I have stated I will add cars to meet demand and I will. I have 5 Checker taxis in town now with 2 on the road. My goal in the near future is to be no more then 15 minutes from any fare location. Paradise Taxi offers 24/7 service at a cost nessasary to maintain the cars and drivers.
Second, The negative reveiw from JHBEEBE needed to be clarified. He states he has no connection with the transportation company he recomends. I do not dispute this. He has had buisness connections with me and others in my family. In fact in more troubleing times in his life he has even been a guest in my family's house. Now he seams to be an apple that has fallen far from my family's tree.
JHBEEBE if you wish to tarnish my taxi company in a public forum, please qualify your statements by explaining our relationship.

On this board, don't worry. If people see a place they think would be good, they'll try it out themselves. People on this board in general really want to see local businesses succeed. So, I suggest that you post your rates and hours of operation, as well as typical rates between common destinations (e.g., Seaside to Panama City and Valparaiso Airport because that's kind of in the middle of 30A and we'd recommend it to people if the rates work; Red Bar/331 to different communities along 30A, etc.). Then provide very good customer service because word of mouth advertising is great marketing (most people don't tend to take one person's bad experience too seriously, especially if they need a taxi and are served well themselves). Getting your name and good reputation known among rental management companies and people who rent out their property is important as well. For example, we put the business cards of businesses we think would be helpful to our guests on magnets on the refrigerator -- everything from dentists to restaurants to bike rentals to Web30A. And, of course, figure out what you can do better than the competition -- quality, on time friendly service, rates, etc.
I like having a taxi service on 30A (though I haven't had a need to use it yet). Where would we get some of your business cards?

Well, American Idol Paula, all I have to say is you have got the cutest kids! They look like funn too. Hope to meet you all one day.Paula said:Thanks Emeraldcoastdav. And the rest of you popcorn eaters, behave. (We have enough trouble on other threads -- they can get skeery.) We just need to encourage good services along 30A! I'd love to see a norm of taxi drivers driving people home after an evening at the Red Bar or 331 (and other places that serve alcohol) if necessary -- Do the local drinking establishments have the name of the taxi services?
