What You Need to Know
Before Renting. |
Here are some critical guidelines to
follow to ensure your business or vacation travel is hassle-free!
|
| |
| |
|
Just looking for the "Best
Price"? You may be disappointed. |
The biggest error you could make
when shopping for an airport limousine transportation is searching based
on PRICE. In the limousine industry, there are many variances of quality
and price. All too often, a cheaper price translates into larger risk
for you.
Most consumers would not choose a restaurant or hotel based on price,
yet people shop for a limo service this way and expect 5-star quality.
If you shop for a limousine service based on price alone, you will
likely be frustrated and disappointed with your limousine experience.
Old, dirty, poorly maintained vehicles, shoddy service, unprofessional
chauffeurs with poor hygiene, dangerous vehicles, late service, and
under-insured services are all possible results of a "best price"
shopping priority.
There are exceptions-- however, the lower the price, the more risk you
will assume with your transportation plans. |

Risks You Take When
Shopping For A Limousine Based On Price Alone. |
Your limousine does not show up. You
miss your plane.
Your limousine shows up late. You miss your plane.
Your limousine shows up with 4 other passengers already on board; you
were not informed of this policy.
A 1987 model limousine rusting at the seams arrives at your door when
you were expecting at a 1998 model. Instead of being lavished in luxury,
you are embarrassed.
Your limousine shows up with an unprofessional chauffeur with poor
hygiene.
Your limousine chauffeur exercises poor customer service with your
company's most influential client. You loose the account.
Your limousine service gets into an accident and does not have proper
insurance to cover the damages involved in your injuries.
Your limousine drops an axle during transport and you are injured. Turns
out your service did not have the limousine safety inspected as state
law mandates.
Your limousine breaks down on the freeway during transport to the Super
Bowl. You and 7 of your friends missed the big game- but you saved
$35.00.

Check-out Insurance
and Permits. |
| All limousines are required to carry
commercial insurance and proper permits. Unfortunately, the Yellow Pages
and other services do not require the same in order to advertise. To
protect yourself from "gypsy companies", ask for these from your
selected company. |
| |
| |
|
The Limo Broke Down! |
| Don't be the business traveler which
gets the "Limo Broke Down" or "We don't have your reservation" story.
Cover yourself by dealing with a reputable company. Shopping on price
alone is dangerous. Some unethical operators do not hesitate to drop a
reservation to pickup a better paying fare. |

Airport Transfer Costs
- How it is determined. |
To determine the cost of a limousine
transfer to and from the airport, limousine services utilize several
factors in determining price.
Vehicle required: Luxury sedans are the least costly, however can
only transport up to 4 passengers. Cost increases directly proportionate
to vehicle size. Number of Passengers: More passengers, more
cost.
Travel distance to your destination: The longer travel time, more
cost. |
| |
| |
|
Private or Shared
Ride? |
Limousine services offers two
alternatives in airport transportation -- SHARED and PRIVATE
rides. A private-ride is personal transportation for you
and your party to and from the airport with no other stops or other
passenger pickups. Private rides are direct, door-to-door service. (Or,
door-to-airport). Most services offer private rides as their normal
procedure.
Other services offer shared-rides where the limousine
makes multiple pickups and drop-offs before completing transport. With a
shared-ride, you may share your limousine with a stranger and have to
take a slight detour before arriving to your destination. Of course,
services which offer shared-rides offer discounted rates to account for
this subtle inconvenience. |

| |
|
Affordable Alternative
to Taxi. |
| Limousine service offers a valuable
alternative to taxi's which can be unpredictable and offer a
lower-quality of service. Typically, limo transportation to or from the
airport is a just a few dollars more than a taxi service. When traveling
with several people and the cost divided amongst riders, limo
transportation is an affordable option. |
