Terrible Company
I booked and paid for my son to be picked up from the Atlanta GA airport and transported to the Augusta GA office where he could then take an Uber from that office to his final destination. My son had been traveling January 1st since 5 am. He arrived to Atlanta at 1:30 pm and his trip was scheduled for 3 pm. He found the Groome Transportation shuttles and spoke to one of the drivers whom I later found out worked for the Columbus office. He showed her his phone with his itinerary on it and she told him he was in the right place and to get on the shuttle. So he did. He was conversing with the others on the shuttle and realized he was being driven to Columbus. This is all new for him and seeing as he spoke to your driver he assumed this was normal and she would then be driving him to Augusta right after that. During their stop in Columbus GA at Fort Moore your driver got into an argument with another soldier on the shuttle due to having forgotten one of their bags on the sidewalk at the airport. After the other soldiers were dropped off my son asked your driver what time he could expect to arrive in Augusta, she told him she wasn't supposed to take him to Augusta. He said yes, that is what my reservation shows and she said she had him mistaken for someone else and checked him in under someone else's name completely. I called the office in Augusta and spoke to someone (Latasha) she said that she would have him on the first bus BACK to Atlanta that she could. Once he was on that bus his arrival back to Atlanta was 7 pm. Your employee (Latasha) told me and my son both that she "might" be able to get him on another shuttle at 11 pm or 12 am but they were both full so she was "trying to work something out". My son is a service member who was due to be back to the base prior to 11:59 pm or he could be counted as AWOL which could result in him being chaptered out of the military. He is an 18 year old kid, he showed her his itinerary and she told him it was right and to get on the shuttle! So he did! Their employee Latasha told me she would issue me a refund and I paid for my son to take an Uber rather than risk him being late. Today, Jan 7th I called due to not seeing a refund pending and was told by a very rude employee who stated she was the operations manager for the Augusta office that she would not be giving me a refund. Terrible company! Scary Business Practices.
