    Default Happy Limo vs Quicksilver

    I know I asked a question regarding airport transportation...but here is another one.

    So since we are staying off-site for a few nights prior to WDW, we need transportation to our resort. I emailed both Happy Limo and Quicksilver for some additional information, but only Happy Limo responded.

    That should be my answer off the bat, but does anyone have any views or experience with either?? Which one should I choose??

    TIA

    That's odd. Quicksilver is usually very quick. I've tried both. I definitely liked Quicksilver better. Nicer vehicles and better service. HL was 30 min late picking us up. I've heard a lot of other mixed reviews on them - some good, some not so good, but I've always heard glowing reviews of QS.

    We've used Sunray many times over last 5 years most recently in March. Nice guys, great cars and a stop for shopping too. I've not used either of your 2 choices. Good luck.

    Happy Limo used to be great, but over the years, service has gone downhill. Communication has never been a weak point with them, however the "happy" has been fading. We go with limo service from/to the airport and have been forced to switch to QS due to this. No problems so far, but we'll see how long it lasts.

    When you're in a service oriented business, the key is SERVICE!

    I used to use Happy Limo as well but also found that their service had declined.

    We've switched to Quicksilver and have been very pleased with the service we've received. Plus, using Quicksilver helps support Intercot as they are a sponsor of this site.

    I would have to wonder if your contact with Quicksilver went astray. They have always promptly responded to my booking requests.

    We've used QS twice for limo transfers to and from the airport to the resorts. We've always been happy with the service and limos. We even took advantage of stopping at the grocery on the way to the resort. Our driver was always pleasant and prompt.

    In the past I have used Tiffany Town Car, Happy Limo and Quicksilver. I used Quicksilver last year and this year as they are an Intercot sponsor.

    I was very happy with all three when I used them at the time.

    My only issue using QS is that they do not offer a stop at the grocery store unless using them RT. We can pay an extra $20 to stop, but not sure if it is worth it. May have to look into using Garden Grocer instead again and using QS for a one way.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi TIA,

    We usually answer all our emails as soon as they are received (as long as received before 8 pm of course). Maybe our response was blocked by your email provider...it happens more often than we would like...
    Give us a call or feel free to ask anything you want right here, I'll answer you soon after. :-)

    Best regards,

    Gregory Nicolas.

    No other transportation company, to my knowlege, offers a stop free on one way trips. I'm pretty certain Happy Limo doesn't as well. Has any other company offer you a stop free on a one way, if so, please let me know...

    Quicksilver-

    Thanks for the response. I did send my email again, and got a response the second time.

    To answer your second question, I sent you a PM with that information.

    Thanks again!

    We have used QS a few times for the most part they have been very dependable and the free stop is very nice. Unfortunately, last year we did have an issue, we ordered a town car and got a large van instead with a driver that did not speak English very well. He told us that the town car broke down so they substituted the van, never got any kind of message from the owner about the issue. Cars break down and I am glad they just didn’t leave us stranded at the airport, but some kind of follow up would have been nice.

    We used Happy Limo going from WDW to the DCL and the from DCL back to the airport. Wonderful service and puctual - even early for our ride to Port Canaveral. What was even more cool is that the driver called us while we were waiting at the cab area after getting off the boat. Once confirming we were there, he pulled up in a stretch limo -- a Ford Expedition! There was a movie playing for our ride back (Madagascar) and we really felt like royalty! What was funny was when he pulled up, we asked how many families would he be taking back.... and it was only us. Be warned - they don't guarantee limos. Our trip there was in a large van (older), but the driver was really cool and we chatted the whole way there!

    We are going back in October and will definitely use Happy Limo again to go from WDW to Universal.

    Really sorry you were dissapointed and again sorry for the inconvenience. I hope your return was with the car reserved or an upgraded one.

    Just so everyone reading this post understands our policies, I must also let you know as a reminder that we do clearly explain on our confirmation email (also same policy was accepted when reserving) that on seldom cases (big flight delays, break downs, and etc...) we reserve the right to send an alternate vehicle so our clients don't have to wait to long. Rest assured, we only change vehicles in these extreme cases... Actualy, many times we do upgrade our clients from towncars or vans to our Escalades...

    Best regards,

    Gregory Nicolas.
