Why Choose a Professional Limo Service Over Uber or Lyft?

Ride-sharing companies like Uber and Lyft have become ubiquitous in the last few years. While their services are good for people in a hurry to get from A to B, they lack the luxury, professionalism, and dependability of traditional limo services. Here’s why you should book a limo instead of an Uber or Lyft on your next urban outing.

Know the Driver

When riding in an Uber or Lyft vehicle, passengers are at the mercy of whoever happened to pick them up. Ride-share drivers may be completely unfamiliar with the area, inexperienced when it comes to customer service and care, and unreliable in time-sensitive situations. On the contrary, professional limo service drivers are highly trained service experts, prepared to ensure passengers a safe, efficient ride to their destination.

Have an Unforgettable Experience

Ride-share vehicles for Uber and Lyft tend to be rather average—in fact, they’re often just the driver’s personal car, van, or SUV. Limos, on the other hand, ooze luxury and style. There’s no more fabulous way to arrive at a special event or to pick up a date for a night on the town than in a limousine.

Professional limo services also offer more personalized attention. While Uber or Lyft vehicles may service dozens of passengers over the course of a day, limos arrive with only your party in mind. The vehicle will be clean, well stocked, and ready to whisk you to where you need to be.

Pay Less

Everyone expects limo services to be unaffordable. But while ride-share services may have limos beat when it comes to quick trips from A to B, limos often service larger parties. So depending on the number of passengers and the length of the trip, a professional limo service could be the most cost-effective (and cool) way to get around town.
