The results of our research and experience allows us to describe a set of traditional features Limo service. Noteworthy, we have counted twelve. So:
Features 1. There has pattern (not without exceptions, of course): the less known Limo company and the cheaper the service is, the less chance that you will promptly file a car. We have twice ordered by phone limousine from the category most deshevyh limo en route Time Square – East Village during the day. Both times, after brief negotiations with the drivers manager reported that the car can drive up in the best case for two to three hours. Cars of the major taxi companies at the same time approaching traditionally quickly – within half an hour. But the trip was worth considerably more expensive.
Features 2. The most famous Limo companies operate in a generally stable: cab you are likely to be served on time (you order in advance – very well, ask to arrive as quickly as possible, right now – podedut within 10-40 minutes), choose the best route and seek at the end of your trip just as long as the dispatcher said. But the level of service at the limo, even one company may be very different. Sometimes, rear seats piled high with personal belongings of the driver, sometimes he goes and opens the passenger door.
Features 3. If you have such an opportunity, in whatever direction you were going or, order limousine in advance – at least for two or three hours. Then with high probability the car will be served on time, and besides, you can specify all the conditions – ask the manager to draw attention to the brand of car (many taxi companies park is extremely varied and even recommend the best route for you. Dispatchers themselves such questions not be asked, but You have every right to draw their attention to all the necessary details – often you will listen and go meet them.
Features 4. In New York limo airport bespeak always! Better even for the day. In this case, you first of all, save (to book a cheap limo lImo company that just can not come to you in time for the operational order), and secondly, you are sure that the driver pre-calculates your route for you and will arrive at the appointed time . To risk not worth it. Even in the early morning when there are no traffic jams, limo quickly do not get. Ordering of cars in the direction of «JFK» so much that even large companies do not guarantee that the limousine will be necessary to you ..
Especially 5. In the vast majority of limo services for you Kase notified in advance the price of tolls on the desired route. However, in the case of ordering the machine to travel at rush hour, when limousinenyh congestion can not be avoided, ask any manager, if they do not charge a separate fee for the so-called urban simple. In one of the limo services we were told the fixed amount for travel on the designated route – $ 35. Nevertheless, in a long traffic jam driver casually informed that the note the time for the city simple. Hearing our puzzled question, he was contacted by speakerphone to the dispatcher, which reported that this service limo actually used such a charging scheme. As a result, the total expense was $ 60 rubles.
In addition, in some cases, the driver can bypass congestion by another route, while incorporating the counter. Will be released more pledged dispatcher amount, but – faster.
Feature 6. If the itinerary involves travel outside the city limits, even symbolically, ask in advance how such a trip will be charged. Why this is important – see article «New Jersey Limo Service Features».
Feature 7. Planning the necessary trip to the shortest route, consider the so-called minimum cost of the order. It may happen that the route is worth $ 30 rubles you ask for all 70 $.
Feature 8. If you order a limo with a mobile phone or from another city write the entire number.
If you constantly use the services of the same limo services, will not hesitate to request the discount.
Feature 9. Interested for discount. Some services offer regular customers discount cards after a certain number of completed orders. Then no harm will ask the algorithm of action for bonuses.
Feature 10. When the driver asked for the fare amount of more than initially reported dispatchers, or any other abnormal situations, you can always have a way to complain about the driver in his company. Most managers limo services support in such cases, the customer. Judging by the numerous reports on consumer Internet forums, the fact that a call to service during the trip makes the driver to pull myself together, because he risks a fine or even lose the license, that is to be fired. During one of his trips to radio the driver was information that the chauffeur service at a certain number dismissed for what «slept through the exit to a permanent client». Most phone number for complaints is available in the cabin somewhere in the control unit of the vehicle. But as practice shows, it is not always responsible. It’s easier to just call the phone number which you called a car, and ask the dispatcher to connect you to the manager.
Feature 11. Under the rules of almost all limo services, refuse, from ordering, you can for 1 hour. If later on, of course, nothing terrible will happen, no material liability for that you should not be. Service limo promise that your number is usually automatically recorded in the control room – especially if it is mobile) will be blacklisted: “So the next time the service limo service you will not. But obviously, these sanctions come in the case of repeated failure by limo at the last minute.
Feature 12. One of the most outrageous possible situations – lack of Delivery to the driver with large bills when paying. Such stories littered online forums on sites in New Jersey and New York limo services. The driver may invite you to leave, and go to exchange money anywhere in the nearest store. In the extreme case, obviously, this can not be avoided. But good enough in this situation to call the limo service with a complaint. Moreover, in some companies, managers in advance by contacting the machine to alert customers that the problems with the delivery driver.
