LIMO RENTAL ALERT (CONSUMER WARNING!) |
|
Searching for limousine service on the web can be a tricky proposition littered
with a maze of smoke-and-mirrors.
Many internet limousine websites claim they
have vehicles available worldwide and that you should book with them. |
don't put your event or travel at risk!
|
|
The fact is, most of these limousine websites with "vehicles around the world"
don't own a single car. These websites are reservation clearinghouses;
internet brokers who are merely third-party subcontractors. This practice
is widespread on the web and it typically leaves the consumer, YOU, at risk. |
how does limo brokering put you at risk?
|
Dealing with a limo-broker is like gambling. Here's how it works:
A reservation clearinghouse,
or internet broker, doesn't own their own vehicles. They merely take your
reservation and farm it out to a locally based company. Once this is done,
they effectively loose control over your job, leaving you at risk.
For example, lets say you made a reservation with "1800BookALimoFast" for an airport
arrival in Boston.
1800BookALimoFast jobs out your reservation to a local company in Boston, say, A-1Boston
Limo. If A-1Boston can't accept the job, they call-on another one of their
"affiliates" - yes, your reservation is shuffled from company to company until a
local company can accept it. You may not get the limo or the service you expected.
The total price you pay is above market. Hidden in the price is a broker premium.
This premium could tack on as much as 20% more than regular price than if you dealt
direct with A-1 Boston Limo directly. Unfortunately, the premium is not disclosed
as it is cleverly hidden in the price.
Because you are1800BookALimoFast's client, and NOT A-1 Boston Limo's client, the
service you receive may not be up to par.
If you have any problems with the service, the internet broker has little control
over the service; they don't own the cars or hire the chauffeurs. If A-1
Boston Limo receives an opportunity to service one of their OWN clients, you may
be left standing.

how do you spot a limo broker?
|
Limo brokers are easy to spot. Here are (3) tell-tale signs that a company
is engaged in limo-brokering.
(1) The make broad claims of coverage such as "book a car anywhere" or "we service
over 25 countries in 200 cities". There are only 2 or 3 worldwide limousine
operations that own cars worldwide. All others are brokers.
(2) Some websites will give you instant pricing on your reservation need.
While convenient, this price often reflects the broker's fee & the subcontracted
rate; in other words, you will be paying MORE than if you dealt direct with a locally
based company.
(3) They have names symbolic of national prominence such as "1800BookALimoFast"
or "Limousine Network Worldwide." |
