Can't amend your booking AT ALL

Have used Elifelimo transfers before in the past without any major issue - this time though, ridiculous. Our booking is over 12 weeks away - our hotel has been changed to the hotel NEXT door. We have tried to amend the booking, and we've been told we're unable to do so and instead we need to cancel and re-book (for an additional £12.)

We'll cancel - but will not rebook and will book with a different supplier.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Dear guest,
sorry to hear you had unhappy experience on this transfer .

According to our policy, most bookings can be modified more than 24 hours in advance, and some services allow changes up to 48 hours beforehand.If your pickup is still several weeks away, modifications should generally be possible.And if you newhotel location is next door from your origanl hotel ,is also coould be changed .

To help us look into this promptly, could you please share your booking reference number and let us know who informed you that changes weren’t allowed—or whether the issue was due to a system restriction? We will investigate this right away and work to resolve it for you.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Driver showed up on time

Driver showed up on time. I would have rated 5-star if only the driver had given me a confirmation call before showing up at the pick up point. I only received a generic text message and an email.

Taxi Singapur

The taxi wasn't at the agreed-upon location at the agreed-upon time. The taxi's size was not comfortable, and the passenger in the backseat was sitting next to the open bench seat.

Dear client

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We have conducted a thorough review of your ride details and would like to provide you with the following summary:

Our driver arrived at Terminal 3, your arrival location, at 00:19. Your flight landed at 00:42, and with the allocated 30-minute buffer time, the scheduled pickup time was 01:18. This means the driver arrived nearly one hour in advance to ensure a smooth pickup.

During the waiting period, our driver and customer service team attempted to contact you several times but did not receive a response. We understand that it is sometimes challenging to locate each other in busy airport areas, and this may have contributed to the delay in connecting.

Regarding the vehicle type, your booking was for a sedan, which accommodates 3 passengers and 3 pieces of luggage. The dispatched vehicle was a Honda Jazz, a 5-seater car that fully meets the sedan category and the requirements of your order.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding regarding the situation. Should you have any further questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your understanding.

Left us stranded at JFK airport. Beware.

Booked a transfer with this company through Expedia to get us from JFK NEW YORK to our hotel Hilton New York Fashion District. NEVER AGAIN! Got some strange messages from the driver before our flight left about our pick up time. Said he was going to pick us up at 19.30 but I queried that as that was when our flight was due in. Obviously there would be security and baggage pick up. After an 8 hour flight and 1.5 hours stood waiting to get through passport control, we got our bags and headed out feeling bewildered into the freezing cold. We got to the pick up point at 21.10…it was out of our control and we were abandoned and let down severely by this company. Phoned their helpline but were told it was at the drivers discretion and they couldn’t get hold of him anymore and weren’t able to help but to contact Expedia. Not easy when it’s 1.10am in the uk. Left us with no option to pay for a yellow cab at $85. Ruined the start of our break to NYC. Complained to Expedia and they contacted Elife who refused any refund. How can they con people like this and leave them stranded? Never again.
UPDATED Read their reply below and pretty disgusted tbh. One of the busiest airports in the world jfk security is never quick as they should know through experience and to be starting the clock as soon as the plane lands on the tarmac is ridiculous! Who can embark a plain while its taxiing to get their transfer straight away? Were we expected to parachute whilst it landed. Are they serious? Would you not check with the airport the wait times for security? You pick up from a hotel and I get it we should be there but you pick up from jfk and start the wait time earlier than the plane is scheduled to arrive because that’s when the plane landed? Are you serious? Have you ever been through jfk airport? Clearly not. Unprofessional and no common sense. NEVER AGAIN. Be warned everybody! This company has no idea! Insulting. If I could give them a zero rating I would. We are well travelled and I’ve never known a company start your pick up time from the time the plane hits the tarmac. It’s clearly flawed and defies common sense and professionalism. I feel sorry for any elderly people who book this company, we moved as quickly as we could and still couldn’t achieve their unrealistic timings! Pathetic response. I wonder how often they use this ridiculous and unfair policy to cancel transfers from JFK. In the six times we’ve arrived at JFK it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to get this but they keep your money anyway? 🤔At no point did they tell us about the wait timings until they’d left us stranded. They still haven’t addressed the strange messages prior to departure. Disgusted.

Dear Guest,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your recent transfer service.

After reviewing your booking details, we noted that your flight arrived at 7:26 PM. Including the 30-minute buffer time and the 60-minute waiting period, the scheduled waiting window ended at 8:56 PM. Unfortunately, as you were unable to arrive within this timeframe and the driver had another scheduled assignment to attend to, he was unable to continue waiting.

We truly regret any frustration this may have caused .
