Frequently asked questions
PRICING
Can You Match Prices?
No. Premium Transportation Service is not a commodity. If we matched prices, we would have to cut corners on your safety and comfort, and that would take away from you receiving the best experience. We always offer the best or nothing. If you expect excellent service, then please understand that you should trust your business to professionals and be willing to pay professional rates.
Do You Have Cheaper Cars?
No, TUXEDO doesn't have cheap cars. We are known for providing customers with the best experience in transportation. We are not a regular cab company, or an electronic hitchhiking service, and have only modern premium vehicles in our fleet. We cater to discerning customers and are focused on giving you high-quality premium service, professionalism and worry-free experience.
What Is Up-Front Worry-Free Price?
- No hidden fees and no surprises at the end of the trip;
-
No extra charges if your flight is delayed or rescheduled; -
Guaranteed full refund if cancelled 7 days or more prior to scheduled transfer.
Is Gratuity Included In The Fare?
When quoting for a transfer, we separate the amount that is paid to the company for the transfer from the gratuity charge that is paid to your chauffeur. A minimum of 20% gratuity is required as part of the price. You will authorize the gratuity amount before you reserve your transfer. We will process the gratuity charge as a separate transaction to the same credit card within 60 minutes after finalizing payment.
My Toddler Is 3 Years Old, Is There a Discount?
Aren't All Car Services Basically The Same?
No, they are not. You should pursue referrals and recommendations from friends, family, business associates, or reputable websites and apps. There are many aspects to consider such as status, years in operation, size and age of fleet, and customer service policies. Please be cautious when you choose who is going to be driving you and your family around this beautiful state.
Is Tuxedo Any Different From Other Car Service Companies?
It may sound cliché but the truth is, you get what you pay for. Renting an upscale vehicle for your airport pickup and for your other transfers is a luxury experience, like selecting a 5 star hotel or restaurant, and is typically reserved for a special occasion. If your choice is based on price you run the risk of being taken advantage of, usually resulting in serious disappointment on your vacations and other special days. Our passion is your satisfaction!
Lower prices may be a red flag for such things as:
1. A late model vehicle - you should be sure of the year, make and model of the vehicle you are renting.
2. Minimal maintenance - unfortunately these are just a few of the things we commonly see in Orlando from "inexpensive" luxury transportation providers.
-
Air Conditioning is not functional
-
Exterior & interior lights not all working
-
A broken or missing TV/stereo
-
Damaged roof (outside and inside)
-
Dirty vehicle
3. No proof insurance or city permits.
4. Chauffer's who are underpaid are unhappy which translates to poor service and a bad experience for you and your guests.
5. Driver fails to arrive on time, or does not show up in the promised vehicle, or does not even show up at all (after your 'great-deal' low-price reservation was made they found another client who was willing to pay more and then "forgot" to call you).
Running a luxury transportation company is not cheap. Is it worth it for you to save a few bucks on your special occasions?
We are proud to provide clean, well-maintained, properly licensed and permitted vehicles driven by well-trained professional chauffeurs who are courteous, prompt and helpful. Furthermore, we are members of Better Business Bureau with A+ rating and the #1 transportation company in Orlando, according to TripAdvisor.com
Can I Pay Gratuity With Cash?
Minimum required gratuity 20% of the fare and additional services is to be authorized and charged to customer's credit/debit card as part of the contract. You may give extra gratuity with cash if you choose so, you are not required to give more than the minimum, though.

PICKUP
How Do We Meet At The Airport?
PICKUP WITHOUT MEET & GREET SERVICE
STEP 1. Upon landing and as soon as you have a cellphone signal, please call at 407-450-1400. After notifying of your arrival, proceed to Baggage Claim area which is located on Level 2
PICKUP WITH MEET & GREET SERVICE
Why is the pickup time differs from the time when the flight arrives?
To allow you enough time after landing at the airport to walk to bag claim area to retrieve your checked luggage and then walk to a pickup spot. We normally schedule pickups in 30 minutes after landing of domestic flights and in 80 minutes after landing of international flights. If you do not plan to travel with checked luggage, that could save you approximately 10 minutes. Please be sure to notify us about that so we can properly schedule your pickup.
