frequently asked questions

What Should I Expect in a Chauffeur?

Expect your chauffeur to attend to your needs. Just ask him or her to stop for you, explain any limousine options, and suggest popular destinations. Always wait for the driver to open your door. Remember the driver is there to serve you. If you spill something, let the driver know immediately so that the proper cleaning steps may be taken. Our chauffeurs work for gratuity only. Please tip accordingly. Back to Top

 

More is better in the case of directions. Give the driver as many details as possible about your destinations so that they may plan a route. Remember that limousines may not travel on every road or into every parking area. Be patient with your driver and work with him or her to plan alternate routes where necessary.

Try not to quickly “flood” the driver with several street names at once. The possibility of remembering the 5th or 6th street name and the direction of the turn is possible, but the probability of error is still there. If you have an extended list of pickups, the driver would happily accept a written itinerary. This will help avoid time costly driving errors (it takes time to turn a limousine around and back track) and also allows you to spend time with your guests instead of navigating. Back to Top
