We used you-planet as private transportation from our Disney resort to Clearwater beach for a day trip, and it was amazing! My husband and I previously took shared transportation for this same trip, and this private trip was far superior in every way!
After I booked the trip, Andrew, the owner, contacted me to provide me details/photos of the van we would use and also asked me questions on what we were planning for our trip. He took the information and then as the week of our trip arrived he reached out frequently to discuss alternate options as Hurricane Eta had a very unpredictable path that week. Thankfully the hurricane had already passed the day our trip was planned, but it was peace of mind knowing we had options if the storm did end up impacting our plans.
Day of trip, we got picked up at the time/location of our choice, which differs from the shared trip where you have to meet at a certain time/location, this saved us an Uber trip as well and gave us extra sleeping time (which was needed after a week at Disney!). The van was immaculately clean, large, and included a car seat, ipads, headphones, chargers, water.
Once we arrived in Clearwater we got dropped off at the hub of Clearwater Beach, near Pier 60. Again, this was a location of our choice and we could have chosen any drop off but we planned a boat trip and lunch, so this was convenient. The van found parking right next to the beach and after lunch we were able to utilize the beach gear Andrew has available in the van. This extra offering really was the most helpful as it allowed us to not have to carry a big ole beach bag, or have to rent a chair/umbrella or buy any other beach necessities. He had a wagon, towels, sand castle building kit, water, sunscreen, boogie boards, you name it!
At the end of the day we dropped off the beach equipment to the van, and then enjoyed Pier 60 nightly vendors and kids play area before sitting down to catch the sunset. If you have never seen a Gulf side sunset, this is a must do! As a final icing on the cake, Andrew had sparkling juice and chocolates for my husband and I anniversary.
So in short, Andrew is very attentive to detail and wants to make sure you enjoy his services! He went above and beyond to make our day perfect!
Also, shout out to his helpers, George and Mary! They were very kind and we enjoyed getting to know them, as well as Andrew! read more
