They will be moving to Lakeside, cel: 044-331-112-5745 we wish them luck. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mainecoons 5,347 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 They will quickly find out the price of gasoline here plus the interminable delays in and around GDL and the car wrecking bad roads of Jalisco will make doing this cheaply not very profitable.

Trudeaue 5 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I recently rode with Rene to the airport. He mentioned to me that he has had to slightly increase his prices due to various factors. My flight was in the middle of the day and he charged me 380 pesos. He mentioned that night time/early morning rates are different. He was very nice and helped me with my luggage, a true gentleman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
REC 357 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I wish them well. Options are always good. I'm sure they will figure out where their pricing needs to be in order to be competitive but also to be profitable. All businesses have to figure out this balance.

I admire anyone who takes on this type of a challenge and hope that they are successful. Stella and Rene - welcome to the community and best of luck. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
