I have been using On Time Limousine for more than ten years, and I have never been disappointed. They are always punctual and communicate well about timing, etc. In this era of ride-sharing apps, On Time Limousine is a car service that you can really count on to get you where you need to be. You don't use On Time Limo because it's the cheapest option (it's not) but you use them because they will reliably show up and get you to your destination on time. read more

We hired a town car for my daughter's prom. James and the staff at On Time were so friendly, funny, accommodating, and professional that I nearly wanted to attend prom myself! The driver, Mr. Dean was exemplary and maintained amazing communication; everyone had a fantastic time. I truly appreciate On Time as they made the night extra special. read more

I called at the last minute to arrange car service for my daughter and a friend who were attending a concert at the Oakland Arena. James was so helpful, knowledgeable, and kind! They were dropped and picked up in a perfect spot! It was safe and reliable. I am grateful to have found On Time Limousine and will definitely us them again in the future! I would give more than 5 Stars if possible!!!! read more

On Time has been my go-to for many, many years. Look no further for professional, dependable, excellent service every time.

On time, courteous, comfortable, friendly, and good driving skills. I will be a repeat customer.

Have used On Time Limo more than a handful of times and have had a good experience every time. They are in fact on time, courteous and reliable. Making a reservation is extremely easy and they are friendly. From SFO - SOMA one way it cost ~$55. Not cheap, but not too bad. If it's that or paying for parking for a week, it doesn't look relatively so bad. If you use them to pick you up from the airport, they call you as soon as you land to check in with you about baggage and let you know the number to call once you get out to the curb. They wait in the cell phone waiting lot so they are no more than a few minutes away! They even usually provide you with water bottles for the ride. read more

"You see? Never be late for a plane with a girl. 'Cuz a girl runs like a girl-- with the little steps and the arms flailing out... You wanna make this plane, you've gotta run like a man! Get your knees up!" - Jerry, to Elaine in The Airport I've got great friends and loving family... but an SFO Airport pickup at Midnight? Nah... I can't lay that on them. Who ya gonna call? OTL !! Emailed On Time Limousine (OTL) from NYC the early morning the day I needed a midnight pickup... Got a response quickly from Tiffany and two iPhone emails later I'm confirmed & locked in. I'm given the driver's name (Stephanie) and assured to receive a call on my mobile minutes after we land. Flight was delayed a bit and I shot off a msg. to Tiffany that we might be a little late. Coast to coast flight later, we land @ SFO and Stephanie texts us to meet her right outside baggage claim... 5 minutes later, we're on our weary/sleepy way home. Ask anyone... normally I like a little chit-chat, but Stephanie knew instinctively to keep it simple and take us home. Crisp & clean town car, bottled water, tissue on hand in a spacious car, efficient website, quick communications, last minute accommodations, strong & silent Stephanie - I'll be looking to them again for our airport transfers, thanks for that! read more

James was such a pleasure to work with! Being from out of state it was such a relief to find fairly priced and extremely reliable limousine service for my daughter's wedding. James was always quick to respond and his flexibility on changes that I had to make last minute really saved my sanity. Our drivers were super professional and accommodating. I couldn't have found a better limo service. Thank you so much for helping make our special day and night even more special. read more

On Time Limousine - Limos Near Me

Caution: They have some issues with the truthfulness of their website. They list the a flat rate fare to SFO for $74 on their website. Given that they're based in the east bay, one might think that's pretty close to the real price, but aha, there's of course an asterisk (*) indicating that one needs to call for a real quote. The real quote? 50% higher. So, I asked where the $74 fare actually applied, as I'm only a couple miles from the Bay Bridge. The person on the phone, said, "I don't have to tell you that." Ah ok...hmm...cough, cough. For a company with such good reviews, one wouldn't expect sneaky pricing like this. Let's just be upfront and list your fares honestly. Update: the business owner, who apparently answered my call, has decided to add a comment that I'm a fake reviewer and send me a nasty e-mail. After almost 120 reviews and 2 years of Elite status, I can assure him that I'm real and that this business has pretty bad customer service! There are a couple other reviews that have had "bait and switch" pricing en-route...yikes. read more

As good as it gets! I have used On Time to get to the airport, but Saturday night we needed to have reliable transportation to celebrate a birthday. Dean was our driver and he was excellent. I warned him that he would possibly be dealing with some feisty, wild women (we were!) and he took it all in stride. He was such a gentleman and treated us with respect. Even though some of us were shouting something about "needing some dick" at the end of the night. Of course, I wasn't shouting that particular phrase. Thinking that, yes; shouting, no. read more

I rented two limos from them for my wedding day. One for me and my entourage, and another for my husband and his groomsmen, because we stayed at different hotels. As any wedding, we were on a tight schedule. The limos were suppose to pick us up at 4pm and bring us to a specific location for pictures before the ceremony; a first glance. Bottom line, we have no pictures of a complete wedding party because THIS LIMO SERVICE WAS LATE. They were 30 mins late picking me up and a whole hour late picking my husband up. The photographers and videographers that we paid extra to be at the locations, we're waiting there for us and it never even happened. What's worst yet, my husband had to map quest the location on his iPhone and direct the driver how to get to the ceremony site instead of enjoy his time having a designated driver with his buddies right before he got married. read more

At the moment, I am awaiting a return email or phone call from them to resolve the charge that I was told was one way from the east bay to SFO...$159. OUCH! I have a quote from James for a drop off and pickup a week later for $170--unfortunately I couldn't pull up the email on my phone to show him. Right now I am feeling like I just got the bait and switch on pricing. As to making the reservation, that was relatively seamless and James took care of my quote within 24 hours. The driver called me 25 minutes before arrival to let me know he was on his way and would be on time. We arrived to the airport even a few minutes earlier than the designated time. Other than being told a different price from what I was quoted, the service has been excellent. I write this in the hopes that I can improve the rating to 4 stars and give them praise for fixing what was clearly a communication mistake between James and the driver. read more

We have used On Time Limo for three years, to and from OAK and SFO. The driver has been either Dean or Stephanie. 1. They are totally reliable. Always on time. 2. They speak American English. 3. The limos are always clean and comfortable. 4. The cost is about the same as a taxi. 5. The drivers are interesting to talk to but they have enough sense not to bother you when you do not feel like talking. What more could you want in a Limo service? We'll use these guys forever. read more

Recommended! After reading all the 5 star yelp reviews I felt more than comfortable proceeding with reserving OTL for our wedding day and we're really glad we did. James is the man. Great communication, totally reliable, and he arrived 15 minutes early. They stuck to the original price quoted, and were more than happy to make several trips to and from our wedding venue during our event to shuttle some of our guests to the closest BART station and/or their hotels. James was super friendly and put us at ease when we experienced some crazy unexpected traffic around the UC campus due to a game. The 10 passenger limo was in great condition, the stereo was easy to use (super glad I had pre-burned a wedding limo mix! :) ), and the complimentary bottles of champagne were cold and tasty. Our bridal party was very impressed. If I had to do it all over, I would definitely go with OTL again. This was definitely another one of the easier wedding decisions we made. No complaints! read more

Wow, it sounds like Kiki hangs out with some INTERESTING people.......But what happens in the limo, stays in the limo! I agree that Dean was a good driver. I felt safe the entire time I was in his care. The price was reasonable for what we needed. HOWEVER, on Saturday nights I like to wear heels. High heels. The higher the better. When I'm getting picked up, I don't want to walk any further than needed in those heels - this applies to dates and limo drivers. Especially downhill. Especially especially after pre-partying. All that being said, I would use them again. ETA: It has been pointed out that if a certain princess had not made a last minute wardrobe change, the chariot would have been waiting in a more stiletto friendly location. Soooooooooooo, the review has been bumped from 4 to 5 stars. read more

Big freakin' fan of this place. I will preface this review by saying that it is based on only one experience, and should my future experiences differ, I will definitely update. I sent an email on Wednesday evening for a pick up on Friday. "...Do your online prices include airport fees & tax?...Yes." Sweet. My lady driver (Yes, lady driver...I've never had one. And, I was stoked, let me tell you.) was right on time. She went this crazy way to the airport, which I asked about, and was a result of having a GPS that redirected her when there was too much traffic on 880...I get to the airport in 20min from the Laurel District in Oakland. Sweet, again. When I return, I check my email--"I hope everything with your service went well. I noticed you didn't have return service--please let us know if we can set this up." I didn't happen to need the return. But, they were so polite and helpful at every turn. It makes me want to give these folks my money, and I don't part with it easily. I feel like a crotchety old man when I say this, but service is underrated, and these people BRING IT. I will be calling them again. read more

I used them to pick up my in-laws for my wedding back in March. I dealt w/ James most of the time. He's always so polite and so informative. Their rate is really one of the best around also. They were very accommodating and professional throughout the whole experience. I also had them take my 5 year old stepson along w/ my in-laws. They had their own child seat available for my stepson, as well as the option to help us install our own if that's preferred. They had a few drivers that are very experienced with kids, so that was very assuring. Anyway, my experience with them had been so positive and I would absolutely use them again. They saved me the headache on my wedding day. read more

I just turned 40 (yeah!) and my women friends and I planned a night out on the town. The limousine was clean, modern, fully stocked and comfortable. We took the birthday package and were blessed to have Dean as our driver. I cannot give enough positive feedback about our experience with Dean. He was on time and took care of a limousine full of 8 grown & feisty women, partying like rockstars, and in every way made our experience completely relaxed. We didn't have to worry about anything. We felt safe and secure even when we were in and out of the car like banshees. It wasn't just this, it was a zillion little things, assisting us in physically getting in and out of the car, always being where he said he was going to be, even a sense of protectiveness for us was totally felt and overall him having a calm and extraordinary professional attitude. Dean you totally ROCK! I hope you know how much your service meant to us and if you have supervisors (maybe you are the boss? because you certainly set a standard in service I wont forget!) I hope they know what a value you are. I will be using On Time Limo service for everything now on. read more

Stood me up today. No call - nothing. If it weren't for allowing 20 minutes of screwup time and a whole bunch of luck we would have missed our flight out of SFO. Feels like I can no longer trust or count on On Time Limo to get me where I need to go. read more

Since my review three years ago, I've used On Time Limousine (specifically the sedans, never the limos) on perhaps a dozen more occasions, not just to and from the airport but also in other situations where driving myself and/or using a taxi were options but where OTL seemed the most reliable (and least stressful) choice; one example is accompanying a friend to Kaiser at 6 am to check in for an 8 am operation. They've invariably been on time. Every driver drives well and is good company whether I and any companions are in a conversational mood or not. They've been wonderful about scheduling, the most impressive occasion being when I called at 8 pm on a Saturday evening on behalf of a friend who'd just learned she needed to be at the SF Airport nine hours later, at 5 am Sunday morning. I assumed that what I was asking was impossible as well as unreasonable, but they made it happen. Haven't had a single experience with them that didn't rate "five stars." read more

Yeah. Who ARE these people that Kiki G hangs around? We all know that this sweet little Indiana girl was saying nothing inappropriate. And we know this because I said so...not because I actually remember any of it. Anyway - Dean is a fabulous driver. And thanks to his fabulous driving, I was able to not be the DD for once, and have fun with the Kiki's other crazy friends read more

Believe the bad reviews! Called and confirmed reservation and was told to email addresses, which we did. Gave phone number to contact. When they didn't show up we called and were told we didn't respond to email so they didn't send car. The email gave pricing which isn't what we were told, and stated "if this is acceptable, I'll forward an online invoice..." First off pricing wasn't what we we quoted and secondly when we called and spoke with owner and he was non apologetic and offered no solution other than we might be able to have one there in a half an hour. He stated they sent an email, but it was sent to an iPhone email address that isn't my primary email address and was never asked what email to contact, which is why I gave the phone number. As the other poor rankings point out we ordered a limo for a special occasion and you are depending on them to be there and/or make it right, they don't. Worst it just seemed THEY DON'T CARE! read more

On Time Limousine is a fantastic service. James was easy to coordinate with and Francisco was an absolute treat as a driver. We got a limo for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Francisco drove us to Healdsburg to a wine tasting room, then drove us to dinner, then picked us up and drove us back home. We changed our itinerary several times (as we couldn't decide if we had enough time, etc.) and he totally went with the flow. My sister even had to kick him out while she pumped in the back of the limo and he was so pleasant and easy-going about the whole experience! Prices are incredibly reasonable, the drivers are reliable & "on time," the company checked in with me prior to the event, they went with any schedule change I had, and they gave us the perfect amount of privacy. They also let you bring in your own food and beverages! The only thing I wished our limo had was an ipod connector so we could play music on our ipod. I highly recommend On Time Limo and will definitely use them again! read more

Just used them again-- they are STILL the best. I wouldn't dream of any other way to get to the airport. Using them again next week. Thank you, On Time Limo! You KICK ASS. read more

Not as cheap as a cab, but they offer value for the price. I had to go into the hospital in SF for surgery, and be there at 6AM. The reservation was easy, they called to confirm before pickup, and the car and driver were great. It's worth the money to not deal with the usual hassels with cab companies. read more

Awesome! This is my first review, but I've used Yelp all the time. It's about time I contributed. Our wedding day went smoothly for the most part and OTL helped made it happen. They've been very responsive from the beginning to the end. Dean (our driver) called an hour ahead to let us know he'll be there on time (no pun intended). Sure enough, he arrived earlier than scheduled. We made several different stops and he played it cool the entire day. Although we can't say the same about the tempurature. Thanks Yelpers and OTL. read more

We're off to the airport again, so I called another limo service (to remain nameless) that had a coupon mailer, and somehow their discounted rate climbed $8 higher than On Time Limo's standard rate. On Time does it again! You guys rock. read more

How can you fit 8 passengers with luggage into one stretch limo? Well, no other limo service could but this guy DID. Great service, great price and "On Time" is not just the name of the business, it's what he does. He made our family trip to Hawaii a memorable one. I highly recommend this service. read more

Location, People, Edible Stuff. Okay well they pick you up so the location is your deal lol! People - Are absolutely great! On time and very personable. Dean was my driver and I have called and requested him a few times now for rides to the airport or SF. Edible stuff - Hope you can cook, or know where to stop for a bite lol. All in all the best taxi service I have ever used in the Bay area! read more

I used these folks to help my 88 year old mother fly down to southern California to see her Grandkids for Christmas. It could not have gone better. Great communication, very precise on the pricing, very helpful with her needs at the airport. If it wasn't for their ability to fiollow through on every step we wouldn't have been able to work the trip out. I recommend them highly. read more

These guys are the best! Last week we arranged for a ride to the Oakland Airport. Our timing happened to coincide with the large tanker explosion that happened on 880 which closed both directions of the highway. Our driver took a series of back roads that still got us to the airport on time! In addition, our pick up from the Airport went smooth as silk. Both of our drivers were friendly, professional and made us feel taken care of. So a big a thank you and a very high recommendation for OTL. read more

What can I say that hasn't been said? In the East Bay cabs are unreliable, to be kind. It's so nice to have some accountability with trips to the airport. Case in point: I hired them in October for an airport round-trip...to the airport was fine...but on the pick-up, the driver was crazy-late...we were standing outside the airport for about 20 minutes, which is forever with three screaming kids...then when the guy finally shows, the car is in a "used" state -- had been driving around a bachelor party all day...trash, half-empty booze bottles, video, etc. After I complained, OTL comped us the trip. Perfect resolution, but surprising nonetheless. Just used them again and the round-trip was flawless...we will use OTL exclusively from here on out. read more

I've lost count of how many times we've used On Time Limousine to get to and from the airport. Every time we go for two weeks or more. Dean has been our driver, on time, as the name promises, friendly and professional. He has bottled water if we want it and he remembers my preference for 91.1 on the radio. We always feel in good hands and wouldn't consider another means of transport to OAK or SFO. Dean and On Time have even replaced our former preference, to stay at a motel near SFO that offered a Park and Fly program. It feels safer being driven home after a long flight than driving. read more

We decided to try On Time Limo again based on the recent reviews. They remembered that we had a missed connection about 18 months ago and offered to make it right this time. The 6:30 am pickup was early and helpful; the airport pickup almost a month later was right on time and the driver even helped bring the bags into the house. Both drivers were personable and skillful. We'll definitely use OT Limo again. read more

when trying to figure out the easiest way to get to the oakland airport without using our car, i allowed myself to believe that i could be the type of person who could use a car service. at least for a quick ride to and from the airport. after a quick search here at yelp, i decided to contact on time limousine. they quoted me a decent fare, likely the same as what a cab ride would cost. within a few minutes i had a confirmation number. as promised, my driver called me a few hours before the trip to the airport, confirming his arrival time. very friendly chauffeur, dean, arrived punctually and quickly delivered me to the airport. as promised, he rang again, seven days later, once our plane had landed in oakland. he was ready to pick us up as soon as we had finished with baggage claim. a quick trip back home and we were done. easy. professional. respectful. i will always take a car service now, at least to and from the airport. and i'll be calling on time limousine each time. read more

We used On Time Limo to travel from OAK to downtown SF (Stephanie drove us) and back again (with Dean on the return). We had an outstanding experience: prompt, clean cars, used a couple short-cuts to avoid traffic, reasonable price--it was an all-around great experience. We will definitely use them on future trips. read more

After reading some good reviews on Yelp I tried this Limo service for the first time 3 years ago. Since then I've probably called them for airport transportation at least 20 times. Sometimes just for myself on a business trip, sometimes for my family, including a 2 year old with a car seat that has to be put in the limo in the backseat. Our trips have gone smoothly every single time. (Even though we have sometimes had glitches, such as arriving late, or having to change the pickup time.) I've owed them a review on Yep for a long time, given how excellent they are: *On time every time. *Good quality, clean, sedans. *(Most importantly) Excellent drivers. Not your Bay Area weird taxi style, but just normal, sympathetic, PROFESSIONAL drivers who are no drama, friendly, and calm. Thanks James! read more

What a great night. Making the reservation was easy and smooth. Everyone I spoke to was professional and helpful and straight forward. the prices are great and sooo fair! We had to make a few changes the day of and OT Limo stayed flexible and easy thru the whole process. A real "whatever you'd like is what we will do" type of service approach. Our driver Dean was perfect. The whole experience was grand! Looking forward to calling them again for the next adventure. read more

Recently used On Time Limo for a bachelor party in SF. Here's my review: 1) Reservation process - 4 stars. Efficient and professional. James did an excellent job though he could be difficult to get a hold of at times. James' business partner was seamless in handling questions if James was not available 2) Timeliness - 5 stars. Limo arrived 15 minutes ahead of schedule 3) Limo condition - 5 stars. New, clean, organized and stocked all the right glassware plus ice and water 4) Service - 5 stars. Courteous, safe, patient, respectful... everything that you could ask for. Dean was our driver Overall - 5 stars Highly recommend read more

A group of us used this limo service for a birthday celebration. I thought things went well, until they overcharged my friend on false accusations, as well as an overtime rate that was higher than what was agreed upon. Very unprofessional! read more
