New Paradise Taxi Service in SoWal

[emeraldcoastdav]

OK I have a question Emerald Coast Dave.

A friend of mine called your business and wanted to know if you would drive them from old Fla fish house back to their home in Destin. She was told yes. SOOOOOOOOOO the night that she wanted to use the service, her hubbys birthday , she called your service to bring them home. She was shocked when someone from your company told her NO, they were to busy in Seagrove and would not do it. I understand that you may want to stay on 30-A but someone should have not told her that they would do it. Her hubby was upset b/c she did not plan it out well (although she did) and then she had to call her dad to drive her home.

There may be more to the story than is being told. Our first priority is to bring home those we take out.
We do not quit hauling because we are 24/7.
We warn those that we deliver out If they wait till 1:45am to call for a return trip they will likley have to wait for longer periods of time then our normal 15 minutes from call to cab arrival, due to multiple bar last calls.
We will deliver fares from South Walton to any destination. We take reservations.

Ouch...I'd be really pissed! For future reference, I would get someone's name and number, in case there was a problem. Especially, a supervisory type. Though I've never used Paradise Taxi, they seem very professional and unique! With their being fairly new, maybe they're still working out some kinks. SOWAL vacationers and others, seem to be real impressed!

I know and have used Babbitt, with Bahama Babbitt's Beachside Limo Service and he's great! :clap_1: Hard to imagine he, nor anyone working with him, would do that! We are dealing with human and not perfect beings, though! ;-)

Thank you ECD. I was wondering if there may be more to the story. She did not make a reservation b/c she did not know when they were wanting to go home. I appreciate your response and hope that I too can one day be in need of your services although I am usually the DD for everyone. I will let her know that in the future that you will if a reservation is made and it is not 1:45 a.m. w

This makes sense, ECD. We'll make sure we let our guests know to reserve return trips ahead of time. Looking forward to using your taxi services myself sometime soon. I don't like driving 30A late at night and I don't do it after a few drinks.

everyone should remember, there are a lot of drinkers and not a lot of taxis on 30A, these gentlemen do a good job and put up with a lot. no one is perfect.............

Yes. I was wanting to post that this isn't the big city but I didn't want to insult the service by making excuses, giving ECD a chance to respond. But this isn't the big city, the service is still relativley new and by and large we are lucky to have them. I hope they continue to serve the area and would like to help make them a success.

When I saw IBD's post I also thought that around here you need to make appointments ahead of time and follow up to be sure. The other alternative is to rent a limo and pay for the whole night.

And ECD - thanks for putting the SoWal stickers on your fleet. I think you need bigger stickers for such big cars.

Maybe you need in-car SoWal.com access for passenger posting. :idea:
Or we could do a webcam with SoWal taxicab confessions streamed live.

You may not want to see the ugly truth at last call pick ups.
