Unfortunately citysearch does not give any business a place to respond to claims or reviews by a customer. This review is in response to ""Terrible Fraud"" posted 11/28/08. The company that you describe is not Daves Limousine. We have shuttle vans that go to and come from Newark and JFK. When a passenger makes a reservation coming into the airport it is for the shuttle (we do not have a price of $70) unless you request private service. The only way a towncar would or could pick up a passenger is if they had previously booked and paid for private service through our office. Our drivers do not take credit cards in the van. All creditcard transactions must go through our office.\r
It is not uncommon for an individual with an unregistered car to search out weary or new to the states travelers to try to make some money, regardless of the fact that this person already has a paid reservation with a company who has rights to provide service. They cruise through the terminals looking for people who need a ride. They put you in their vehicle and leave the airport, once you are out of the airport they then tell you the fee. This fee is usually quite high because they are bringing you back to Philadelphia. This sort of scenario happens to even the frequent traveler because when you ask the driver if they are from such and such a company they say yeah, yeah this way to the car. So when you're not fluent in English,not familiar with the airport and not sure where it is that you are going because you've never been there you are an easy mark for these unethical 'business' like people.\r
We are sorry to hear that your passenger was taken advantage of in this manner on her first trip to the United States. The incident you describe is not the way Daves conducts business. All of our vans and buses are clearly marked with the Daves Best Limousine logo as well as our phone number. \r
Pros: Free advertisement is good
