I know there are lots of transportation companies that can take you to your resort from the airport.

I have called Mears and they are very nice. I have called Tiffeney Towncar and I do not use the type of language best to describe them and I found a new place (well, new to me) called Murray Hill Transportation/Orlando Transportation Shuttle and Services. Anybody heard of them? More importantly, has anybody used them?

Their prices are less than Mears and they have been given great reviews on their website, but I would like to hear from somebody that has used them besides those nicey nicey comments on their webpage. :wave:
 
You might post over on the Transportation board too, there are several different options. One is Florida Tours, who is a sponsor of the Dis.

Good luck!
 
Gracias Bambinograndeojodeazul.

My in-laws will be disappointed if I have messed that one up. :earsgirl:

Here was my awful experience.....

I have called them several times and the people that answer the phones are rude, hateful, short, unhelpful and just downright nasty.

I called the first time and some woman very hatefully, like I had interrupted her sleep, answered "TiffanyTownCar" as if it was one word. I asked for a price and she quoted something off to me. She was so hateful and rude and said it with no breaks between her words that I had to ask her again for the price for a round trip fare on a shuttle to Disney's Pop Century from the airport and she rattled it off again and sighed. I said thank you and she hung up the phone without saying thank you, thank you for calling, we don't want your business, anything.

BTW - I had asked her to repeat it because it did not line up with what was on their website.

My mother-in-law had called me because I provided her with the website address. She said she called to make a possible reservation and the prices given to her were $30 higher than on the site. She requested pricing for both roundtrip fares to and from the airport as well as transportation to and from Universal Studios. She said that the woman she spoke to was very hateful and was aggravated with each question she asked. She said the woman she spoke to would sigh when she would say she had another question. My MIL did not make the reservation.

I called them to ask them about the pricing as I thought I had more tolerance and thinking maybe I would get somebody else. The woman who answered the phone was like the one above, quick, one word answer, hateful, you name it. I told her what had happened with my MIL and being provided the wrong information and hateful reply was “then she did not call here,” I said she had to have because she gave me the number I just called. The woman then said, “well, then she did not know what she was talking about or she asked for the wrong thing.” I told the woman thank you, I hung up and I called Mears.

Mears may be a little higher in price, but for the lack of service and hateful attitude coming from the calls we made to Tiffany Town Car, I am willing to spend $50 more in transportation. When I called Mears, I spoke to a gentleman named Ian who was nice, helpful, full of information and certainly was not insulting.

For the kind of money and trip you expect in Disney World, I certainly would not want to start it off on a bad note with these people. In addition, Mears is contracted with Disney and will certainly take care of you. The last experience we had with Mears was wonderful. Pure professionalism and courtesy.

As I said, I do not use the type of language that describes these people (although I sure did think it), I would never use them due to their hateful and insulting comments as well as their refusal to try to make something they did wrong - right by just being nice.
 
All I can say about TiffanyTownCar is..WOW

I have used them a couple of times and have never run into this kinda treatment before but I wouldn't stand for it. If they don't want the business, they are sure on the right path with someone like that women answering the phone... WOW

Thanks for the information bytheblood..
 
I must say, you are very tolerant. I would've just wrote them off after the first phone call - totally unprofessional. I have two words for you ~ FL Tours . I was hesitant to use a Town Car Company, I always rented. We used them in May and will again in September. Andy was wonderful to deal with, the cars were very clean and the drivers were great. I have a real control problem (the main reason I'm not thrilled to fly) but I felt very safe in their hands. They were a little higher than others, but hey they are a board sponsor and the piece of mind I get is worth the extra cost. :D

Thank you for the info. I had heard of Florida Tours, but never gave them much thought. I was aware of Mears from last time, but if I can get a better price for a service to take me to and from the airport, that is what I am looking for. I will certainly look into Florida Tours.

I have not always been so "tolerant" of poor service. I used to be the type of person who would cuss them out, call them names and complain to their manager. :crazy:

Over the years I have come to realize we are only on this earth for a very short time and it is not worth all of that. Of course, I completely understand what you mean about writing them off after the first time. I guess I was offering the benefit of the doubt. I know everybody has bad days. For all I knew, she could have been told her husband was leaving or her mom had cancer. However, after my second time when she (and I don't think it was the same woman) basically called my MIL and idiot and a liar, I was done.

:earseek: I will be honest and admit that it took everything I had to not call her back and say the few choice words I had playing in the back of my mind.:rolleyes1
 
Wow, you have such a wonderful attitude. I hope that you find a town car company that gives you the respect and service you deserve. Have a great trip!
