Is this Reasonable

Help me out ladies

I am having a 2 limo's pickup my FH & from home and dropped off at RH.

I asked my limo company if after they drop off FH can they pick me and bridal party at the hotel we are getting ready at which is literally 3 mins by car from my RH. They are charging $100 extra Is this reasonable?

Re: Is this Reasonable

Ummmm no!! It doesn't matter what they do...you are paying for the time. They can't charge you extra for that!! I have a car taking me and my dad. A SUV limo taking the groom and groomsmen and drops them all of at the church, then the SUV comes back and picks up the BP. I'll leave the same time the BP leaves.

Re: Is this Reasonable

This seems crazy to me if they are charging you hourly. If they are just charging per trip than I suppose it makes sense.

Re: Is this Reasonable

it shouldn't matter how many pick up they do. If your paying for a certain amount of hrs, they shouldn't charge you extra.

Re: Is this Reasonable

Thank you ladies I am only doing a pickup & dropoff only. I am not using them probably no more then 1 hour if that. So I agree what they are charging seems unreasonable.

Chicky724 what limo company are you going with. Thanks

Re: Is this Reasonable

no that is wrong and they shouldnt charge you extra lol. Youre already paying by the hour. I had the party bus go to dh's house first to pick up the guys and drop them off at the church, and then drive to my house to pick my girls up and to the church and i didnt get charged extra. DH and the guys had to be picked up from astoria, church was also in astoria. Then bus had to come to forest hills to get my girls and back to astoria. When you pay by the hour, they go wherever you tell them to, no matter how many stops or what the situation is.

Re: Is this Reasonable

absolutely not!!!! there's no reason for the extra charge, you should be paying a flat rate for the time you have the limos, you're not exceeding that time by having the car pick you up, that's ridiculous

Re: Is this Reasonable

NO WAY!!! Our limo company (Legend Limo) is charging either $15 or $25 (don't remember which) for each additional pick up and that is regardless of the distance between 2 stops. $100 is totally unreasonable. Sorry, hope this works out for you. GL
