Limo company double-dipping on our time (1 Viewer)

[Big Cat]

We are in Denver for the 4-20 weekend. I paid for 46 hours of limo time for the weekend, including 12-hour blocks of time today, Saturday & Sunday from 10am - 10pm. Today she dropped us off at 4pm to walk the 16th street mall and have dinner. Told the driver we should be ready between 8pm - 830pm.

Called at 8pm and told her we were ready. Driver replied she was counting on 830pm, so we had to wait 30 minutes.

The problem? I think the limo operator had out driver drive a prom party while we were having dinner ... That's time I already paid for in cash.

Feel like my only recourse is against the driver since she should have refused the job saying the time was already paid for.

And yeah, I'm 100% certain they double-dipped, so let us stipulate that is not an uncertainty.

What should I do?

Smoke some more cheeba and relax, brother.

Get reimbursed for the half hour the driver wasn't available to you? Maybe a full hour if you want to push it? Beyond that, it would probably depend on what you signed off on when you paid.

 

[eoMMan]

Leave jizz stains on the seats.

 

[drummer]

Have sex with the driver

 

[Dexter]

Kill her

why the #### does anyone need 46 hours of limo time over a weekend?

BTW - what did that cost? How does that stack up to a rental car? Do you have a way to write this off as a part of your business?

Seems extravagant. Do you own a mary jane license to sell?

 

[DiStefano]

Kill her

This won't work unless you stuff the body in the trunk and drive the limo into freshly poured concrete which covers it completely.

It worked for Jimmy Hoffa.

They drove the car and charged another party for time I already paid for. no, I'm not totally cool with that. I talked to the driver and told her that was unacceptable and not to let it happen again.

If it does happen again, I take a guess at what they made on the double-dip and subtract from her gratuity at the end of the trip.

Last I checked I needed to be sober to drive a car legally. That doesn't jive with this weekend's theme. Hth.

 

[the moops]

12 hour blocks from 10am-10pm for 3 days is 36 hours. Where the hell are the other 10 hours coming from?

 

[fatness]

Kill her

Weed smokers always do this.

Hint: we arrived Thursday and leave Monday. Satisfied?

Which is why I said you need to look at whatever you signed. If you paid for access to a limo and driver, that may not prevent them from taking another job when you're not using it.

You have the power of tipping, or not tipping. Really nothing to complain about. Won't get you anywhere anyway.

It'd be dumb if the contract didn't provide for that. But If you tell the driver she's OTC at 8:00 and the car isn't sitting there at 7:59 gassed up and ready to go she should automatically be refunding money not telling you she was hoping for 8:30.

The same thing you would do if you got a 3.3 1/8th.

You must be a blast at parties

 

[Osaurus]

Why is airfare to Denver so damn expensive? Thought all the granolas road tripped.

 

[[icon]]

Bust this guys balls or not, but if i pre paid for a car during a window of time and that car wasn't available to me at any point id be upset. Especially if he have a window of time he wanted to be picked up.

I have a guy with an h2 stretch that I book periodically for weddings, parties, nights out... At $70-80/hr it's damn near cheaper than a cab and much nicer. He would never think of double dipping. If I go to a 4 hour event he parks nearby and is waiting outside with door open within minutes of me texting him we are about to walk out... Doesn't matter if it's at the designated time or 2 hours early.

OP, you have recourse. either get credit for an hour or two, of take it out of his tip. Double dipping is unacceptable for hired car service.

[The Big Guy]

I agree that OP sounds a bit like a Richard, but that does not make his point any less valid. If he has booked the time, then that driver should be ready for whatever happens during those hours.

 

[tommyGunZ]

Short the driver on the tip, and let her know that it's b/c you had to wait while she finished that other gig on your dime.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

It'd be a real party if your time blocks went from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

weed, not coke

 

[ILUVBEER99]

He paid for the driver/limo, the service should be his and only his during the window he paid for. How is this a debate?

 

[DA RAIDERS]

and unless the driver owns the limo, taking out your justifiable anger out on her. by knocking $$ off her tip, is misplaced anger. imho unless she's doing jobs on the side, the owner is responsible for dispatching the car to another function, not the driver.

 

[avoiding injuries]

The good news is that you only had to pay 77% of what you would have had to pay if the driver was a man. Sounds like you're still coming out ahead.

I hate to be that way, but if you are not compensated then I would take it out of the tip. Ultimately, you were the one that was put out.

 

[Apple Jack]

OP definitely seems uptight, but his gripe is obviously legit. I'd probably try to find out who was behind taking the additional fare before taking it out of the driver's tip.
