LOW Priced Limousine VER$US High quality Service Providers in New York City: NY LIMOUSINE
Welcome to the competitive limousine market of New York City. Within New York City, we have all market players starting with low priced, mid priced and high end priced limousine companies. Consumers are shopping for price-however it is critical to keep in mind to shop wisely for overall service and value. Lets discuss and examine low priced companies such as Dial 7, GroundLInk, and others in low priced bracket.


In New York, there are companies such as Dial 7, Carmel, Ground Link-aka LimoRes who DO NOT own any NOR do they operate any cars. They advertise low as $38.00 to the airport and limos and SUVs from airport for as little as $75.00 to attract consumers. Such companies are unscrupulous because they issue such low rates to attract customers then add hidden charges. Not only do they inflate trip with charges (example: $3.00 voucher fee,) but their independant operators will inflate ride with wait time/ stops to raise that $38.00 to 90-100's range. WHY? The reason is simply that the $38.00 trip is below market, and the operators have to payout 40-60% of the $38.00. Ground Link deducts from the operators 35%, then deducts $2.00 voucher fee from drivers (additional to customers $3.00 voucher fee), and daily fixed operating costs of $6pr trip-(disguised as dues and umbrella insurance). In addition, the company preassigning trips 2 hours in advance and blocking any job opportunity for this indepedant contracter. This means that the $38.00 trip unfortunately will have to equate to a sum of greater or equal to $80.00 or greater.
The $75.00 Limo from airport will eventually become $200.00 or greater.
In addition, considering they dont own and operate any cars, their independant contracters only accept trips on a supply and demand basis. So if they are not accepting any trips, and yet Dial 7, Ground Link accepts reservations. The big question, who is going to pick you up? The company seems to use loose terms as Guaranteed 100% on time. However, when reading their reviews about not drivers and cars NOT being on time, car was cancelled because no one was available, the company responds with more nonsense, " we are 99.5% on time, but unfortunately you were the .5% we could not service".
Will you be one of those reviews who agree with the existing reviewer? Existing reviewers write, " I waited for an hour, I could have been in a taxi cab... I was charged when no service was rendered... I paid double the quoted rate!"
Aside from this, yet we must expose their hiring practices, and inexperienced drivers, and poorly managed fleet of Independant Contracted partners. An independant contracter does not need to have any experience, just bring in your license, a town car (old, new, broke, or sharo-NO problem). This is a seprate article to discuss and examine at a later time.

The mid priced operators have usually better on time performance, sometimes good cars, sometimes not. Mid range players can be categorized as large sized black car BROKERS or a NEW company which owns and operates equipments (who falls within the high end limousine service category)* HOWEVER to break into the market it has rates lower than the High End limousine services.

Then we have the high priced limousine companies such as Carey, Boston Coach, Davel, Bermuda Limousine, Farrells Limousine, Capricorn Limousine. There is no doubt that you will get superior service. Service starts from the initial phone call reservation, customer service, on time performance, vehicle maintenance, drivers experience to billing and invoice
.
Consumers want best service at best possible prices. The worst experience is to get poor service equating to mid range and high end service. Therefore, this article is written to aware consumers about low priced scheme limousine operators & choose a limousine company wisely.

The best scenario is to shop for limousine companies in New York City which own and operate their vehicles, may be new and can compete high end service providers with a better price.
