Navigating NYC: Why you should hire a Professional Car Service

professional car service

With a population of around 8.5 million, there are more people in NYC than in the second and third most populous cities combined. Venture out on the streets, and it can seem as if every one of them competes with you for road space. A professional car service provides a safe, comfortable, stress-free journey at a reasonable price. Those are words that are not always associated with traveling in New York City.

Comfort and luxury are part of the experience.

The city looks very different when you view it from the back of a chauffeur-driven luxury car than when you are behind the wheel or in a cab dodging from lane to lane. Sit back, enjoy the comfort, decompress, or prepare for that all-important meeting.

They say that when you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. The journey to a business meeting is a crucial time for a last read through your notes or to make final decisions on strategy with colleagues, either in person if you travel together or on the phone. Trying to do any of these things in a taxi or subway train is practically impossible, but a luxury car is like your rolling office.

Get there on time, no stress

Trying to time a journey in NYC so that you arrive on time can be a nightmare. Drive yourself, and the traffic seems to conspire against you, and parking spots suddenly disappear. Taxis are everywhere, but when you need one in a hurry, none are for hire. As for the subway, it’s doable as long as there are no delays, in which case platforms fill with passengers, and you arrive late and look stressed.

 

A professional car service will be there right on time outside your home or office and do everything to get you to your destination promptly. Our drivers keep their ears to the ground about the latest NYC congestion. They are experts at avoiding traffic delays and finding alternative routes when necessary.

Not as expensive as you think

Sure, a luxury limo service is a premium form of travel. But when you compare it with other transportation options in NYC, it’s not as expensive as you might think. And doesn’t it make sense for every serious business to budget reliable transportation?  Taxis run on a meter, and it can add to the stress, watching it creep higher as the car moves nowhere. Also, much as the city’s taxi drivers try to keep their vehicles presentable, a NYC yellow cab is not the most comfortable place to spend too much time.

 

When you hire a professional car service from Delux Transportation, the price is firm, and it is all taken care of upfront. Even in the rare event that NYC’s legendary traffic manages to trap one of our drivers, you know it will not cost you any extra money. And at least you are in safe, clean, and comfortable surroundings. Speak to us about opening a corporate account to make managing your business’s NYC travel costs even easier.

Setting the right tone

People often say that appearances don’t matter, and while that sounds great in theory, it just isn’t true in reality. If it was, “smart casual” would be everyday office wear, and we would not dress more formally for an interview or a meeting with senior management.

The same applies to how you arrive at the meeting. A smart car with a professional driver demonstrates to business associates that you are serious. It also ensures you feel fresh and ready for whatever awaits you at your destination.

Whether you are traveling into Midtown Manhattan for a business meeting or entertaining a client on Broadway for a show, or maybe even out to Long Island for a weekend getaway, using a professional car service gets you off on the right foot.

Safety first, every time

Did you know there are more than 600 car accidents daily in NYC? That’s roughly one every two minutes, every day of the year. Even if you’re familiar with the city’s roads, it is only a matter of time before you get involved in a fender bender. As for the city’s famous taxis, most of them carry a battle scar or two.

A professional car service means a professional driver. All our drivers put the safety and well-being of passengers above all else. They understand the principles of defensive driving. Unlike the city’s taxis and Ubers, they are not under pressure to get you to your destination merely to get the next fare on board. All Delux chauffeurs are vetted, licensed, and insured. You will have peace of mind knowing our drivers undergo government-mandated criminal background checks, fingerprinting, and drug testing.
