‏Why do people love limousine travel? Let me count the ways. Pardon me, I just had to throw in a little poetry. But actually, let's consider all the ways in which limousine travel is superior to taxi travel.

Lets start out by looking at limo convenience. When you travel in a limo you make an appointment ahead of time. You never have to stand out on the street corner and hail a limousine. With many limousine concerns you can establish phone contact with the driver, before he picks you up, so there is no chance of a slip up. Limos wait for you at the airport even when the flight is delayed. And limousine chauffeurs offer meet and greet. When you disembark from the plane in a new city, your chauffeur will be inside the airport lobby holding up a large sign with your name on it.

Limo drivers use GPS guidance systems, as a result they won't need stop to request directions and therefore you will have a smooth ride from start to finish. Your private limo driver won't stop to pick up additional passengers along the route whereas a cab driver might. Additionally you can make private arrangements with your driver. If he drives you on the way to the airport and you like him you can ask him to pick you up on the way home. With a taxi cab, driver assignments go through the company office and you get whomever they assign to you.

For airport runs limo drivers charge a flat fee, whereas cabbies run their meter and watch it rise in heavy traffic and at traffic lights. For evenings on the town, you can hire one limo and it will accommodate 4, 8 or more riders all for one flat fee, whereas if you have a large party and travel by taxi, you might have to hire more than one vehicle each charging their own fare.

Now let us consider limo comfort, aah!! Limos are immaculately clean, usually taken to the car wash every other day, and are odor free on the inside, taxis are not and quite often have a tobacco smell inside. Limousines are more roomy then taxis and the plush leather seating is much more comfortable. Limo trunks are more spacious than taxi trunks and can accommodate more luggage. The limo ride, whether its in a sedan, Lincoln Continental or stretch, is much more comfortable than a cab; and with tainted windows and curtains limousine rides are also much more private.Frequently many limos provide amenities such as hot drinks, a refrigerator and a bar, cabs don't. Many limos have DVD players, piped in music, fiber optic lighting along the walls and ceiling or a private movie screen, and there are large limos even have a Jacuzzi.

Yeah, limos are usually, but not uniformly more expensive than cabs. But wow, look at all the benefits you get for your money. If traveling in a cab takes the headache out of driving, traveling in a modern limousine makes riding fun. So next time you are going somewhere consider treating yourself to the luxury of a ride in a limousine.
