Everything went well. Pickup was on time, instructions were clear, and we had a good amount of free time once we arrived in Key West.

Better than the shuttle we tried last year, our friends and I had room to relax on the ride from Miami Beach. Would use it again.

No surprises on the fare, and the quote held for the two of us. Worth every dollar.

Friday morning, 42 bridges and ocean views kept our group busy the whole ride. Way better than driving ourselves, and we’d use it again for another trip.

Key West with coffee and snacks was a win. My partner and I ate what we packed and enjoyed the ride back.
