Hiring a chauffeur is common for special occasions, business deals, and airport transportation. Safety, professionalism, and vehicle suitability are important factors to consider. Costs vary based on time, distance, and vehicle size. Limousines are suitable for weddings, proms, sightseeing, concerts, graduations, conventions, and funerals. Book in advance and choose the best service.
You may choose to hire a chauffeur for a variety of reasons. During special occasions, such as weddings and prom, couples often hire one to drive them to their various destinations. An important business deal or special anniversary dinner can also entice a person to hire one. Companies often arrange for a private chauffeur to drive out-of-town travelers to and from the airport, to their hotel, and even to dinner. Less often, a chauffeur may be hired on a permanent or semi-permanent basis to work exclusively for a company, organization or individual.
When choosing a chauffeur, the most important consideration is safety. While the driver should show up on time, deliver us promptly to our destination, and show us a pleasant drive along the way, always make sure he is a conscientious and careful driver. Many limousine services require that every driver be professionally trained and that each have a spotless driving record. Also, the chauffeur, as well as the owner of the limousine service, should cheerfully provide information on vehicle maintenance at the request of the customer.
Professional demeanor and dress are another reasonable expectation when choosing a driver. Rarely is a limousine rented for one-time or day-to-day events; rather, they should lead and serve on special occasions, and should look and act accordingly. The limousine should be clean and tidy; There should be no evidence that other passengers have been in the vehicle other than normal wear and tear.
The limousine service you choose will provide a vehicle according to the occasion and the number of passengers that will be traveling in the limousine. A chauffeur can usually be expected to drive anything from a midsize sedan to a stretch limousine or even a super stretch limousine. Large groups can find assistance in the larger 14 and 15 passenger vans or the ever popular super stretch SUV. When arranging a chauffeur, clients should always consider not only the number of people who will be boarding the vehicle, but also the amount of luggage or other items they will be carrying.
The cost of hiring a chauffeur depends on a number of factors. There is often a minimum amount of time that a limousine will be rented, such as three to four hours. Sometimes exceptions will be made, but usually only in the case of airport transportation. The size of the limousine is also a factor in determining the cost, as is the distance to travel. Usually, customers can expect to pay at least a few hundred US dollars (USD) for an evening of limousine service. It is always considered proper to tip a driver, as you would any other service person.
When choosing a chauffeur, consider any events where a limousine might come in handy: the aforementioned weddings, prom, and airport transportation, as well as sightseeing, concerts, graduations, conventions, and funerals. Remember to book the limousine as soon as possible and accept only the best.
