A limousine broker must clearly display documentation within LCD that they are a brokering service. Brokers must also prominently display they're a broker on their own company websites or we do not allow them as a member.

This is all to good to be true, what's the catch?

CDIN, and therefore Limo Charter Dispatch were established with two fundamentally rooted premises. One, supply the public with the ability to secure the safest, most cost efficient limousine service through our user-friendly tools. Second, to protect our membership and the consumer from dishonest limousine companies that cut safety and service for a quick profit.

The Charter Dispatch International Network (CDIN) policy is quite simple. Keep our membership cost low and the benefits high. To the consumer the benefit is simple; never charge the customer for our service on any of our websites.

Aren't you actually brokering deals?

Limo Charter Dispatch positively does not broker any limousine business. CDIN websites are effectively engineered to operate without interaction between customer and our staff. Customers may only request service through our membership either by uploading service requests or searching our database. LCD does not operate or hire out any limousines. LCD is a service network that does not own or operate any vehicles. The only time a Limousine Charter Dispatch employee will ever become involved with a customer is when a dispute occurs between an LCD member and customer.

How do you resolve disputes between customer and carrier?

Charter Dispatch believes the customer is always right. We try very hard to instill this type of mind-set throughout our worldwide limousine (and other) networks. Nevertheless, there are certain situations where a dispute is inescapable. As those situations arise we intercede as an impartial third party. We deal with minor day-to-day disputes in another manner, through ratings. The Limo Charter Dispatch members almost never want to have their rating drop, as this rating is what help to generate more and more business for each member. We have found this to be an invaluable and outstanding influence on the service our limousine customers will receive through our member operators and other transportation companies within our network.

Isn't Limousine Charter Dispatch a simple Limo Rates database?

All Charter Dispatch sites are exceedingly sophisticated and complicated databases. In addition to our proprietary search and locator capability for customers desiring immediate limousine rentals, our database also allows limousine service members to show their limo's and facilities, as well as a real time connection to the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) so customers can quickly find out Federal, Provincial or State information about any limousine company; inclusive of insurance, accidents, safety citations, driver citations and much more. Customers may check the rating system on each limousine carrier, verify State or Provincial operating (automation coming soon) authorities and review company referrals. Our database is all inclusive of members whether limousine, party bus, charter bus, rental bus, tour bus, mini party bus, mini bus, limo bus, entertainer coach, sleeper bus or band bus, transit bus operator, bus line carrier, motorcoach, town car, sedan, bus rental, passenger van, ground transportation, stretch limo service, airport service, harbor service and others.

NEW LCD TABLE GOES HERE

Our limo membership reviews this information about your scheduled trip and decides whether to offer a quote via the method you selected at login. Additionally, Limo Charter Dispatch members understand they are in a competitively charged atmosphere, which in turn benefit the consumer with lower prices and higher standards of service.

How do you keep my personal information confidential?

As seen in Example Ref. A. above, your email address and trip details are not visible for viewing by our membership. Telephone and facsimile numbers are optional, so you never have to concern yourself about sales calls from Limo Charter Dispatch members. The only time an LCD member will ever know information about you is when you decide on the limousine carrier and communicate directly with them.

How do I decide on which Limousine Charter Dispatch Company?

As displayed below (Example Ref. B. Limo Company Listings) you can easily decide by accessing our database and searching a specific company (if one has already quoted you). Or, if you're in a rush to find a limousine company, just login and search city, state or zip/postal codes for our nearest limo company members. Once you've selected a few operators you can review their company information, view pictures of limousines, email them anonymously through our site, or access their website through ours. While reviewing your limousine company don't forget to verify State, Federal or Provincial authorities, ratings, as well as references.

Please note, that unless you are in an extreme hurry to find a limousine carrier we recommend uploading your requested service. In this manner you will receive the best possible price through the competitive bid process. You can always check the specifics of a limousine rental company once their bid has been received.

What are the payment methods for Limo Charter Dispatch?

Limo Charter Dispatch does not receive any payment (or money) to rent or hire a limousine. All payments should be made directly through your selected limousine company. Most LCD carriers accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. Some may accept PayPal or other online modes of payment. It is always a good idea to inquire about deposits required and types of payment methods. It is also a good idea to get their cancellation policies in writing.

Who is responsible for chauffer accommodations?

The customer always pays for chauffer accommodations when travelling over-the-road regardless of what a limousine carrier says. It is best to discuss this point before your departure. Always decide on whether you want these "secondary" costs added into your payment, or whether you wish to pay for them separately. Never leave details to chance; always discuss them with your limousine carrier before your scheduled trip approaches. Always receive information in writing.

What is a reasonable gratuity for a chauffer?

Many clients take for granted the technical and critical job of a chauffer. In addition to driving a vehicle up to 35 feet in length and weighing up to 25,000 plus pounds fully laden, your chauffer is a highly trained personal that understands when and what to say to you and your clientele. Normal gratuity per day ranges from 10% (against limousine cost) to $200.00 per day based on a 10-12 hour day or more. For a full understanding of chauffer and vehicle regulations within the Unites States and Canada please go to driver regulations in the Top Ten menu at top of page.
