Let me start this review off by saying DO NOT use this company. Listen to the terrible reviews that are on yelp and google and don't try and and give them a chance. They have low prices which is why, of course, I decided to go against the reviews and take a chance hoping that others were exaggerating. However, they were far from exaggerations and I got stuck in a two week battle with this company. Please read this entire review so you DO NOT get stuck having a similar problem with this scamming company.
On May 16th I booked 2 cars with Route 22 Limousine for my wedding; a Chrysler 300 stretch and an Excalibur. The booking process with Danny went smooth and it seemed as though I no longer had to worry about the limos for my wedding. However, the very next day I received a phone call from Danny asking to call him back as there was a problem with the stretch that I booked. Calling him back, immediately, I proceeded to tell me that someone already booked the limo and he wasn't made aware (not sure how, but that was his excuse). He told me he spoke with the owner who had a GREAT replacement vehicle for me for NO extra charge. Although i was upset, I was ready to see what this replacement would be. A Mercedes sprinter van. Yup, a van. If you don't know what this van looks like, please take a brief pause and go check it out. Of course, I was upset that they tried to replace a beautiful limousine with a van. After explaining that nothing else was available for me, I asked for a FULL refund on both deposits that I'd already paid (1 deposit for each car). He continued to talk about the van saying it's a great choice and eventually said someone would call me back about the refund.
The next day, a woman called and said she put the refund through late the night before, however, one didn't go through right away. So, I'd be receiving one refund before the other - by Monday and Tuesday the LATEST. The weekend passed, Monday and Tuesday came by so quickly and Wednesday I decided to call them after not receiving one of the two refunds. Danny picked up the phone and said to me that he would be me on a brief hold to find out what happened. After a couple of minutes, I was hung up on. I called back immediately, getting Danny on the phone again and he said he would still find out. I explained that I wanted to speak to someone else and asked him to transfer me. He told me he COULD NOT transfer me to anyone as his phone doesn't allow it. However, he's already transferred me in the past so I know this was a lie. I was told I'd receive a phone call in just a few minutes. I, of course, didn't receive a phone call. So I continued to call getting Danny on the phone each time. Dialing every extension, I continued to reach Danny every time. Conveniently for him, the Owners voicemail was full. This back and forth game of hang ups, being placed on hold and being told I would receive a call back lasted for TWO WEEKS! I finally was able to speak to someone else who said she called the credit card company they work with and asked them to put it through again and that I would receive my refund by Tuesday, May 18th. Of course, I did not.
The next day I called back and for the first time in two weeks, the owner, Oscar answered the phone. I explained to him what was going on (which he states he had no clue was going on) he checked out what was wrong with my refund where he told me the reservation number was entered multiple times, causing the refund to not match an account. Obviously, this was done on purpose. He assured me he would speak to his staff (and the call center that Danny works for). I finally received my refund the next day on May 20th.
This is the WORST customer service and company I have EVER dealt with. I'm not one for reviews, however, in this case I feel it's important that people know what they're dealing with.
Route 22 Limousine is NOT a professional company, however, they're filled with SCAMMERS! Don't be scammed!!! read more
