Prime Time Shuttle 4+

The app and ease of use is great. The reliability of car pick up and customer support are horrible.
Driver for ride to airport was 25 minutes early, called to find out where we were, if we were ready, and why we weren’t ready.

The driver for our return trip from airport, cancel without contacting us, 10 minutes before arrival. The apps chat function customer service could not tell us more than to wait- no follow up. After multiple requests to just wait we found another ride home. They did cancel our reservation very quickly and refunded us. And considering how poorly designed LAX’s pick up system is, there is no surprise that there are issues in the airport - save for taxi cabs.

It’s a shame- the drivers who work for Prime Time that we spoke with who were waiting to pick up other riders were very nice and helpful. The cost was very competitive-especially since UBER/LYFT are gouging the rider and shorting the driver. There needs to be an alternative to Uber and Lyft.
I’ll be very hesitant to use Prime Time again.

As was described in my PrimeTime - Part l review , I had booked an advance round-trip reservation prior to a scheduled international flight. As per my booking, I was expecting to be picked up at the Philadelphia airport arrivals location at 5:25 PM upon my return to the States, and to be driven back to my suburban New Jersey residence, approximately 23 miles from the airport I don’t know if you can even imagine my shock when I was checking my email at the Dublin airport prior to departure only to find that PrimeTime had contacted me that day to let me know that my shuttle reservation had been canceled. A related text message informed me that this was due to “the full capacity of our private car”. As this had been booked and paid for before my outbound flight I am not even sure how that could occur. Totally unacceptable to leave an elderly woman traveling alone abandoned at an airport following a 7 hour international flight. I can only be thankful that I did have access to Wi-Fi at the Dublin airport so at least I got the communication and had 7 hours flight time to plot my next move before arriving. Things were definitely happening in South Philly that evening since the Eagles were playing the Steelers with a 4:25 PM start time but I certainly don’t see how that could’ve affected a private car from the airport as fans were already at the stadium. Anyway, I’ll never use PrimeTime shuttle again and lastly, GO BIRDS!

I booked online the first time and had a great driver and a great ride. I chose this company because Super Shuttle (my standard option for years) did not have an economical rides available. I booked two more times in Sep 2019, both online (not this app), and no driver showed. Despite text and email confirmations within two hours of my paid pickup time, I received a call from the dispatcher one minute before pickup asking if I heard from the driver. My app showed a map but not the location of my driver. The dispatcher tried for about half an hour trying to get me a driver before I resorted to a ride-share for my ride to the San Diego airport. A few days later, I received a call and email after I went to bed to tell me they had to cancel my reservation for the next morning - I saw the messages when I awoke the next morning, making it challenging to find an alternative on short notice. Both reservations that week were for 4am pickup. I can understand how challenging it can be to find reliable help for that hour of the morning. One bad driver can really hurt the reputation of a good company. I intend to look for another company for my future trips, or rely on one of the ride-share companies.
