I made a reservation on www.floridashuttletransportation.com, Sat Feb 11, 2012 for service from Ft.Lauderdale to Vero beach. The website stated that the shuttle was scheduled to leave at 6pm. On Sat Feb 18, 2012 i called to confirm my reservation that morning and the manager stated that the shuttle was on time, and there were no delays. I recieve a phone call at 5pm Sat FEB 18, stating that there is no shuttle operating to Vero Beach. As a result, I was stranded in Ft. Lauderdale, and this company knowingly took money without providing a service. Below is a copy of the reservation emailed to myself:
