Current international travel conditions in Europe

Due to the spread of the coronavirus, many countries have closed their borders to private passenger traffic. Because of the increasing restrictions and difficulties at the moment, cross-border transportation has been greatly affected. It is also highly likely additional restrictions will be imposed in the future. These limitations concern both international and domestic travel.

We strongly advise our customers to double-check their travel plans as we cannot provide cross-border transfers due to closed borders. Check the latest information here via the official website Netherlands worldwide. All you need to know about living, working, travelling and doing business abroad.

As we comply with local rules, we watch closely, receive daily information on these measures and act accordingly.

Any new piece of information would be gladly shared with our customers.

Our hints and recommendations

As we have been through some of these travel situations in the previous years (SARS, MERS), here is our recommendation to all of our leisure and business passengers.

Consider using a chauffeured vehicle for your meetings or trips as public transportation increases the risk of acquiring Covid-19.

Be exposed to one person – our chauffeur who has ensured that your vehicle has been disinfected and sanitized, instead of being exposed to large crowds.

Don’t miss face-to-face meetings. As business people, we understand nothing seals the deal or gets the important company message across like a face-to-face meeting.

Just in case needed, consider long distance transfers across the border (where possible), we will be happy to offer a reliable and safe transportation at most effective costs to have your chauffeur on your side.

We understand and are eager to assist you.

Stay safe and healthy and thank you for trusting us with your consideration have a safe reliable transportation.

7 Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring a Luxury Car Service

Written by Richard on 09/06/2020. Posted in Chauffeur Service.

If you’ve got an event planned or an important client to impress, you might be looking into a luxury car service for your transportation needs. This is a great way to give your clients the full luxury experience and make your company look great.

If you’ve never hired luxury cars before, though, you could end up making some rookie mistakes that could cost you money or even be embarrassing.

If you want to avoid any potential mishaps, don’t worry, we’ve been through it already. We can help you stray away from some of the most common mistakes that people make when hiring luxury vehicles.

Keep reading to learn all about it.

1. Only Looking at Price

It’s okay to price shop, everyone does it. Let’s face it, we all want a good deal if we can get one, right?

However, if your only factor for choosing a luxury car service is the price, you’re going to have a bad time. If one company is undercutting the rest, especially by a large margin, it’s likely that they’re cutting corners elsewhere.

Make sure that when you find a great deal you look at the rest of what the service has to offer. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

2. Not Price-Shopping at All

Surprise!

While you shouldn’t be looking at price exclusively, doing a bit of window-shopping while you figure out how much you’re able to spend totally makes sense.

Some companies offer the same services for a more affordable price than others. Sometimes you can find deals for certain situations. This is a big expense, and you don’t want to spend more than you have to.

So, to review, it’s okay to want to save a bit of money. Just make sure you’re not only looking to save money.

3. Hiring Without Reviews

Internet reviews can be tricky.

They can really make or break a business, and it’s theorized that more people leave negative reviews than positive ones unless otherwise prompted. Then, it makes it difficult to tell what’s really going on with the service.

That means when a service has good reviews, though, that it’s probably pretty good. Read through the reviews, not just the star rating, and see if the service aligns with that you personally need from it.

Skipping the reviews could lead you into a situation where you end up with someone that completely is misaligned with you. If a company has no reviews at all, that’s also suspicious. Maybe they’re new, but if that’s the case, do you want to be the guinea pig? Especially if you’re impressing clients?

Stick with what other people are saying. Don’t trust just the top or the bottom, but most realistic reviews are the ones in the middle.

4. Booking the Wrong Car

How awkward.

If you’re booking a luxury car service, you probably have pretty specific vehicular needs.

If you’re too quick or careless with your booking, you could end up with something that doesn’t work at all for what you’re trying to do.

Maybe it doesn’t have enough seats, or maybe it has too many. Maybe it’s too bulky, or too loud.

Maybe your boss or client had a very specific model in mind and you completely dropped the ball on that instruction. Maybe this car is way outside of your budget.

While some companies may be lenient with adjusting bookings, you should be careful and make sure that you’re getting everything that you need on the first try.

5. Not Discussing Payment Details

There will likely be a discussion of prices when you’re booking your car.

Don’t leave it to what’s said upfront. Continue inquiring about any further charges that could possibly come up. Are there cleaning costs? Costs for gas? Costs for certain kinds of communication between yourself and the driver?

Are there late or early fees?

Some of these seem obvious, but you need to ask first so there are no unpleasant surprises later. You want to be on the same page as your luxury car service.

6. Booking Late

Maybe you’ve realized day-off, or even the night before that you really need this luxury car service for whatever purpose that you’re using it for. You need to bring your client from the airport to your business in style.

A lot of these services are busy and require an earlier booking if you want to know that your experience is going to go smoothly.

If it’s a slow period, you may be able to book the night before and have no problems. Wouldn’t it be better, though, to save yourself the trouble and stress and book ahead of time? This isn’t Uber, this is a luxury service.

7. Not Doing Research

Anyone with a license can drive a car. You want to make sure you’re getting the car service that suits your needs.

It’s important for you to look into license and insurance information, overall ratings and safety ratings, and the services that are offered. If you choose blindly, you could end up missing out on a service that better suits your needs elsewhere.

Are You Prepared to Hire Your Luxury Car Service?

Renting a luxury car for your business or client needs can be a great way to really amp up their experience. If you get it wrong though, you can run into some embarrassing experiences. Don’t make these mistakes when you’re looking for your luxury car service and you’ll be headed for success.

7 Benefits of Using Airport Transfer for Business Trips

Written by Richard on 29/05/2020. Posted in Uncategorized.

According to the FAA, 2.7 million people board a flight each day. Many of these travelers are flying for business.

Do you have an upcoming business flight? Have you considered how you will get to and from the airport?

Make your trip comfortable, efficient, and safe by using an airport transfer service. Read this article for 7 benefits you will receive when using airport transfer professionals.

1. Safety First

A private airport transfer company goes the extra mile to ensure your safety. These companies have their reputation to think of and are one of the safest options.

Hiring a local driver via an airport transfer company is a great option because they know the city well and drive the streets daily. When you drive by yourself in a country or city you are unfamiliar with you may run into some trouble. The roadway laws may be different, the traffic is different and the other drivers on the road might not be too patient as you try to figure out where you are supposed to be going.

An airport transfer service company uses experienced chauffeurs who are trained and have gone through extensive security checks. You can rest assured that you will have a safe driving experience when using an airport transfer.

2. Right Time, Right Price

Using an airport transfer services company to pick you up from the airport will reduce the amount of time associated with travel. You will also save money when using an airport transfer service company.

You won’t have to worry about over-priced parking fees at the airport. There won’t be the hassle and fees associated with renting a car either.

Since the drivers are locals they know the city well and the exact route to get you to your hotel or airport on time. The drivers are very punctual and will ensure you are on time to your destination.

Most people think hiring an airport transfer service company is expensive but it is not. An airport transfer service won’t break your business trip budget because you won’t have to pay for parking, rental car fees, insurance, or fuel and you can start working right away.

All of these things come at one fixed rate with a transport service. A reputable service isn’t going to raise your rate after you booked your travel with their company. You can have peace of mind that your price will be fair and you will reach your destination on time with an airport transfer service company.

3. Reliability

Arriving at the airport late is a nightmare for any traveler. When you use a professional airport transportation company you will get the correct gate on time every time.

Most professional luxury ground transportation companies, track your flight and monitor for minor delays. They will use this information to adjust the time of your pick-up and drop-off. There will make sure you get to the airport with plenty of time to catch your flight.

Also, you will never have to worry about being stranded at the airport without a ride. An airport transfer service company will know if your plane is landing early and will adjust your pickup time so that you are not waiting for them.

Your airport transfer service should have many options for vehicles to choose from. Each of these vehicles is properly serviced and maintained so you never have to worry about hygiene, breakdowns, or personal safety.

4. No Lines, No Waiting

Using a professional airport transfer services company, will eliminate the lines and waiting you will experience with rideshare apps or to pick up a rental car. Public transport can be confusing to figure out and many systems might not have a line that comes to the airport.

The airport transfer service process is very easy and you can skip the long lines and wait.

Book your airport transfer transportation before your flight and let them know which airline you are traveling on and your flight number. They will suggest a time of arrival and make sure you get there on time.

When your flight lands, you can collect your luggage in a relaxed manner and then simply walk over the pick-up area of your airport. Your driver will be there waiting for you. You should never have to wait when using a professional airport transfer service company.

5. Travel in Comfort

When using a rideshare app or renting a car, you can never be too sure of the type of car you are going to get, and who is driving you! Yes, a car rental place will allow you to choose your vehicle, but many times they run out and have to put you in a different model.

How many times have you rented a car that smelled heavily of smoke or food? Sometimes the interior of your rental car or rideshare vehicle is not up to your standards of cleanliness. They can also be a bit cramped and just downright uncomfortable.

With an airport transfer service, there will always be enough room for you and your luggage. You will have full privacy because you will not be sharing your ride with anyone else.

The cars are luxurious, and many fleets have several vehicle options you can choose from. Your car will be clean and smell good.

After a long cramped flight, you can travel in comfort and style with a professional airport transfer service.

6. Get a Jump on Work

When you book an airport transfer service you can complete work-related tasks while you are in the backseat. Safely make phone calls or finish up your report before you get to the airport.

Leave the driving to the driver and complete your tasks at hand. An airport transfer is perfect for busy professionals.

7. A Warm Welcome

It’s always nice to see a smiling face to greet you at the airport. Your airport transfer service will greet you warmly and help carry the luggage. A luxury vehicle will take you comfortably to your final destination safely and unload your bags when you arrive.

All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Using Airport Transfer is Easy

Professional airport transfer services are the perfect way to travel for business. When using airport transfer services you can leave your worries behind and travel in style and comfort.

7 Tips for Choosing Luxury Black Car Service for Corporate Travel

Written by Richard on 22/05/2020. Posted in Uncategorized.

In the world of business, first impressions mean everything. From your suit to choosing a luxury black car service, you want to show style and class.

The next time you have a business trip, use these tips to pick the right vehicle. Comfort and class produce an image that others want to follow.

1. Know Your Budget

Renting a luxury vehicle over a standard rental from an airport will be much more expensive. Within the luxury category, prices will vary from a Mercedes to a Porsche.

Conduct your own research and compare prices. Examine each company and ask about hidden fees or extra perks. Do you get a driver with your rental? If you rent a limousine, what extra features are included in the cost?

Ultimately, you should understand that the comfort and style will produce a higher price tag for your bottom line.

2. What Does the Vehicle Say?

What kind of message is your luxury car sending about the company? A limousine or Range Rover might convey to people that your business is doing well. Renting a Lamborghini might show potential business partners that you’re irresponsible.

Depending on your business, the color and type of vehicle should match your mission and goals.

For example, an accounting firm wouldn’t want to rent a bright pink convertible for corporate travel. A social media influencer with millions of teenage followers would fare well with a bright-colored flashy car.

Both of these entities have business objectives and require travel, but their vehicles must match their visions.

3. Cut to the Chase

When you start speaking with a reputable luxury vehicle company, make sure you cut to the chase and provide a list of everything you need. A list makes it easier for the company to run through their inventory to match what you want.

You don’t have to explain your choices or justify any demands. If rental management cannot provide exactly what’s on your list of needs, then ask about alternative solutions.

Imagine you are trying to secure a luxury vehicle to pick up an important executive. The executive enjoys having chilled drinks in the back of a limousine, but the company cannot provide a vehicle with refrigeration. Ask management if they can buy cold drink options just before they get the executive.

Remember, this is your reputation and the right vehicle will help uphold that image.

4. Who Is Driving?

Do you want a driver or a chauffeur for your corporate affairs? Knowing the difference between the two can make or break a business trip.

Drivers

Anyone can be a driver. The rise of Uber and Lyft has shown that anyone with a driver’s license can become qualified to shuttle people around.

Unfortunately, there have been too many legal and social problems with the drivers of these services. There’s no real vetting of credentials other than a simple background check.

When a company promotes its drivers, ask about their experience as professional drivers or clean driving records.

Chauffeurs

A chauffeur brings a whole new level of class and professionalism to the business world.

Chauffeurs have extensive experience driving executives, VIPs, celebrities, and political dignitaries. They understand the conditions, timing, and layout of the city and roads.

When you have a chauffeur, you can expect to be cared for and listened to by a professional who can anticipate your needs.

5. Inspect the Fleet of a Luxury Black Car Service

If time permits, always inspect the vehicle fleet in person. Photographers can do wonders with editing software; they can make old run-down vehicles look brand new.

Don’t end up in a nightmare scenario where you rent a luxury car without inspecting the fleet. Nothing would be worse than a dirty and broken down car arriving to transport VIPs.

While you’re going over the cars in person, ask for a test drive. A Mercedes might look great but handle really rough. Test the brakes, acceleration, handling, and turning.

6. Referrals and Reputation

You want to rent from a luxury vehicle company that has an excellent reputation. Having a good reputation doesn’t mean they are perfect, but it means they will make things right if something wrong happens.

Referrals from other organizations will help put your mind at ease. You can also call the company you’re thinking of using and ask for a list of references of satisfied customers.

Another method of figuring out if you want to explore using a rental company is by looking at reviews.

Reviews offer a plethora of opinions and experiences. Too many negative reviews don’t always reflect the service, but you should raise constructive questions. A majority of positive reviews doesn’t mean the company is perfect.

Do your own research and digging to find out if the company has an excellent reputation and proper credentials.

7. Shop Around

You can’t guarantee amazing service or affordable pricing without shopping around for different options.

Call and see if a company can provide packages or services at a lower rate for repeat business. Additionally, see if they have specials or lower fares for slower business times.

The luxury rental company might offer extra perks or benefits if they know you are shopping around for other service providers. Use their need for business to leverage a better deal.

After you find the right luxury service and vehicle, see if they are willing to exchange a review for future credit. Customer satisfaction can lead to a strong business relationship that benefits both parties for years to come.

Travel in Luxury

Your business needs to show uniformity and brand with the vehicles used for corporate travel. Make a lasting impression with vendors and clients alike.

If you’re choosing a luxury black car service, follow these tips to protect your image and travel in comfort.

9 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Chauffeur Service

Written by Richard on 15/05/2020. Posted in Uncategorized @en, Uncategorized @en.

Sometimes hiring a chauffeur service is easier than driving to a destination yourself. However, there are some things that you need to understand before hiring a transportation company.

In this article, we are going to give you the 9 questions, that you need to ask before signing a contract with a chauffeur service. Asking these questions will provide you with all the answers you need before you’re able to ride comfortably in the backseat.

Hiring A Chauffeur Service

A good chauffeur service will provide top-notch professional service at a price that is reasonable and also affordable. There’s a lot of questions whose answers can be the difference between turning a relaxing trip into a total nightmare if the answers aren’t the answers that you’ve been looking for.

How Are The Vehicles Up-kept?

You must ask how the company provides maintenance for the fleet of cars that they use to provide their driving services. Care means having the car cleaned, having the oil changed, tires changed, and much more.

Think about it you don’t want to drive in a car that is dirty on the outside and the inside. The way a company takes care of the vehicles that will make them money says a lot about the company and its conduct.

What Is Included In The Package?

When you hire a chauffeur service, you may want to ask what all is included in their driving packages. Some services may offer you bottled water and snacks that you can eat while enjoying your drive.

It is essential to ask this question. After all, you don’t want to hire the company and be taken aback because you weren’t aware of the specifications of the package that you’ve purchased.

What’s The Cost?

This is probably one of the most important questions that you need to ask. What are they going to charge you to use their services for your trip? There are a few things that need to be taken into consideration when the cost is configured.

Included in the price will be the size of the car, how long you’ll need to rent the vehicle, how far you’re traveling, the size of the travel group, and add-ons that you may request before the trip.

Are Safety Precautions Taken?

When trusting someone else with your well-being, it is vital to understand what safety measures the company is taking. Do they have a first aid kit in the car if necessary? Is there a spare tire in case one of the tires goes flat?

Are the seatbelts in working condition? A reputable company will ensure that its vehicles provide customers with an enjoyable and safe experience.

How Well-Trained Are The Drivers?

The company that you select should have a host of drivers that are experienced and know how to provide optimal customer service. Their drivers should also be qualified and have no traffic violations on their records.

Violations such as speeding tickets or DUI’s can allude to a driver being irresponsible. The drivers for the company should be responsible and professionally conduct themselves when they are around clients.

Drivers should be certified and trained every couple of months. This ensures they are up-to-date on safety procedures and modes of professionalism when driving a client around.

Can They Show You Reviews/Testimonials?

The best way to gauge how a company conducts its business is to review the client reviews and testimonials that have been published. Before signing a contract, ask the company if they would be willing to present you with a copy of the testimonials and reviews that clients have left for them.

Testimonials are the best way to understand the good and bad things that have been said about the company. If a company isn’t willing to provide reviews, it may be a sign that they don’t have the best reputation or relationship with past clients.

Can You See All Of The Cars In The Fleet?

Before you’ve signed a contract, you need to see the cars in the company’s fleet. You should be able to tour the fleet and look inside the vehicles that you may be interested in renting for your trip.

While you’re touring the fleet, you need to ask what the price difference is between each car choice so that you can choose one that fits within your budget and for your needs.

What Is Their Cancellation Policy?

There are times when something may come up, and you’ll need to cancel your trip. When things like this happen, it’s essential to know what the cancellation or change policy is for the company.

Not knowing what the policies are ahead of time could mean that you’re charged for the rental regardless of whether you were taking the trip. Some companies are flexible and can be forgiving depending on the situation, and some companies are stricter.

How Long Have You had Your Cars?

It is essential to know the age of the cars that are featured in the companies fleet. Older cars may not be as suitable for a long trip like newer cars. Vehicles that are older and have a higher mileage may present a safety hazard for those that are riding in the car.

If the company that you’re looking at used cars that are more than 5 years old, you may want to consider looking for a different company to hire that provides chauffeur services.

The Wrap-Up

When hiring a chauffeur service asking the 9 questions that we provided above will give you all the things you need to know about who you’re hiring. This will save you time and money when you’re choosing a company to ride with.

If you’re looking for a company that has the experience and the client testimonials to back it up, we encourage you to visit our website and contact us today. Put our services to work for you and your group.

NLA Launches PSA in Partnership with NSVRC

Written by Richard on 17/02/2017. Posted in Uncategorized, Uncategorized.

PR Newswire, NEW YORK ( November 2, 2016) The National Limousine Association’s Ride Responsibly™ initiative (www.rideresponsibly.org) and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (www.nsvrc.org) have joined forces to produce a public service campaign, starring actress and activist Pamela Anderson. The PSA educates the industry and public at large about the dangers associated with ride-hailing apps. The video, titled “The Driving Game!”, is an extension of the Ride Responsibly initiative to improve safety for passengers using ride-hailing apps. In the PSA, Ms. Anderson takes a lighthearted approach at communicating the critically important point that “you can’t always vet the driver you are using, but the service you are using should.” “With an alarming number of alleged sexual assaults involving ride-hail app drivers, our partnership with the NSVRC is a vital step towards bringing these urgent matters to the forefront of conversation here in the United States,” said Gary Buffo, President of the NLA. “Due to the perilously incomprehensive background checks used by ride-hailing apps, we must establish a new nationwide standard, inclusive of fingerprinting for all ground transportation providers.” The NSRVC, known for preventing and responding to sexual violence through collaboration, sharing and creating resources and promoting research, advocates for stricter regulations to protect riders. “Prevention of sexual violence is everyone’s responsibility,” NSVRC CEO Delilah Rumburg said. “Organizations, like the National Limousine Association, have the ability to create and strengthen policies to promote safety and respect for all. We’re proud to partner with the National Limousine Association— as they work to ensure the safety of all those who use hired transportation. “Every day, millions of Americans use ride-hailing apps that do not always hold their drivers accountable for their behavior behind the wheel, leaving passengers vulnerable,” said Pamela Anderson. “Much more concerning are incidents of sexual assault. It is time we implement some common sense measures, including comprehensive background checks and drug testing, for everyone’s safety.” The NLA continuously seeks new ways to protect passengers of any ground transportation vehicle, including prearranged services and ride-hailing apps. This new PSA reinforces the message of the NLA’s 2015 Ride Responsibly campaign, encouraging passengers to “Think Before You App!”
