Oregon Towncar
I have used Oregon Towncar for several years, and their service is excellent. As a frequent business traveler, I have come to depend on them to accommodate my changing schedule, and they have never let me down. Their cars are clean and their drivers are punctual and professional. I highly recommend them to anyone needing their service!

Limousine Brokering
Reservation clearinghouse, or internet broker, doesn't own their own vehicles. They merely take your reservation and farm it out to a locally based company. Once this is done, they effectively loose control over your job, leaving you at risk.For example, lets say you made a reservation with "1800BookALimoFast" for an airport arrival in Boston.
1800BookALimoFast jobs out your reservation to a local company in Boston, say, A-1Boston Limo. If A-1Boston can't accept the job, they call-on another one of their "affiliates" - yes, your reservation is shuffled from company to company until a local company can accept it. You may not get the limo or the service you expected.
The total price you pay is above market. Hidden in the price is a broker premium. This premium could tack on as much as 20% more than regular price than if you dealt direct with A-1 Boston Limo directly. Unfortunately, the premium is not disclosed as it is cleverly hidden in the price.
Because you are1800BookALimoFast's client, and NOT A-1 Boston Limo's client, the service you receive may not be up to par.
If you have any problems with the service, the internet broker has little control over the service; they don't own the cars or hire the chauffeurs. If A-1 Boston Limo receives an opportunity to service one of their OWN clients, you may be left standing.
