Which to use for a family of 5?

[dahess]

This is our first time using any transportation other then our own. We are not renting a car so therefore we need help There is 2 adults & 3 kids in our family so a towncar won't work. Will it? What do the experts recommend? We will need to make a soda/water stop on our way to POR.

How are the Mears Shuttle Vans?

We are a family of five and have used both TTC and YourRide. The Lincoln Towncar with TTC was comfortable and we got all our luggage in it. YourRide picked us up in a van this past year. I think one of the many towncar companies out there could help you with your transportation needs.

Check the rates for the Towncar companies. Many offer a shuttle van also for similar prices.

You will love the luxury of having a car (or van) just to yourselves. And the grocery store stop is cool. It is just long enough to pick up the basics that you need.

I have used both tiffany and yourride. I have used yourride for my last 3 trips and couldn't be happier. I would recommend them.. Whether you need a towncar or a van will prob depend on your luggage and grocery store stop. If you pack lightly, the towncars will hold 5 passengers (also depends on of car seats are needed) and a van will hold more.
Good luck!

Thanks for the information! What is the normal tip you give the driver?

The typical tip is $10 each way. Just in case you get a different driver on your return trip to the airport.

We have a family of 5 and have used yourride twice. Last time they picked us up in an Expedition. The kids get a DVD player and are silent the entire ride!!
