NEVER ANY SKIPPERS.

Me and my boyfriend used to use skippers all the time but recently they have just not been good. they never have any skippers and sometimes they’ll give us a skipper and then cancel it. It’s not a good company anymore. i wish they were better because it really is a great way of transportation but they just haven’t been the same since last year.

Random personal stops

They personally stop at
The liquor store, McDonalds ect. While you sit in the cold waiting

no title

Drivers are never available, have ridiculous wait times, or do not arrive to the correct location. Vehicles are often not clean, and is generally a bad experience.

Inconsistent

The drivers tend to make stops at random locations that aren’t drop offs or pickup spots. And wait there for 10-20 minutes before resuming driving it is highly unprofessional and extremely frustrating, when they wait down the street from where you are supposed to be picked up. Also they removed the option to call your driver for some odd reason which makes it impossible to reach your driver. I’ve had to cancel many rides due to this issue I would not recommend skipper to anyone, until they crack down on their drivers and their inability to do their job.

Seriously don't use this app unless you want to have a headache

Leaves young girls stranded

You can order it for $1 but don’t expect to actually make it home! They’ll go to the wrong pick up spot and not even wait the full 5 minutes before just driving off and leaving you stranded. I’m 17, being left stranded on the street could be dangerous for me.
