Does anyone has experience with taxi company "Zonetransfers ".

[dutchwalkagain]

I saw online that "zonetransfers" offers transfers between towns on the camino for a lot less then caminofacil. Has anyone used them, and if so are they reliable ? Thanks

I'm wondering the same thing for a trip in a few weeks. Did you end up using them?

I don’t see that Zonetransfers offers any such service. They are an online aggregator making bookings with local service providers.

I have used this Zonetransfers company on 2 occasions. The first for pickup at the Santiago airport to go to Tui. And the second from Lisbon airport to Porto. I can say that it is a good company and that at least it has gone very well for me.

I didn't see those because Tripadvisor is like a dumpster. I trust Trustpilot more, which is a more serious platform. On Tripadvisor in a documentary they said that more than 70% are fake reviews

There are word for word matching reviews on both websites. Who knew people had so much spare time

I give my opinion based on my experience. That doesn't mean that others did badly. I have tried other, much worse companies, I assure you. With Zonetransfers I can't fault anything because everything went well. They treated me well, but as I say it is my experience.

Hmm. Reviews look a bit scary.......
I've used TripAdvisor for years, and found it OK.
Though I always ignore the really bad reviews, like you see anywhere.
Some people are never happy........with anything. Only happy when complaining.

Never used Trustpilot but will take a look.

Tripadvisor Took Down Nearly 1 Million Fake Reviews Last Year

Over 46,000 reviews referring to Covid-19-related travel issues were also removed for violating its guidelines, including criticizing locations for closing due to lockdown restrictions.

For me, Trustpilot is the ‘gold standard’ when researching people’s experiences of different companies irrespective of what service of being offered. Used it recently when researching a media company and the difficulty in cancelling a
Subscription and it was so accurate!!

I ffind TripAdvisor okish.

No, I do not. However, scanning the replies: go with your gut!
Even across the gulf between experience and opinion, my word would be: try them! Then, you will be an expert when the next person asks

I've used TripAdvisor reviews for years, but like you, I take the worst ones as a grain of salt as some people always see the glass nearly empty. I recall reading a one star review not too long ago where the woman complained that there was a dead fly in the bathtub when she arrived at the room she was assigned.

I cannot find anything on-line that suggests that Zonetransfers offer a luggage transfer service along the Camino Frances or any other route. They are an aggregator providing a booking service for taxis and private hire vehicles.

This is their offering for the Camino de Santiago https://www.zonetransfers.com/santiago-compostela-airport-taxi-transfers/
