Who would have thought that riding in a limousine could make you look like a celebrity and save your life? It is no secret that big parties and celebrations can get just a bit crazy. At weddings, at birthday ragers, and a bachelor or bachelorette parties, more than a few drinks are expected. Why not? A party is one of your only days out of the whole year to be yourself and have the time of your life! You should have as much fun as possible. But a wild night out does not relieve you of your responsibility to keep yourself, your friends, and other people around you safe. Renting a limousine to show off in front of your friends at the beginning of the night ends up being a critical — potentially even life-saving — choice as the night winds down. On your big night, a limo is probably one of the safest cars you can be in. Here are some of the reasons why.
Each limousine is driven by an experienced, licensed chauffeur. He or she will have had years of practice and experience driving limos. Rest assured that his or her record is spotless and that you are definitely in good hands while getting to or from the party. Your safety is a chauffeur’s number one priority, while the average taxi driver is usually only looking for the payment at the end of the trip. After a bit of careful research, you can find the most reputable companies that have the best drivers. With the finest chauffeur behind the wheel, the safety of both the people inside the vehicle and those outside the car can be guaranteed.
A chauffeur is superior to a driver of a ridesharing company for quite a few more reasons. He or she will be held accountable for any mistakes during the ride; therefore, your driver will take extra caution to make sure you are taken care of. To be hired, limo drivers are personally interviewed by their employers, background checked and must have provided exemplary service in the past, while a driver for a rideshare service is never extensively interviewed and only needs to have a license and insurance. Thus, when you get into a limo, you are driving with a driver trusted by his or her company and colleagues; however, when you get into a car with a driver for a ridesharing company, you could be driving with anyone, qualified or not.
If you are attending a birthday party (or any kind of party, really), you are probably not traveling alone. You probably have about four or five of your best friends with you, and you guys cannot exactly fit into the average Uber or Lyft. Splitting up, especially if you have been drinking, is definitely not safe, and, therefore, not a choice you should make. And driving yourselves while under the influence is certainly not an option, either. If you had rented a limo beforehand, you and your friends could just get in the back and be on your way.
When you go out, you should always make sure that you have the best time possible, but you should also always be sure that you can get home safely. Getting in trouble with traffic laws or getting into an accident is never a good thing, but it can especially hit hard on one of your most important nights and, inevitably, soil the evening. So, when you go out for huge celebrations, rent a limo — get to and from the party in style and, most importantly, safely.
