White Rose Limousine Inc., has been providing Orange County limousine services for over 18 years. We are a TCP-20007-B licensed, full-service limousine company, based out of Orange County. We started our company with only one vehicle and have gradually grown into a reputable and successful company providing Los Angeles and Orange County with dependable Limousine Services. Searching for a limousine company on the web can be tricky due to the numerous false advertisers out there. So many internet limousine websites claim to own vehicles all over the world and that is why you should book with them. The reality is that most of these limousine companies do not own a single car. These websites are reservation clearinghouses; internet brokers who are third-party subcontractors. You may be asking why this poses a problem. The answer is because these businesses put YOU, the consumer, at risk. How does limo brokering put me at risk? Dealing with a limo-broker can be likened to gambling. Here is how: Since a reservation clearinghouse or Internet broker does not own their own vehicles or hire the chauffeurs, they simply pass on your reservation to a locally-based company that is available. There is no guarantee that they can provide the limo or service you requested since they merely find an available affiliate to cover the job. Furthermore, the total price you pay is above market. Hidden in the price is a broker premium of as much as 20% above regular price. At this point you are neither the Internet broker’s client, nor the affiliate’s client. The affiliate company will service their own clients before you. Once this happens, the internet broker is no longer in control of your reservation and you are left on your own. - An Internet broker will claim to be able to “book a car anywhere” or “service over 25 countries and 200 cities”. While, in fact, there are only two to three limousine companies that own cars worldwide.
- An Internet broker will give you instant pricing on your reservation. While convenient, an actual limousine company understands that pricing fluctuates based on the season, current demand and location. In order to give the customer the best price possible all these factors must be considered, and for this reason it is virtually impossible to post standard pricing on a website. However, Internet brokers are not interested in offering the best possible rate. They simply tack on the broker fee to the previously negotiated subcontracted rate.
- Internet brokers obtain names symbolic of national prominence such as, “1800BookALimoFast” or “Limousine Network Worldwide.”
