Great service, great value!

I’ve had a great experience using the StamFORWARD app. After taking several rides, I can say the drivers have consistently been very kind, professional, and reliable. In my experience, the wait time has never been more than 15 minutes, and the rides have always been comfortable. I highly recommend this service!

GPS and Time

I was waiting at the pickup spot that the APP generated and the ride was canceled even though I WAS THERE. they don’t even wait a full minute very inconvenient. I guess this is what u get for such a cheap price but this still isn’t justifiable

The worst

Honestly these people don’t care if your going to work or not and when they come pick you up the leave if they don’t see you they don’t even wait for one minute unbelievable.
