Can anyone comment on this company. We are looking to go from Cordoba to Toledo. When I was first planning this trip around Spain I thought I had checked all train connections. When it came to purchase these tickets I realized my mistake. It is too late to change our itinerary, we leave the end of the month, so a hired driver is our best route, 2 couples to split the cost. I know we can travel from Cordoba to Madrid to Toledo, but it is too much transferring for us, and takes too much time.
Anyway, they are almost €100 cheaper then mydaytrip. Any comments will be helpful, in the meantime I will keep researching.

I understand that you don't want to have to transfer, so a private driver may be the right choice for you, but it will probably not me much--if at all--faster. There's a morning departure from Cordoba (changing in Madrid) that takes a bit less than 3 hours. ViaMichelin.com estimates the driving time at 3 hr. 44 min. without allowing for any comfort stops or traffic delays.
Spain's express trains are extremely fast, much faster than a car.

I decided on the driver for a number of reasons, the main one being the day trippers from Madrid to Toledo. I read that the trains for this route do sell out and all I can envision is the crowds. This is the last city of a 6-city 3-week trip and just figured we don’t want to deal with the crowds and hassle. We are 65 and our travel companions are 71. We might be a little tired by then, lol. Luckily we can afford the extra cost so we are going with it.

I’ve used SunTransfers successfully a few times in Spain and Italy. Their booking site can be tricky, it focuses on airports and hotels. In one instance I emailed and most recently for Barcelona, I called their US number to make sure my booking was accurate. They always show up on time.
You’d need to add at least a few hours of wait time if you chose to fly.
