I researched a couple transport options and different car companies before settling on Go Ride as I…read moreneeded to transport 3 kids which all required a car seats as per California Law. Uber car seat didn't seem to be a reliable option and ride hailing services required a super far transfer to another pickup location. The bus was also triple the time to our destination near the cruise port. Go Ride was very clear about their pricing and they were detailed when answering a follow up question I had about pickup time which was fortunate as our flight ended up getting in 30 mins earlier than scheduled. Our driver, Oscar, arrived early to pick us up - I received an iMessage from him before landing using my airline's in-flight wifi - I was able to send him updates as we got off the plane and got our bags. He pulled up within 5 mins of my last message when we had our bags conveniently right outside the terminal. It was so easy I didn't even need to rent the $8 USD luggage cart and my kids didn't have enough time to complain about any wait. Oscar was really helpful with our bags and had all the car seats already installed correctly! All seats were facing the correct direction, solid, tight and the only adjustment needed was for the actual seat belts themselves to secure the kids. Oscar offered us bottles of water and we were off to the hotel. On the way we had a nice chat and he was totally OK with the youngest child crying for a bit while navigating LA's notorious traffic (he said it was light but to me it was busy). Drop off at the hotel was smooth and we tipped in cash for great service - he impressed us! Definitely would recommend to anyone especially families looking for a smooth experience getting anywhere from LAX airport. I will be using them again for future travel. Pricing: reasonable and competitive for door to door private car service with car seats. Communication: from booking to actual day of it was the right amount of detail Quality: car and car seats were super clean Safety: our driver Oscar was safe while navigating LA's freeway and street traffic. Car seats were properly installed and well maintained. Convenience: Door to door service was amazing and easy - I had bags but didn't require a luggage cart at all. Time saved = more relaxation time = less whiny little ones Thanks again Oscar and Go Ride!

We received a text from our driver, Rich, to know when we unboarded the plane. He was very kind,…read moreknowledgeable, and a great driver. We usually rent cars when we're in the area, but if we are looking for shuttle service, we will use Go Ride again.

Well we made it to/from LAX alive and in time. I will say John was communicative and let us know…read morehow and where to meet, and let us know when he was on his way and if there were any delays. Otherwise, his driving was a little scary; we were picked up not super early in the morning (between 9-11am), but he looked like he was struggling and swerved 2-3 times to stay in his lane. The van was also pretty filthy on the inside; there were nut shells on the floor and didn't seemed it was cleaned for several weeks. I would not recommend especially if your family has any food or pet allergies.

Some things to note in case it's a dealbreaker for your specific situation!…read more - The customer service line doesn't really feel 24/7. For example, I've called in regard to two different booked trips in the past month and only ever got through to someone once (out of about 6 calls total and one unanswered text). - They tend to switch drivers day of trip due to availability and timing which I can totally understand but if you're someone who gets anxious about switch ups like that - just something to note. - There isn't really a way to modify or cancel a trip reservation easily off their website. You'd have to call but as I've mentioned, it was tough getting in touch. However! The little chat function on the website worked pretty quick and they were responsive at first in helping. Then I got ghosted mid-convo bc I think whoever on the other side thought I was done with my questions/asks. - There is a 5% cancellation fee due to the company's bank? This is regardless of time before trip. There are other reputable car service companies that give full refunds for cancellations as long as it's at least an hour before reserved time. This company is cheaper than the ones I'm thinking of so there is balance there! But can get complicated, if like me, you're booking for business trip which is an expense but hard to expense a cancellation fee on top of a different res elsewhere. But also, I had one experience where there wasn't any issues with pick up other than the driver switch which had us confused momentarily. We got over it fast and was nothing but a hiccup! But again, if you're sensitive about things like that - just something to be aware of so that nobody is surprised.

PROS: - everything can be booked online…read more - FAST responses - no hidden fees - driver arrived within 5 minutes of us walking to the passenger pick up area at LAX even when it was super crowded at midnight and we were in terminal 5 - didn't have to walk/go to the Uber pick up area at LAX - clean SUV car with PLENTY of space for car seat, checked bags, golf clubs, etc. - proper car seat installed for our toddler - kind driver, professional and very helpful We did tip our driver cash & he was not expecting it. When you are arriving at midnight with a toddler the last thing you want to do is wait for a car or have someone show up unprepared! Tips: - emailed confirming REAR facing toddler seat for xxx lb toddler - texted the driver right when we landed - texted him when we had one of our 2 bags from baggage claim & let him know the door number - then texted immediately when we got the bag so the timing lined up perfectly Will be using this company again in the future!

Absolutely love using this service! Rich and his team always provide excellent service and go above…read moreand beyond. Most recently, I needed to use the service for a pick up from UCLA to home for my baby Bruin who wanted to come home for the Halloween weekend. While I easily could have went with Uber, Rich gave me an incredible deal that came out to the same as Uber. Our driver was Harry. Not only was he amazing, but he was completely reliable and most importantly safe. The car was spacious enough for my Bruin to bring home laundry to do at home. So if you have a college student who needs to arrange a ride home, Happy Shuttle is definitely the place to call. They continue to exceed expectations and their prices are affordable. Will definitely be using them again!

We booked this service because of all the five-star reviews, but our experience was the exact…read moreopposite. For our roundtrip airport transport, we confirmed twice over the phone that we needed a rear-facing car seat and a vehicle that could fit five passengers with luggage. The driver showed up without the correct car seat, and the car was too small for our bags. When we brought this up, we were told the driver "forgot." This created a stressful and unsafe ride for our baby. On our return ride, the same driver was over 20 minutes late, joked on the phone that "no one's coming," and when we asked for an ETA, gave no clear answer. When my elderly father expressed frustration, the driver threatened to leave us at the airport. This was deeply unsettling--especially since the driver knew our home address. After the trip, I spoke with Rich (the manager), who acknowledged both incidents were unacceptable and promised a refund and a free ride to make it right. Neither happened. It's not about the money--it's the principle. The broken promises and continued lack of follow-through make me feel we were lied to just to de-escalate the situation. I don't take writing negative reviews lightly, but this experience was unacceptable. This company may have good ratings, but if something goes wrong, you're on your own. I would not trust them again--especially if you're traveling with children.

So it was kind of weird not knowing it was remote, but kind of cool because we were able to fly out and go. Initially we filled out paperwork via DocuSign and only had to scan our ID's over. So this was a plus because we didn't have to wait in any long lines!!! Upon landing they gave us access to the vehicle and the option from two shuttles, we end up taking the Budget shuttle, and when we got off it was about a minute walk to the car. Now this is when everything became amazing. We were expecting a clean car but the Tesla we got was immaculate inside and out. It felt brand new but had 30k+ miles on it. It also came with full-self drive so playing with it before we left was fun. It was able to self-park and came to us when we used the summon button! You got to try it, we scared my mom later in the day jejeje. It drove well, and we were able to go to San Diego and back without any issues. We did have to charge up twice but it was only $27!!!! Talk about bang for your buck!!! Their team was also very responsive when we had question's about charging and how returning the car works. So that was a plus! They also allowed us to change our drop-off location towards the end. Originally we were suppose to return the car to the Glendale location. However, they let us drop the car where we picked up at. As well as use the same shuttle to return to LAX. I think the only place they could have done better was the parking. Upon return all the spaces were filled so we had to wait a few minutes until someone left to drop the vehicle off. Also they were sold out of strollers/car seats for the little ones. Outside of that we had fun in their vehicle!! Overall really happy we found them, and we will definitely be using them for future rentals!! They were professional, and the process was smooth. I definitely recommend them if you need a car!!!

Our driver texted the evening before to confirm, and again when he was on his way the next morning. He drove a very large shuttle van with plenty of room for our double wide stroller and 3 pieces of luggage. If you request car seats, I suggest telling them the weight of your kids. I requested 2 forward facing car seats but our driver arrived with 1 forward facing car seat and 1 high back booster seat. Both my girls are under 35 pounds and the high back booster is for kids over 40 pounds so I wasn't very comfortable with that but we didn't really have a choice. I'd recommend they ask if the child weighs enough to use a booster before swapping it out. FYI they only take cash and they do not drive to/from Ontario airport.
