The benefits to hiring a car service are many; most make your life and commuting easy. Car services can be used for various services such as going to the airport, out to dinner, or using for an evening out. But what are the key reasons that make them the best choice; here are some of the reasons, I am sure you will think of more.
1. No Road Rage
When driving yourself; no matter what time of day or night, you always seem to come across that person who has no sense of how to drive their vehicle. During rush hour periods; those bad drivers multiply ten fold. When you use a car service; you don't have to worry about them. You can just sit back and let the chauffeur put up with all the Mr. Magoo's on the road.
2. No Worrying About Directions
Once you make your reservation and give your transportation company where you need to go; they take it from there. A good car service will have a mapping program built into their reservation system and print out maps of any unusual locations their drivers are going to. A good chauffeur will also research where he/she is going and not rely on a GPS to get them there.
3. Time to Be More Productive
With the hassles of sitting in traffic in someone else's hands; you now have time to do other activities. You can read, catch up on email, catch up on voice mails, call that relative that you never have time to talk to, plan out your shopping list, make your birthday wish list, and the list goes on and on for your new found time. Many vehicles are even equipped with WiFi to make you even more productive. Maybe you just use your laptop to catch up on your video backlog or the latest episode of your favorite show. Anything you do is still better then driving yourself.
4. Door to Door Service
One of the best benefits to using a car service is eliminating the little hassles of driving yourself including finding parking close to where you are going, getting into a cold or hot vehicle, or waiting for a valet to bring up your vehicle. Your chauffeur will be awaiting you as you walk out your door to quickly and safely transport you directly to the location you are going to. This is especially wonderful on rainy or other bad weather days; no waiting for the air conditioning to cool off the car when you get in on a 100 degree day or no waiting for it to warm up as you shiver from the below zero temperatures. 5. Make An Impression
Using a car service can really make an impression on people. The perception is that you are important because you have a car taking you around. This can come in handy when you need to make that first great impression on a new business partner or a possible new client. One story that I heard recently was about a person who always sent a car service to pick up his dates; I am sure that made an early impression on them. Even if you are not trying to make an impression; being seen getting in and out of a nice black sedan or limousine will do just that.
Those are what we think are the top 5 reasons to hire a car service. We are sure that you can think of some that we missed or maybe you have a slightly different idea about one of our ideas.

Contrary to what you might believe, cheap limo hire can be found if you make the effort to look for it.
In fact, that can even include stretch limo hire.
Of course, assertions are fine but what could you actually do to try and access low-cost limo hire services? Some of the following tips might help:
Where possible, plan ahead. If you do that you'll be able to take your time in searching out the best deals.
Shop around. Getting various quotations and comparing them might not strike you as an exciting pastime but it's important because prices can vary widely. Be careful though to make sure you're comparing like with like. The person using their beaten up old car, possibly illegally, as a rentable limo is likely to offer rates that a professional executive limousine hire company couldn't and probably wouldn't wish to match. Would you really wish to buy services of that type and take a chance on your safety and perhaps insurance cover? It might not be a smart idea!
Share the cost. If you can get colleagues or friends involved and split the cost with them, it'll obviously be easier on your wallet. A slight variation on that might be indicating to the limousine provider that you'd be willing to share the vehicle. It's perhaps a long shot but they might have (e.g.) two airport runs to do at roughly the same time for you and another, with you both looking to keep your costs down.
Take advice. Instead of just calling up with your own version of what you see as the solution, why not pass your requirements to the limo hire company and let them come up with the most cost-effective solution for your cheap limo hire needs? That might even include giving them the maximum budget you have to work with. You might be surprised at how flexible they could be and the worst-case scenario is only that they'll say "sorry can't help". So, you've nothing to lose.
Hire by the hour. Not all limousine hire companies offer this type of deal but some do and it could save you a lot over those 'minimum half-day hire' types of provider.
Don't get fixated on a given vehicle. This is linked to point '4' above and involves not demanding the most prestigious (and therefore expensive) model the provider has in their fleet just because it's the most glamorous.
Manage your schedule to minimise hire time. Asking luxury limos to stand around waiting for you can be expensive. So, if you can bring a meeting forward or put it back so that it dovetails better into your diary, you'll need your car for less time and that'll save money. This also links again into point '4' because the limo hire company might be able to offer you a better deal between say 9-10am if they have spare capacity rather than on the same day at 11-12am if they already have heavy demand. Flexibility can be important.
