Thank you Lancaster for the bikes. They were in excellent riding condition and was great value for the money. We cruised across Goa and didn't face any issues. Your advice was helpful and your passion towards your job was indeed inspiring.

Will visit you again when we return to Goa.
Thanks a lot!!

Dear Mr. Andrade,
I hope you are well and doing fine.
This is Harpreet, one of the 3 (Jasprit, Gaurav and Harpreet) who had hired a bike and 2 scooters from you between the 10th and 13th of October.

I just wanted to let you know that we really appreciate the kind of service you provided us. The vehicles were in a very good condition and we really liked the fact that unlike some other people, you did not overcharge us for the fuel. It's a pleasure to meet someone who is professional and honest.

This was my first trip to Goa. I liked the place and look forward to another trip in the future. I will contact you whenever we visit Goa again.  
Regards,
Harpreet

 

To anyone considering hiring a bike from Safe Special Services:

We hired two bikes for 3 weeks in February 2010 which were both delivered and collected from our hotel at minimal extra cost.  The bikes were both in first class condition and gave us no problems at all during our stay.  On finding out the Hero Honda felt a bit small for one of our party (6ft +) Lancaster immediately offered an alternative.  We found him to be professional and efficient at all times, and the service he offered was very friendly.  If you are lucky you will get to meet his charming twins, Mulder and Scully.

We would have no hesitation at all in recommending this company.

'My wife and I have hired a motorcycle and villa for our last 2 long term (3 month) stays in Goa and have been delighted with the service we have received from SSS. Attention to detail has been the key with all our requests being satisfied promptly. Minor problems experienced with the Villa were quickly resolved, no matter what the time of day. Lancaster is a very conscientious individual who really sees it as his duty to help. We have no hesitation recommending SSS and have already booked our motorcycle for our next 3 month stay in January 2010.'

A big thank you!

Dear Lancaster,

This is to express mine and my wife’s sincere thanks to you and your company (‘Safe Special Services’) for making our recent stay in Goa so memorable.
In particular, I thank you for renting us your motorbikes, both the ones with gears as well as no-geared models. Your latest models’ motorbikes are very well maintained, serviced and in excellent condition, and in the 2 months that we constantly used them, we did not have a single mechanical problem or other failure.
In addition, your motorbikes meet all the safety requirements for riding in Goa, including having all the valid documentation. We also appreciate very much your phone calls to us to check whether everything was okay with the motorbikes.
Besides your very professional, pleasant and honest service with your motorbikes, we also want to thank you very much for organising and renting to us a very pleasant, clean and well-maintained apartment in Colva, south Goa, at very economical rates. We would never have got such a beautiful apartment without your professionalism.
Because we have great confidence in you and we are so happy with all your services, we wish to appoint you to look after and handle a new apartment as well as large property that we have just bought in Goa.
Wishing you and SAFE all the best!

Dear Lancaster,

Thank you for taking care of me during my last visit to India in March 2009.
I was very happy with the accommodation, the facilities were spick and span, the service was excellent and the bike I hired from you didn't miss a beat.
I will most certainly use your services on my next visit to India.
Should you decide to visit Australia as mentioned, please contact me so we can get together, perhaps you and the kids could spend a few days at my place.
Best wishes,
Nemr Haidamous, Australia

We first met Lanky two years ago through our friends Julie & Ged. He was working for Rudy and we must say he was a great asset, always polite and very helpful. This guy will go the extra mile to help people out and he is the most honest person that we have ever met.

Lancaster is a key holder for my house in the Lotus complex in Benaulim. I am totally satisfied that he takes good care of it and is more than happy to see to any problems and organise any work that needs doing. He ensures that I get good quotes for the work and he supervises the workmen to ensure they have done a good job. Before our arrival he will make sure the house has been cleaned and is ready for our arrival. I am very happy with the way Lancaster works, he is a responsible person and I know my house is safe in his hands.
