Hi! My family of 4 is traveling to Universal for the first time next week (we're branching out from Disney) and I'm thinking about transportation from the airport to Royal Pacific. You all make a compelling argument for Tony Hinds.I was wondering if he's still a better deal (money & time-wise) than just a taxi, if we don't need a grocery stop? Thanks so much!
Nothing wrong with a taxi if you find it to be better for you.
There are quite a few people that prefer just making transportation set ups at the time they need them and not in advance.
Private car service with Tony would be transportation from airport to your destination
What is different with tony is he tracks your flights so you don't have to worry if your plane is arriving late or early.
(this is a bit of info he needs when a person books with him, flight # and airline)
Not many transportation companies park in the airport as it is costing them money when they do.
Tony does not pass that cost on to his fares.
He covers it all.
Also, he does not have you cover any tolls.
Some companies do when you have private car service.
Some car services do offer one free grocery stop, some don't
Tony is one that does.
He meets you at the bottom of the escalators holding an ipad with the last name of the party that booked the ressie.
He is always prompt
In fact, he usually arrives 15 minutes before it is time to pick you up at your hotel
He tells me he rather be early and not late when he is given the pick up time.
I find that i enjoy the convenience of Tony and private car service rather than the ME or taxi's.
He handles my luggage for me, gives me door to door service and has always kept his car clean.
I had my appendix burst 2 years ago this fall and emergency surgery.
i had already booked my flights, hotel, etc months in advance and did not want to cancel.
(of course i spent a large portion of my vacation sleeping in the hotel room....)
I was not doing very well after spending 4 nights in ICU at the hospital.
It was 12 days later that i had my vacation start.
Since i was not completely healed up, Tony did my grocery shopping for me.
I sat in his car while he took care of that errand for me.
How many companies would do that for a customer?
You don't pay anything in advance, but pay when you are dropped off at your destination.
He takes cc and cash.
Tony does have other drivers that work for him but a family will usually have Tony for at least one of the drives you need.
That happens if there are time conflicts with other fares that were set up in advance.
He does ports and airports and also to anywhere you want to go.
i have used ME, and about 5 other private car service companies in orlando.
When i found Tony 6 years back, i have stayed with him.
He is honest, reliable and a local business man with his company.
Most of my trips are solo and I feel very safe with Tony.
One more thing, i tend to give my business to the small local companies.
Many of them go out of business over the years but i prefer to spend my money on local providers and not major companies.
