Operation: Get-Away Car | Selections

I really wish I could have something like this

This will be really quick. Since we had that mishap about the Get-Away car, and that partner turned us down, the Guins have been searching for a local associate who can supply the vehicle. We have communicated with local car rentals, asked about their business, and negotiated if we can close the deal. 

One thing I learned from talking to these car rentals: You'll never have an assurance you'll get the car you want if you talk to them months before you need it. Contrary to my industry's practices, where everything has to be booked the earliest time possible, for car rentals, the earliest is a month or a week before actual use. 0_o

The criteria: "it has to be big, tough, stylish, and black. Think Cosa Nostra, people... That is what we want." We're not going back to the 20's this time, so we're staying away from the vintage. We need something that will bring us to the Speakeasy club after the ceremony fast.

Operation: Get-away Car | Update on Fly to Manila

Hello ladies (and gentlemen)...

It's been a while since I last posted something. Been everywhere recently, all weekends in May are booked with different activities. Anyway, just wanted to share this with you guys. Last weekend, I received an email from Ronnie of Fly to Manila, asking me for my bank details so that he can refund my down payment. The last email I got from him was the one I considered, rather rude email, about the additional fee, etc.

I have been researching for other suppliers since then (which I will post as soon as I get my backlogs done) and found that there are other suppliers, maybe costs not as low as what Fly to Manila offers, but give relatively better deals.

Just wanted to say: I have learned something in this ordeal. One, suppliers tend to change their packages/rates when they learn that their services will be used for a special events vs regular affairs. Two, some suppliers may feel to proud of themselves because they are preferred by clients from a certain group, and may take other clients for granted because they are not from that group. And lastly, make sure your supplier clarifies everything. When there is an issue, they need to resolve it. If they don't, or start sounding rude (like you owe them big time), let go... just imagine how they would be come your big day *wooo... scarry*

Thank you to everyone who posted their comments in my last post about our getaway vehicle. It is indeed true that there should be a sound relationship between us and our suppliers. We'd rather spend more with someone who we can trust, than keep one who may compromise our getaway - just imagine: what if the cops learn about the Cosa Nostra - not good!

Operation: Get-Away Car | Rant over Car Supplier

This, probably, is our first stressing-inducing issue with a supplier. Honestly, I dont want to make a big fuzz about it, but I just want to weigh things whether we should go forward or back out and dismiss them as part of our crew.

For our get-away car, we were looking at Chrysler 300c, but after searching the web for a provider, we came up with another option: a Fortuner.
