IS THERE ANY DISCOUNT IF I BOOK A ROUND-TRIP?

We generally do not provide discounts for round trip service. We do, however, provide volume-based discounting. Contact us via phone or email to learn more.

IF I DECIDE I WANT TO MAKE A RESERVATION, WHEN DO I NEED TO NOTIFY YOU?

Depending on the market and whether there are any special events occurring, we have been known to accommodate clients with as little as 15 minutes’ notice. To guarantee the availability of your specific vehicle we recommend you provide as much notice as possible.

WHY WERE WE CHARGED FOR TIME WE DIDN’T ACTUALLY SPEND IN THE VEHICLE?

When you reserve a vehicle, a predetermined amount of time is allocated for your use. This includes the time that the chauffeur spends driving to the pick-up point and returning to the garage after drop-off. This approach helps to reduce any scheduling conflicts with your reservation.

THERE ARE FOUR PASSENGERS – WHY CAN’T WE JUST PUT ONE PERSON IN THE FRONT?

Depending on the size of the group, luggage can take up a significant amount of space. Late-model sedans are also getting smaller and the backseat may not be comfortable for a group of adults. We recommend that you reserve a larger vehicle like an SUV.

WHY IS THE PRICE SO HIGH WHEN I CAN GET A CAB FOR LESS THAN THAT?

The short answer is that a chauffeured transportation service is not the same thing as a cab company. While there are some similarities, these are two very different businesses.

Hermes Worldwide provides professionally trained and screened chauffeurs who are always dressed in business attire. In addition to attending an initial defensive driving course, they participate in continuous professional development. Our chauffeurs are also employees who receive benefits such as health, disability, and paid vacation. In addition, our vehicles are also newer luxury models and carry higher liability insurance.

Cab service is charged per mile, while we offer many point-to-point transfers. For longer trips, our service may be more affordable than using a taxi.

WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDED PICKUP TIME FOR MY FLIGHT DEPARTURE?

We recommend that you arrive at the airport no less than 1.5 hours before a domestic flight and two hours for an international flight. Your pick-up time will need to be adjusted for road conditions, weather, and whether or not you’re traveling with children and/or elderly people.

You may not need as much time if you are a member of an expedited security screening program like TSA PreCheck, Clear or Global Entry.

IS IT MORE COST-EFFECTIVE TO MAKE AN HOURLY RESERVATION OR USE TWO SEPARATE TRANSFERS?

This will depend on how much time there is between your pick up and drop off. For a gap longer than three hours, separate transfers may be more economical. An hourly rental is more beneficial, however, if you need more flexibility.

IS THERE A CANCELLATION FEE?

Yes, but certain markets, specialty vehicles, and all special events will have varying and unique cancellation policies. You must clarify with your Reservation Agent the specific policy for your reservation or event.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I PLACE A RESERVATION?

We always suggest as much notice as possible, several days for airport service, and at least two weeks for most hourly charters. Seasonal, off-hour, and special events may dictate more notice, sometimes even a few months, so try to plan accordingly. That said, just contact us whenever you are ready and need service, same day, the same week, or even within the hour.

AREN’T ALL LIMOUSINE SERVICES BASICALLY THE SAME?

Unfortunately, it is not that simple. You should seek out referrals and recommendations from friends, family, and business associates. There are many factors to consider such as reputation, years in business, hours of operation, size and age of the fleet, licensing and insurance, customer service philosophy & back office support & management, depth and type of chauffeur staff – all company employees (screened & trained), and financial stability. Please use due diligence in choosing your transportation service. Do not be hesitant to ask any pertinent questions including proof of insurance. When using larger vehicles especially, any company should provide their USDOT number and company name registered.
