Helped in a pinch

January 3, 2026

My plane was delayed so I pushed back the Taxi. I did have scheduled, but then they moved my plane back to the original time and that Taxi could not help me so I called John and he was at my place in 15 minutes. He was a real lifesaver and he got me to the airport on time.

John showed us around Newport and drove us around the City during our entire three day trip. He’s a wonderful host and a very knowledgeable guide!!

It was very easy to reserve my flight to the airport for 0500. John was on time, helped me with my luggage and was friendly. It was the least stressful part of my trip. I greatly appreciate it

Outstanding, Reliable Service at 4 AM!

When another car service canceled last minute, leaving me stranded at Castle Hill Inn at 4:00 AM on a Sunday, Drivers Seat came to the rescue. He arrived promptly, was professional, safe, personable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure I got where I needed to go. His calm and responsible demeanor immediately put me at ease. I cannot thank him enough and would recommend his service to anyone looking for dependable, first-class transportation in Newport.

John and Lars were both great to ride with! On time, pristine cars, reliable and my mom and I felt comfortable riding with them late at night too. Would definitely recommend their services over Uber or any other local company! If we ever come back to the area we will be riding with John and Lars for sure.

Greg was the best!

June 20, 2025

We visited Newport for the first time and we are so grateful for The Drivers Seat! We won’t visit again without booking rides to/from the airport with this company. Our driver, Greg, went the extra mile (pun intended) pointing out historical buildings and teaching us about the history of the city. He was such a part of our trip that we ended up capturing a selfie with him! Thank you, Greg and John, for your excellent communication and care. We are deeply appreciative!

John came through for us!

June 15, 2025

The driver we had scheduled from a different local company for a very early morning ride from Hotel Viking to the Providence airport did not show up. Fortunately, we called John Shaw at My Drivers Seat, he rescued us and we were able to catch our flight home. He was amazing, very friendly, and the car was immaculate. John and the team at MyDriversSeat.com will be the only car service we will use in the future.

John saved us!!

June 9, 2025

My wife and I had booked a reserve trip with Uber to take us to the Providence Airport. Despite booking 24 hours in advance the Uber driver canceled last minute and no other uber driver would take the trip. We got John’s contact information from the Castle Hill Inn and he jumped in his car and came to our rescue! He got us to the airport on time and in style!!! Never using Uber again. Stick with local drivers you can trust and rely upon to be there when they promise. John was a life saver!!!

John picked us up, drove us to our destination and provided incredible hands on service to a handicapped member of our party. He was extremely well versed in the history of Newport and gave us a wonderful reason to return here for the Winter Solstice. Absolutely recommend John for all of your driving needs. So kind, so solicitous and helpful.

Great driving service!

June 23, 2024

Castle Hill recommended John’s transportation services for our stay. John went out of his way to make sure we were picked up on time and made it easy for us to reach him for return trips back to Castle Hill. John also made a last minute change while we were driving to the Providence airport and drove me to Logan/Boston instead due to flight delays. Not sure you can get service like that from an Uber driver. Thank you John!! We will use your company on our next trip to Newport.
