Car service vs. ride-hailing and taxis
For a quick solo trip across town, a taxi or ride-hailing app is usually cheaper. A private chauffeur is worth it when the trip matters: an early flight you can't miss, an executive or guest who needs to be met inside, a day of meetings with a car waiting outside, or a group that needs several matching vehicles. You also know the price in advance; app prices can jump at busy times like Friday evenings and big events.
Corporate accounts
Companies that book regularly can open an account with one monthly invoice and one point of contact. See corporate car service .
