Who hasn’t imagined themselves being driven to a fancy party with a chauffeur holding open the door to welcome them and their friends onto the red carpet? Here are five reasons for upgrading your ride:
Minimizes stress.
Accepting an award, celebrating an anniversary, or attending your own wedding can be exciting and momentous events in your life. But, as with all great sources of happiness, you also feel a lot of stress. You’re already worrying about the speeches you have to make or if everything is going to go according to plan. You don’t need the stress of dealing with traffic or wondering if you’ll get there on time. In a hired limousine, you can relax, stretch out, or even catch a few winks if it’s been a long day. You commune with family or friends and can think about the event to come.
Avoids problems with getting lost or parking.
If you’re headed for a new venue or are in an unfamiliar city, you won’t know where to go, even with all your GPS gizmos turned on. Your tech isn’t always perfect and may sometimes lead you astray. A professional driver, on the other hand, has most likely been to your destination several times in his limo. And even if he hasn’t, it’s his responsibility to get you there on time. When you arrive, you won’t have to worry about finding a non-existent parking place. In fact, your limo may park blocks or miles away but can pick you up at your doorstep when you call.
It keeps everybody together.
Ever been to one of those parties where you’re waiting around for the guest of honor or your best friend to show up because you both took separate cars? That issue won’t exist if you all arrive in the same vehicle. Limos can transport from six to eight people, not counting the chauffeur and front passenger. So if you all take the same ride, you can ensure that you’ll have enough folks to get things started at the venue when you arrive.
It’s safer if you like to drink.
The typical safer strategy if you’re going on a night out on the town is to have you or a friend act as a designated driver. Everyone can then have fun with drinking while one person stays sober enough to drive and to miss all the fun. Otherwise, you risk a DUI ticket or worse, an accident, if you drive even slightly buzzed. With someone else doing the driving, everyone in the party gets to enjoy the champagne without worrying about potential incidents.
You arrive in style.
Admit it. Arriving in style is the best and only reason that you want to hire a limo. You want to be seen and turn heads when you get there. “Having someone drive you to your destination and then open the door to welcome you there makes you feel special,” said Absolute Taxi. And you can share that feeling with all the people who’ve come with you.
