Having a horrible time finding

limos!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got quotes from several companies, over the phone. Most people were very nice, but one company who comes highly recommended was rude to me, and i think they were overcharging me a lot...

they told me the princess rolls wouldnt go out to smithtown cause its too far east?????? HUH
ok then he asked where the reception is and i told them east wind and he said he def. couldnt give me a rolls then,, wayyy too far... ok fine, then on top of charging me the cost, plus grat. and overtime fees (cause i need it for 4 hours) he wanted to charge me 125 per car for travel time... UMMM isnt that your job, to travel!!! we are not talking out of state here, give me a break! Does this make sense and i am naive, or are they crazy

I am so annoyed right now, finding a limo is so difficult cause many of these people talk a good game but then i hear about brides who had horrible experiences with them!!!!!!!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh help!

I know what your going through, haven't a clue of a good, cheap limo company!

Travel time is a normal charge. Although shop around, we had two companies charge us for travel and one that didn't. We also need the limos for longer than the normal three hours so we negotiated to not pay gratuity on the overtime.

Good luck with your search.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that!

We used Sir Oliver and had a wonderful experience. Joe, our driver was amazing and so nice!! Good luck!

Re: Having a horrible time finding

thanks! 5 companies and only one wanted to charge me overtime... i think when you go and talk to them face to face they may work with you a bit more...is that true?????

i got a decent quote from sir oliver... : )

not the cheapest, but by far not the most expensive...

what is difficult is that some people have fabulous experiences and others dont, how do we know who to actuallu trust since every experience seems to be different?? urrr

thanks for the support though.. everyone is so sweet! thats why i can complain here and i dont feel bad

Re: Having a horrible time finding

We are using M&V limo - got the best quote from them and they have a great reputation. We were able to negotiate the price a little especially since the wedding is at an off time. they definitely did not charge for travel time.
