Goodrideexpress now that Tony Hinds retired

[Disney Addicted]

I did not know Tony Hinds retired and still had his cell # in my phone. I texted about booking for an upcoming trip and received the following message.

"Thanks for reaching out and for your loyalty. We are still providing services to our customers. You can book line visiting goodrideexpress. I am looking forward to seeing you. Riland. Tony is retired."

Has anyone used this new company that has Tony's old number?

I have used Riland many times since Tony retired. Riland worked with Tony. Very reliable and responsive. On at least a few occasions I had to modify my plans last minute and he was always able to accommodate. I would absolutely recommend him.

When Tony retired, I started using Riland.
He is dependable and fantastic.

I think they need a new name. I keep reading goodrideexpress as "good riddance"

Yes, even capitalizing it as GoodRideExpress would help!

I was shocked at the price. More than $100 cheaper than anywhere else I looked.

When I book car service, I look for dependability and not price.

I am a single traveler female.
My preference is security and not costs.

I totally get that. But there are 8 of us, so that sort of narrowed down our choices a bit to begin with. We'd used Tony Hinds last time and he was wonderful. Everything I was looking at was 325-400 not including tip, so I was just shocked that he was that much cheaper and found it worth mentioning for anyone who was looking for a large group as it can be quite expensive.

Tony Hinds was an honest man and was very fair to his clients.

Did Tony die or just retire?

He was. We used him once, and he was great. The day we flew in there were lots of storms, so we were delayed leaving STL, then when we landed, we couldn't deplane due to lightning in Orlando, so it was almost midnight by the time we had our luggage. We texted about it, and he was very understanding and still had someone there. He was great.

I'm in the in the if it sounds too good to be true then it must be camp but I just got a quote from GRE for our trip in August 2025 (10 of us) and it was $200 RT. We used Tiffany for our last trip in 2022 and they were great but their price for 2025 is $300. I'm going to book GRE based off reviews here but @dez1978 I'd be very interested in hearing how their service was for your trip with 8 people.

I'll try to remember to report back.

We love Tony. I'm so sorry he's no longer driving (but he is near 80). Always responsive, always a gentleman. We'll miss him greeting us at the airport.

I just recently used Tiffany RT to Universal. There were just 2 adults, 2 suitcases. It cost about $200.00 including tip. I thought that was reasonable and I guess it's in the ballpark of what it costs at other places. We were very pleased with Tiffany and would book them again. This is our 2nd time booking with Tiffany. No complaints at all.
