What Shoppers Say About Salt Lake Express
Salt Lake Express receives sharply divided feedback, with shoppers split between those who had positive experiences and those who encountered significant problems. Satisfied customers praise friendly, punctual drivers and highlight pleasant group interactions during their trips. However, a substantial portion of reviewers report serious issues including misleading marketing about vehicle types (expecting full-size coaches but receiving cramped minivans), lack of advertised amenities like WiFi and bathrooms, unprofessional staff behavior, disability accommodation refusals, and poor driver attitudes toward passengers.
The most common complaints center on unmet expectations regarding vehicle comfort and features, combined with concerns about customer service quality and how passengers are treated. Some reviewers report feeling scammed or harassed, particularly regarding refunds and accessibility accommodations. The polarized rating distribution suggests inconsistent service experiences across different trips and staff members.

Sorted by: Most recentScot M. was an exceptional driver. It would be great if all your drivers put in as much effort as he does.
Had a fantastic experience overall. Michael was a really great driver. We had someone driving recklessly trying to pass us, and he handled the whole thing with poise. The shuttle was spotless and really comfortable. I felt so at ease and enjoyed every minute of the ride. I've taken this shuttle before and plan to use it again.
I'm 72 and booked a trip from Pahrump, Nevada to Salt Lake City for Labor Day evening at 9:50 PM. I started waiting around 9:30 PM, and the van didn't show until 11:20 PM. Nobody called to tell me about the delay because of what they said were van problems. When it arrived, they told me my seat got given away, but said no problem, we can get you on the next shuttle tomorrow. So there I am, 72 years old at midnight, and I'm supposed to just wait a full day. SALT LAKE EXPRESS DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR PASSENGERS. Maybe they should actually read those materials they pass out at their Rexburg stop.
Great experience with this company. They're easy to work with and their service is dependable!
The driver completely skipped picking us up. Another passenger told me this location gets missed a lot and suggested calling the company. When I did, they acknowledged the driver forgot our stop. The only option they gave was the next shuttle two and a half hours later, which would've made us miss our flight. When I pushed them to help, like arranging a prepaid ride, they refused. The representative even said something really unprofessional. We had to call friends to drive us 80 miles to the airport. They refunded my fare and gave me a $40 credit, but when I asked for my return trip refunded and offered a free ride back, they said no. For a company advertising reliability, the customer service is seriously lacking.
My portion of my journey was with SLE and I couldn't be happier with the service. The bus rolled up right on time at the pickup spot and it was clean and comfortable. There was a problem at one point, but SLE worked it out to my satisfaction. When we stopped to refuel, the bus got shut down for fuel and then wouldn't start again, which cost us a couple hours until a mechanic got it going. Because of that delay, three of us missed our scheduled connection to a Las Vegas bound SLE bus. Here's why I still give SLE five stars regardless of the delay. When we got to St George, SLE had arranged a special shuttle just for us to continue to Las Vegas, and it took off a few minutes later. We made it to Las Vegas in time to catch our next ride heading to Los Angeles. SLE showed they care about their passengers and won't abandon you if something unexpected happens.
