Some transportation companies employ a technology called Auto Dispatcher. This allows them to automatically dispatch orders to drivers through a computer rather than using a live dispatcher. Although this may save the transportation company money, it can lead to unnecessary errors and dispatching vehicles based on when they become available rather than current location and proximity to client. This means that a driver may become available who is 45 minutes away from the client and he/she will be dispatched to the job. A few minutes later another vehicle may become available that is only 5 minutes away from the client but he/she will not be sent to the job. Live dispatchers always ensure that the chauffeurs are sent on jobs the efficient way. Vincent Limousine does not utilize Auto Dispatcher.

As defined by the IRS, an employee may be instructed when, where, and how to work and may be trained to perform services in a particular manner (independent contractors use their own methods). Vincent Limousine hires all of its chauffeurs as employees. This means that Vincent Limousine has total control over the amount of training its chauffeurs participate in, it has control over what the chauffeurs wear, and it establishes the rules that chauffeurs must abide by in order to be an employee of Vincent Limousine and Vincent’s managers are able to give reviews to monitor performance. Because all of our chauffeurs are employees and not independent contractors, we are able to schedule chauffeurs based on customer’s needs, not upon driver availability Vincent Limousine chauffeurs receive health benefits and 401K participation. Our career chauffeurs are extremely safety conscious as they depend on their clean driving record to earn their living.

The IRS defines an independent contractor as a worker who is in business for him or herself. As a general rule, when an independent operator is hired, the payer only has the right to control or direct only the result of the work done and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result. A transportation company that hires independent contractors as chauffeurs cannot enforce: chauffeur policies, a dress code, schedules, training, cannot require meeting attendance, and cannot discipline if problems arise. Using an independent contractor network is in essence using a broker or consolidator that employs hundreds of separate companies. The biggest problems companies face with independent contractor’s are scheduling conflicts and inability to discipline if issues arise. Vincent Limousine does not employ the independent contractor model.

The biggest difference between the two is the amount of behavior control the employer has over the worker in terms of where, when, and how the job is done, among other factors

We have a simple policy in this complicated world. We do NOT charge if you cancel one hour in advance of your reservation time.

Your hourly rate for travel in Manhattan and its outer boroughs is based on a ninety-minute minimum. This means that if you request a vehicle and use it for only thirty minutes, you’ll be charged for an hour and a half. Why?
Because we base our rates on portal-to-portal service; the time your vehicle leaves our terminal until the time it returns. That additional half hour is travel time used to initiate your trip and complete it.
Your rate will reflect charges for tolls and parking if they apply. If they don’t, it won’t.

Your rate for service outside the greater New York metropolitan area will be quoted upon request. We’d drive you to California if you asked. Ask! But be prepared for us to quote you a price reflective of these types of trips.
