What Our Jefferson City Clients Say

Real experiences from customers traveling from Jefferson City to Lake of the Ozarks

5 out of 5 stars

We haven’t even used the service yet but we have had nothing but good experiences interacting. We needed a bus on a time crunch (the day before) and they were available and worked with us, even trying to squeeze us in when they didn’t have too many openings before a certain time. Beyond that, we booked for the wrong day and texted frantically an hour before and needed our ride changed and they were gracious and let us switch. We are so excited to use them and will be sure to leave another review but we expect nothing but greatness given our experience thus far.

Lake Ride Pros are there best transporters I've ever used. They are always on time, if not early, and really care about their clients. They are very safe and cautious driver's.

We love LRP! We had a girls night Saturday at the ozark amphitheater. Our driver (Madison) was fantastic! She took good care of us and gave us helpful tips for the venue and even gave us instructions to find her after the show! Then she got us home safely. We have been a couple of times with this company. I can't say enough about them. They're awesome!
