Limousine vs Taxi in Vancouver: Price or Stress

Let’s evaluate the question of whether to call a limousine vs taxi in Vancouver, it’s an interesting debate. there is no denying that limousines are a luxury service. Very rarely would you be in a situation to have a limousine at your disposal daily, therefore when you do consider hiring a limousine it generally is not taken lightly.

However, generally you will book a taxi an hour or two in advance as there have been too many situations where you book your taxi a day in advance thinking you are being clever only for it to not show up at all, let alone on time.

Unlike a Vancouver limousine, taxi drivers can easily find another fare. The cost for a taxi driver of losing you as a customer has very little financial burden in the long run. A limousine service thrives off customer service by ensuring they are at their destination at least 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

How many times have you been in a taxi and gotten lost. You are expecting the journey to take 15 minutes, but after 20 minutes or so you start to question your driver as he is driving the Vancouver streets at a slow pace trying to find a landmark. You end up looking rude as you turn up late at your destination as well as having to pay more than you expect as the meter keeps ticking while lost. A limousine chauffeur plans his route before he gets to your destination ensuring that the most efficient route is taken. The best option for making sure you get to the YVR Vancouver airport is to call an airport taxi

Sitting in a four person vehicle, with a driver who may be just starting their shift or coming towards the end of a 12 hour shift you will often not feel appreciated by a taxi driver. They are known to have a short fuse and act as if you are not even in the vehicle which is quite the toxic environment to be in.

The above three stress builders are all everyday scenarios in a taxi, there are many more. All of these inconveniences take a toll on you. While hiring a limousine may seem like a luxury service, there are times where you simply just need to get to your Vancouver destination on time, with no hassles. The ease of a limousine in these situations can more than make up for extra cost involved.
