Why New Orleans Businesses Choose Professional Car Service Over Rideshare

For ordinary personal use, a rideshare app such as Uber or Lyft is perfectly fine. However, for corporate travel, entertaining clients and business functions, professional car service offers the ordering and service consistency, professionalism and dependability that Uber simply is not equipped to provide. More New Orleans companies are calling on the luxuries of Jazzy Limousine & Shuttle for their business transportation requirements and here is why.

Consistency

However, the single greatest benefit of a professional car service is consistency. With rideshare, you “never know” (1) which vehicle, if any, is going to arrive; (2) if the driver can actually find the place he/she is supposed to; (3) when the downtown convention center and the Sugar Bowl/Saints will add “surge pricing” which triples your fare. Jazzy Limousine & Shuttle guarantees the vehicle you paid for (a PAX-approved chauffeur in professional dress), a flat rate (no surge), and on-time arrival every time.

When your client gets off the plane at MSY and the chauffeur (with name sign) is standing next to a shiny Mercedes-Benz, their first impression of New Orleans is not going to be tarnished by the rideshare experience.

Billing

Corporate car service makes managing travel expenses much more straightforward. Unlike navigating through numerous rideshare receipts for each employee’s account, a corporate account receives one comprehensive monthly bill including a detailed report of every trip, listing passenger names, pickup and dropoff times, vehicle types and associated cost per trip. This drastically reduces hassle and simplifies expense accounting, tax filing and budget expenditure tracking.

Safety

Commercial car service companies have business insurance, check backgrounds and drug test, and have driver training certification. Jazzy Limousine & Shuttle drivers have received PAX certification from the National Limousine Association’s approved training provider including defensive driving, passenger safety, and emergency procedures. Vehicles are commercially licensed, inspected, and maintained to a level above any personal vehicle that can be used for rideshare driving.
