If you have an upcoming event that requires a luxury car service, you need to read this article before choosing a company. There are several factors that have always distinguished car services as safe, professional, and reliable and our Limo Service in Nashville has compiled a list of these components to help you identify a dependable car service wherever you are.
Licenced and Insured
This is one of the most critical features of a good car service; the luxury car service you are considering should be fully licensed and insured. Some limo services want to save some money by perceiving insurance as an unnecessary cost as opposed to a concern for the safety of their clients. They, therefore, go for the least expensive form of insurance they can get, or even none at all. Make sure that the company you are about to contract can prove that they are insured and that they are fully licensed in accordance with state laws, otherwise do not book them.
Skilled and Experienced Chauffeurs
All good luxury car services run background checks on their chauffeurs before they are allowed to drive clients around in the company vehicles. The car service you are considering should give you assurance and proof that their employees have passed rigorous tests; assurance that you are in safe hands and that the chauffeurs have valid licenses.
Proximity
Most car services will start billing you the minute they pull out of their car lot, and because of this, you should choose a car service that is close to your preferred pick-up spot. If they are too far from your location, you could end up paying a lot of unnecessary costs. Sneaky companies will even have local phone numbers whose phone calls are diverted to an out-of-town office. This way they are able to cash in on the extra travel fees. So be vigilant and don’t be fooled; get clear ‘travel from’ estimates before you put your John Hancock on paper.
Contract
It is perfectly normal to negotiate and bargain with your potential service provider, but don’t overlook the importance of having all your agreed terms in writing. This contract should contain all the details of the cost, refund policies, tip policies, the agreed transportation timelines, pick-up and drop-off points, the vehicle model, company liability, terms of conduct etc. Always read the agreement and ask for clarification on any vague terms you may come across.
Great Reviews
One of the most effective ways to assess the reliability of a car service is by looking for client testimonials and reviews. Check each potential company’s website or yelp page and see what other clients have to say about their experience. It is always a bad sign when you can’t find any reviews on the company and an even worse sign if the company has poor reviews. Only go for a company with excellent user reviews; you are most likely going to experience just as good of an experience as your predecessors.
