Cardinal Transportation outsourced our wedding and we were notified two days prior (not by them, but the outside vendor). The vendors they outsourced to, called us, told us they hated doing weddings and complained about the location. They proceeded to get lost three times on the way to our ceremony with our whole hotel block and 6 total times through the rest of the evening bringing our guests back. We have reached out to cardinal (to discuss these instances and others that occurred) three separate times post our wedding and have not heard back in over 2 months.

We used Cardinal Transport to shuttle our wedding guests to and from the hotel and venue. Our guests loved this service, the drivers were professional and timely. When a vehicle issue arose prior to the wedding day Cardinal, worked and exceeded their service. Although the service was just right, I would recommend that the mother-of-the bride not be the main point of contact on the wedding day, just in case a driver is trying to reach you:)

We booked the 1960 Rolls Royce for the "Get Away" car at our daughter and son in law's wedding. It was an incredible way to end the evening. The car is absolutely gorgeous a was a real hit with all the car enthusiasts at the wedding. In addition, the car was very clean both inside and out. The driver arrived early, was very professional and friendly. Two thumbs up for Cardinal Transportation!

We have worked with Cardinal for several years now to provide the motor coach transportation for our group tours. We have always been pleased with their professionalism, quality of their buses, responsiveness, and knowledge and skill of their drivers. We highly recommend them for your motor coach needs.

We had a miserable trip on a Cardinal bus. We left Delaware county with a bus full of seniors. We rode in misery to Fremont. It seems the bus had problems with it's suspension. I'm sure half of us have back problems and blood in our urine resulting from being beat up on this bus!!

They were late to the hotel pick-up, and guests plus mother-of-the-bride arrived very late. Wedding was delayed 40 min. We were told by the venue there had problems in the past with a previous wedding, and they are now not listed as a choice of services anymore. They will never be able to have a successful business with their lack of responsibility and poor communication. I’d give them a 0-star if I could.

Cardinal Transportation consistently provides outstanding transportation services. They have covered wedding transportation for three family members, and each time the drivers are on-time and professional, the vehicles are clean and well-maintained, and the cost is quite reasonable. We will continue to use, and recommend, Cardinal Transportation for personalized, professional transportation services.

This evening I witnessed two Cardinal Transportation buses barreling through the construction on I-70 east bound between Springfield and Columbus. It was a 65 zone and they sped past me (I was going 68 mph) in the left hand lane (only two lanes). These buses had to be going at least 15-20 mph over the speed limit in a tight construction zone. . Several cars had to move over to get out of their way. If there were actual passengers in these buses, then I would bet they were worried.

We had a large group on the bus and our driver, Andy, was awesome. No matter what the traffic, from rush hour to city streets he handled it safely and professionally. Hope we get him for all our tours. Super great job. Well done Andy. The bus was very clean and comfortable. Would recommend this bus service to everyone, especially with Andy driving.

Absolutely terrible customer service. I honestly can't believe they have customers. They were so rude to us after miscommunicating their policies. I'm warning everyone I know to avoid them at all costs.

Slimey business practices. I made a reservation for transportation from my wedding in the summer of 2019. In the fine print, the details state a nonrefundable deposit of $100 per reservation, though our event required 2 vehicles.
Upon cancellation, we were charged $100 per vehicle, not per reservation. What if I had asked for 10 vehicles and cancelled in plenty of time? I never would have "reserved" if I had known I would be on the hook per vehicle. I will never refer again

We used Cardinal for our wedding transportation on July 21, 2018. They were great!

The communication from building the reservation, confirming the contracts, and executing payment were all very easy and stress-free.

We did a shuttle service to the venue from the hotels and then they came back later that evening to shuttle guests back to their hotels.

Everyone was picked up, dropped off on time, and no one was left at the venue after the reception (which was 25 minutes from the hotels and ended at 12:45am).

Great communication, great experience, and punctual. Those are the 3 keys to a successful

Cardinal provided fantastic service for a family wedding we had traveling from Columbus to Atlanta. The driver Steve was polite, professional, and accommodated my family and family friends.

I would recommend Cardinal for an extended trip. Also, we worked with Greg as the point of contact and he was prompt in his replies and also very easy to work with.

I have to say thank you to Cardinal Transportation for a timely and quick trip to the airport on Friday, October 13, 1017. I was leaving my nephew's wedding to make a flight out to NE for the OSU game to meet my husband. Of course when you are helping at a wedding there is always just one more thing to take care of. Even though I was trying to keep my eye on the clock it was easy to get lost in the celebration. The Cardinal driver, Steve, was there on time and was very professional about letting me say my good-byes. I so appreciate the lift.

We reserved several shuttles and buses for our sons wedding in October. Securing transportation for our guests is something we have done in 2 previous weddings in 2 different cities. Cardinal Transportation is a leader in its field! They were very helpful in determining the most cost efficient way to get our bridal party and guests to and from our event at #Irongate Equestrian Center. We had a 14 seater make the morning runs, one for the bride and bridesmaids and then for the groom and groomsmen. On time. Friendly drivers. Safe. We then had two 56 seaters and a 22 seater make 2 stops in the

We booked Cardinal Transportation for our wedding in September. They were super responsive and easy to work with, awesome rates + prime customer service. However, due to some issues with our hotel blocks we ended up not needing the service a month+ before the event. Although they didn't have to, as a non-refundable deposit is their policy, they were awesome and gave us the refund. Love when services take a potentially stressful situation and make them a non-issue.. ESPECIALLY when it comes to the stress of planning a wedding. Cheers!

I worked with Cardinal Transportation to arrange the getaway transportation for a couple's wedding on May 27th, 2017. They were easy to work with, competitively priced, and their service was high-end. The driver arrived promptly and helped us load the couple's things into the car. The vintage Rolls Royce was in wonderful condition and looked stunning for photographs. I was very impressed with their service and would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding transportation in Columbus.

My friends and I rented a limo for a night on the town and we loved it. The limo was well appointed and our driver was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend them and plan to use their services again in the future. They were actually recommended to me by a friend who reported great, professional service.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful and professional service. Our parents were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary and we wanted to treat them to a special evening. Your driver showed up on time and was cordial and very accommodating. Their destination was a surprise and he even kept the secret until they arrived! Mom commented that she and Dad had never ridden in a chauffeured limousine except maybe for a funeral. Thankfully, this was a much more joyful event. Thanks again!

This car service is extremely professional, and cheaper than a cab, ear out to Dublin! They were really nice, clean cars.

The driver told me about their bus service as well, for special events.

I will definitely call Cardinal every time I come back to Columbus!
