What to Look for When Hiring a Car Service
There are a number of reasons why you would need to consider using a Bay Area car service. Maybe you have a special date night coming up or you’re planning on celebrating your anniversary. Your wedding day is an event that would definitely benefit from a car service. If you’re going out of town for business or a family vacation, a car service can take a lot of the headache out of the trip. If any of these reasons apply to you, you may be inclined to choose the first car service that comes up in your area on a Google search. However, there are things you should ask and look for when you choose the car service that’s right for you and your event.
Safety and Security
This is so important that we’re mentioning it first. We can’t turn on the news anymore without hearing about how some driver for a taxi service or other type of ride share service has committed a heinous act because they weren’t given the proper background checks. When you’re questioning bay area limo companies or other types of car service providers, you should definitely ask whether all of the drivers have passed a rigorous background check before committing to a contract with them.
While it isn’t as common among car services, another question you may want to consider asking is whether or not the driver or chauffeur is first aid or CPR certified. We never expect anything bad to happen while we’re out enjoying ourselves on a first date or a family vacation, but in the event something does go wrong, it would be nice to know that the driver would be equipped to handle minor emergencies.
Pricing and Packages
When you’re planning your wedding, you may not feel as though the transportation for the day is as important as, say, the dress or venue. However, if you skimp on this aspect of your big day, you may find yourself arriving to the church late or in a wrinkled or stained dress because the car you do arrive in is too small or dirty. This alone should be reason enough to consider a limo service for your wedding. Once you’ve made that decision, it just comes down to finding the right package and price point for your budget.
There are some limo services that offer chauffeurs that will cater to every need the bride and groom may have on this important day. Some companies will even offer chilled champagne for the bride for her trip to the church and for the newly wedded couple on their way to the airport for their honeymoon. Just be sure to go over the pricing that fits into your budget in length with the company so you aren’t surprised when you receive the bill.
Fleet Options
The type of vehicle you choose to be driven around in can make a huge impact on which company you choose. For instance, if you have a strong conviction for “green” living, you would want to choose a company that offers eco-friendly vehicles in their fleet. On the other hand, if you’re planning a night out for your bachelor/bachelorette party, you’ll want to make sure they offer a vehicle large enough to accommodate everyone in your group.
For family vacations or business trips, you’ll probably want something a bit more luxurious that still offers plenty of room. The car service you choose should offer plenty of choices from sedans to SUVs so you’re able to pick the one that fits your needs the best.
If you have an event, vacation, or trip coming up that would cause you to need a car service, remember these questions to make sure you get the best bang for your buck. Should you be planning a trip to San Francisco for business or pleasure, parking is limited, so we would be honored here at Angel Limo to provide the transportation you need.
