The Florida Express Bus is the leader in transportation throughout the State of Florida. We offer limo quality service at shuttle bus prices! We are proud of the fact that we rise above and beyond our customer's expectations and our competition.
Recently, some of our competitors have elected to post negative, false and slanderous comments on their websites. At The Florida Express Bus, we will ONLY provide our customers with the 100% fact and as such, we have compiled some interesting information about our competitors that we wanted to share with you. We hope that this information will be useful to you as you browse the Internet to find the best possible fares with the highest level of service. If you have any questions regarding any of the information below, feel free to use the Contact Us Form by clicking the link at the top of the page..
Unlike most of our competitors, when you submit a reservation directly with The Florida Express Bus you are guaranteed to pay ONLY the fare that is indicated on your itinerary. Other companies charge your credit card additional fees AFTER you submit your reservation and offer NO Guarantee. Your trip is 100% Guaranteed and we offer ALL of our confirmed passengers our 24 Hour Dispatch Number to confirm your reservation whenever you wish.
Other companies such as CWS Tours and The
Florida Sunshine Shuttle are booking agents (transportation brokers) and
do not have an automated ticketing system which means once you give them
your credit card, they charge your ticket and then send you a
confirmation telling you the final fare after it's too late. The Florida
Express Bus is the ONLY
transportation company who offers a 100% Guarantee on
ALL trips!
Florida Sunshine Shuttle
The Florida Sunshine Shuttle is a
booking agency website. It's very difficult to navigate around the website
to find what you want. It took us over 12 clicks to get information on a
round-trip schedule between Orlando and Miami. Additionally, the website
forces the viewer to read though an astronomical amount of information
before actually being able to view schedules.
Reviews of Florida Sunshine Shuttle
are plentiful. In 9 out of 10 cases, the reviews are negative. On Yahoo,
Florida Sunshine Shuttle has 12 negative reviews about poor customer
service, rude employees, charging outrageous fees AFTER a reservation has
been made and not fulfilling transportation after consumers have paid for
their tickets. Additionally, they have had 3 complaints filed against them
with the Central Florida Better Business Bureau and this is all within the
past few months!
Additionally, the owner, Dean Ciccarelli, is a
former employee who began the development of his own brokerage business
and has developed specific websites and postings on the Internet which
were slanderous to The Florida Express Bus. When a law suit was filed
against Mr. Ciccarelli for slander, it turned out that the "office"
address listed for the company is actually a fictitious location in
Davenport, Florida which is nothing more than a mailbox rental store.
1. You cannot place a reservation
online the day of or the day before travel. You have to place a phone
reservation and pay a "priority processing fee" of $30.00 ABOVE your the bus
ticket. A one-way trip from Miami to Orlando booking within 2 days is $75.00
per ticket! "Please note: We cannot guarantee that a reservation will be
processed and confirmed if placed online if traveling the same day or the
next day. Any reservation placed online within these days of travel that is
processed will be charged full fare and may be subject to a $30.00 priority
processing fee."
2. When you submit an online reservation, and you call
to check the status of your reservation, this is what The Florida Sunshine
Shuttle has to say "Do NOT call the office to see if your reservation has
been processed before checking your email inbox and spam folder.
Reservations placed after hours will be processed the next business day as
our offices open at 9:00AM E.S.T. Calling before checking your email can and
will result in you being charged a phone fare for your reservation." (Note -
it's at the bottom of their online reservations forms)
3. They do not offer instant
ticketing, you have to wait for your confirmation number unlike at the
Florida Express which is instantly done when you click submit
CWS Tours
CWS Tours is a booking agency who
offers a very plain website filled with gruff instructions to it's viewers.
For example, you are not permitted to call them unless you've studied their
website first. We made an attempt to call the telephone number carefully
hidden on their website and inquired about schedules between Orlando and
Miami and we were told to "go to the website" then the customer service
representative slammed down the phone.
1. All reservation MUST be done
online, they do not offer telephone reservations. All reservations are done
by "e-mail"
2. You MUST book 24 to 48 hours in advance
3. Customers are not "permitted" to
call CWS Tours unless they "study the entire page first!"
4. CWS Tours only offers ONE daily
trip between Orlando and Miami, The Florida Express Bus offers 7
Miami Beach 411
Miami Beach 411 offers an
extensive insiders guide to Miami and Miami Beach. The website offers tours,
news, events and many other interesting facts about visiting Miami, but,
they are also a booking agency who doesn't operating their own scheduled
shuttles.
1. Tickets between Orlando and Miami for Station to Station are $35.00 which
is $10.00 higher than The Florida Express Bus.
2. You have to pay a deposit by
credit card online, then you have to pay the balance the day of the trip.
This does not guarantee you seating, rather, you're merely making a
reservation "request"
3. You have to call 24 hours prior to your scheduled
trip to "confirm" your trip. This is not necessary with The Florida Express
Bus. Once you make a reservation, you are all confirmed - 100%
