What would be a good incentive to get hotels to call me?

Question

I own a Taxi service, and I have 3 competitors. What would be a good incentive to get hotel staff to call my cab company to get their guests to the airport? What if I offer to kick back $5.00 to the manager every time we load a customer from there hotel to the airport? The average ride to the airport from any hotel costs $35-40. Also is this considered a bribe and is it ok to do?

Answer 1

I would say that that is as close to a bribe or 'kickback' as one can get, and although it may not be illegal for you to do, it most certainly would be illegal for the managers or staff of a hotel !

How about something really simple - - simply print something out on your computer, go see the hotel staff, and let them know that for their guests, you will reduce their total trip charge by $5.00 ??

Being the best priced service is often the best way to build business
