Let’s face it, it is expensive to run a ground transportation business. There is no doubt that the limousine industry has suffered from the economic recession, not only from frugal vacationers but also from a clamp-down on business travel. So as the market changes, so does the business plan of transportation companies.
Prior to this economic downtown, ground transportation companies had more flexibility in their budgets. Not now. In fact, every penny counts and one area that can save tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars (depending on the size of the fleet) is extending the life of each vehicle an extra year or two.
Limousine companies are forced to compete by having the nicest, newest vehicles they can afford. Plus they have to keep them in great condition, maintaining that new look. The internet is full of reviews by disappointed limousine clients who were picked-up in cars that did not meet their expectations because of age or dents and dings.
One of the best ways to get an extra year or two out of your cars is to add an extended warranty. The problem is that automobile manufacturers charge a fortune for these extensions because they don’t want you to extend it. Instead they want you to buy a new car!
The solution is simple, buy extended warranties on all of your vehicles through discount extended warranty wholesalers and keep your vehicles operating for an extra 2-3 years. This is not a tactic, but a realistic shift in business that will help company owners survive in the new economy, especially limousine service companies.
On a final note, BE CAREFUL when buying extended auto warranties for your fleet. Here are a few noteworthy articles to help you avoid “getting taken for a ride”:
