Agency vs Independent Whether you decide on an agency or independent escort, keep in mind the following basic rule: you get what you paid for so if anything sounds too good to be true it probably is! Contrary to a popular belief that you can save big bucks on an agency fee by working with independent escorts, you may in fact end up paying more…for less! There are two categories of independent escorts: those who choose to work independently and those who have been rejected by agencies, either because of their looks and personality, or their failure to pass certain level of security screening. While escorts from the second category may claim to charge significantly less than "the industry standard" in your city, watch out for major rip-offs: chances are you won't be pleased with her looks, attitude or performance and may end up spending a ridiculous amount on a kiss on the cheek. Escorts in the first category can be very attractive, professional and discreet. However, you should expect to pay the same or higher amount of money that you would spend with an agency, because by avoiding agency fees, independent escorts take responsibility for their own advertising, screening and security costs. Also, keep in mind that it is relatively easy for an independent escort to "change identity" by advertising themselves as someone completely different every few weeks to escape any negative comments about their professional reputation. Unless you are contacting someone strongly recommended to you by a trusted source, you are better off working with an agency (carefully selected, of course, using the guidelines above!) for the following reasons: a) once you find an agency, you have a reliable source of entertainment for months and years to come whereas with an independent you are investing time, money and effort into building a relationship with an individual entertainer; b) Let's say you decided to work with an independent anyway. You check out their ad, talk on the phone, arrange for a meeting and realize as soon as they arrive that the pictures you've been so impressed with date back about 5 years! What's next? You are a nice person and telling someone to their face that they aren't exactly what you thought they would be is not that easy so you may end up paying for something you wouldn't even want for free. By working with a reputable agency that offers satisfaction guarantee, you ensure the best possible experience. If for some reason you are not completely thrilled with an escort, all you have to do is call the agency and they'll send a replacement or provide a refund.   Why make reservations? For the same reason you would call a popular restaurant well in advance if you are planning to dine out: a reservation often makes a difference between being seated in the VIP section or somewhere next to the kitchen. Making a reservation with an escort service agency will ensure that your date arrives right on time and is the exact same person you wanted to see and not a last-minute replacement that shows up an hour late! Keep in mind that top escorts are always spoken for well in advance so if you have your heart set on a specific gal or guy, call or e-mail in advance. Of course, there are some rare exceptions to the rule: if you are a regular client, the agency will go that extra mile for you but then again there is only so much they can do on a busy night How long time would it take for an escort to arrive to me without reservations? As we mentioned earlier, reservations are strongly recommended but all agencies do their best to arrange dates on even a short notice. The time it would take for an escort to arrive to your hotel or residence without a previously made reservation depends on a number of factors, such as your exact geographical location, day of the week, time of the day (or night). At Hot Date Escorts, we do our best to give you an accurate time estimate. As a rule, it takes us 30 minutes to an hour to deliver the escort to you. Watch out for agencies that make unrealistic promises: it takes 30 minutes to an hour for a pizza delivery so you probably shouldn't expect an escort to arrive any sooner than that! What if I do not like an escort? We offer satisfaction guarantee: if you are not completely thrilled with your escort when they arrive, you have the right to refuse the date. All you have to do is call us right away and we will promptly provide a replacement - you choice. (Please note that transportation fee would be charged ). What if I do not like something during the date? The best part about dealing with an agency vs. an independent escort is that you always have someone to interfere on your behalf if there is any kind of misunderstanding. If you have any questions or concerns at any time during your date, we encourage you to call us immediately and we will make every effort to address your concerns and resolve any issues immediately. The price that you pay us is for an all-inclusive, full-service session. Escorts are not allowed to charge anything extra or ask for a tip.
