Apex has the best service in the Bay Area!

It is always a chore to hire the car to get my group to the airport for our annual vacation. I seem to never keep driver’s information so every year I begin searching for a car service from scratch…

This vacation I began my search for a car service. The first service couldn’t help me with an SFO drop off (what??). The next service called me after I submitted an online request. The guy who called had to conference in another guy to make the reservation. He couldn’t get the other guy on the line right away… after a few expletives the other guy came on the line. I thanked them both and continued my search…

The next car service (this is #3!). The gentleman was helpful and nice, but not real knowlegable. Most of his answers ended with “and stuff” or “yeah, I think…” I couldn’t do it. I thanked him and started over..

Then I call Apex. Mary came on the line and was so professional, helpful and knowledgeable. She sold me on the company. What a great experience to have after so much lackluster!

Wanna get away? Start with Apex!

Our driver, Alex, was wonderful, but I don’t like that they included the tip in the price. I wasn’t aware at the time that you can ask to pay the gratuity in person, which I wish we had done. It has since been brought to my attention (not by Alex) that the driver does not get the whole 18% pre-paid gratuity. From now on I’ll be paying the gratuity in person.

Apex car service was great for going around the Napa area for a day of wine tasting. Our driver was Andre and he was so nice and helpful. He helped us pick out places, was always ready to go when we were, and gave us the freedom to have a perfectly stress free day. We rented a town car for six hours, four of us in the car, and there was plenty of room. I would definitely book with Apex again.

I booked Apex for a day of wine tasting in Napa and they were amazing.  Our driver, Alex, was probably the highlight of their service.  He has been doing tours in Napa for 9 years and had great recommendations on wineries to visit.  Alex did a phenomenal job and took us to a winery you couldn’t even find on that map where we had the most fun of our whole trip.

I would highly recommend going with Apex.

We took a guided tour of the napa wine country with Eric. Had a great time. Eric was very knowledgable and was able to make suggestions on wineries and even reservations for taste testing. He had a great depth of knowledge and information about the area. He made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommend using his services. Well worth the time.

I was so incredibly pleased with Apex limo service.  I had 8 friends coming to visit to go on a Napa trip so I booked the limo for our wine tasting days.    Apex is upfront when you book about the exact price of the limo.   No hidden fees!  Tax, gas, gratuity is all included in the quote.  The limo was very luxurious and clean.  Our driver Mario was AMAZING.  He was always early in picking us up and he was so nice and helpful!   Definitely ask for Mario when you book.

Eric at Apex Limo was awesome! He was really knowledgeable about wine country and even suggested a few hidden jems. We had a wonderful day and enjoyed being driven around in style!

I booked with Apex for my sister’s bachelorette party. We rented the limo for 6 hours and hit 4 wineries in Sonoma and Napa. It was great to have total control over where to go and when to leave!

Our driver, Ivo, was really helpful and professional. He was always ready, waiting for us when we walked out of a winery. He was very well informed about the various wineries and travel times/distances. He helped us strategize our trip a bit.

His limo was beautiful and very luxurious!

I would definitely recommend Apex — ask for Ivo!

Booked with Apex to do a six hour wine tasting trip with my wife and inlaws just after xmas.  Ivo picked us up in Danville and took us all around Napa.  He was prompt and very knowledgeable of all the Vineyards and restaurant we planned to go to.  I would very highly recommend Apex to anyone and will most certainly use them again for my next wine tour and I will most certainly request to have Ivo as our driver again.   I had received quotes from a couple other companies and Apex came back with a great price and the large SUV that we preferred.

Easy booking with Apex. Showed up 20 minutes early to make sure to get our itinerary. Booked a 6 hr limo for 7 girls to go wine tasting in Napa – couldn’t have gone smoother. Already recommended to a friend who’s back in the area in August.

We used this company for our annual napa trip.

Apex limo service truly shines. Their service is flawless from start to finish.

Their telephone customer service rep was very nice, professional and responsive. The customer service rep instantly came up with the quote, explained all the details and options. Within minutes she emailed me with the confirmation details and the whole service was booked in no time. 

Our driver, Sasha, was great. He was punctual, very knowledgeable, friendly, and knew his way around Napa like the back of his hand. 

We didn’t have a set plan for the day, so we asked him for some suggestions. I was pleasantly surprised with the recommendations Sasha provided.

He first asked us what we liked to drink at home and what we were planning to get out of this day, and based on our answers and likes, he designed such a cool and unforgettable  day for us. This day ended up being the highlight of our trip.

On top of that, our limo was spotless and had a bar that included alcohol. We didn’t really touch the hard stuff, but it was nice to drink champagne on the way to the wineries. The limo also included plenty of water and non alcoholic drinks. 

Their service is flawless from start to finish. Highly recommend Apex limo and Sasha.

Apex’s response to our review is at best misleading:

“After listening to the recorded conversation between Mr. Aaron ***”

Apex’s use of one of our party-member’s full name on a public forum is telling of what kind of business you’re considering using.

“Chauffeur was on time at pickup location but due to unsuccessful planning on your groups part, your group was late by 30min. To start off the day on a good note  driver gifted the group 30min free time”

This is true and would have been appreciated if not for the fact that our limo ride home was ultimately non-existent, thus rendering the 30 minutes of free time inapplicable.  Regardless, our late arrival is irrelevant to the subject of our complaint.

“driver went over the contract and let clients know that availability of additional hours past contracted hrs always depend on availability of company. This is a business standard”

This is patently false.   While we do not claim to know what the “business standard” for extended time is in the Napa region, (nor is it relevant), what we are sure of is that we were specifically told that we had an option for an additional hour.

“All of this was explained to the group at beginning of the charter”

Untrue.  While Yelp readers will ultimately decide for themselves, I would not be spending my time writing a review about some random limo company located across the country if the above statement were true.

“The clients misunderstood our offer, they also misunderstood that the latest they can be back to their hotel is by 5 pm.  It is our right as a business to reserve additional work for our vehicles after clients contracted time is over”

Again, untrue.  We were assured that we had an extra hour available to us, should we choose to take it.

Nobody is disputing Apex’s right to contract additional work after the conclusion of our contracted time.  However, Apex does not have the right to assure customers of an option, and only after the customer has acted in reliance upon that option (including $240 of tasting fees at Stag’s Leap), rescind that option.

“Aaron demanded a $300 reimbursement for the $100 taxi ride that all clients shared”

We reserved a limo to take us between Napa vineyards.  If we wanted to save $, we would have taken a cab.  Put differently (and I hope this would be abundantly clear to a limo company), Cab does not equal Limo!  $100 was never adequate compensation.

“Aaron also asked about canceling next days charter at which point Mary referred to the Terms and Agreement contract Aaron was emailed when he booked”

After clearly breaching our oral agreement on day 1 and leaving us high and dry without a ride home from Stag’s Leap, we had no reason to believe that Apex would perform satisfactorily on the second day.  Additionally, the limo driver on day 1 was horrible.  He could not provide us with any of the interesting information that we had read about in other reviews, nor could he answer even our most basic Napa-related questions.   Put differently, our desire to cancel our second day was merely our attempt to cut our losses.

Also, our desire to cancel the second day is irrelevant.  We performed our end of the bargain (paid in full).  The subject of the complaint is Apex’s failure to hold up their end.

“A week went by and we get a one star review…We emailed the billing client and let him know that since Rebecca is still upset she had to pay $100 for taxi, we will make a one-time compensation for taxi.”

This is true.  Upon realizing that we were willing to write a negative complaint when provided with sub-par service, Apex offered us $100 in exchange for removing the review.  We were unimpressed and all agreed that we would prefer that the complaint stay in place to inform potential customers of our bad experience.

“Aaron  responded and let us know that he wanted the full amount of the charter refunded. He wanted a 100% refund”

This is true.  We did not think that anything less than a full refund was worth removing the negative review.  If all Yelp customers that wrote negative reviews ultimately pulled the reviews upon receiving some small recompense, the whole purpose of Yelp would be defeated.

“We didn’t respond to Aaron’s email because it was a completely unreasonable demand. The client enjoyed full day of service”

Yes, this is true.  We were provided with a certain service.  It was far less than what we had contracted for and what we paid for.  As such, we opted to write a negative review.

“7 days after Aaron’s email and us not responding, another 1-star review showed up on Yelp…this review was written 1 month after the service was provided and strangely enough, only 7 days after our refusal to pay Aaron full refund he demanded… I feel confident saying this group had an agenda to extract as much money as they could from us”

You figured us out!  Our diabolical scheme is up!

Apex sucked.  I don’t know if they always suck but they certainly might.

I used Apex for transportation from Santa Clara to Napa and back. They did a great job and charged a reasonable amount.
