I don't think the OP has a party of 7 people. I think someone misread "dial 7 among them" in the OP as meaning 7 people.
Personally, I'm a big fan of the Airport Bus. They are cheap and reliable, and their schedules allow for rush hour traffic.

Hi..booked with Carmel car service..very reasonable for 7 people and driver will come inside to meet group at the airport...this service is included in the price of a van which is what is needed for a group this size.
Tip of 20%, and toll both ways are included in quote online..no hidden fees.
If you go online you can get a quote or you can call and they will help you.
The person making the reservation was more than helpful and friendly..
Thank all of you, for your help.

Not sure what arrangement yuo ahve made. On their website it lists a van for up to 10 people at $118 - PLUS tip and tolls.
Perhaps you are paying a higher price - probably are if you are going for meet and greet service - but do be sure if you will be charged for waiting time. Typically if you call them as you land they then organize a vehicle that will arrive shortly after you get your luggage. But if you want them to park the vehicle and then come inside for "meet and greet" they charge you waiting time for anything more than 30 minutes after landing time.

Carmel has several exceptions listed on their website where they do include tip in their pricing. Looking back at my notes from a prior trip when we had 8 coming in together I see that they included tip there as well-sort of like the automatic tip added at restaurants for larger parties. I'm sure they'll do a good job for you.
Anyway, I think your trip sounds great Davisman-I know it is very different to plan a trip for others - and sometimes the small additional cost is worth it so everyone feels comfortable. I took my (much younger) granddaughter last year with 3 other family members and did things just a little differently-sacrificing some but not all flexibility in favor of having everyone together most of the time. They all loved it and my granddaughter can't wait to go back, which is the reaction I hoped she would have!
