Price
Quoted me $95 for a 30min ride meanwhile the Uber app for the same ride for the shortest wait time is $47.

Very professional
App is terrible
I had heard that Mears taxi service was a good service. I downloaded the app because it seemed more convenient. When I went to reserve a taxi once I got to the airport, it said it wasn’t able to make the request. Later on my trip, I tried to request a taxi using the app to take me from one hotel to another, but I never got a taxi. The only reason I was able to get back to my hotel was that a taxi showed up for someone else and was able to take me. The worst thing was I had made a pre booking for a taxi to take me to the airport and I had made this booking about a week in advance. It showed up in the app as a pre booking but after 10 minutes of waiting I decided to call to ask where my taxi was. The customer service rep then told me the app doesn’t do pre-bookings and that this booking was never in their system. She then said they would send another taxi to get me. Luckily I still had plenty of time before my flight but if I had reserved it for later, I would’ve had other issues. The driver was fine and I was able to get where I was going quickly all 3 times but the app and the service not related to the drivers, was terrible.

App not reliable
App does not work more than half the time and have to call almost every time to verify booking
Drive Not Receive Notes, App Not Updated
I am returning to calling. The app sent my driver to a location almost a half hour from where I was waiting. I left a note in the app with the correct location, but the driver never received it. Thankfully, she called so I gave her the correct location. Mears then sent a closer driver so I only had to wait an extra ten minutes instead of thirty. I then noticed that the app has not been updated in three years! Apps need frequent updates to keep running effectively. I will return to the app whenever it gets updated to see if it improves.

It doesn’t work with UK phone numbers
Last time I was in Orlando 2016 I used the website but pre downloaded the app for a trip for next year to see prices, it worked a few times then I updated my number and haven’t been able to log in since. Complaint have been coming in for 6 years mears need to sort this out
Don’t depend on them
I downloaded the app, to try and bypass phone wait times. I attempted to schedule our ride for the next morning and was prompted “unable to process due to ugh demand”… well we’re at DisneyWorld, I wonder if it’s ever able to process.
So. We made a phone call again, waited, I spoke to a very nice call service employee, scheduled my ride for the next morning.😃
Next morning we see buses to Animal Kingdom leave as we walk to our Taxi meetup spot, not worried cause we’ve scheduled our ride the night before right?… wrong.. we showed up at 6:50 to our meetup spot. No taxi. I walked up to a Mears Taxi Shuttle that was present and informed him of our situation. He said “you see that green color on the screen? That means no one picked up your ride appointment.”….😒
So we weren’t informed that we had no ride being provided to possibly make adjustments.
This is my experience with Mears Taxi.
Would not recommend, will not try again.

No communication
I don’t really understand this apps purpose. I ordered a cab and it says it can take up to 5 minutes to assign a cab and after 20 … nothing happened. Called the company and they said my order was registered but could not give me a time. Ordered an Uber instead. Walk outside and they have a cab just sitting there waiting for people. Stupid.

JE costumer
I was quoted 50 dollars at the airport booth by a young lady to Winter park, she gave me a piece of paper told me this is your driver, who was right next to me,,
15 minutes or so later we arrived and he said it’s 70.70 plus tip, I called the office talked to Nelson , 10 minutes later I ended up paying the 70.70 dollars, never again, no body cares.

Never again
I will never use this company again. Upon arriving to Disney, I expected to see the Disney buses from the past ready to take me and my friend to our hotel. Once I saw MEARS had replaced that system, I assumed it would be relatively the same. I was wrong. We had to schedule our bus from our hotel to the airport at the beginning of our trip, before we had any idea what our schedule would be the day of our return. We were five minutes late to our pick up (a Disney bus ran late), and the bus had already left. I called and they made me a separate reservation for thirty minutes later…. The bus never showed. We ended up just taking a taxi. It made for a very stressful end to our trip. I expected much better from a company involved in the Disney experience.

Worst Customer Service in History
Mears touts their app as the way to “save time” by ordering ahead. What they fail to tell you is that if you reserve a taxi on the app there is no guarantee that one will actually show up. When I called today to find out why the cab I booked 5 hours in advance never arrived I was told (by a “customer service supervisor”) that they would send a cab when they got around it and that reserving a taxi on the app doesn’t mean that one will arrive when you want it. “We’re not Uber or Lyft. We don’t just send a cab whenever you request one” was the direct quote. So, essentially, this app is as useless as the company in general. Go with Uber or Lyft and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Don’t trust this app
Mears advertises their app heavily in their cars and while you’re waiting on hold. Don’t fall for it. I used it, like a sucker, and when I called them after waiting 45 minutes, the nice person on the phone said the app was flaky and that it’s safer to just call.
Scummy
Scummy people
Idk how it’s a 2 star
Mears was amazing for my family vacation, they were so fast and as soon as I request one line 3 show up! Their vehicles are clean and drivers are friendly!
Mears is awful
What used to be a reliable service to and from the Disney properties has turned to garbage. The app is horrible. Will no longer let you store a credit card, so you can fight with the driver about how their credit card swiper doesn’t work and you need cash. They have no drivers available so you sit at park close every night waiting 40 minutes to see if one will finally come get you and your family. Don’t use them.

Good service and access
Have used App each time I’ve come to Orlando or DisneyWorld in lieu of driving or renting my own vehicle. I’ve never had a complaint. JohnG
Weak. Lame. Go elsewhere
Interface is a mess. Call if you need a cab. Both worth the memory useage
Worst app ever
Tried this app multiple times trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. Cabs never showed until we called multiple times. Each time cabs were 30+ minutes late. Trust me don’t bother. Wish I could give negative stars.
Good App, but Inhales Battery
Title says it all.
Cheats
The drivers for this company do things that bad old way — they try to cheat the customer and pretend the credit card machine isn’t working. Just use Uber or Lyft and save yourself the hassle.
