Limousine Rental for Airport Transportation
Consider an airport transportation limousine service for a safe, reliable and comfortable ride to the airport. You will ensure you are on time for your flight, or your limo is waiting upon your arrival.
This is some helpful information to help you choose the best airport limousine service company.
- Inquire how long the limousine company has been in business.. The longer a company has been in service, the more likely they will provide great service.
- Question the Limousine Company’s Insurance. They should have the proper commercial insurance coverage on their fleet to protect you in the event of an accident or other mishap. A reputable Limousine Company provide you with a Certificate of Coverage, if you request to see it.
- Ask about the limousine company’s license and operating authority. Limousine Companies with Federal licenses under the Department of Transportation are regulated and more likely to provide you with high quality service.
- You can also ask about the Limousine Company’s affiliations with reputable organizations such as the Better Business Bureau, The National Limousine Association as well as their local Livery Association. Memberships with any of the above and other related organizations lets you know that you are dealing with a professional service.
- Ask what vehicle they will be sending you for your transportation. They should tell you the year, make and model of the vehicle. Be sure your contract or confirmation contains the specific vehicle information.
- Often times Limousine and Sedan Companies offer shared ride services. This means that when you reserve a vehicle, you may be sharing it with 1 or more other passengers. Ask how many passengers will be sharing the ride and tell them your preference with respect to private service or shared ride service.
- Give very clear instructions regarding the exact location your chauffeur will meet you upon your arrival at the airport. Ask for the chauffeur to carry a sign with your name. This will eliminate unnecessary confusion and waiting on your part.
- Make sure the price you have been quoted includes gratuity, parking and tolls. Standard gratuity is 15% to 20%, depending on the service area. Some companies charge other additional fees for extra passengers and extra stops. Understand all additional charges before making your selection so there are no surprises at the end.
- You should ask whether the Limousine Company charges for the driver’s waiting time. This could be substantial in the event your flight is delayed. Many Limousine Company’s monitors flight statuses to track early or late flights. Check to see if they have this service.
- Know the Limousine Company’s cancellation policy. Most companies require 24 hours notice for airport cancellations and will charge you in the event of late cancellation.
- Get the Limousine Company’s toll free number and make sure the Company offers 24 hour dispatch service in the event you miss your flight, you are put on another flight, or unable to locate your chauffeur.
- Ask for references. Excellent references from reputable corporate clientele will lessen the possibility of service problems.
