Chauffeurs for Rent: A New Twist On The Traditional Car Hire Service
April 4th, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed
Nowadays, car rentals are as common as having your own car. It is a luxury that many have used when they travel out of town or when their car has been put out of commission for whatever reason. Whether you are traveling or your car is being repaired, you can rent a car for a short period of time over the phone or by making an online reservation. Local car rental branches can be found in big cities, airports, etc. Popular car rental chains that come to mind would be Budget, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Avis, and Hertz.
Avis recently started to give the option to rent a chauffeur with your car rentals as well. The service so far is limited to 10 big cities such as New York and Los Angeles. It also requires that you give the company at least 24 hours notice. These chauffeurs require a three hour minimum charge at a rate of $30 per hour. Customers who are using this service are billed through a separate company called WeDriveU. The service should appeal to the business executives of all levels. While aimed at mid-level execs, any business person that lands into a small airport that does not offer car rentals should be interested.
Once the executive has landed, they do not have to worry about picking up their car rental. They can choose to have the chauffeur meet curbside with the car or have the chauffer meet in baggage claim to pick up their bags. They can release the chauffeur at any time they want and drive the car rental themselves.
The UK has been offering these services for quite some time now. To consumers there, chauffeur hire companies are independent of traditional rental-car institutions. It is easier to find a UK chauffeur company to hire a chauffeur than it is in the US. They are available to pick you from any UK airport. A company like chauffeur hire london will even provide chauffeurs who are also expert tour guides that will help you to explore any UK city.
