How A Car Company Saved My Job

I used to work in an investment firm that had offices all over the USA. I had to travel between LA and Washington multiple times in a month to manage the clients. The pressure was immense, and I could not slack. It was nothing as compared to the 9 to 5 job as I was traveling on the weekends to meet with potential clients and had to report back on Monday. 

All this traveling left me no room to have a personal life. My secretary used to manage all the air tickets and book the car companies to take me from and to the hotel. All went sideways during last November when my secretary had to take a 2-week vacation to attend her brother's wedding in Greece. At that time, I realized how tough it is to manage the schedule of a senior manager. 

I had to take a trip to New York and as Christmas was on the cards, all the car companies were booked. I was on a tight schedule and had to book the flight and Airport Black Car Service in Harrison NY all by myself. I left Los Angeles on the busy Friday night to meet the client in New York. To my bad luck, the client had to postpone the meeting until Sunday evening and I was left with no work on Saturday. 

I had to reschedule the flight and had to call the car company to change the pickup time. Due to the busy schedule, the car company refused to change the time and offered me a refund. I tried to convince them as I had some hours to catch the flight and had no other way of going to the airport. They were belligerent in their dealing and I thought I should focus on finding another company rather than fighting the one who had already refused my request. 

I started looking for a Black Car Transportation in Harrison NY and came up with several options. I called all of them and only one agreed to send the driver to pick me up. Although the car arrived 15 minutes late, the driver made sure that I reached the airport. There was no other flight for 18 hours and I would have missed the meeting on Monday. Thanks to the car company, I reached safely to the airport and attended meeting the very next day.
