A Guide to the Major Benefits of Hiring a Private Car Service

Ridesharing services have been a game changer for the taxi and car service industry. If you need a quick ride on a moment’s notice, they usually make it very easy. 

Recently, these services experienced major difficulties in passenger safety, driver professionalism, and complying with regulations. Just recently, many local and state governments have begun to limit the number of for-hire vehicles allowed to operate. Often, this causes delays and long wait times for your ride to arrive.

When considering transportation for a special event, a night on the town, business travel or a trip to or from the airport, you may debate between a rideshare or a private car service. Since rideshares are so easy to hire, many people wonder if there are any advantages of a private car service. 

When you consider dependability and service, there really is no debate. Do you suddenly need a ride? Rideshares are great. But when you have a firm deadline or do not want any travel setbacks or surprises, hiring a private car service is the most reliable option. Let’s explore a few reasons why.

A Ride You Can Rely On

When you plan to take a taxi or a rideshare, you are hoping a car will be available at that exact moment you call them. While you may reserve ahead of time, you are anticipating that it will not be a busy time. Or that drivers will be willing to drive to your destination – which is not always a sure thing when it is far away or in a remote location. Reserve a private car service to guarantee that a driver will pick you up on time and take you to your destination – regardless of the distance.

When you need transportation to the airport, the car must be available when you need it. The plane will not wait for you. You need to get to the airport on time! A private car service reserves a car for your trip with a dependable chauffeur that knows the local traffic and congestion. A private car will make adjustments based on local travel conditions.

Reliability is just as important for your trip home from the airport. After a flight, the last thing you want to do is wonder how you are getting home. When a car service is waiting for you, you will be on your way home as soon as you are ready. You don’t need to worry if your flight is delayed or arriving early. We track your flight and make sure our chauffeurs are ready when you land.

Know What You Will Pay

When you go to reserve a ride with rideshare, you may be surprised that the cost of the ride has changed from earlier. Rideshare rates will change based on the demand for rides and the supply of drivers. During peak hours, you’ll pay more.

It also can be frustrating if you get a driver who is unfamiliar with the area, the local traffic patterns or has poor driving habits. You may end up in a longer ride than needed.

This is not a problem with a professional car service. When you schedule your car, you’ll get a price quote, so you know exactly how much you’ll pay. Your price will already consider heavy traffic times or known traffic detours in the area. Obviously, any excessive wait time or unknown delays may affect your price. With a professional car service, you’re paying for a trusted, professional chauffeur who knows the area. Unexpected delays will be minimal, and we always plan for at least two alternate routes.

When you reserve a car service, your pickup is scheduled. You are not searching and waiting for a car during rush hour or busy travel times. Your car will be waiting for you when you’re ready. When you provide your flight time, we will recommend the best time to pick you up, so you are at the airport on time.

It’s often thought that a private car service will be more expensive than taking a ride-share. Yet our competitive prices may surprise you. The true cost comparison really shines when considering we offer a more dependable, safe, and quality service.

Professional Driving Experience

Rideshare drivers are contract workers. They do not need to meet the strict vehicle requirements and thorough background checks in order to be a rideshare driver. This certainly doesn’t qualify them as a professional chauffeur, as they normally have a primary job. Driving is their side gig.

With a professional car service, you can rest assured that you will get an experienced, professional full-time chauffeur. A chauffeur must meet Pennsylvania’s regulations and requires the following: Driver road test, eight hour driving habits evaluation, FBI fingerprint check, sex offender check through the national and state sex offender databases, driver license review, and criminal history background check. All of our chauffeurs are our employees and drive company-owned vehicles.

Personal, professional service is what sets us apart from ride-shares

Taxis and rideshares focus on completing as many rides as fast as they can. We are focused on repeat business and referrals. This means that we have to provide the best service to ensure a positive experience.

Ride-share companies are multinational, far removed from their drivers and cannot monitor the professional conduct of all their drivers. While most are friendly and efficient, some simply are in it for the money and want to get your ride over as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next trip.

With a professional car service company, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We know our chauffeurs, meet with them face-to-face on a daily or weekly basis, and take measures to ensure our chauffeurs take pride in their jobs. We constantly receive compliments about how friendly and professional our chauffeurs are. At Lusso Executive Transportation Service, we are focused on dependability and ensure that we will be on time, every time

A Car Service Lets You Travel in Comfort & Style

Rideshare and Taxis are utilitarian services. Their motivation is to get you where you need to go quickly and efficiently. Their service is driven by being the lowest cost, so the experience is typically cheap.

When you need transportation services for an important corporate event, or to start your much-needed night out, it’s nice to travel in style and luxury. You never know the quality of car that a ride-share company will send you. We always show you what car will pick you up ahead of time.

So, you can be sure you’re getting style and comfort. After a long flight or when entertaining clients from out of town, know you will have a clean and luxurious vehicle waiting for you.

A Professional Travel Experience

When you hire a professional car service, you get more than just a ride from point to point. We set the stage for a professional experience.

This is especially important if you’re arranging client travel or just want a night on the town with friends. Our vehicles have luxurious interiors that allow you to relax and enjoy your conversation.

A transportation company will accommodate your needs to ensure your event is perfect. Refreshments, a preferred pickup spot, and a scenic drive around the city – all these things are possible with a professional car service.

Plus, your chauffeur will already know your travel plans, so you won’t be bothered with questions or random small talk. Let us do the driving while you and your party sit back and enjoy the ride.
