Stay away from this car service! My wife set this up for me because I was delayed getting to Seattle. A nice gesture and I thought all would be well. As a car service, I expected to be the lone passenger but was surprised to see a woman sitting in the passenger seat and her luggage in the back before I got to the car. He was charging two people the full fare for making one trip. The ride itself to the hotel was fine.
The excitement began when I arrived at my hotel. I grabbed my luggage and started to walk inside when the driver told me that I needed to pay. I was under the impression that it was taken care of. That wasn't his fault so I offered up my credit card. He got upset that it wasn't cash. Then told me that there would be a $5 charge for using my card. I had a long trip and didn't care at that point so I told him to just do what he needed to do. He wrote down my entire card number, exp date, and 3-digit code from the back on the receipt. I paid no attention and thought it was normal.
Fast forward two days and I receive a few text messages from my bank asking if I've made an appliance purchase for $659 in St Paul, MN as well as an online dating site in the U.K. for $60 and another for $15. My card was declined when I tried using it because of these purchases and I had to cancel the card and order a new one.
I will wait at the airport next time instead of risking my card number being stolen again. The driver was rude when dropping me off and I won't pay to be treated like that. read more
