Limousine price

[Zazza]

Hello everyone

I am French, I booked a stay for our honeymoon in RPC
Grand Floridian from 17 to 26 May 2010 and a limousine to
trips from airport to hotel.

After some research on the internet I feel I can
rent a limo for two times cheaper than the price offered by
disney.
I found that I could enjoy a limo for $ 200 then
disney me that the $ 400 bill
Is that correct?
If so, why is there such a price difference?
What should I do?

As I said I'm French and I do not quite understand
English and it's not that easy to understand for me
Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad English (thank you google translation )

Well, the question is can you cancel the limo portion of your trip?

If you can cancel your limo reservation through disney, do that, then make your own reservation for a limo.....

If you are staying at the Disney World property and do not have a Disney Cruise Line cruise ship portion booked you can do things differently and for less money.

Disney offers something called Disney's Magical Express. This is a bus service to the resorts on Disney's property. There is no additional charge for this. I am not well versed in international arrivals and departures, but it should work the same. You can take a bus from the airport to your resort hotel and then on your departure day they will pick you up and bring you back to the airport.

A limousine will cost you about US$200 or so and a town car (which is a not a stretch limousine, but a 4 door sedan vehicle will cost you a bit over $100 both round trip. Please note in the US it is standard to give a limo driver a gratuity of roughly 18-20% the cost of the service.

I hope this helps and if you need any clarification for translation purposes let us know.

www.happylimo.com is a local limo company we have used and had a great experience with. www.mousesavers.com provides you with a discount code for round trip airport service. we rented the limos from them and they were very clean, prompt, courteous and professional. There are also many other great recommendations on this board that people have had great experiences with. Good luck.

Thank you for your answers

There is still time that I cancel my booking limousine at Disney
I paid a large part of the stay but not all.

I also understood what Disney's Magical Express is, but I
really want to have a limousine for the trip.
So if I understand Disney abuse really the price?
There was no advantage to book directly through Disney?

I am sure Disney charges more for booking a limo than it costs for you to do it on your own, but you also should see what costs are in the Disney charge and what costs are in the prices you are looking at. For example, if a tip for the driver is included in what Disney charges and not in the price you are getting from the limo company, that could account for some of the difference. In most cases, drivers here will expect a gratuity that is not included in the price you are given on the limo company site.

Bonjour - Notre coût d'un towncar = $100 US roundtrip
pointe = $10 chaque façon
Towncars peut retarder à quatre gens.
Avoir une grandes vacances

I like translators too. In English:
Hello - Our cost of a towncar = $100 US roundtrip
tip = $10 each way
Towncars can hold up to four people.
Have a great vacation.

Be sure you are talking about the same thing here.....many people use the word limo when they really mean towncar.
A limo is a limo...can be a stretch.
A towncar is a Lincoln Towncar..holds 4-5 people in addition to the driver. It is just a nice, regular car.
A true limo always costs more than a towncar.

I'll call Disney to see if the tip is included, if it's not the case, i will take care myself of booking.

And when I say limousine it's for a very long drive not
berline.

(you have 1 word for 2 different car . In France the word limousine is only used for very long luxury car, and berline for luxury car but normal size)

Thank you for your help
