### Invaluable Software Reasonably Priced

I can't imagine running my business without Limo Anywhere. In fact, because of Limo Anywhere, I'm able to keep almost a dozen other owner/operators who are outstanding chauffeurs busy doing the hundreds of rides a month that Limo Anywhere lets us manage with excellent efficiency and effectiveness.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Lets me manage and scale my business efficiently. Coupled with a spreadsheet I developed for accounting and precise tracking/reporting and driver compensation, it's invaluable to letting our business serve our clients with distinction at the same time keeping it profitable at all times.

#### Cons

Because of its extreme flexibility, it has a steep learning curve that's probably daunting to those owners without much technical savvy. Still, their technical support is excellent, with well-trained and highly competent support reps. The biggest problem I've had with it is that it doesn't work as well as it could with Google Analytics to track conversions on reservations made through their Online Reservation System code we use on our website. Google told me it's because the Google snippet they're using is outdated. When I reported that to Limo Anywhere, I got bounced around like a hot potato and have ultimately been neglected.

Once they make contact with you they solve the problem. They seem to know the product backwards. The product is very clunky and hence expensive. you cant get your head around it very easily. However it works beautifully and covers the booking activity from A to Z. I was genuinely amazed by [sensitive content hidden] today. she just ran through every thing with me in a jiffy and she could take me directly to the problem in a particular booking and resolve it in no time. that is what we require. She is a GEM.

#### Pros

seems to be a complete product. They have survived because of their excellent support staff. Every one of them seem to know the product well enough. I beleive they go through the rigors. If they lose any staff they will be stranded.

#### Cons

clunky and not easu to get around it since there are too many loose bits and one need s to have a flow chart but they dont seem to have one for the customer to understand how to reach a particularerror locatiom .

I’m a new user (four months in), and unfortunately my experience with LimoAnywhere has been disappointing. I was told during the sales process that the software would perform certain functions that it simply does not do. Several issues I reported more than 2.5 months ago are still unresolved. To their credit, the frontline support team that answers the phone is excellent—responsive, patient, and very helpful. However, once anything requires mid- or upper-level management, communication drops off significantly. Promises are made, but follow-through has been extremely limited. The software itself is also difficult to navigate. It feels outdated, not intuitive, and far from user-friendly, as though it hasn’t been modernized in many years. I strongly recommend anyone considering LimoAnywhere to ask very detailed questions before committing. Even then, you may find the system cannot do what you were assured it would. Proceed with caution.

#### Cons

When a client makes a reservation for a round trip service the system does not allow me to send ONE email - I have to send 2, one for each reservation. THEN, when I invoice them, I have to send one email with the invoice and ANOTHER with a payment request. So, in total, a single round trip reservation means my client recieves FOUR separate emails.

My time with Limoanywhere has been a long one. I started in 2017 and have been a loyal customer ever since. Limoanywhere was the best choice I could have made at the time. They provided me with everything I needed. The software wasn't perfect but it got the job done. It was easy to use and never had any major issues. Things started to change when they were bought by another company. They started to make changes that were not useful and did nothing but cause more problems. Then they made some more changes that were supposed to help things but did the exact opposite. Now they are charging us for more services that we do not need or want, like credit card processing through them which is not cost effective for us at all. Limoanywhere has become a shell of what it once was, even worse than when I started using it 10 years ago. Now I am looking for another solution that is better than this one, can anyone recommend something?

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

They used to be helpful and go out of there way to walk you through your issues. Bug fixes were fixed promptly.

#### Cons

I've had several issues with bugs that have not been fixed for months. Running reports to pay affiliates show what we get paid for the trip (never used to show it) and now there is no ETA for this fix. Have to take extra steps to dispatch because I always get an error message that doesn't allow me to dispatch. It's unprofessional and the customer support doesn't seem to care. This software has gone downhill and I don't think I can trust this company to handle my bookings. Very disappointed in the quality of service and DO NOT recommend this software to any transportation company looking for booking software.

#### Cons

#### Reasons for choosing Limo Anywhere

Seems like the best fit for my size of operation, also used by many other companies now.

#### Cons

BUYER BEWARE!!! VERY POOR SERVICE TO SAY ONE THING AND MEAN ANOTHER

At times when I just didn’t get it, no problem they set the settings for me. Once I was all set up, it was very easy to use.

#### Cons
