Choose your limo service wisely in Sydney



Life takes us to places.  Therefore, it is quite natural that we will expect a certain degree of comfort & convenience when we travel by cars. Strangely enough, most people don't realize how affordable and convenient it is to hire a limo car service instead of dealing with the hassles of public transportation, renting a car or relying on shuttle buses. In fact, with affordable point-to-point transfer rates and competitive hourly service rates, a limo service can be a much better option when it comes to exploring a big city like Sydney and traveling beyond.

However, it can be quite challenging to decide on the best limo service providers in Sydney, and the primary reason for this is there are hundreds of limousine service providers in Sydney.  Now, unless we are willing to spend tons of money, it would be virtually impossible to hire and try them all in order to compare their services, reliability and professionalism based on their prices. Of course, you can always Google-up the top 100 limo services in Sydney.  But your problem doesn’t solve there because you need just one good limo service provider that fits your “budget & criteria” instead of a hundred of them even though they all may be good.  Still, you can never be certain about your limo services? Can you?  So, what should you do, and what should you be looking for when hiring a limo company?  So, you should ask some serious questions when choosing a limo service provider:

1. Do you only care about clean-looking black limousine/Rolls Royace and nothing else?
2. Do you prefer a well-dressed driver in black suit and tie, or you are comfortable for your drivers to show up in plain jeans & sneakers?
3.  Do you mind the limo being more than 5 years old, and what should be the least numbers of years, according to you, for a limo firm to remain in the business to be picked up by you?
4. How you feel about your limo braking down just an hour before your pick-up time? Would that company have another car ready to pick you up just in time?
5. How okay are you with the fact that your driver is asking you for directions every 10 minutes?
6. What if your limo gets into an accident, and you found out that your limo company is not fully insure & protected by a reliable & certified commercial insurance?
7. Do they have websites and working land phone numbers where they can be reached?

If the answers to the questions, asked above, are negative, then you may be in for a ‘dangerous ride’ literally with you limo.

Professionalism and reliability are the keys to be successful for any service provider. So, when you are waiting for your airport pickup to catch a plane, I don’t think that anyone will be too comfortable sitting around and wondering why the limo driver hasn’t arrived yet.  Nor will you be very amused to learn that your “trusted” limo company will be 15 minutes late to pick you up when you are actually waiting to attend a very important corporate meeting to close a very lucrative business deal. In fact, any reliable & professional limo company knows that the driver should arrive at the designated location at least 15 minutes before the pick-up time. 

So, it will always be wise to do your homework before settling for your limo.  Just call them up and ask as many questions as you want. Conventional wisdom suggests that you always try a few companies, and if you find one that fits your “budget & requirements”, stick with it even if they ask 5-10 dollars more than their competitors.  Also, please do not assume that because one limo company charges $100 from Sydney airport to Downtown, and another one charges $125 or even more, the latter one is automatically better.  In fact, the chances are that they both offer the same quality of airport services, but once charges more because of its name & popularity. But why choose to pay extra when you do not really have to? Until next time, chao!
