Car Service Vs. Rental Cars
How many times a year do you have to travel for your job? When you do travel, you tend to spend more than just a day or two in a city you aren’t familiar with. Now think about the amount of time you’ll spend in a car going back and forth from your hotel to business meetings, conferences, or dinner. While you may think it would be prudent to just rent a car to drive yourself, if you’re in a city you’ve never been in, this could prove difficult.
When you have a business trip or other type of corporate travel event coming up, you should consider using a car service over renting a car. We’re going to hopefully convince you why a car service is always the smart choice in corporate transportation.
You’ll Never Get Lost
This is probably one of the most important reasons why you should choose a car service over renting a car. When you end up in a city that you’ve never been to before, you may find yourself spending precious time figuring out where you are supposed to be. With a rental car, you will have to drive yourself, worry about getting lost, and even possibly being late to an important client meeting.
This can all be avoided by using a car service. When you use a car service that is native to the area, the chauffeurs are well aware of the best routes to take. You’ll never have to worry about getting lost or being late when you let someone drive you everywhere you need to go.
Less Responsibility
When you rent a car, they give you options of extra mileage and even rental insurance. If something were to happen to the car you’re driving and you chose to forgo the insurance, you could be out of pocket a pretty hefty chunk of change. Additionally, if you underestimate the amount of driving you will actually be doing, the extra fees for mileage overage will add up pretty quickly. Any maintenance issues that happen while you’re on the road will also end up being your responsibility.
Again, this is something that can be completely avoided by letting someone else do the driving for you. The fleet offered up by a car service is always covered by the transportation company’s insurance so you never have to worry. In the event that anything were to happen while you were being driven, they could quickly and easily send a replacement car and driver so you would still be able to make your engagements on time.
Entertainment Perks
If you’re planning on driving yourself you may end up being stuck in the hotel restaurant for lunch and dinner every night because you just don’t know where anything good is located. In the instance that you do decide to leave the hotel in search of entertainment options, they may be limited to a two mile radius so you don’t worry about getting lost. Just because this is a business trip doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself!
When you take advantage of a car service, the chauffeurs are very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. Not only can they take you there and drop you off at the hotel safely, they can also offer up suggestions that the locals love but don’t tend to advertise to tourists. Using their expertise of the city you’re in for work, you may just end up having a good time after all!
These are just a few of the fantastic reasons why a car service is always a better option over renting a car. Not only will you arrive on time, worry not about extra fees and maintenance issues, and possibly even have fun, you’ll also save yourself the hassle of picking up and dropping off a rental car at the airport.
