When you need to obtain transportation for travel, and you don't want to be the one behind the wheel, you can hire a ride-share driver or you can hire a private driver via a limousine or car service company. There are some benefits that come with hiring a private driver instead of setting up a ride on a ride-sharing app.

Benefit #1: Convenience

When you hire a ride-sharing driver, you have to put the information into the app and hope that someone is nearby who can pick you up. When you hire a private driver, the limo company will schedule a specific driver to be there to pick you up and get you to where you need to be. You don't have to worry about being late because there is not a driver in your area or stress about why the ride-share driver that was on the way suddenly declined your job. When you hire a private driver for the weekend, they will always be there when you need them and will get you to all your events on time.

Benefit #2: Comfort

When you hire a driver via a ride-share app, you may be able to request a larger vehicle if you have a big group, but you don't really have any control over what pulls up to take you to your destination. You may be riding in an economy car or a really nice luxury vehicle; the truth is you really don't know.

When you hire a limousine and car service company, you are often able to choose the vehicle you will be transported in. All the vehicles that are offered will be luxury-level vehicles; you don't have to worry about being transported around in an old, beat-up car; you will be traveling around in a classy ride your entire trip.

Benefit #3: Safety

When you use a ride-sharing app, you are depending upon the owner of the vehicle to take good care of the vehicle. You don't know if that vehicle has ever been in an accident or if the owner gets the oil changed on time.

When you hire a private driver via a limousine company, higher safety standards are in place. All of the drivers will have undergone safety training in order to ensure that you are transported safety. The vehicles themselves are held to a higher standard are well. The limousine company will have its own private mechanic or auto repair shop that it works with. They will be required by state law to keep records of the maintenance and care of their vehicles. Private transportation companies are held to higher safety standards than ride-share app vehicles.

When it comes to choosing how to get around when you are on vacation or out-of-town on business, going with a private transportation company will provide you with convenience, comfort, and safety that you can't get when you use a ride-sharing app. For more information, contact local professionals like those found at Crown Royal Limo.
