Planned a trip to Huntington, WV and hired Dave's Limo to pick us up on Friday AM. They picked us up on time and got us to the airport in plenty of time, but that is where the good things STOP!!\r
\r
Arrived home on Sunday at about 11:30 am, by the time you get off plane, get your luggage, is noon by then. Called Dave's from the ground transportation desk at PHL and the dispatcher's first question was ""Are you at the airport?' No, where do you think I am calling you from? THE AIRPLANE??? Called them at approx 12:05PM, still at airport at 1:10PM, dispatcher could give me NO ET as to when driver would be there. After making 2 calls to them, was finally going to take the train home to Warminster, PA, figured it was faster than they are now. When I made 2nd call to them, I again asked for ETA and could not be given one, I told her that it was a little chilly outside and could she at least give me an idea as to time. She asked what I was doing outside when there are chairs inside for you to wait. Well, the person I was with is a smoker, you cannot smoke in the airport, so we were outside chatting while she was ""catching some smokes."" Dispatcher told me that after we were done smoking to go back inside and wait...Who in the world is she to tell me what to do? I am not a child and totally resented her remark. So, upon deciding to take train, was checking out the schedule when driver finally arrived. He left a little to be desired as far as his driving skills were concerned, I was waiting for an accident to happen when he slowed down to a crawl going thru the express EZ pass lanes, I felt sorry for the drivers behind him. \r

Anyway, in chatting with the driver, he told us that he had been at the airport for 40 minutes, was in the holding lot, where he managed to get something to eat as well as catch a nap. Now, I don't begrudge the man his lunch or a catnap, everyone certainly deserves that, however, to find out he was there REALLY ticked me off. So, when I got home I called dispatcher and was told that she knew he was there, but she was trying to reach another customer whose plane had come in while we were standing waiting to be picked up, but that she couldn't reach him so she decided to release the driver and send him to pick us up. She didn't want to run the van the distance from PHL to Warminster, PA with only 2 people in it. So, who cares how many people are in it? They got paid $75.00 in advance to do this and I am quite sure that $75.00 will fill the tank on that van.\r

I have been using Dave's for a while but will never use them again...This trip turned out to be the trip from hell.\r

Pros: Finally got home
Cons: Too many to list
