widely used...now it's so easy to find out a company's reputation just by doing a little online research. I think that's a great thing for consumers because it makes companies pay more attention to pleasing their customers.
