It’s double the price of...

It’s double the price of a taxi. The driver was nice but it seemed like forever to get there. When you arrive at the airport, you call a number in New York. Then you have to give them all the information and then they transfer you to a local dispatcher and you have to repeat everything again. I thought I was booking a regular sedan but it was a taxi. Never again.

Vancouver Airport Pick-Up After a Long Flight

It was a relief to be met at the airport after a long flight - but it took some time to connect with the driver which was frustrating.

Poor customer service

I booked the service and realized that it was the wrong day so I called within 15 minutes and was told that it was past the time that you could change it and then I have to call Vader. I called and was told I had to go back to the provider and that they would reach out to me which they did not.

If we wanted a taxi, we would have hired one!

Received phone call from a TAXI CAB company upon arrival at YVR. Arranged pickup location. The driver was courteous and polite. The taxi was dirty inside and out. We know how to hire a taxi. We hired clean private transportation to our hotel. We did NOT get it.
