We know you have many options when it comes to hiring a\ndriver for your transportation needs. App-based companies like Uber and Lyft\ncontinue to increase in popularity as a common way to get around these days. But\nmany of these companies have come scrutiny lately, and we believe there are\nseveral reasons why a professional car service is better option when you have\nplans to go somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, an Uber or Lyft is really a less expensive\nalternative to a taxi. So think about that for a second. When you are booking\ntransportation, is a cheap replacement for a taxi really the way you want to\ntravel and arrive? When you book a ride from one of these places, you\u2019re not\nreally expecting a super-nice car, and you\u2019re not trying to make a statement.\nYou\u2019re simply getting from Point A to Point B, and you don\u2019t really think about\nthe ride again after you step out of the car (unless it was a terrible\nexperience). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, these app driver services are not a good\nsubstitute for a stretch limo, party bus,\nshuttle bus or a passenger van. And while you can order an UberX or Uber XL for\na town car or SUV, do you really want to make a last-minute choice for a\nspecial event? Or do you prefer to plan ahead and know exactly what you\u2019re\ngetting? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you rent\na limousine or any of the other fantastic vehicles in the Colony Limo fleet,\nyou are paying for a great experience with equally great style. And if you are\nplanning transportation for a very special event, such as your prom, wedding, anniversary,\na big party or corporate outing, a limousine or a party bus is the far superior\nchoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are so many variable to think about when you book a\ncar. For example, who is your driver? With many of the app-based companies,\nanyone 21 years or older with a car can drive. But you don\u2019t know about their\nexperience, both personal and professional, when it comes to driving and\nproviding a service. Their drivers aren\u2019t well-screened or certified for\nsafety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Colony Limo, all our drivers must be at least 26 years old with a clean criminal\nbackground and driving record, along with a chauffeur license issued by the\ncity of Houston. Other requirement for our drivers include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our chauffeurs are required to independently verify and\ntrack each client\u2019s routes and\/or flights prior to service to preemptively\navoid any delays or route discrepancies. Also, there\u2019s no guarantee an Uber\ndriver will wait on your if you\u2019re running late; but Colony Limos strives to\nprovide excellent service, which means we can accommodate any schedule.\nCustomers come first and we go the extra mile to ensure you reach your\ndestination safely and on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
App-based services can cancel your car at any time, for\nany reason, and just not show up. This can be especially problematic if you\u2019re\nin a hurry and\/or traveling a long distance (such as to the airport or\npreparing to leave for a cruise). However, we will never limit where you want\nto go, and our drivers don\u2019t refuse jobs because of long drives, bad weather or\ncity traffic. \n\nRest\nassured, with Colony Limo, your experience will be excellent, and your driver\nwill be professional and respectful for the entire ride as you enjoy experience\nof traveling in luxury and comfort. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
