Smile LA Shuttle

Just called them trying to see how much they charge to go to LAX since I’ve heard so much negative experience with super shuttle and other big shuttle combines which really scared me (can you imagine spending two hours picking up other passengers and another hour ride to LAX before the long international flight?)
Anyway, the guy answered the phone was really nice and have heavy Taiwanese accent but wasn’t a problem for me.
Going to LAX from Pasadena is $ 50 for the first person and extra $ 5 for the second person and of course that’s not included tip
And he told me they won’t pick up other customers on the way and they are licensed.
I’ll probably give them a try.
I also got the quote from super shuttle, the first person is $ 40 and per extra passenger is $ 9. The van fits 7 people so most likely they’ll pick up other ppl before heading to LAX on the way.
And if I want the direct ride to LAX it’s gonna be $ 95.
I’ll add the review if I do go with this company. But so far so good and the guy on the phone was pretty clear with my questions and also very friendly as well. :)

Not sure about this shuttle company. When clicked on the website it advertised the 909 Number which forward to a cell phone overseas. The owner Vincent gave me an alternate phone number to call for shuttle service.
When called the 626 number, another Chinese guy answered with his heavy Chinese accents. My first thought was how legit is this shuttle company? Of course having a American person reviewing first on Unilocal helps attract potential new customers.
But I’m not gonna fall for this scam.

I was first introduced to this company by my mother. I’ve since used this company twice to get to LAX. I’m from NYC and a taxi to the airport that’s 15mi is $ 55. So considering the mileage from Diamond Bar to LAX, they give a pretty good deal. Didn’t want to take a super shuttle to leave 4 hours before hand and then take 3 hours to get to the airport.
My driver, Venson, is commercially licensed. They’re pretty professional, on time even with this ridiculous traffic. He provides a small bottle of water and you can ask him to put on the station you want to listen to. The vehicles are Toyota Siennas, which I appreciate much more than those humongous FORD utility vans. It’s got auto doors and bucket seats. The second time he took me, we were in traffic for 2 hours, which prompted me to write this review. He was patient, doesnt honk and change lanes like crazy ny taxis. Left him a tip and has no problems stopping for me to grab a quick bite to eat before getting on the plane. He’s not the best English speaker, but how hard is it to understand «get me to the airport REAL quick!»?
