While organising the transfer from a to b the biggest question that comes to mind is to weather book a taxi service, rideshare or a Chauffeur driven service. Taxi companies have been providing ground transport services from decades and have cemented their place in the market because of no competition. Over the past few years things have changed considerably with rideshare companies coming in to the market and taking over a big part of the industry. While these two just focus primarily and only on transportation the Chauffeur industry is the best solution to finding a reliable and high end mode of transport.
Taxi and rideshare services never guarantee an ontime arrival and depend on the the availability of the cars in the area where service is required. On the other hand Chauffeur driven service is all about on time arrivals. Taxi and rideshare car fleet consists of basic non luxury cars whereas Chauffeur car fleet is a range of ultra modern luxury town cars and high end European cars.
For drivers there is no prior experience required if they wish to drive a cab or rideshare. Chauffeur companies will often have strict policies and procedures to make sure only experienced people are hired and given access to driving their cliental. Customer Service standards in taxi and rideshare are not of the top level where you are gambling to find a good driver but often let down by poor customer standards of the drivers. A Chauffeur on the other hand will always go out of his way to provide the best customer service to the guests.
Taxi and rideshare never guarantee a fixed fare and the same journey always costs different based on time of the day, traffic on the road and public holidays. In Chauffeur industry the fares are always fixed and agreed prior to the journey and easier for businesses and individuals to budget their expenses as they know how much they are going to spend every time. In every city demand and supply is the main factor in the price structure of the taxis, rideshare and hire cars and most Chauffeur companies are not too much more than the taxis or rideshare.
We hope this covers most of the differences between these three services of the same industry. Choose wisely before making a decision on who you wish to travel with for the best experience.
