We booked Matt to drive our group of 14 girls from Rosemary Beach to Destin (about a 1-hour drive) for a bachelorette boat day at Crab Island, and he was amazing! Super polite, respectful, and so accommodating; especially when we came back soaking wet from the rain. He even offered an early pickup just in case. Highly recommend! read more

The 5 Ride team has been driving us for the past 3 years. We typically need service to and from the airport but have taken shorter trips for our large group around Destin and surrounding areas. The drivers are ALL exceptional and take great pride in their service. Not only are they friendly and accommodating, they are very punctual! I commented on Chris being early for our early morning trip to the airport and he assured me that in his mind if he's "on time, he's late" He knows traveling is stressful so he makes a point to make sure you don't have to worry about transportation! We will always call this team when we're in the area! read more

Matt treated us so well throughout our whole experience while in Destin. Their company definitely goes the extra mile to make sure you have the best experience possible. We never had issues with them showing up on time. He's not afraid to shoot the shit with you, but also doesn't overwhelm you with talking! He also pays attention to his driving, which unfortunately seems harder and harder to come by now days.If you want a dependable mode of transportation, I highly recommend the 5Ride. The boys know customer service. 6 stars is more accurate. read more

Was there last weekend for a bachelorette trip. Matt took me and the other 13 other girls around all weekend. His professionalism and promptness was great! We had such a blast in the transfers from listening to our favorite music to playing games. Matt made sure we were comfortable and safe. Definitely recommend! read more

Absolutely terrible. We were driving home from a ballgame and the driver cut me off. Fortunately nobody was in the lane next to us and when I got around them (because after he darted in front of me, he slowed waaaaay down... in the left lane) I saw that he was on his phone. My son took a pic of the license plate and the phone number plastered all over the van. I called the number and the driver of the van answered and said he was also the owner of the company. He said he didn't pull in front of me because he had "plenty of space" and that maybe I was the one looking at my phone. He said he wanted his customers to have a good view over the bridge we were crossing when he pulled in front of me. Unsafe and illegal. read more

No one has showed up, and when I call their number, it says their vmail is full. Now trying to call other taxi companies- because if I can't find a ride quick I'm gonna miss my flight.

Booked 3 days in advance for a 4:30 ride to the airport. He showed up at 5:05. Matt was our driver and was very rude and unprofessional. We had to call 3 times after our pick up time to make sure that we were still getting a ride to the airport. The driving was very bad and unsafe as well, no turn signals were used the entire ride. I definitely would not recommend this service! The man also gave a half assed apology "sorry I'm late guys" does not cut it when I'm waiting for a flight. Absolute clown! read more

We took $5 ride recently. We have had success in the past and it's a great concept. However, Tom was our driver this particular time. He was playing music on his phone mounted on the dash. He spent so much time looking at the phone and pressing buttons that his eyes were not on the rode. He was swerving all over the place, nearly hit a curb and missed the turn which he then swerved to round back. It was a very scary and unsafe experience. The whole purpose was to not have to drive after drinking and be safe. My friends had the same complaint about Tom on a previous ride. I'll make sure we don't get Tom as our driver next time. read more

Worst experience of my life!! Flew in from TX for a wedding during June. On the day of the wedding we were picked up (late) and I was the unfortunate one packed in the far corner of the 4th row. After we all loaded in the shuttle I started feeling nauseous and made them stop. I jumped out the back to the front seat because as the driver claimed he had a schedule to keep. During the entire ride I was vomiting profusely out the window and down the side, feeling dizzy and cramping up and face going numb. He abruptly dropped us off and I was carried inside where I continued having issues. After 30 minutes of trying to feel better and keep water down I eventually had to be picked up in an ambulance and rushed to the hospital. I was on the verge of a heat stroke and had to get an IV of fluids. I have no medical issues or previous history, never been to the hospital, take any medication and am extremely healthy. Two days later the same driver picked us up in the same vehicle with no ac again in the middle of summer! So what should've cost $5 is now costing me over $2500 and I missed the entire wedding ceremony!! They obviously have no concern for their passengers. I would rather walk than take that death trap ever again! read more

We would like to let you know that Yelp is actively suppressing our good reviews. You can see the good reviews we have below the negative ones we got many years ago. We have gone above and beyond to evolve our company into what it is today. We have put all our effort into learning from our mistakes and would love to prove it to you. The 5 Ride of Destin is a Karaoke shuttle company based out of Destin Florida. We have screens in our vans that play karaoke songs, real microphones as well as party lights. It is a lot of fun. We specialize in weddings, airport transportation, conventions, bachelor/ette parties, large groups, transportation to pontoon boats, bars, festivals, concerts, J-1 transportation to job sites, etc. We are one of Destin's most reliable group transportation companies. We are a local family company owned by two brothers Matthew and Jake Gorman. We have been in operation for 9 years. Our mission is to provide safe and affordable transportation and have some fun along the way. Very often we have so much fun the customers would rather keep riding around and singing rather than go to where they are going. We have clean, well-maintained vehicles and provide warm and friendly service. Check us out for yourself. Give us a call and either Jake or I will answer your call persoanally and make sure you have a great experience.

I requested a pick-up at 5:00am, and Joe said he might be 5 or 10 minutes early. He was actually more like 15 minutes early, and texted my phone to let me know: "I'm outside. I'm early. Take your time!" He was cheerful and professional, and regaled my better half and me with local information (for example, I never knew the white sand at the Pensacola beaches were imported from up North), and made sure to point out old neighborhoods in Pensacola that I had said I remembered from a few years back. The taxi ride cost a little more than quotes from other places (it was $50 for the trip from Milton to Pensacola), but when you need to bank on someone actually arriving at your house at 5 in the morning, the peace of mind of knowing they will actually show up (and show up early, even! And with a cheery disposition!) is worth it. Count on Joe for a friendly & dependable ride to your destination. We were very pleased!

Matt from The 5 Ride was absolutely incredible! From the start, he went above and beyond--not only suggesting airport pickups for our guests, but coordinating every single one with minimal input from us. It was such a relief to have someone so proactive and organized handling the logistics. On the night of our wedding, Matt seamlessly managed all the pickups and drop-offs, ensuring everyone got where they needed to be without a hitch. His professionalism, attention to detail, and calm demeanor made a huge difference in our day. We truly felt taken care of. If you're looking for reliable, thoughtful, and top-tier wedding transportation, The 5 Ride is the way to go. Thank you, Matt, for helping make our celebration stress-free and unforgettable! read more

We used The 5 Ride multiple times during our wedding weekend stay in Destin! Each experience was wonderful! Matthew worked with us to create a perfect schedule to ensure both us and our guests got where we needed to be at the right time on wedding day! We also used The 5 Ride for beach and airport shuttles for us and our wedding guests during our stay in Destin! Each ride was just as pleasant as the last! Matthew was professional, courteous, kind, punctual, flexible, and communicated well! The shuttle service was very affordable and more reliable than a ride share service like Uber! We highly recommend and will definitely be using The 5 Ride during any future trips we take to Destin! read more

Jake picked us up at the Airport! He took us to the Harley Shop in Fort Walton Beach and waited for us while we shopped and hung around outside where they were cooking Hot Dogs and Hamburgers for their customers. He then took us grocery shopping and helped us with all our luggage in the condo. Matt picked us back up to take us to the Airport and he was right on time. They both had a great personality and treated us well. We will definitely will use them again when we return to Destin. Debbie H Raleigh North Carolina read more

Thumbs up to Chris of 5Ride for top-notch transport from Ft. Walton airport to Grayton Beach on 5/9. Very personable guy, very knowledgeable about the area and provided helpful info on where to eat and things to do. More importantly, UBER AND LYFT WERE BOTH UNRESPONSIVE to our request for a ride and we were really pleased 5Ride was there to provide quick and timely service -- at a similar price point! There's no need for you to wait on a sketchy rideshare service ... go with these guys! You'll be glad you did. read more
