ETS was the first private transportation provider in 2018, originally called EC Exclusive Services doing business as “Exclusive Transportation”. They were licensed by the City of Goodyear, permitted by ADOT as a livery service, and carried commercial insurance as required by state regulations. From the start, ETS established itself as a legitimate transportation company operating within the bounds of the law. In 2019, Exclusive Transportation (DBA ETS) branched out to become its own fully-fledged provider with contracted drivers. This move allowed the company to streamline operations and offer more personalized transportation services tailored to client needs. With a dedicated fleet and professional drivers, ETS could now directly manage quality control and ensure a consistent, reliable experience for customers.ETS had a transportation monopoly in the West Valley until 2022 when Desert Sky Express entered the market. This new competitor gave ETS drivers more job opportunities through our subcontracting deal. DSE brings fresh competition and options for consumers seeking alternatives to our service area.

Let’s discuss a few points. Our aim is to deliver an amazing journey to you, the customer! You ask, but why? Since it’s your reservation, why shouldn’t you get to have your way? How can we go about doing this?

We do this by providing you with a single driver and an open return option. Regardless of how long it takes—an hour or five—your time is valuable, and once a price is agreed upon, it won’t change. Furthermore, you won’t be charged by the hour—rather, we’ll bill you per mile to transport you to and from your location, plus an additional sum to reserve your driver for as long as you need them. Our job is to give your event plans purpose. It is not your responsibility to drive, deal with driving, or worry about friends and family.

If you would like more information about our point-to-point reservations, submit your request for a price or give us a call.

We recommend making a reservation at least 72 – 48 hours in advance to ensure availability.
