FAQ’s

Are you able to pick up at the curbside at Logan or Manchester Airport?

No, Logan & Manchester Airports are very strict regarding this issue for limos. Every terminal has a designated limo area. And you must meet us in this area. In your reservation confirmation you will receive instructions were the limo areas are in each terminal.

Do we have to share the vehicle with other passengers?

No, We only provide private non-stop services.

Is my reservation confirmed immediately after I book it?

No. Your booking is not confirmed until you receive a confirmation e-mail from us.

Do you allow smoking in your vehicles?

All vehicles are strictly NON-SMOKING. If any passenger smokes in a vehicle a minimum cleaning fee of $250.00 will apply, plus cost of repairs for any damage related to smoking.

Are your chauffeurs always on time? What if the chauffeur is late?

Our drivers are always timely dispatched and they are at the pick-up location at least 10 minutes prior to your booking time. They are almost always on time but, even with the help of traffic monitoring and travel guidance, unexpected delays may occur in rare instances. In such cases our dispatch team would call you and update you on the driver status. If you do not see your driver, please contact our office immediately at 603-670-3235 or 800-494-0508.

Can I request a particular driver?

Yes! We love when we have repeat clients that really hit it off with their chauffeur and wish to request them for their next service. By all means, ask our office staff who your last chauffeur was if you cannot remember his/her name. Of course there are times we can not accommodate this due to scheduling issues.

How will I know when my vehicle has arrived at my pick-up location?

You will be automatically notified via text (with contact information) when your driver is on the way to your location and upon arriving at your location. Please be on the lookout for your vehicle 5-15 minutes prior to your scheduled arrival as the drivers are trained to arrive 15 minutes early.

In case your location is hard to see at night or you anticipate us having difficulty finding you. You may also call our office should you need to reach your chauffeur prior to your first pickup.

How will I reach my chauffeur after our event is over and we are ready to leave?

You will have his contact information via text, so you will be able to text or call him when you are ready to leave.

How far in advance should I make my reservation?

As soon as your plans are fairly definite, just give us a call 800-494-0508 to set up your reservation. We always suggest as much notice as possible, especially during our peak seasons (spring & fall). We can accept your reservation up to one year in advance. As soon as you know all the pertinent details, at least the date and time of your travel, special event just call or e-mail us at [email protected] .

Do you charge any taxes in addition to the fare?

We do not charge any tax on our fares.

What if I only need the vehicle to pick us up and drop us off? Can you offer this type of service?

Yes, just pay the per milage rate to get dropped off and picked up. A transfer is basically a direct, one-way pick up and drop, at a set time. Extra stops and additional driving around are not calculated in the pricing and would add to the charges. It is best to review all details at the time of reservation to determine what type of service will best suit your needs. Some situations we can not leave the drop off point such as Patriots games at Gillette Stadium, and some concert venues.

If you chose an hourly rate for your event, minimum hourly rental terms will apply. And there are many advantages to this structure, especially for special events and occasions. You have the same vehicle and chauffeur guaranteed for your entire service. You can leave your belongings in the vehicle. You have unlimited stops, the vehicle and chauffeur are available to you as directed. It is generally more relaxing to know that you have the vehicle at your disposal for the specified rental period.

How long does it take to confirm my booking, if it is not done automatically?

This might vary depending on the day and time of request. About 90% are confirmed in less than 30 minutes.

Is gratuity included?

Most customers like to add the 20% gratitude in with the fare. If you would like to tip your driver in cash just let us know when you book your reservation.

Do I have to prepay for my ride?

Yes, we do require prepayments. Your credit card will be charged the night before your reservation. You will receive an electronic invoice after your reservation is confirmed.

No two limousine companies are alike. Some focus their service offerings on corporate and leisure clients (as we do) while others cater to weddings and special events.

Please use due diligence in choosing your transportation service. Do not be hesitant to ask any pertinent questions including for proof of insurance.
