Re: Forum Sponsor: Quicksilver Tours & Transportation

We used Quicksilver, in December, for our transportation to and from the airport. Couldn't have been happier; would recommend to anyone considering a town car service.

Gregory, Thanks for your support. I have used Quicksilver in the past and will be using them again in April 2007. I recommend them to all my friends.

Hey, great! We were looking for a town car service for our next trip (the last one we used was less than ideal). We'll try Quicksilver next time and see how it goes!

We used Quicksilver on our last WDW vacation and now recommend them to everyone! Excellent service, friendly drivers, really great rates, they went out of their way to call us to confirm the pick up time and date two days before we left on our trip AND gave us a free upgrade because, as they said "No one else has booked the car, and you're nice people, you should have it." We won't use any other company!

Used Quicksilver again last week. Great service, friendly driver, nice clean car, on time pickup. We'll keep using them for sure.

Cool Thanks Gregory and staff

We are using Quicksilver for our trip in a couple of days. As always, Gregory and his crew are always very professional.

Question: Will they make a stop at the hotel and then drive on to EP with a oneway fare? My DH's dad is arriving later than we are, and it was save so much time in transport if he can just drop off his bags and then continue his ride to EP.

umm I visited the website.. it shows a $65 fare for Disney area but when I called and said we have a house in Winter Garden, you can see the MK fireworks from our porch, that's how close we are.. I was told it was $180 and he said we need to take a detour because there was no direct route to the house.. DH came home while I was on the phone with the man and DH had to give him directions to our house..

He also informed me that they don't offer a Frequent User Price..

Sorry but I guess I will deal with the hassle of a Rental car at a quarter of the price..

Hi, the directions that came on Mapquest were diferrent than the one you had. I'm sorry but even though you can see the fireworks you are behind the whole disney area which has 40 square miles (I think) and it may seem close but to drive there it is further than going to Disney itself. Also, $180.00 was round trip, $65.00 is a one way trip to the Magic Kingdom area.

I actualy reviewed the location and was able to see another closer way (as advised by your husband). The cheaper we could go to this area with a towncar (round trip) is $160.00. Keep in mind, from the lake buena vista area (entrance to Downtown Disney) to your home it is an additional 15 miles each way, so 30 miles for a round trip at an average of 2.00 per mile (the same as a regular taxi cab would charge) is $60.00 + what we already charge for round trip to the DTD area ($105.00) would give you a total of 165.00.
If you take a regular cab to your home it will not be less than 140.00 round trip.

90% of all our clients are repeat visitors and Disney fans; I unfortunately couldn't offer all of them a frequent visitor's discount other than the codes some find on the Internet. I already charge just about what a taxi charges and would not have my doors open for much longer if I were to offer this type of special discounts. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Renting a car, if it will be used to drive everyday to Disney and other locations during your stay, is definetely the best way to go since you'll not have the Disney free transport nor a hotel shuttle available to you.

My best regards,

Gregory Nicolas.

Hi.. I hope you don't think I was mad.. cause I wasn't.. Disappointed, Yes.. but ya win some ya lose some..

As for a Rental Car.. It will sit in the driveway as we have our own Car in Florida and Only needed a way back and forth to the airport since we don't have anyone in the area that can pick us up..

I was looking for a "deal" with a company I could trust since I said we do come at least monthly sometimes twice a month.. Plus.. in April and September we will have 2 BIG groups coming for Spring Break and a Cruise in September.. and I trust Passporter so came to you first...

Thanks Again
Sorry we didn't work out for you
