If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Unfortunately that is not an option…read more
On April 28th I purchased a trip through Groupon for an 8 hour limo ride to Sonoma/Napa. The same day I contacted Limo Online (limoonline.net) to finish the booking for May 18th. It was late in the day and a Sunday so I waited until Tuesday to follow up, which I did with another email.
I then called the number listed on the site (415.732.9900) and a man answered saying "limo service". I introduced myself and asked if they had received my email. He said they had not and that it was odd because they typically get back to their customers within a day. I verified the email address which was not correct and resent to the correct address.
On May 1st they sent me the forms to fill out and I filled them out and sent them back at 12:26PM. They then emailed me back saying they did not get them, so I scanned them directly into an email and sent them back on May 2nd at 9:13AM. I have followed up with phone calls, and emails and was not contacted back.
I work in customer service myself and understand it can be annoying to have someone contact you over and over, especially if you're busy. I contacted them on May 6th, 12th, and 14th via email and April 30, May 1st, and May 14th by phone, simply trying to confirm they had our information and the travel plans. I was never contacted back.
They also have a toll free number, (855) 267-8687, listed on their site which I tried to contact. It sent me to a call center that offered me a $100 dollar gift card if I just gave them my credit card number over the phone, screamed scam to me, so I told the person on the phone they should have my information as I had send the authorization forms via email twice and via text message once. As soon as I said that, the person on the other end hung up on me. I called them back, same thing, I was hung up on again.
I have tried to use their "contact us" feature on the web site, when I submit the form it just says under all boxes "the email address seems incorrect". I confirmed it was correct and tried again with the same result. I then thought maybe it was because I was on a tablet and needed a computer so I waited until I got home from work to try again with the same result.
Finally with half a day to go (my wife gave them a deadline of 12PM) they contacted me and said everything was fine. I didn't have much faith considering how little contact I had with them. The day of the ride came and we still really had no idea if the car would come. I had asked for the drivers information however was never given anything. Finally the car did come (20 minutes late) and we were off.
The limo itself was alright at best. There was a not great odor but we dealt with it. The drivers side window did not function and the passengers side had a terrible tint job on it, so bad you could not look out the window. The temperature controls would only blow cold air, no way to make it warmer.
After we returned we unloaded all of our purchased merchandise from wine country, thanked our driver tipped him and went inside. It was not until a couple hours later we realized we had forgotten two bottles of wine in the back of the car. I texted Mike (our driver) and he called me back at 9:50PM on 5/18/2019 to let me know he had found the bottles and he was available to drive out that night. I told him that was crazy and he didn't need to drive right out, we could meet up sometime in the next couple days.
I texted him on 5/20, 5/23, 5/24, 5/28, and finally on 6/4 telling him I would be willing to drive anywhere to meet him to get these bottles back as they are expensive and not even mine. We have also contacted the company directly however we have had no response from anyone. At this point we are assuming they will not contact us and have stolen our purchased wine.
I would not recommend this company to anyone for any reason. Typically I do not like to leave reviews like this and if it were my wine I may have just backed off, unfortunately it was purchased by a friend that rode in the limo with us and I am doing anything I can to get in touch with this company, however they are totally unresponsive. 0 stars.
