Yes. Brant costs less and offers more, particularly if you decide to use him for tours.

Now to be fair, I used Thomas Moore to go from the Royal Mayan to the airport. There were 4 of us. I did not understand that it was not a private transfer. we waited for 2 late arrivals and then stopped at another Royal Resort before heading to the Airport. Instead of a 10 minute drive, we lost about 50 minutes, were rushed, etc.

A private van for 7 would cost $50 each way with Moore vs $65 round trip for up to 10 with Bryant. Last time I used Bryant the car was not there when I approached his dispatcher. We had to wait almost 15 minutes. This was unusual based on our experience. The hotel pick-ups back to the airport and for our Cozumel tour were both on time.

Brant answers emails and has been very helpful in arranging private tours and the like. We really do like doing business with him. we may let him set up a fishing trip for us this year.

Last time I let my son arrange the fishing through a good guide (we had used him years earlier) and it was a mess. The gate to the pick-up point was locked. We had to climb the fence to get down to the water. The guide's motor had a problem and he was almost an hour late. The owner of the dock had an employee who spoke no English open the place and trying to explain how we got there was a mess. AND we caught no fish!!! Brant would have picked us up at the front door. Whether we would have caught a fish, who knows.

Anyhow, Brant discounts the same tours the Thomas Moore offers. So you choose.
