Best airport shuttle service for Honolulu

[CarnivalCreed]

Hello all! I will be heading to Hawaii in May to board the Carnival Legend and I am stuck when it comes to transportation. I am considering using Go808Express, Hawaii23, and Johnny Cab. The reviews seem to be good for them but I do see some reviews amongst them of people not showing up, canceling pick ups, and non-private shuttles with a ton of stop points to name a few. It will be my girlfriend's, family's, as well as my first time in Hawaii so I would rather not have it tarnished with poor shuttle service after flying over 4,000 miles in a day. Personal experience using one or all of these vendors would be appreciated. Thanks

Depending i number in your group, it would be less expensive to just grab a cab. Shuttle prices are per person, so that can get pricey with more than 2 people. We have always used Roberts.

We just got back and used Johnnycab from th airport to Waikiki hotel, and from the hotel to the pier for POA cruise. Excellent communication, charge is not per person but for the ride.

Just be sure and notify him 24 hours before you show up at the airport to reconfirm. Young guy (Johnny) running his own business.

Excellent. I'll be sure to give him a call. Thanks for your help and I hope you enjoyed your cruise!

We used Johnny Cab on our trip too. Super nice guy, reasonable rates and he was always right on time!

I'll take your word for it! I'm glad to have Johnny Cab introduce my family to Hawaii!

Used Johnny Cab once and he was nice but told us to text for ride to ship and he never answered. That was our first POA Cruise.

 

Have used Kings every time since. Alex is spot on - super polite. Great guy. We used him for about 5 different rides this last POA cruise just last week.

Yeah they seem to have some pretty great reviews. I'll have to keep them in mind in case something happens.

What is the benefit of using a shuttle instead of just getting a cab? Is one cheaper then the other?

[GorillaPaper]

The big bus shuttles take lots of people and stop at many hotels. Best to use prearranged transport. Johnny cab and kings are like taxis but they give you a rate-you don't pay meter. If traffic is heavy that is a very good thing!

Pretty much what Gorilla Paper said. A lot of research I've done says that a shuttle is way more economical than a taxi. For example, I'm paying 30 bucks to be picked up at the airport with a group of 4 (including myself) and taken to Waikiki. Also, if you really want to, a lot of the local shuttle companies arrange tours for an extra fee (usually a few hundred more) but we aren't doing that.
