It depends - you will need to tip quicksilver too but they will meet you at baggage claim and also help with luggage.
My trip is in 16 days and rentals are finally under $200 but my Quicksilver booking is $150 so I decided to keep it.

A colleague of DH’s recommended “Florida Towncar Service”. Here is a link to their website:

Does anyone have experience with this service?
Someone in another thread just had a wretched experience with quicksilver. Canceled on them the night before the trip and then tried a $200 upsell.

What’s the new one similar to Mears Connect that looks like a train?
What thread?
That was me. I got it all sorted, but what a horrible experience:(
Sunshine Flyer I think

Based on these posts I emailed Quicksilver to get a quote for our vacation the week of April 24 2022. We are a family of 5- 2 adults 3 kids. I know we cannot use a sedan but I wanted a quote for a van. I said that much in the request. They emailed me back with a quote for the MUCH higher priced suv. SUV was like $50 more. Then they called me two nights back to back to confirm my reservation. I was ok with the call- but when I asked if we could have a van. They told me they don’t drive them anymore 
I told them we would be looking elsewhere. Just felt like they were really upselling me. Idk.

I’m using Sunshine Flyer at the end of the week. A little nervous because … new stuff. And I don’t know my return time pick up yet. They will email me 24 hours beforehand. 
Good or bad I will report back. Damn you, ME!

You didn’t get your DME return time until the day before either? How’s that different?
It sounds like something happened to their van (yup- I think there was one). It was not in great shape in September. My son went on and on about how he thought he was being picked up by a towncar and then he saw THAT van (something about it shaking when they hit 55 on the highway….)
I agree that it was up to them to honor the bookings they had and upgrade people.

Yup that’s it. Thanks
Based on the above we are seriously considering doing an Uber Family/XL- are we crazy? Anyone else Uber with a family?
@Kkalfordw trip report also mentioned Quicksilver tried to charge for an upgrade when they couldn’t supply what was reserved.
I had Quicksilver on a short list to call for transportation but I’m taking them off. 
Years ago we used Happy Limo. I had reserved a limo. They upgraded us to a stretch Hummer. It was slightly embarrassing to realize that beast was there to pick us up.
True, but we knew it was three hours before the flight.
Yes, it was discussed on both threads last night.
That what they should do, free upgrade. I’m going to take a look at Happy Limo— quicksilver is off my list too.
I had it anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 hours before depending on where my resort was in the pick-up line.
Sushine Flyer’s FAQ on their website says "the day before you check out, you’ll receive a confirmation email advising you of your motor coach departure time, which will be approximately 3 hours prior to your scheduled departure time for domestic flights and 4 hours prior to your scheduled departure time for international flights.
So it’s the same time frame. Plan on 3 hours if domestic and 4 if international.

We are headed to WDW in June and I really wanted to do Sunshine Flyer but our flight to leave is at 5:30 am and unfortunately, they only accommodate flights leaving as early as 7 am. I did a little research and found Florida Town Car to have the best rate. We are 5 adults and will have 3 bags, which means we will need a van. Also, we wanted to make a stop at Publix quick on our way to the hotel. Roundtrip our total came to $160. I submitted the form on their website and received a confirmation call that afternoon to go over everything in more detail. I am hoping all works out since this is my first time using a car service but so far, I am happy with their customer service.
