Would rate these guys at zero stars if I could. So I book a pick-up for my family flying into Portland International. I give the guy all the info over the phone, including my Dad's cell phone number and all of that. The guy indicates the driver would send my dad a text message with his location and color of vehicle and additional details. I explain to the guy that my Dad is elderly and can't receive/send text messages, and to please call his cell phone instead. Guy on phone indicates "no problem".
My elderly parents, sister, and little niece arrive at PDX and try to locate the car without any luck. I wasn't there, so I don't know all the details there, only that my family couldn't locate the car and driver. One would think the driver would call my Dad's cell phone and if he couldn't reach him - leave him a voicemail. No voicemails. My sister called their main number trying to find out what's going on - no answer, voicemail picks up on their end. It was 32 degrees outside, elderly parents (and my dad has cancer), sister, a child, and a collection of bags. They are NOT going to go searching high and low for a phantom driver in 32 degree weather - and had no choice but to scramble to find another way home.
So a bit later on that same night (before I knew any of this was going down), I get a call basically saying where is my family and why haven't they called the service. The guy continues to tell me the driver had apparently called my dad several times with no answer. I tell the guy that I'd call my dad and find out where they are. Needless to say, my dad picks up on the first ring and indicates he received NO calls from the driver and NO voicemails. Further, my sister DID call them to try and find out what was going on. Why didn't the driver have the common sense to call my Dad if they couldn't locate each other?
Things happen, wires get crossed, and sometimes things get confused. Understand that I'm not writing this review because of that. Stuff happens. I'm writing this review because of how this place chose to handle the situation. Taking absolutely no accountability in their part of the confusion, becoming argumentative, and further, pressing me to pay them. Are you kidding me? Pay you for a service we never received? I think not. So after I personally have this type of conversation with them, this guy calls my dad and has a similar rude conversation with him. Suddenly they appear to be able to reach my Dad's cell phone! These people calling my elderly father who's battling cancer and being rude to him really pissed me off and was utterly inappropriate.
Not only did they lose the fair for my family, I will be coming up to Portland every month for the next six to eight months and need transportation each time. Needless to say, I'll definitely NOT be using these people. And if they choose to call me or my father again, I will share my experience with every business contact I have in the Portland area - which is an extensive list.
We will *never* use these people again *ever*. Not ever, ever, ever. Hope that's clear enough.
** Update ** After apparently seeing my review, the owner called me to apologize, and to offer a free ride. I appreciated the apology. Although, my review still stands as an account of what happened last night. read more
