    I found this company through Google at 1 AM, and used their SMS service to reserve a cab.

    We used RDU Airport Shuttle to and from RDU recently. The communication with drivers was spot on…read more Arrival at home and RDU was on time. Vans were clean, and drivers were friendly and professional. No more Ubers for us when going to and from RDU. Maybe a few dollars more... but we'll worth it.

    We had a great experience with My RDU Airport Shuttle. I found this company on Yelp as a good…read morealternative to Lyft, Uber, and parking at Raleigh Durham International Airport (RDU). For this particular trip, My RDU Airport Shuttle made more sense than parking at the airport after doing the cost calculations. It cost $72 roundtrip, before tip, for My RDU Airport Shuttle to transport my wife and me from our home in Chapel Hill to RDU and back. It was a $33 *flat* fee plus $3 RDU Airport Authority fee each way. I tipped our drivers. I tipped the first driver with credit card. He had a Square card reader attachment for his phone. I tipped the second driver with cash. In comparison, at the time, rides with Lyft (Standard) and Uber (UberX) would have cost about $26 and $38, respectively, to get from Chapel Hill to RDU (one-way) using the set pickup time option. Note Lyft and Uber prices vary. Those just happened to be the prices I pulled at the time. My RDU Airport Shuttle isn't necessarily cheaper than using a ridesharing service, but ridesharing services aren't strictly in the business of transportation to and from RDU. I think there's some value in that with My RDU Airport Shuttle. For each of my rides with My RDU Airport Shuttle, I received detailed reservation confirmation emails and attached PDFs. They included clear instructions with what to expect both when departing RDU and when arriving at RDU. For our outbound flight, our driver, Ike, showed up to our home about 20 minutes early. He called and texted me to let me know he was outside. He told us to take our time. Ike wore a blazer over a Carolina T-shirt and picked us up in his Lincoln Town Car. It was nicer than your Standard Lyft or UberX. For our inbound flight, I received a text from our driver, Dexter, as soon as I turned on my phone after landing at RDU. He welcomed me to Raleigh/Durham and let me know that he had been tracking our flight. Per the company's instructions, we met Dexter at the designated pickup location: RDU "Prearranged Services" Zone 8 (purple sign). Zone 8 is for all airlines except Southwest. The Southwest pickup location is Zone 1. Dexter proudly wore his Raiders gear and picked us up in his minivan. Ike's car was unmarked. He also works for himself, Ike Transportation. Dexter's van was marked with "My RDU Airport Shuttle," phone number and web address. Both Ike and Dexter were professional, pleasant, and excellent drivers who provided smooth, safe, and comfortable rides. Thank you, Ike and Dexter. I would gladly use My RDU Airport Shuttle again. They have my recommendation.

    If i could give a zero, I would. They are scammers at this company. Angel took the ride request,…read morepassed it to Pope who then showed up for a clients ride and swiped his card, taking over $300 off of it, and then telling the client, he had no money on it. He refused to take him. This was a guy who had just gotten out the hospital and needed to return home. I guess he thought he could take advantage because he was at the shelter.....nope. Police were called and all of a sudden he returned the money to his card, which he said he never charged. Angel was a part of this scam. Shame on you both. Taxi 0058 should be taken out of rotation. Durham Police Thank you !!!!

    I'm somewhat conflicted as I write this review. On the one hand, it was a full party experience…read more On the other hand, it's not the best impression when folks on the street think you were smoking up on the ride to the bars... J called a few cabs to take us in to Chapel Hill from Alta Springs. This one was the first to call back and take the job. When we got in the first time, we noticed a polar bear hanging from the dash and a plexiglass cube that would light up. We thought that was fun, and got our driver's card for later. He presented his card in a shiny business card holder, making sure that we remembered him for later. And we did. Flash forward 10 hours, and we were ready to head back into town for a night of fun on Franklin Street. We called our friend Sam. Riding in his cab after dark is a completely different experience. He turns on the lights, meaning the sunshields in the front, the steering wheel, the plexiglass cube, and more. Then he turns on the smoke machine, while making sure that the radio is blasting the latest dance hits. And if that's not enough, he's got a light up grill in his mouth. This is a party van taxi if there ever was one. It was all fun and games until he let us out at Pantana Bob's, and all the smoke poured out. The looks on the faces of the far-from-sober patrons on the side walk were quite amusing. This time his card came in a business card holder that was shiny and had a dragon image on it. Most interesting cab ride ever.
