Ride smart every time you use a sedan service.
Choose a Reputed Service
Call every company whose service you’re considering. See whether the people you speak to seem professional and helpful. If you leave a voicemail, see if they return your call promptly. Ensure that your questions are answered accurately, clearly, and courteously. Check their websites as well, as a professional company would ensure their site is designed well and regularly updated. Fill out their online form and see how and when they respond. Check their reviews as well.
Book in Advance
When you choose a service, ensure that you make your reservation in advance. This way, you will be sure that your ride will be ready and waiting for you when you need it. If you call at the last minute, chances are that they could be booked out and may not be able to service your request. It doesn’t matter whether you’re going to the airport, for a nice evening with your spouse or a client meeting; planning ahead is always recommended.
Learn About the Drivers
The drivers can make or break the service. So learn about them. Check whether they’re employees or independent contractors, their safety records and training details. Ask whether the service requires the drivers to qualify for a special license or whether they need to take a defensive driving course. See if the company’s website has profile photos of their drivers. Check whether they wear uniforms, are well-groomed, and professionals.
Ask Questions
Don’t worry about asking too many questions. After all, you’ll be trusting this service with your time, money, business, and your life as well. Find out how long they’ve been in business, their safety record, and how many locations they service. Ask if they run background checks and drug test their drivers. Check how many cars they have in their fleet, the average vehicle age, and the kind of vehicles as well. Ask about their charges and how the costs are broken down.
Pay Later
Once you do all the checks, select a service and book it, use the service before you pay for it. In case the car doesn’t show up due to an emergency, accident, or unforeseen event, you won’t be out of pocket. You won’t have to follow up either. Only pay a deposit in case they request it and settle your bill once you use their service.
