Once filling the streets of cities around the world, taxi cabs are now going the way of the dinosaur, phone books and landline telephones. Horror stories abound of dirty interiors, smelly drivers, questionable routes to your destination and countless other stories of incompetence and overcharging.
You may want to consider using an executive car service for your transportation needs. Here are a few of the benefits.
On-Time
How many times have you missed an appointment, a reservation at a popular restaurant or the curtain on a show you waited weeks or months to get tickets to because your taxi didn’t arrive in a timely manner. There’s a better way to make use of private public transportation: it’s called an executive car service.
The way it works is you call the service and ask for a car at a certain time. The company will ask for your pick up and destination addresses, whether or not you would like a return trip, and the approximate or exact time you want to return.
The car usually arrives a few minutes early and you’re on your way to your meeting or social outing.
Cleanliness
How many times have you been in a taxi cab that was ripe with bad odors? As you desperately tried to not breathe through your nose, you probably wondered if it was the car that smelled or the driver. Or both. There was probably a collection of trash on the floor of the back seat, along with a few cigarette butts.
You will never experience anything remotely like this in an executive car service. The vehicle will be meticulously clean. As for the driver, it will be obvious that he or she practices equally meticulous personal hygiene.
You can settle back into the clean seats and not worry about where to put your feet to avoid the trash on the floor, because there is none. You’ll most likely notice a pleasant, yet not-too-strong air freshener that is not covering up unpleasant odors.
But the best part is that you don’t have to sanitize your credit card when you pay at the end of the ride. Or overpay for the ride because you don’t want any change back from a taxi driver who obviously has questionable personal hygiene practices.
Privacy
A taxi cab company has no motivation to keep your patronage confidential. In fact, drivers may drop your name if you are in any way publicly known. An executive car service values your privacy. They will never disclose your patronage to another customer or the press.
When riding in a taxi cab, you are visible to the public because taxis must have transparent windows. Car or limo services are allowed to tint the back windows to safeguard the privacy of their clients. So if you are a public figure, you will be able to maintain anonymity whether you’re stuck in traffic, or just driving to your destination.
Engage for Specific Time, Day or Range of Days
Taxi cabs are one-trip ponies. They pick you up, drop you off, and go on their way. If you need a return trip, you must call the company or driver and wait for them to come and pick you up. Almost all taxi companies only schedule rides at a specific time if you are going to the airport or catching a long-distance train.
With an executive car service, you can set the exact time that they will arrive to pick you up and the exact time you want to return. If you don’t know the exact time of your return, they will gladly ask for a time period. They will be there at the earliest time of that period and wait for you.
You can also reserve a private car or limo for an entire day or series of days. That way you don’t have to worry about your ground transportation when traveling or moving around your home city when you don’t want to drive yourself.
Executive car services provide their customers on-time service in a clean vehicle. They safeguard the privacy of their clients through the use of tinted windows and discretion. You can also arrange to have the car dedicated to your transportation needs for a day or a few days.
Our drivers will never drop your name to another client or even disclose to a doorman or valet that you are the passenger they are waiting for. If your name is known to the public, you are able to maintain privacy and freedom of movement using our executive car service.
