    This was my first experience with Urban Express and it was a good one. Kacy Armstrong was very professional and personable. I never worried about getting from one place to another because Kacy really knows DC. I'd highly recommend, and request, him at any time.

    Booked them for a school field trip to cedar point. They didn’t arrange a driver for our busses. After everything was sorted out, the busses arrived over an hour late.

    4/8/2019 a van with this company logo (plate number PJT 8708) was driving out of the Glen neighborhood in Hilliard headed down Dublin rd. The speed limit is 45 mph on the road but the driver was traveling 25-35 mph the entire time looking into the mirror. Intentionally slowing down traffic and enjoying it. Then when I got into the right lane to turn on Roberts rd, he slowed down on his brakes again to be next to me (going around 20 mph in a 45) when there was nothing but open rd in front of him. This behavior is ridiculous and childish.

    ***It has been over a week since my prior review and they stated in their reply to the review that someone would contact me but no one has. This is typical of this business, they say they will do something or have someone contact you and it never happens.*** My daughter booked several shuttles for her wedding this past Saturday, October 9th. I wish I could give them 0 stars! We had problems starting 3 weeks before the day of the wedding trying to get an updated itinerary sent to us due to some changes that were made. Both my daughter and myself called and emailed NUMEROUS times asking for this to be emailed. Everyone was very nice on the phone and made promises but nothing was done. Finally four days before the wedding we received the updated itinerary. The day of the wedding, the first shuttle for one of the bridal parties was 20 minutes late and was smaller than what was in the contract so my son had to stay and come 2 1/2 hours later with the guests and one person had to stand. Plus the shuttle had a foul smell. We had shuttles that came later to the hotels to pick up guests. The driver of the last shuttle to leave for the venue had no idea where she was going and went the wrong direction. Luckily one of the guests noticed and she had to do an u-turn and my niece had to use the GPS on her own phone to give her the directions. Plus the bus had no working air conditioning and she drove with the door opened, which is illegal. The shuttles (2) for the return trip from the venue back to the hotels were to start at 10:15 pm and continue making trips back and forth with the last one leaving the venue at 11:30 pm. Only one shuttle (40 passenger) showed up at 10:15 pm and never returned. The second shuttle (25 passenger) never arrived until 11:30 pm. I called the office to see where the 40 passenger shuttle was and the lady who answered knew nothing about it and said she was trying to reach the drivers but no one knew anything. She told me to quit calling. We had 35 guests that needed to get back to the hotel so numerous Ubers were used. This was embarrassing since all guests were expecting a shuttle back to the hotel. The last Uber left the venue after midnight and there were no shuttles in site. This company is terrible. They have no idea what customer service is. I’m writing this review so people are aware of how they operate, and I don’t want anyone to go through what we did. There are plenty of other shuttle services in the Columbus area that I’m sure would like your business and not put you through the stress that we endured.

    Kacy was amazing! He was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and a skilled driver. He connected with most everyone in my group whether it was over the drive and his familiarity of the route, the bbq grill, or family/children. It was a pleasure to meet and work with him.

    Thank you Urban Express for helping me with my daughter's wedding! It was refreshing to speak with someone that was helpful and to not feel rushed or like a part of the job! Your busses were very nice and couldn't have been more helpful. You took our beautiful day and made it move smoothly. Will be using you in the future!

    Thank you Angela, I awful experience I experienced with Greyhound was unacceptable. But when you showed up in Louisville Kentucky, you were professional and patient to make sure that I and the others were on the right bus back to Nashville. You were the best driver I experienced on this long journey and got us back in a timely manner. And Thank you for checking to make sure if they redirected my ticket and was getting the right bus to finally make it to Memphis. Thank you so much a satisfied customer Janet Clark 🙏🏼

    8th Grade DC trip. Kacy was our driver and he was awesome!! The bus was clean upon arrival looked very nice. Professional in every way. Got us around DC in a safe and timely manner had two buses on the trip, and they worked well together. Thanks, Kacy, for making the trip even better.

    I have been on a few different trips with different charter companies and none have been as pleasant as when I ride with Urban Express Charter. The drivers are so kind and friendly and set the entire tone for the trip. Definitely will stick with them from now on! Highly, highly recommended

    WE LOVE working with Urban Charter! I own a local wedding planning company and they are the easiest and best company to work with. They are very responsive and always read my timelines and desire to be ahead of the game with their timelines. Save yourself hire them (and a wedding planner ha!) to make your wedding day run smoothly!

    They drop people off at appointments and make them wait hours to be picked back up. I've seen first hand an elderly lady wait hrs to be picked back up. So sad

    I used this company to transport my sons baseball team to get to a tournament the past weekend, Arranging the complete trip was made very easy and affordable thanks to urban express. They where very nice and easy to deal with to set the trip up, and our driver Brent made the trip special going above and beyond to make sure the boys and their families had a fun and enjoyable experience there and back. The bus was new, very nice, and exceptionally clean. I will use them every time I have any transportation needs no question about it.

    I don’t know if words can express how great our bus driver, Kacy, was for my daughters 8th grace DC trip. She struggles socially and I was invited along to be with her on the trip. Kacy made a point to make her feel important and ask her about her trip and take a “cool” pic with her…he went above and beyond and this mom is so thankful! Thank you Kacy!!!

    My recent trip was with 40+ 8th graders which my son was one of them. My son is in a wheel chair and has CP. Our driver Kacy was more than professional and went above and beyond to help everyone especially my son Joel have a enjoyable time. Kacy was able to combine professionalism and personality to make the trip enjoyable. His working relationship with the tour guide also helped expedite travel time and pickup location. Thank you. If we are ever in the need for bussing Urban Express and Kacy will be our choice

    KC is the best shuttle driver I’ve ever had, that man deserves a raise! He made our trip so seamless and gave helpful information about Columbus as well as pick up and drop off times on the days we’ll be visiting. Definitely keep him around Urban Express!!!!
