I saw the $39 vouchers on KGB Deals and thought I would give them a try. I appreciate punctuality and when a driver arrives a little before the scheduled pickup time, but when I used On Time Limo for the first time, the driver arrived more than a few minutes early. In fact, he arrived exactly one month early. After making arrangements via email for another trip, an airport pickup, the driver called my wife to ask the time, date, and location of the pickup, which I thought was odd because it was all in the email he was calling about. This was not the first phone call made to ask about the details. It seems as if they do not like to write information down and have a horrible memory.
Before flying back to LAX, where OTL was supposed to pick us up, we called the driver to let him know that our flight had been delayed by an hour. He seemed confused by the time because he said he had us scheduled to be picked up a few hours earlier than our original arrival time and that we were flying on a different airline and landing at a different terminal. I would have thought that after so many calls to ask us about our appointment details, they would have had it right, but I guess I should just applaud them for at least getting the date and airport correct. After correcting the driver about the details and telling him of the delay, he told us that it was not a problem and for us to call him when we landed. Rather than having On Time Limo waiting for us when we arrived, there was a voicemail instead, informing us that they would no longer be picking us up. So, we were left at the airport at 2am without a ride.
In the event that On Time Limo actually picks you up, here is what you can expect: 1) the driver will be holding a gps/traffic update device in one hand and the stylus to operate that device in the other hand, 2) when the driver is not using said device, the driver will be conducting business on his cell phone without any handsfree device. In short, the driver will be distracted for most of the trip, affecting his driving.
If you see, a $39 special or any other deal, don't expect that to be the final price. They will add $27 at the time of service for taxes and tip. Yes, the tip is a mandatory 20%.
When talking to anyone from On Time Limo on the phone, there is a definite language barrier. The representatives have a very heavy accent, making it difficult to understand what they are saying. We tried emailing them the second time in order to avoid this issue, but they called us upon receiving the email, so this was futile. Language could explain some of their confusion as to appointment details, though I highly doubt it is the sole explanation. Nonetheless, On Time Limo desperately needs to hire a receptionist with better English skills.
