How to Prevent Limo Scams

Buyer beware: here are the 4 most common limo scams

Even though there are a great number of perfectly honest, trustworthy and responsible transportation companies across the country, customers can still be caught off guard with limo scams. Why is this industry susceptible to scams? Because limousines are typically hired sight unseen leaving a relatively large margin for error and miscommunications. Here are the four most common limo scams to steer clear of:

• Not The Vehicle Expected
  If the consumer does not insist upon the S. Department of Transportation identification number and a photo of the interior and exterior of the limousine, the operator could substitute a different vehicle without breaching their contract. To prevent this miscommunication, ask for the identification number and photos of the vehicle before you book it.
• Surprising Food and Beverage Charges
  If you don’t require food or beverages, make sure you’re not paying for them. Just let your provider understand your food and beverage requirements beforehand.
• Overcharges
  Suppose your trip to the stadium gets detained for any number of reasons, including driving error. Or, perhaps you want to linger at a business meeting before returning to the airport. Make sure you understand all overcharges and that the terms are specified ahead of time. This should include clarification about any extra charges for the driver.
• Satellite TV and Internet Access Charges
  Most of today’s limousines offer satellite TV and internet access. Make sure you have free access before you step into the vehicle.
