SCAMS GALORE!!!

Cheap is not always the best option

We've all had our share of scams, it being from emails to apps. They're frustrating, too good to be true. We want to believe them but yet... Did you know that there are limousine scams as well? Sometimes the drivers of limos aren't qualified. Businesses just want to save another buck by not certifying their drivers with a HACK license, which allows someone to drive a limousine. Some advice? If you think the price is too good to be true, visit them and take a tour through their facility and inspect their limos.

Who is driving you?

There have been numerous incidents including taxis, limousines, and other transportation industries. The customer doesn't know who the driver is, or what to expect. Some businesses aren't strict with their drug and alcohol tests as FTL-LIMO is, resulting in unlicensed drivers transporting unsuspecting passengers. Without deep background checks, we wouldn't know if a criminal was driving you or not. There have been cases where some passengers have been kidnapped by their driver. It's best to use a trustful transportation service that can keep you safe throughout your destinations.

The master of disguise

Just like profile pictures, images of limousines can be deceiving. Some companies display top-of-the-line pictures of their vehicles, promising luxury and enjoyment. But in person, the limos don't exactly...live up to your standards. Relating back to the "if the price is too good to be true" advice: if you want to guarantee their services, go look at their vehicles. There are some little slip-ups you could catch on their websites. Some websites make it seem as if they have an endless supply of vehicles, but in reality they have a wide range of affiliates that they could "give" you to. But don't worry about us! At FTL-LIMO, what you see is what you get. :)

So what should I do?

Well, like we said before. We recommend that you go to the limousine company. Inspect the vehicle and permits. Meet the management! Ask for your driver's name and cell phone number to confirm your trip. That clears up the chances of incidents. It's best to take precautions just like we do at FTL-LIMO.
