Garage Fees; Hidden Charge Comparison
This is one reason you are Loosing Money.
Us - We charge from Pick-Up to Drop-Off.
Example: From your House (Pick-Up) back to your
House (Drop-Off).
Them - Charges start when the Limousine leaves their
Garage and charges end when the Limousine
gets back to their Garage also known as Garage Fees.
What this means to you: You are paying for time. If your Quote "Estimate" includes .5 hours time for the Limo to get to you and .5 hours to get back to the Garage, (after drop-off) You Pay 1 Hour for time you did not use the Limo.
Example: If a Limo company or Limo lead broker advertise buy 4 hours at full price and get one hour Free or 40% off, this will likely mean the Free hour is the time going to pick you up and the drive back to the Garage; which you never should have been charged to begin with.
Example 2: If your Quote "Estimate" is .5 hours and it takes the driver 45 minutes to get to you and the same amount of time to get back to the Garage then You Pay an hour and a half for time you did not use the Limo.
This means you pay for 3 hours and get 1.5 hours in the Limo.
There is no way to know the exact time it will take to get to the pickup or back; it could be bad traffic conditions or a wreck, ultimately the Limo company will determine this in their sole discretion and you have no way to know exactly how long it will take for the Limo to get back to the "Garage", hence their "Quote Estimate".
When going to locations out of town such as Santa Fe/Taos drive time estimates are used but not for Stretched vehicles within the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho areas.
We appreciate your business,
