Hidden fees from Limo and Car service companies in Boston area

Hidden fees from Limo and car service companies

Hidden fees from Limo and/or car service company?
We hear a lot of complains from customer about their experience in the past with other companies, where there would get a surprising amount at the end of the service, higher from their original quote. We will try to explain on what to expect and how to get an accurate quote from the limo company.

1) In most cases you will be told that your basic rate will be x amount of dollars. The key in that sentence in word "basic" rate. What limo companies mean, is that you will start from number x, and they will at least add the following charges: Taxes, Gratuity, Environment protection fee, gas fee, toll fees.

2) Always ask if you will be charged for stops on your way, for example if you will need to stop by 7Eleven which is on your way to buy a newspaper.

3) If you are getting "to good to be true" price, double check, there is got to be a catch. You get what you pay for. Ask questions about the car, fees, liability and insurance.

Always ask for GRAND TOTAL and ask whether that will include all the fees.

Keep in mind, automobile is one of the dangerous method of transportation. You should be carefull when selecting your next car service company.

Difference in price

How come car service and limo service prices at times are dramatically different among companies.
Good analogy to use in this case would be "food calories". What does food calories and car service have in common one might ask. Here is our explanation. If you were to purchase 1,000 calories for your lunch, you would be presented with several options, for example:

Purchase 2 double-cheeseburger from MC and it will get you 1K calories for $2 plus tax :)
At the same time 1,000 calories in places such as Panera Bread can cost anywhere from 8-10 dollars. Idea is simple, better quality calories you purchase, more you have to pay. Same can be applied to car and limo service in Boston and most other major cities in US. If quality of service is important, if you are looking for safe and reliable car service company with good reputation, chances are the price will be a bit higher. Sometimes it makes sense to pay 5-10 dollars more and enjoy your service. After all it is your safety and reputation!

Have a safe trip!

How to get the best rate possible on car or limo service?

First and foremost, in order to get the best rate possible from any car service company, you have to book in advance. Companies plan their weeks and schedule their pickups well in advance. If you are in need of non-stretch limo service, such as Sedans, SUVs and up to 4 passengers, you should book your trip 7 days in advance. If you are looking for limo service, 30 days in advance. 

By trying to book a vehicle on the same day, forces companies to adjust their schedule on the fly and put more load on drivers, therefor they will charge you more. Also, becoming a permanent customer and always working with the same company, will improve your chances of getting the best rate!

Have a safe travel!
