Towncar services VAN rental ?

[muttngeff]

We've used Happy in the past and been pleased, however:

1 They no longer price match

2 They quoted me a whopping $134 + tip

I've pretty much ruled out Tiffany (I'm not fond of tip included..Dh ends up tipping AGAIN because he feels guilty) Trust me, he did it last year with Happy, and I was NOT happy at that

FL Tours rubs me the wrong way...too many inconsistent service posts.

Looking now at: CARTIER PRESTIGE GOLDENLIMO QUICKSILVER
I need input from those of you who have chartered VANS with these companies (was the quote the TOTAL cost;did you get your grocery stop etc)

There are 5 of us with tons of luggage, so we NEED the van!

TIA!

Just used Quicksilver to get 5 adults/2 children in a van from Sheraton Suites Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral, and then from Port Canaveral to MCO. Very happy with the service. Only small problem was the driver was approximately 15 minutes late arriving at Port Canaveral, but it was no big deal because we were running about 10 minutes behind getting off the ship, clearing customs and getting all of our stuff together. The driver also had a valid reason for being a bit late, as it was raining pretty hard all over the Orlando/Port Canaveral area and traffic was very slow. The driver who picked us up at the Sheraton was early.

The thing that I liked best about Quicksilver was that what you saw on their website and heard from the owner was what you got. No hidden extra charges or "tip included." The van was $195 round trip, and they accept credit cards (another plus that some other operators don't have). I tipped each driver (different drivers out and back) $20 cash. Both were friendly and did all the bag handleing. Requested car seat and booster (no extra charge) were provided as promised. We did a no-charge grocery stop at a Publix supermarket in Cocoa on the way to the port. The vans were late model Ford E-350 series and were very clean. All in all a very positive experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend Quicksilver or use them again myself.
