    For you terrific folks at Smart Ride, I applaud you! Thank you so VERY VERY much for making a day outing for me yesterday possible and so much fun. It was nice to get out and not impose on family you've already exhausted enough! Your driver, to say to least, was a most awesome gentleman who was such pleasant company too! Again, I thank you so much. You certainly gave life to a tired soul!

    I miss working for the company and being able to assist our clients. There are transportation companies here but none with the strong commitment to quality and service that Smart Ride has.

    I had to travel to Alexandria, VA for two days back in August. Smart Ride, Inc was the service that was selected for meand I'm glad that it was. The first day my driver Deborah was prompt, pleasant and very knowledgeable of the route. The second day the gentleman was just as nice and very professional. Overall, I felt comfortable and will definitelyrecommend their service to anyone!!

    I've been using Smart Ride to get to and from the local airports almost since they've opened. They've always been very flexible and willing to work with me.

    I've been using SmartRide for years and the service is so helpful. Especially since there is no metro in my area, I dont know what we would do without SmartRide's services.
