Incommunicative I had submitted an online query regarding a minibus hire for a company event. I never heard back, so I called the customer service line. The representative just answered "Hello?" without identifying the company, so I wasn't even sure I had the right number. I told him we needed to get a quote. He had to look in their email trash to find the email that had been sent to me, which I never received initially, which provided the quote. This poor experience in just obtaining a quote does not make me feel very confident about using this service.

I started off calling for a quote, in which I was quoted $890 over the phone. I asked if that included gratuity, and the representative said no. I asked if they could send the quote to my email address, and the rep said yes, but only if I send her the details in writing about my trip (even though I had just gone through everything over the phone). After that, I sent the email with trip details, then had to call back twice to receive the quote via email. I received it about 6 hours after I placed my original phone call. When I received the quote, it was about $400 more than what I was quoted over the phone - and the rep did not tell me that her over the phone didn't include fuel surcharges, additional driver gratuity, an admin fee, etc. I would appreciate when I call to get a quote over the phone that the FULL amount is disclosed. Because there is limited availability elsewhere, I have decided to move forward with the estimate. I have provided my credit card information, but have not received any confirmation or receipt for the transaction. It's been a poor experience so far.

Communication issues - I thought the driver who showed up was amazing! He came with water bottles and was great for all attendees. However, the communication leading up to the event was lacking. I felt panicked in that I was the one constantly reaching out to get the drivers phone number, etc information. I was worried about the pick up location and tried to call and email to specify. The communication with the main office was lacking on these matters was non-existent. I had to call 7 times one day for an answer (which didn't happen until I called from another line). I was extremely disappointed in the lack of reply from any email I sent, in that I barely ever received a reply. Frustrating experience, EXCEPT for Frank who was a wonderful driver for us in Madison, WI. Thanks Frank!!
