The Risks of Shopping for Limo Service by Price

Ask yourself this: Would you hire
the cheapest surgeon, or stay at
the cheapest hotel? Not likely,
but 90% of prom goers shop for a
limousine service solely based on
price. The majority of those
planning their wedding
transportation and other limousine
and ground transportation
do the same.

"The biggest mistake you can make
when hiring a limo service for
your prom, wedding or corporate
function is basing your decision
solely on the "best or
lowest price". 

This translates into a large risk
for you. Getting the
"lowest price" is like choosing
a surgeon who offers the least
expensive surgery -- a foolhardy
choice.

Scenarios & Consequences
RISKS YOU ACCEPT WHEN SHOPPING
FOR THE "Cheap Limo rental" in
Minneapolis/Saint Paul

Scenario: Your limousine does not
arrive on time.
Consequence: You are late for your
prom, wedding or corporate event,
miss dinner etc...

Scenario: An old 1989 limousine
rusting at the seams
(with no working AC or heat)
arrives at your door when you
were expecting a new, sleek model.
Consequence: Instead of being
driven in the lap of luxury, you
are embarrassed amongst
your guests.

Scenario: Your limousine chauffeur
exercises poor customer service...
Is wearing jeans and a t-shirt,
smoking in the limo and is on the
phone not paying attention...
Consequence: Your limousine
service gets into an accident and
does not have proper insurance to
cover the damages involved in
your injuries.

Scenario: They won't put it in
writing.
Consequence: The limo never shows
up. Turns out the limousine
company got a better paying
reservation and does not operate
ethically.

Scenario: You are told the limo
won't be coming because, the
"Limo broke down or got Into
an Accident!"
Consequence: You are the customer
which receives the "The Limo
broke down" or "Got Into An
Accident" or "We don't have your
reservation" story.

Cover yourself by getting a
written agreement and by choosing
smart. Some unethical limousine
operators won't hesitate to drop
a reservation to pickup a better
paying fare. Shopping on price
alone is not wise and can even
be dangerous.
