Charmed Limousine Service

I just called Charmed to inquire about reserving a limo for a party of 8 for approximately 8 hours. Dave informed me that unfortunately the day we were interested in going wine tasting was already fully booked. He did have availability for the next day, a Sunday, though. This could have worked, since the wine tasting event lasts two days.
When I asked Dave if he could give a guesstimate or estimate for how much something like this would generally cost, he said «No, actually we don’t do that. But I can refer you to a different company.» Wait… What? Did I miss something here? Seemed a bit strange to me that Dave wouldn’t give an estimate for Charmed’s services.
IMO I asked a reasonable, and straight forward, question that deserved a reasonable, straight forward answer.
Dave seemed nice. I’m sure his reviews are well deserved. Offering the name of another company (in Fremont… kind of far from Sunnyvale…) could be considered helpful. But come on… If someone wants to know how much it costs to hire you, I feel like that is something that should be easily (and enthusiastically?) disclosed.

Despite a experiencing a personal emergency, Dave drove our group from the South Bay to Sausalito on a Thursday evening during rush hour traffic. The limo was pristinely clean and the ride was overall comfy with 8 adults. Rather than Dave canceling due to the unforeseen situation as many Limo drivers may have done (understandably), he instead demonstrated a high level of professionalism and pride in the service he provided which resulted in an overall fun and safe evening. We look forward to calling him for future events.

I used Charmed’s 8 passenger party limo for a trip to the Napa Wine Country and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Dave was timely, helpful, and professional. The limo was clean and supplied with water and champagne and was cleaned up again at every stop. In addition, his pricing was better than most of his competitors. I highly recommend this service.

Dave with Charmed Limousine Service’s was awesome! Arrived early, he was very courteous & professional, limo was very clean, got us to our destinations on time & loved the little extras… like the pretzels, water, champagne, music etc… Definitely would & will recommend him to others! Thank you Dave for making this a very special evening for me & my daughters!

What a great experience! Dave literally rolled out the red carpet for our daughter’s 13^th birthday. He was very professional and timely. The limo was immaculate and the kids loved the sparkling cider in champagne flutes. We all felt special and comfortable. Can’t wait to do it again!

After doing a lot of research, I am glad to have hired Charmed Limo for a round-​trip wine tour from Mountain View to Napa. Dave, the owner, was the quintessential limo chauffeur – professional, courteous, excellent communication skills, and an overall great driver (no spills or drink in face!).
The limo was on-​time, in very good condition, and had plenty of room for four women and all our goody bags. Nice satellite/​CD/​DVD & A/​C systems. Android & Apple phone charges readily available. Water, soda, champagne chilled on ice.
Dave also added other nice touches (listed below) that made our Saturday a very relaxing, carefree experience, even though the wineries were very busy.

Reasonably priced. No hidden fees. Easy to work with. Overall, a wonderful experience. I’d use again and recommend. Thank you, Dave, you made us feel like Rockstars!

Excellent experience! Reasonable prices! Will rent here again. Dave was very accomodative of our car seat needs.

I got Dave as my driver for my senior prom and he was amazing. He accommodated all of my needs and he was so nice. Being high school students, my entire group did not have our money at the moment and he allowed us to pay afterwards, even calling to confirm if he could charge the card at that moment. He also gave us an amazing discount. This limo service and Dave exceeded my expectations. He even went over his time limit to ensure that my friends and I were satisfied. If ever hiring a limo service, this place would be first on my list! I have been in other limos and they were no where near this level.
If you want to make your special occasion even more amazing, then immediately go book with Dave!

Dave and his limo were wonderful. A group of us girlfriends made a trip into the City as part of a birthday celebration, and can you believe the birthday girl surprised us by hiring Dave so we could travel in first class style?! Wow, what a treat. She hired the limo for 6 hours, but the time went so quickly. It could not have been more perfect, and we will definitely be using Charmed for our next excursion. Thank you, Dave.

A group of girlfriends and I get together every January and do a wine trip somewhere in the Bay Area/​Northern California. I found Dave through Unilocal and called him; he immediately answered the phone, gave me a great quote, and we proceeded from there.
He is the best limo driver we have had in the 5 years we have been doing our Wine Weekend tradition. Dave was extremely thorough, professional, and helpful in getting our itinerary together and working out any foreseeable issues. Can’t say enough great things! Would recommend to anyone needing a limo driver in the Bay Area! :)

I used this service for my friends birthday and it was a BLAST! Dave was very professional and courteous. He showed up 15 min early and accommodated to all of our stops. I also did some price comparisons with other limo services and I found Charmed to be very reasonable.
The limo was very clean and spacious. We got the limo for three hours and we drove from San Jose to San Mateo on the 101, across the bridge and back to San Jose from the 880. I would DEF use this limo service again for another occasion!

Working with Charmed Limousine was a great experience. We would definitely use Dave again!
Our e-​mail was promptly returned with questions to help determine what our exact needs were. His pricing was thorough and VERY competitive. He helped us plan our trip to be sure we could get everything we wanted to do with the amount of time we had.
The ride was smooth and the limo was clean. Honestly, my favorite part of the trip was that the soda selection was varied and not just your standard cola, lemon lime, and diet! There was plenty of water and ice. All of our beverages were well chilled right as we got into the limo.
Dave is super friendly and made sure we enjoyed our time. Now, if only I could afford to hire him all of the time…

Dave does everything that should be expected of someone who provides limousine service. He should be the standard, not the exception. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone looking to charter a limo service.

Such a great experience renting the limo from here! My friends bachelorette party couldn’t have gone better and we owe most of that to the great service by Charmed limo! The customer service is great! Our driver was amazing! The whole experience was just great!

For my sister’s birthday, her boyfriend chartered a limousine to take us and 5 other guests to Napa Valley for wine tasting. This was my first time in a limousine and it was so great!
We were running a few minutes late but Dave, our chauffeur, was totally patient and told us not to worry. Once we got into the limo, he explained all the amenities that came with it (please bear with me, this was my first time in a limo so I’m not entirely sure of what does come with a limo besides what I see on t. v) and when we requested he make a u-​turn so we could pick up some orange juice he did so with no hesitation whatsoever. When we got to Napa, he was more than happy to take our pictures.
After our first winery stop, when we returned the limo, all the cups and wine glasses we used were cleaned and re-​stocked.
We spent a little more time than expected at the first winery stop that we kind of was in a rush for the second winery stop. However, Dave was very patient and kindly informed us that we needed to head back on the road. It was our fault that we made Dave run a little late so that was understandable.
Overall, we had a great time! There were a lot of toasts to Dave and the birthday trip was a success. I’m a huge stickler for customer service and saw that there was one review that said Dave was rude and condescending. I’m not sure if this is a legitimate reviewer commenting on the service (nowadays Unilocal has changed their standards which I find goes directly against what they’re offering but that’s neither here nor there), but I don’t see how Dave could be rude or condescending at all. He’s very personable, patient, friendly, and for driving people around all day, he has such enthusiasm and charisma for what he’s doing. I would definitely recommend Charmed Limousine Service if you ever need one in the area!
I also forgot to mention that there is a charger for almost all phones, which was totally helpful because we were using up our battery throughout the day for pictures. I thought that was really convenient and helpful!

I used the Charmed Limousine Service for a bachelorette trip to Sonoma, and I am very happy with the service I received. Here is why:
Reservation process:
— Responsive: Dave is reachable via phone and email, with very quick turn around time.
— Very organized: he kept track of my inquiry and quote from the first time I called, even though I didn’t even give him my name the first time. I was very impressed with the level of personal service I received in the process of booking the trip.
— He offers VIP service at the best price in the area (I contacted a few top rated limousine services from Unilocal before deciding to go with Dave).
The limo service:
— The limo was in great shape, very clean, with wifi, good sound system, champagne and clean glasses, and napkins.
— The used glasses were replaced with clean ones every time we left the limo.
— Dave was very professional, on time, knew the area and routes very well, and give us a VIP service.
I recommend the Charmed Limousine Service and I would certainly use their service again.

I didn’t have the pleasure of using Charmed Limo Service, but I am giving stars for their impeccable service.
I called to ask about availability for my wedding. It’s two weeks out and I already had the expectation that I wouldn’t find a limo easily. The gentleman who answered the call was very cordial and polite in telling me his availability. Although he didn’t have an open time slot, he very kindly recommended some other limo services that I could try.
Hopefully I’ll get an opportunity to actually use Charmed for another occasion.
Thank you!

This is an overdue review for Charmed Limo and the March 2014 service they provided. Initially I was looking at limo companies in San Francisco (where we were staying) and in Napa (where we were going). Although I had pretty much decided on one from Napa, on a whim I checked Unilocal and saw the reviews for Charmed and gave Dave a call. He was patient and professional and I was surprised to get his quote which was significantly lower than any of those I’d already talked with. He didn’t have the add-​ons that nearly all of the others were requiring i.e.- travel time payment, gas surcharge, etc. Based on the Unilocal reviews I figured that less expensive didn’t necessarily mean less service and booked with Charmed Limo.
About 15 minutes before our agreed upon pick-​up Dave phoned to say he was there and ready whenever we were. When we went down he was standing in the rain with an umbrella to shield us on the quick jump from doorway to car door. His courtesy and professional service continued throughout the day as he kept us on time for each of our wine tasting appointments. The car was stocked with champagne, water and soda for our use. Each time we returned to the car, there were fresh glasses and whatever bottles we had discarded had been removed. It was obvious that Dave took pride in his vehicle and the service he provided.
Had a great day and got more than we expected in terms of value for our dollar. If we’re ever back in northern California, I will certainly use Dave and Charmed Limo again.

I would give zero star if I can. I spoke with Dave and he is extremely rude. he isn’t helpful at all.

Additional Comment –updated on 08/​09/​2014
I’m a real potential customer and wanted to know how I can get the best service from Charmed Limo. I was really shock after I spoke to the owner. (I didn’t know Dave was the owner until I received his reply for my review).
Whether the other Unilocal reviewers are real or not, any potential customer will know what type of personality the owner has by just simply reading his very unprofessional reply for my 1 star review.

I can’t recommend Dave and Charmed Limousine enough. Working with him to coordinate the car service was incredibly easy. I called a number of 5-​star rated services (from Unilocal,of course), but Dave was the most personable, knowledgeable and offered a very competitive rate.
We chose Charmed to attend a concert up at the Mountain Winery this week. You never know when a concert will be done or when you’ll be able to make it down the mountain. Dave quoted the 5 hours and also offered to not charge an additional fee if it ran over.
When comparing services, I actually looked up licensing on the DMV website… and of the top 3 that I chose — Charmed actually had insurance coverage information listed & readily available. When someone is driving me — I’m for responsibility. He even made sure to notify us that all arms/​legs needed to stay inside the car so as to abide by the law. All of the upfront info he provided was much appreciated.
Not only was Dave punctual when arriving, but provided a solid tutorial. The stretch limo was stocked with the usual water, soft drinks, champagne, ice & ample (champagne & cocktail) glasses. He explained on the phone that we could play our own playlists. Sure enough — he had the equipment so I could play from my iphone5; Hooray for the headphone jack. The car itself was impeccably clean & nice.
Dave was way cool & exactly the type of professional driver you want. I 100% suggest you give him a call the next time you’re in need.
