Why Taking A Limo May Be A Better Option

Why Taking A Limo May Be A Better Option Unless you live in a Hobbit Village, youve heard about Uber. Its the latest incarnation of the traditional taxi, and its virtually everywhere.  In my opinion, in many cases its a better option than that smelly cab Ive been in a few times.  Then again, I think back to the handful of times when I opted for a limo.  Heres why you should consider going with  the limo option. Cost is Relative To Service I remember the first time I decided on a limo.  I had flown into Liberty International in Newark, New Jersey.  For some reason, there was a delay in getting a cab, but there was a limo waiting and ready at the curb.  The fare was more, of course, something like $12 more.  But as with anything we spend our money on, value has to be considered in the equation.  Lets face it, if it was just about money, wed simply walk and keep all our money in our pocket.  So the question is, what are you getting for the extra cost of a limo? You know the price in advance.  Theres no wondering if youre being long-hauled to run the fare up. You get a clean, luxurious car.  Remember those cabs with interiors that made you cringe?  Forget that. You get a uniformed, polite driver.  No worries about there being Nightmare On Elm Street in the front seat. Your car comes to you.  Skip the line of people who all want the same taxi that you do. Waiting time is usually included.  Instead of the meter running while youre  . . . breathing. The car is newer, air conditioned, and maintained.  No worries about a break down. Yes, the benefits of a limo vary from city to city.  But for example if youre traveling to London , Blacklane Limo includes complimentary wait time, all-inclusive rates, and free  cancellation in addition to the quality ride and professional driver.  Blacklane also offers service in many other major cities.  So check out  the options where youre headed on your next business or pleasure trip. Avoiding Your Worst Nightmare Whats your worst nightmare, you ask?  Imagine all of the above going wrong.  After fighting three other travelers for it, you get into a crappy cab, piloted by Freddy himself.  It looks like it may have carried World War II soldiers, and smells accordingly.  You get the scenic route to your destination . . . while the meter is buzzing and the driver is grinning . . . until the engine dies.  At which time the driver reminds you that youll have to pay for wait time because its YOUR fault for bringing all that heavy luggage. So the next time you have two choices for a ride, pick the limo.  Believe me, its worth it. Images: Limo  Paul   Taxi  Frederick Dennstedt
