During my recent trip to Disneyworld, I booked a private van through Quicksilver to transport our group to our hotel. After making a reservation online, I realized I selected an incorrect return date and sent a change request to Quicksilver via their website. The day before our departure, Quicksilver denied that they recieved this change request and wanted to charge me an extra fee of $50 to change the reservation (in addition to the existing transportation cost).

Although I understand that these types of miscommunications happen, I was quite appalled by their customer service. I spoke with the owner in an attempt to reach a compromise. Although I remained composed, he began yelling at me so loudly that I had to hold the phone away from my ear. I said that I did not feel that it was appropriate for him to raise his voice, to which he said, "ma'am, I am going to hang up on you" and did so. My partner called him back to try and sort things out, but he was also treated quite abrasively. Needless to say, we were shocked by the poor customer service provided by this company.

Our group decided to use a taxi van to return to the hotel, which cost $66, $1 more than the one way price of Quicksilver's private van. If you are planning on using this company, you may want to consider other forms of transportation or alternate van companies to avoid having a similar experience.
