This company canceled the night before my scheduled 65th birthday event. I was contacted at 10pm and told that the city of Austin cancelled transportation. Attempts to contact them the next morning received no response. Poor customer service is a consistent and they only want to communicate by text. I write this review to share my experience and cautious others about this company.
