Towncar payments, beware if paying cash

[Prince Eric1]

I recently useds Happylimo and sent my credit card number in to reserve it and sent back a confirmation on the computer authorizing credit card billing if necessary. On my arrival in Orlando when dropped off at the hotel, payment was requested for the round trip and I payed in cash. When i returned home from my trip i got my credit card bill and had been charged for the trip 3 days prior to my trip. I called Happylimo and had no problems getting the charge taken off, the lady said she would do so immediatly, but she said it is standard to charge the card 1 to 3 days prior to the trip. I do not know why the driver requested payment, but for all planning to use a service, find out how you are being charged so this doesnt happen to you. Also, do not take this as a slam on Happylimo as I was happy with their service and would not have a problem using them again, but hopefully someone else can avoid this problem with this information.

Strange ---
I haven't ever had to give any card number of any kind to reserve with YourRide. We have paid cash and used a debit card at the time of out resort drop off.

I didn't have to give a credit card number to FLTours. How interesting.

I too used yourride, and a credit card # was not asked for at the time of the reservation. We had them for transfers to and from the airport, and one day rt to Discovery Cove. I know I paid cash for the airport transfers, and a credit card for the DC trip. No problem.

Last time I used Tiffany they did not ask for CC#at the time of reservation , and I paid my round trip in cash when I was dropped off in resort and never had a problem; as a mattar of fact my driver was 1/2 hour early to pick us up.

Another thing you can do if you reserved on the Internet...

Print out the confirmation that shows the credit card billing, and then on your trip show a copy of that to the driver. If the driver asks, you might use the same credit card.

(You should always print out confirmations when doing any kind of business on the Internet. Always get a receipt for cash paid for anything.)
