Towncar Service

Does anyone have any personal recommendations for a Towncar service? There are only 3 of us - myself, DH and 3 yr old DD. Since DD is with us this time we don't want to deal with Mears (had long wait in airport last time) Looking at rates thru Happy and Tiffany it should only be $20something more for a towncar. Any personal experiences- good and bad?

We used Tiffany in December, and they were great. I think the cost from airport to resort and back is about $80. They were there at the airport, helped us with bags, stopped at the store and were on time for all of the other things they were supposed to do. Their drivers (we had 3 different ones) were all great, and I would recommend them, not because they are a sponsor here, but because they did a great job for us.

We used Tiffany last May and are using them again this year. They were just like Mickey said. I believe they have a $5 coupon at their site also. Plus the grocery stop and the help with the bags was great!!

We used Tiffany last September and they were great. Like they said above, they were there when we got in, helped us with our bags and dropped us off within 50 mins from landing. It may cost about $40 dollars more for 2 people but the service and being dropped pff right in front of the hotel with a stop at the store and picked up on time and getting to the airport without other stops is worth the money. We are going this May and have made arrangement with them again.

Just a nods to Happy, too. We lucked out and they upgraded us on the return trip to a stretch limo. Pretty happy with everything all around.

Both companies you mention are excellent, but I highly recommend staying away from the smaller car services. Sometimes they get so backed up they show up late, or as what happened to us, not at all. I've never heard this happening with either Tiffany or Happy Limo.
