Driver was very polite and punctual. His vehicle was clean, and he was concerned with ourcomfort, especially if we were warm enough.
Car service from airport was top notch

Our driver was excellent! He was very courteous, friendly and helpful with the luggage. He got us to our destination very quickly. I would highly recommend your service.

We prepaid this pickup. Our flight landed (5:30). Got text at 5:31 from driver. He said let me know when you get your bags. I tried to call and texted him at (6:10). I got to ground transportation and he was not there. I call their dispatch and they told me he waited over an hour and was released at 6. They would not send anyone else! They were rude and hung up on me. We had to get a cab to my hotel.
I called the day before...

I called the day before we arrived and spoke with Danny to confirm the pickup at 1 pm and he said he would be there but he wasn’t. I called him numerous times when we were outside and at 1st he didn’t remember talking to us. We were 5 people with lots of luggage. We were supposed to be picked up in a sprinter and instead over a half hour later 2 suv crossovers and we barely fit. I spent 200 and the suv that I was in was dirty and old and not worth 200. I could have rented 2 Ubers or taxis and saved money. Really upset
No Show from CARMEL private Transfer

What a disappointment, arrived at San Francisco Airport , contacted Carmel Private Transfers customer Service . stating we had arrived and picked up our luggage! , contacted Carmel Private Transfers they said they could not get in touch with the driver (Silence on the Phone), they then said we will have to make our own way and contact Viator for a refund. Absolutely Flabbergasted with the response from the customer service rep, i will definitely not recommend this service to anyone. I would like a full refund and compensation for the poor service.

Easy to book. Great communication by email/text. Driver was nice and on time, comfortable car. Made it easy to get from airport to hotel without any stress or hassles. Booked for return trip from hotel back to airport since everything was great.
Average experience

This was ok but nothing more than that. Difficult to get through to the help desk to let them know we had our luggage and we’re ready to be picked up.
Driver seemed annoyed we had been slow getting through immigration. Not our fault there was a big flight ahead of us in the queue!
He also seemed to ask for more money when he dropped us which when my husband pushed back dropped to $6 for the airport fee!
Felt expensive for the cost
Very good service.

Driver patient, helpful & friendly, and assisted us with our luggage.
On time and pleasant ride!👍

Our car was right on time when our plane landed. The driver loaded our suitcases and drove us directly to the hotel. The experience was pleasant and direct. Vehicle was clean and comfortable.
fine service

A bad experience.

We got to the airport (SFO) and called one of the numbers listed in our voucher. It was advertising for DirecTV. The other was Viator but not associated with Carmel. The third call got someone who referred me to the dispatch office who eventually got a driver to call. He arrived in 15 minutes and was from a different company, but he efficiently got us to our hotel. The total time from our first call to arrival of a driver was 45 minutes. We have used viator in the past and had good, timely service. What went wrong?
Transfer doesn’t happened but paid directly, watch out

Hello, I travel from Hamburg, Germany to San Fransisco with my wife and 10month old daughter.
After I waiting for check in I book the transfer (which never happened).
After few hours I was at the desk and they told me the flight was canceled on tomorrow directly I try to get untouched with the company but nothing happened! Since today nobody call me or write me back! But my money is directly charged by PayPal. I standing there after a 14 hour flight with my 10month old daughter and nobody waiting for us! After searching 1hour I realize that nobody are waiting there with a sign with my name on it. I really really pissed of these guys since today nobody get intouch with me.
We take a taxi which was 20 dollars cheaper! Watch out for these complicated company.
Efficient Ground Transfer Company

The driver was prompt & very efficient. The dispatcher was very helpful. We were picked up & taken to our hotel without any problems. The car was clean & fairly new. All of our luggage for our cruise fit in nicely. I would hire this service again from this company.
He was a very nice guy...

We were supposed to be picked up by Regent for a hotel transfer and found out at last minute they didn’t have us scheduled so I contacted aviator and booked this. The driver contacted us at the luggage pick up and by the time we were outside he was there very shortly with no walking to a garage. It all went very smoothly
Do not reserve

They emailed me will in route to cancel. I Confirmed a couple days before, but apparently they did not care to provide a service that was already paid for.
Horrible
Jessica_C

Don’t use this company. I booked two car arrival and return. They did not show up. I confirmed the day before and when I called the staff. Jack 51 from Carmel was so rude. Said they could not help me, they didn’t have any cars, or a manager to help.
Great Service

Our driver, Burkhan, was waiting for us when we got off the plane. He texted me to let me know he was there. He met us at the baggage claim area and took our bags to the car. He was a very pleasant young man and a good driver in the rush hour traffic we encountered. The car was clean, and comfortable. We were very pleased with the experience.
Driver on time and...

The driver was friendly. He pointed out areas of interest to us. He also drove us down the "crooked street"! The drive in from the airport was enjoyable.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
