Tell your quick ride terminal 1 night driver to quit blocking the crosswalk at the silver ramp at the main terminal. Guests come out and they need to walk around his shuttle. This is a safety hazard.. He does it every night, all night.

Cassie, front desk attendee, helped us set up our desired route and even threw in a last minute stop for us! The driver was extremely fun, courteous, and kind! We were very happy with how he drove the route and made it a good time for our wedding guests! We would recommend them to anyone

My daughter's last day of school was today and about 2 hours after she was dropped off, I saw a school bus pull up to the house. The driver, Lou, got out and handed me her yearbook. I shaked his hand and thanked him. He didn't have to do that but that tells you all you need to know about this company and the people that work for them!

Thank you to John who has worked with me on setting up van transportation from Northfield to McGuire after we had a house fire. Thank you for making one aspect easier on me during this stressful time. Thanks for adding my son for pick-up on a late start day.

We found out about Schmitty & Sons through a recommendation and utilized them for a conference outing. We ended up working directly with Kathryn, who was the director of sales, and she was incredible to work with. She was really well organized and had high attention to detail, so we felt confident with everything. Schmitty & Sons worked directly with the hotel venue and helped coordinate everything. Overall, excellent customer service and I will definitely use them again for a bus charter service!
