Can you negotiate the price with car service companies?

I have gotten a bunch of quotes, and so far Im leaning towards Tiffanys thanks to all the great reviews on here. Im wondering though if the price is at all negotiable??? We want to reserve a limo, but it is an extra charge for grocery. I'm just curious if they can play with the price at all???

Okay, well, you won't know if you don't ask - but don't expect a positive response.

True, just wondering if anyone had any experience getting the rates down a little. I'll be booking one either way, but trying to save a little $ here and there.

You can ask Tiffany if they will price match with another company. I price matched with Murray Hill transportation and saved $25 !

I'd try, the worse they can say is no and you won't be any worse off. I think a lot of companies have some wiggle room with prices that they don't publicize.

Give it a shot... I've negotiated rates for car services (albeit at the airport) and even hotels.

Once I was going to Salt Lake City and wanted to stay at the Hilton. Unfortunately there was some culinary convention at the hotel so they were quite full and the lowest rates were three times as much as nearby hotels. I sent a email to the manager asking him to match the nearby rates (Fed Govt rate) and a few hours later I got an email back confirming my reservation at the rate I requested.
