The car was clean and very nice, apparently I was being driven by the owner who was pitching in today. There was pleasant conversation, and I'm not usually big on taxi conversation. (I've paid a driver an extra $5 not to engage me.) He talked about his time in Chicago, and hanging out in the bleachers at Wrigley Field, and the economics of being poor, and the important thing is that I was at the airport fifteen minutes early.

This was my husband's and my first visit to Siesta Key, FL, and in case the traffic was heavy, we wanted the option to get a quick ride for cheap around the beaches and not have to take our big truck and find a place to park. The owner of the resort where we're staying said to try them. I called to get the low down, and the guy was polite and answered all my questions without problem. So I said that when the opportunity presents itself, I'd be calling for a ride because I had heard that the weekend was the time not to try to get around because the beaches are busy. So here we are yesterday, Sunday, and I've got to get to a restaurant in downtown beachdum before the close at 2:30p. I call at 1p to ask about how long before the "gentleman" can arrive at my resort, and was told about 20-25 min. OK -- it would be tight for a leisurely lunch, but I asked him to come and get us. We sat and waited and about 20 min. pass when I get a call on my phone and I say, "Are you out front?" He says, "Uh, I'm going to be about another 30 min because I'm stuck on the other side of the draw bridge and can't get there!" Well, now that means we won't even get to the restaurant until about 2p and will have to stuff lunch down, so I tell him that we're trying to get to a place before they close, and I appreciate his effort, but we've got to go and we'll just drive, so no thank you. We jump in our truck and start on our way when I receive a text from him that goes something like this: I don't know where you're from, Miss but around here we treat people with respect. I'm going to block your number so don't bother calling for another ride cause I'm blocking you! I couldn't believe it! I was not rude, I just couldn't wait any longer! Against my better judgement, I responded to his text saying, Go right ahead and block me because I'm blocking YOU! Where I come from, when people are counting on my business to be on time, we are on time! I will not only never call for a ride from you again, but I'm going to let EVERYONE on Yelp know about you as well! He had to get the last word before I actually blocked him and said, "I hope your lunch was worth the trouble." (whatever that meant) So, that is what I'm trying to warn you about. There are several taxi services here on Siesta Key, and I strongly recommend you call someone other than Surf Side Free Ride. You probably won't get a ride, but will get a nasty text for your wait time "trouble!" This guy was beyond rude.

When I wrote a review criticizing the company for the service I received from the Sarasota airport…read moreto my home I got a very ugly response from the owner Steve with a great deal of untruths. I expected him to be more humble but instead he blamed me. To start I do NOT have a medical condition, I had a sports injury and wanted to make sure that the driver would be helpful which I found only to be marginal. Also the previous company that I used did not dump me as the owner said. And his driver did ull up on the grass and mud expecting me to use my broken foot on a walker until I had him move yhe car. He harassed me about tip amount. I generally pay the first tip amount on credit card abd the extra I pay cash for the type of service. But it appears yhat yhd company does not do yhay. Payment and TIP is expected upon arrival, i gzvd the driver a total of $12.00 while in the car but that was apparantly not enough. He wanted to be topped before he helped me. I find it unusual thaf i couldn't pay for my trip ahead of arrival. COULD IT BD BECAUSE THE OWNERS WHO LIVE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY CANT ACCEPT PAYMENTS and must get driver who lives in the U,S. to do it? Weird. But thats only the beginning. The owner in his reponse to my review admitted that he was voice TAPING ME FROM HIS DASHCAM. The owner and driver are both committing a criminal act. He may be zble to point his DASHCAM in the front of the vehicle and not towards the passengers but voice recording, NO. IT IS ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO VIDEO OR VOICE TAPE ANYONE WITHOUT THEIR APPROVAL. SHUTTLE COMPANIES AND THEIR VEHICLES ARE NOT PUBLIC LIKE A BUS RIDE AND ARE CONSIDERED BY THE STATE TO BE PRIVATE. Therefore this company has been committing a crime with each of its passengers who are unaware that theg are being recorded.

They are fully licensed, insured, and professional. The vehicle is spotlessly clean, the owners /drivers (Stephen and Tracy) are unfailingly pleasant, and they were always on time. They are one of the few car services that will do car service to sites other than airports (though of course, they do that too). They are quite reasonably priced for what is essentially a private car service. I highly recommend this car service to anyone who needs reliable and high quality transportation services.

Everything was top notch - from the reservation process, to the excellent communication, to the timeliness, to the cleanliness of the vehicles. I was first drawn by the very reasonable prices of AMIT but was worried that pricing might equal budget service (i.e. Spirit Airlines). But, my concerns were totally laid to rest. The vehicles were sharp-looking and very clean - both look and smell. Our driver, Alan, (who owns the company) was very friendly, attentive, and gave us all kinds of great info about the area during our ride. One huge feature for us was that they also provided carseats. Most services make you bring your own, so this was a huge selling point for us! Overall, it was a very family-friendly experience and we would recommend AMIT to anyone!

Missed our flight due to utter incompetence on this company's part!…read more Our pre-booked car cancelled on us last-minute so we were scrambling to find someone else. This company states they could be with us in an hour. Called back and re-estimated it to be 45 minutes. He made sure we would use the service as the driver was traveling to us. We promised and stopped our search. After almost an hour we call to check and are told it would be another 20 minutes. Takes almost double that so by the time she's there we already know we'll never make it. The driver stated that the dispatch "didn't account for traffic". Their words! Lady was nice but her car stunk like cigarettes and I got a terrible headache from the stench. $1k later we are on a later flight. Received a request to give feedback and send a simple message stating what happened and they send me a nasty message telling me the driver was on time (100% not true) and to book ahead next time (we did!), then conceded and stated they "did their best".
