Academy Ground Transportation

Academy has been my choice for transportation for over a year. The staff is always great and prompt. I’ve tried a variety of types of vehicles and all are new and in spectacular shape. In addition, they go the extra mile and make sure that everything is done with precision (i.e. Pick up time, confirmations, etc.). Thanks Academy!

I highly recommend they hire better drivers. I recently used them for a wedding to transport our guests to and from the venue. All of our guests told me the driver was the absolute worst! First, he didn’t even know where he was going. It’s a good thing one of our guest asked only to find out he had no idea and was going to take them somewhere else across town. The driver finally called the office and was told where to go. Second, he got lost many times and even ended up at the same location he started from 20 minutes later! Third, he used only print out gps maps. Who does this? They claimed he tried to reroute as traffic was bad and ended up on side streets wasting time trying to read his print outs. Third, all 25 passengers told me he was driving above the speed limit and swerving in and out of traffic. Apparently so bad, that multiple guests went up to him and demanded he slowed down. What did the guy do… he totally ignored them and continued his erratic driving. The worst part about this, I call to tell the office about the experience my guests had and was told it’s a case of he said (the driver) vs. she said (my guests of 25 people). I was then told they would talk to the supervisor and I specifically said I wanted to personally speak to the supervisor. Guess what… no response at all. My concerns were NOT heard at all and that is not the way to run a business.

This was our 4^th time using Academy for transportation to and from cruise ports (San Diego & most recently San Pedro). From the moment of booking to pick-​up and drop off their service is stellar. Alex, our driver today, was professional and kind. The entire process was effortless. Thanks guys for another GREAT ride!

I’ve been using Academy for a few months now, and they have really catered to my needs. When my boss calls me at 3am and tells me that he needs to leave to New York first thing in the morning, I am always able to schedule a reservation with just two hours notice. Thanks for saving my ass Academy!

After last-​minute cancellation of my trip through Malibu Limo I was very disappointed and had no time for booking a new trip. It’s nice that I found this company on Unilocal and they were able to drive me and my party to Las Vegas within a half an hour after my call. Safe trip, nice driver, reasonable price. I am very pleased and highly recommend to everybody.

Thank you very much for your service. The only transportation company that was able to keep up with my hectic demands and last minute changes.

They never confirmed my booking and I was left high and dry without transportation for 10 people. Really bad follow through from their office. I e-​mailed them and left a phone message wondering what the situation was — they didn’t even bother to contact me to apologize.
Also rip off alert: I asked for a quotation which was for my trip of 55 mins duration.
They have a two hour minimum. So they quoted a 2 hour price for my 55 min trip then said if I went over my 55 min time they would charge me in extra 30 min blocks. Should I have not got at least 2 hours before the extra charge would kick in? Apparently not.
