About Time Limousines

Larry was the best! We called several companies and had a hard time finding someone who would travel the winding road to Pilot Hill. Larry got our bridal party there safely, on time and in style! Would not hesitate to recommend him for any occasion! Thanks Larry!

I wanted to rent a limo as a bachelor party gift for a friend. About Time Limousines was the first call I made that did not take me to an automated system. Larry answered the phone and was polite and to the point. I wrote down his price and then proceeded to call other companies for the next hour as I had never rented a limo before and didn’t know what price point to expect. After about a dozen calls Larry’s price still hadn’t been beat, so I gave him a call back and booked my reservation. Larry’s positive attitude about not worrying about the details and just having a good time made me feel very comfortable about the transaction. There were NO hidden fees or extra costs associated. His price included the service, tax, and tip.
Our driver was Chris and he showed up right on time. He was driving Blanca, an eight passenger white limo. Chris was very professional and charismatic. He gave us a quick rundown of the controls and rules in the limo and we were quickly on our way. Once we got to our venue we even invited Chris to sit with us because he was such an easy going and friendly guy, we really felt like he was a part of our group. When it was time to leave we weren’t ready yet, so Chris told us pricing for an extra hour which was very reasonable so we decided to take it. Chris did such a great job that we were sure to tip him a little extra at the end of the trip.
This was my first experience renting a limo and the next time I decide to have an outing in a limo Larry will be my first and last call. The limo was nice and clean, Larry was very easy to work with for booking, and Chris was friendly and professional. Every part of my experience with About Time Limousines was a treat. If you are looking for limo service, give Larry a call!

Had the best time with Larry and his limo ride to Stockton to see George Thorogood last night. They always do a great job and go above and beyond. Would recommend for any need.

Excellent! We have used About Time Limousines many time for trips to the airport and wine tours. They are always professional and they know their wineries. Our group always has a great, carefree time when they are driving!

Had a special event at the sac republic game. Our driver, Larry was awesome and everything was professional and classy. We experienced a magical night. Thank you so much!

I can’t say anything about this company’s service because my fiancé and I didn’t end up using them after they got a $ 100 non-​refundable deposit from us and then reneged on the services they promised to offer.
My fiancé and I wanted to book a limo for the entire night to take multiple trips shuttling our guest to our wedding venue and back to the hotel at the end of the night. We relayed this to the person on the phone (can’t remember his name) and he gave us a quote. Only after we gave him a $ 100 non-​refundable deposit did this man claim we misunderstood what services we would be getting and said we could only take one trip in the limo because it was prom season and he would need it. He suggested we rent a bus at $ 25 a head to get the guests back to the hotel at the end of the night. It would have cost about $ 3,000 and the guests would not be able to leave at their leisure but rather wait until the bus was full.
For less than half that we found a limo company near our home in Modesto that made the 80 mile trek up to Sacramento and gave us a Hummer limousine for the entire night for less than half the price. If you go with About Time Limousines I would recommend getting everything in writing before giving them any money. Lesson learned on my part.

My experience with about time limo has been nothing but excellent. Driver was super courteous and nice. I can’t complain much. They took us out on a photoshoot in style. We had such a great time sitting in the limo feeling like a boss. They’re also very professional. I would recommend these guys.

We used About Time Limos for our wedding at Scribner Bend Vineyards and were very happy with their service. Reasons:
1. Working with Larry was easy — we explained what we needed (limo for the bridal party, shuttles for guests), and he created a plan that was within our budget. He was easy to contact for questions, too. We also touched base beforehand to finalize details, which put my mind at ease.
2. The shuttle drivers were great — they contacted me beforehand to touch base and check on any last minute details.
3. The drivers were punctual — very important when transporting guests to a wedding!
4. Limos were spacious and comfortable.
When planning a wedding, we learned that you want to use vendors that are trustworthy and experienced — it makes the planning process, and the actual wedding day, much easier. Larry and his limo company fit the bill!

Awesome! I have used them on two different occasions. One was for a girl wine tasting trip. If any of us bought any wine, he would take it back to the limo for us. It was awesome! Very professional. The other time was for my wedding. The driver picked up all parties on time and even helped my girls with my dress. I would definetly use them again and again!

I had a «pretty good» experience with About Time Limousines. Our driver was Larry. He was very nice, punctual, and knowledgeable. He also bagged and labeled all of our purchases. He took us to some of the wineries that I think they take most everyone else too. I’m not sure if they get kickbacks from these wineries or not. I’m guessing yes. We went to Convergence which was good and he recommended Tanis which was outstanding — our favorite winery of the day! So far so good… then we visited a few of my picks before visiting the last of Larry’s recommended wineries — Dry Town (which we called Fly Town due to the ungodly stench and all the flies in the winery) and Terafina. Both were subpar — to say the least. Though Terafina had a beautiful view their wines were poorly balanced and I couldn’t bring myself to buy a single bottle there. Same with Dry/​Fly town. Couldn’t taste through my nausea… the tasting room literally smelled like dog crap. gag. We didn’t have any hidden fees as this limo was purchased through a charity auction. We each tipped Larry $ 20 for a total of $ 160. We were not asked to pay tax or gas as that was apparently included in our winning bid.
I would recommend using this service and would use them again myself. I would just be a little more firm with them on which wineries I visited and not be terribly eager to take their advice on where to go.

The limo, service, and driver were great. Just watch out for the hidden fees. I purchased a four hour limo ride for our wedding day through living social. We were picked up early so we could take pics around town, etc. Everything went smooth, ride was nice. We proceeded on with our wedding, was picked up at the church and then driven to the reception. All together, we traveled a total of less than 20 miles. Upon dropping us off at the reception, I was handed a bill that was not covered in the living social. Another $ 70 or so. I didn’t have cash on my, so thank goodness my best man didn’t blow all of his cash at the bachelor party. Sneaky sneaky, nothing about this extra fee was mentioned in the original agreement. But everything else went as smooth as expected and the driver was great.

Hmmm… since you can’t read my mind… I’m giving them a 2.5 rating!
How do I do this — I want to rate this on my experience with them as a business and my experience on the day of our wine trip to Amador. I guess I will do just that.
Company:
Lacking all types of business professionalism. I understand first hand, that if you advertise on Living Social, you aren’t making a huge profit, rather trying to attract new customers to your business. That being said, whoever my friend was dealing with, in regards to setting up our trip and using our LS discount, was lacking tact.
She wanted to make sure there weren’t any hidden charges, as have been in the news lately. Said person wrote back that we had to pay tax (okay), demanded 20% gratuity, and gas funds (never heard of this before). The last time I checked, and the four or so other wine tours I participated in, we tip according to the service. Yes, they do mention that generally its 20%, but no one has ever outright demanded their gratuity. If you have faith in your employees, you should let their work do the talking. Also, build gas into your pricing model, come on, Business 101!
That being said — I already had a bad taste in my mouth for this company. With a few weeks to let this stew, I was already slightly hostile, in my mind of course.
Day of Trip:
Its 12PM, we see no sign of our limo. We made a call and the person working there said, «Isn’t your appointment at 1PM?» Um no, there is email documentation stating 12PM sharp, buddy. Well, they got their act together and were there, albeit 15 minutes late.
I feel like we got played a bit. Read on for details! Phil was our driver, who I also noticed via Unilocal (just right now) is also the manager. Is this a one man show, kind of interesting. So, sweetly, in the limo was a bottle of Convergence Winery’s Mr. Bubbles, sparkling wine. He said we’d be stopping there eventually, which was okay because we all actually really enjoyed this beverage :)
So once we got to Convergence, he promptly took my friend aside and asked her for the tax/​tip/​gas money. Right then and there. He didn’t have the decency to ask when we arrived home, like any professional would. He took it before we even stepped foot in our first winery. How offensive…
Let’s just say we wine tasted of the beaten path. I’m actually okay with this, because I’ve stopped at all the recognizable ones before. After Unilocaling, it looks like he takes the same path every time. Our group really loves the Almond Champagne from somewhere out here and we asked him if we could go there. He was adamant that it was out of the way, we needed a reservation, and they charged a fee. There was no consideration of even going there, which was slightly rude.
Maybe my standards are too high, but I thought it was very unprofessional of Phil to pick up his membership allotment at SeraFina winery when we were there. I understand its convenient, but I just think its rude to do personal errands while we are spending our money for his service. Maybe I’m over sensitive on this matter, but whatevs.
This is also the first time I’ve only been to 3 wineries on a four hour wine tour. I think that Phil should have kept us on a better schedule so we could visit four wineries.
Overall, being surrounded by 8 of your closest girls makes ANY situation better. Also, an abundance of snacks and calories doesn’t hurt either. I truly appreciate supporting the local wineries and visiting every once in awhile, it just doesn’t sit well with me when I don’t feel like your business is being professional or honest.
Living Social can be a gamble… lesson learned!

I booked About Time Limousines to serve as a shuttle during my wedding in June. We were using the limo to transpor three groups of guests from downtown Sacramento to the Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove. The driver, Lisa, called me prior to pick-​up as a courtesy to go over any details and ensure that I understood what the four hours of service would entail. bLisa was very pleasant and transported all the groups to the Grand Island Mansion in a timely manner.
The dock for the one star is that the gentleman I booked the limo with indicated that the limo could hold ten passengers. When the limo arrived, I was told by the driver that the limo could only hold eight passengers. Luckily, we only had eight people at a time to transport, but I wish the man I booked with was honest up-​front. If I had ten passengers and had to turn two away, I would have been in a pickle to figure out how to transport the other two to my wedding.
Honesty up front is the best way to conduct business and About Time Limousines fell slightly short of this.

We booked this limo service through a generous special that we saw around Christmas time and planned for an evening viewing lights. Unfortunately, most folks took down their displays before our reservation. The owner, Larry took initiative and called to suggest that we use our service at a later date.
When that later date presented itself, I called About TIme Limousines and promptly arranged a time. ATL was punctual, professional, and easy-​going. I have not often rented limos, but ATL make the process a breeze.
Would use ATL again, and I recommend them.
