Gas prices went up. Your rate didn't.

If you travel regularly for work, you already know the feeling. You open the app to book a ride to the airport, and the fee is different from last time. Not by a little — by enough that you take notice. Surge pricing, fuel surcharges, airport fees that seem to multiply depending on the day and the hour. You book it anyway because you have a flight to catch, but the unpredictability adds one more thing to manage before you've even left your house.

That has resulted in a high level of frustration we hear voiced by almost every client who comes to us after years of using rideshare apps or booking through platforms where the price is a moving target.

We want to be straightforward with you about something ---

Gas prices in Connecticut and the surrounding region have been widely fluctuating for months. We are aware of it. We feel it too. But at Athletic Limo have NOT raised our rates even one cent, and we are not planning to while things remain so unsettled. When costs stabilize, we will reassess — and if anything changes, you will hear it from us directly, not discover it at checkout.

Here is why that matters to us ---

The clients we serve — business travelers who fly almost every week, seniors who need to know exactly what to expect — already have enough to manage in their lives. A surprise on the invoice is not something we are willing to add to the list. When you call Athletic Limo , you get a real person on the phone. We talk through your trip, confirm your pickup details, and give you a clear fee before we ever send a driver. We're proud to say, that number does not change between the phone call and the ride.

What you pay is what we agreed to on the call. That is the only way we know how to do this. The same consistency you get on price is the same consistency you receive on everything else. The driver information arrives in your inbox the evening before your trip. We are monitoring your flight before you've thought to check it. We know what I-95 looks like on a Tuesday morning and what the Van Wyck is doing before your car ever pulls out of the driveway. None of that changes based on what fuel costs this week.

We built this business on the idea that the ride should be the easy part of travel — not another variable to stress over. Holding our prices steady right now is part of that same commitment.

If you have an upcoming trip and you'd like to lock in your reservation, give us a call. We will talk through the details, answer your questions, and make sure everything is handled before you need to think about it. Call 203-816-6900 or email us at info@athleticlimo.com We will be here when you're ready.
