When you are considering local ground transportation in the Los Angeles area, you may have an idea of the things you want from a private car limousine or town car service. A few things to consider:

For some, that may be a relaxing, stress-free  and reliable way to get to one of our regional airports, such as LAX, Hollywood Burbank Airport, Ontario Airport, Long Beach Airport or John Wayne Airport.

For others, that may mean being chauffeur driven in a luxury vehicle. Such as a black Cadillac Sedan to a special event! Could be a birthday party, sports event or red carpet movie premiere in Hollywood.

That said, you should know that not all limousine and private car service companies are equal. Therefore, here are a few things everyone should consider before hiring private car service.

Online Reviews

Online reviews, particularly Google (or Yelp), have become a valuable tool that can help you decide what limo companies you might consider calling. In fact, there are many people who won’t even bother contacting a company with less than a 5-star average rating in Google reviews. That can limit your choices, but there are some 5-star Google rated limo companies here in L.A., including Ride N’ Relax.

Membership with the Greater California Livery Association

Check to see if the limousine company is a member of the Greater California Livery Association (GCLA). According to their website, the GCLA is a statewide 501-c6 non-profit association, comprised of duly licensed member limousine and bus companies.  Members are operators who have an “active” Transportation Charter Permit (TCP) and for larger vehicles, a CDL and DOT certification.  GCLA members are required to carry the legal commercial passenger transport insurance.

Professional Website

Have you ever visited a website that looks like it was done for a high school project? Or does it look like a throwback to the 1990s? You don’t have to be a techie to spot a bad website. Think about it, a website is a business’ most important marketing and communication tool to the world, so if it does not measure up to your expectation, what does that tell you about that business?  Additionally, the online reservation system within the Limo company’s website should be easy-to-use and intuitive. It should also be “mobile-friendly”. Ride n’ Relax has made a significant and ongoing investment in our website because we are committed to providing all of our clients and prospective clients with the best online experience. We strive to provide you information Information you need to make an informed decision!  A convenient and intuitive way to book your reservation online.

Available Fleet of Vehicles

Perhaps you only need a sedan to take you and a loved one from point A to point B. Or perhaps you need to transport a large group of friends, family or business colleagues to a special event. With that in mind, it is important to know that the limousine or private car company you are considering, offers the right vehicle to accommodate your transportation needs.

When you are considering hiring a limo or private car service in the greater Los Angeles or Southern California area, but don’t want the hassle and stress of doing the driving yourself, call Ride n’ Relax at 323-674-9020.
