Mercedes S550 | Luxury Ride | NYC

What's it like riding in a S Class?

THE MERCEDES S550 IS THE MODEL FOR LUXURY TRANSPORTATION. FURTHERMORE, IT IS ALSO THE FLAGSHIP MODEL OF LUXURY RIDE 'S FLEET; ALWAYS CRUISING AROUND NYC.

 

AS A RESULT, WE WANT TO TRY AND SHARE WITH YOU WHAT IT IS LIKE RIDING IN LUXURY.

 

First of all, the S-class line has always been synonymous with luxury. And it continues that proud tradition. The rear-wheel-drive sedan comes standard with a 449-hp 4.7-liter twin-turbo V-8. All-wheel drive is optional. The sleek coupe has the V-8 and all-wheel drive. Especially relevant, this vehicle is quite nimble for it's size. A rear-drive cabriolet is available with the same engine. Luxury Ride just loves the Mercedes S550.

 REPERTOIRE

The Mercedes S550 speaks for itself. Look over your shoulder next time in NYC. And you will see many S-Classes riding around the Straight & Narrow. The sleek, glimmering vehicle has always emanated luxury and sophistication. There is something about the quiet hum of the engine, and the classic Mercedes symbol pulling up to a pickup that

says ,"I know what I'm doing. Do you?" Therefore, when we have High Value Clients considering using Luxury Ride as a vendor, we assure them we have the luxury go-to: Mercedes S550.

Many people, regardless of occupation and goals, enjoy not necessarily BEING Luxury, but FEELING Luxury. When you take a ride for your business meeting in the Upper East Side, would you rather pull up in a Mercedes S550, or a Toyota? Many of our goals are shaped around upholding a certain reputation and image. What kind of impact do YOU want to leave on associates and colleagues? When people want to be taken seriously, they ride a S Class. If people just want a ride, they call Uber.

COMFORT & EFFICIENCY

It is important, while traveling, to be comfortable. Regardless of why you are traveling, it is important to be organized. The Mercedes S550 provides comfort for any situation. Furthermore, the comfort is felt within and without the vehicle. As soon as you see the smooth black roll up to your location, there will be a feeling of relieve that overcomes you. And as you step into your ride, you will feel a sense of accomplishment take over. And ease knowing that you have the room and tools to recharge for your drop off.

 


 

THEY SAY ALLITERATION IS THE KEY TO GREAT MARKETING.

 

RELIABLE, RENEWED, AND REPUTABLE.

 

THREE WORDS THAT ASPIRE TO CAPTURE THE TRUE ESSENCE OF A TRUE LUXURY RIDE.

Dry Run: Major Keys to Event Transport Success, Vol. #1

A "Dry Run" is one of the most POWERFUL and Productive preps you can do to ensure your Event Transport in NYC is a Success.

 

A "Dry Run" can be done without the Full Fleet of cars that have been booked for the Event Transport. However, we do suggest doing the Run with a few "Event Captains" that will assist the other drivers on Event Day.

 

We suggest doing the Run 72 to 48 hours before Event Day to keep things fresh and accurate. Things change quickly in big cities like NYC. Consequently, the last thing you want is to have expired guidelines.

 

Try to do a Run even if its not in the budget. We suggest doing a Run with at least ONE vehicle so you can get a "feel" of the Event Route.

 


 

A DRY RUN WILL HELP YOUR LEADERS AND DRIVERS BE IN SYNC

During an event, it is CRUCIAL that all vendors are ON THE SAME PAGE. A "Dry Run" is practically a run through of the event before the actual event. This way, all participants can ask questions and clarify any details that seemed vague. And we all know how events get in NYC. There's no time for questions.

A DRY RUN GIVES DRIVERS AN IDEA OF THE OPTIMAL ROUTES

If you give yourselves ample time, you could set up a Dry Run on or near Site a few days before hand. This way, the drivers & Captains can scope out the area and figure out the fastest route for drivers to take; to and from the event.

 

A DRY RUN ULTIMATELY TRANSLATES TO A HAPPY CLIENT

In the Service Industry, the customer comes first. Doing some practice like a Dry Run will assure you are air tight for this event. When you and your team are ready, it will show. The client will be able to pick up right away that they chose the right Event Transport, among so many in NYC.

 


 

All of your chauffeurs will be looking to YOU, the Event Captain, for guidance and direction. Completing a "Dry Run"

gives you the confidence of knowing the best ROUTE and PLAN possible. Furthermore, use this knowledge to plan Event Transport and results will be infectious. A client is able to feel when they are good hands. Once you cement that feeling, what could go wrong?

If you have anything else you would like to ask us that we missed in our list, feel free to reach out!


 

Q) If I am waiting for my driver to arrive because he running late (traffic, accident, etc.), am I charged for my waiting time?

A) No. Such a case...our paid service to you begins as soon as you get into our car.

 

Q) If I keep my driver waiting, will I be billed for his or her waiting time?

Q) How will I know if my car has arrived? How will I be able to find them once I'm outside?

A) We use cutting-edge technology to keep our clients updated. You will be notified when your Luxury Limo is on the way to you and when the driver has arrived. You will be notified by Text & Email. When you receive the notification, you will receive a picture of your driver, their name, and their phone number - so you can contact your driver directly.

Per request, your driver can be waiting for you outside his or her vehicle with a sign with YOUR name on it! (Already included for airport pickups).

Q) How do I handle payment? Do I have to pay the driver? What about a tip?

A) Just call our office [(888)-774-4847], speak to our wonderful Dispatcher and let them know what you want, and we will take it from there. Everything is seamless and handled prior to the ride. When we quote a client a price, it is the FINAL, true price. It includes gratuity. So this means our passenger does not need to handle payment with the driver, it is taken care of before hand through our office and booking procedure.

 

Q) What if I miss my reservation? (Sickness, overtime work, delayed/cancelled flight, etc.)

A) For most trips, we require a 12 hour notice. On specialty vehicles (such as our buses), we require a 48 hour notice. For situations that are out of our client's control, we will assess the situation and work together to rectify it.

Luxury | Car Service | Chauffeur | Luxury Ride | JFK EWR LaGuardia

What's the Difference Between a "Driver" & a "Chauffeur"?

IT IS NO SECRET;

 

A LUXURY CAR SERVICE COSTS MORE THAN A NORMAL DRIVER. HERE IN NYC, A CHAUFFEUR IS WORTH MORE THAN A DRIVER.

 

AT LUXURY RIDE, WE PROVIDE AN EXPERIENCE, NOT JUST A CAR RIDE.

 

SO WHAT IS THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "CHAUFFEUR" AND THE OTHER DRIVERS?

 


 

EXPERIENCE

 

First of all, EXPERIENCE is a major key. Luxury Ride has spent time looking for our "Model" Chauffeur. We do not rush hiring - we want to make sure the Chauffeur we are enlisting is experienced. Especially relevant in NYC, it is important that your vendor knows the ins-and-outs. Knows where to go, generally, without having to GPS. Knowing backroads and alternate routes faster than the Navigational System. Knowing how to treat a passenger.

 

Consequently, our quarrel with taxis and companies such as Uber is that; probably, anyone can become a driver. Our man Tony who worked five years in the Finance Department of a big Corporation decided he wants to drive people for Uber or another car service in NYC. And just because he has a degree from a fancy college with a pampered resume DOES NOT mean he knows how to take care of important passengers.

 

TRAINING

 

Much as what we were just saying, the fact that a driver can become part of the market in a matter of two weeks or less should show the minimal skill. Therefore, our experience provided to passengers is built upon our TRAINED Chauffeurs. All of our Chauffeurs, regardless of experience, go through Luxury Ride training upon hiring. Especially relevant in NYC, it is important our representatives are prepared for any task.

 

The just-hired Chauffeur was hired by us because we know that they have the baseline traits of a Luxury Driver. As a result, we then work with our Chauffeurs to detail the Luxury Ride Image we wish them to portray to each and every passenger. No ride at Luxury Ride is ever the same. We made sure of that while crafting our training!

 

REPUTATION

 

Most of all, the concept of Chauffeur puts forth the concept Luxury and Upper Class. A driver is someone who can drive you to your

Luxury | Car Service | Chauffeur | Luxury Ride
http://therideshareguy.com/my-rating-system-for-uber-and-lyft-passengers/

destination. No matter where the Chauffeur comes from, the passenger will know the difference upon booking. Furthermore, The reputation behind a Chauffeur is not easily acquired. Many a car service will let a driver just get behind the wheel, while a Chauffeur must earn their title.

 

IMAGE

 

Most noteworthy, The reputation of a Chauffeur is Luxury. If you book one, how does that look for you? As a result, their reputation of Luxury turns into your Image of the same. Furthermore, showing your associates that looks do indeed matter is important. Trust us; there will be a difference, overall, when you are dropped off at your Noon meeting on in NYC Madison Ave by our Luxury-suited Chauffeur in a

Luxury | Car Service | Chauffeur | Luxury Ride
Luxury | Car Service | Chauffeur | Luxury Ride

crisp Mercedes S550 - as opposed to Tom, from the no-name Car Service, dropping you off in his Nissan Sentra. Finally, five minutes late.

 

Therefore, maybe not much needs to be said on this aspect; but in conclusion, the fact that a Luxury Driver is in a suit, and another driver, from the no-name car service, is in cargo shorts, SAYS ENOUGH.

 

BUT WHAT DO I KNOW? BOOK A RIDE, SEE THE DIFFERENCE FOR YOURSELF. WE'LL BE WAITING BY THE PHONE FOR YOU!

Why Book Luxury Transportation Instead of Driving Yourself?

LUXURY TRANSPORTATION | NYC | NJ

FOUR WORDS HAVE NEVER MATCHED SO WELL.

 

If you're from NYC / NJ , you know what it is like in the Morning going to work. Or the airport. Or to the shore. Or going anywhere. The Parkway, the Turnpike, I-95, the Bridges, the Airports...

 

They all equal 1 one thing...TRAFFIC!!!

 

Also some people like to drive themselves, I know a few people. Yet we can all agree that the majority of people driving on the roads should most likely not be driving. Finally, that's why there is Luxury Ride USA.

 

HERE'S 4 REASONS WHY BOOKING A LUXURY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE IS RIGHT FOR YOU!


 

SCHEDULE

 

First of all, the most obvious reason why a Luxury Transportation service is a good call is because of busy schedules. While work can get very real, those extra thirty minutes during your car ride may be more well spent in the back seat typing up that last report! Therefore, we believe firmly in not being distracted while you drive - so let us drive.

 

CONVENIENCE

NYC

In addition to Schedule, Convenience is a close-second. And I want YOU to show me the legend who actually likes dealing with traffic and rushing - because I am 99% sure he or she does not exist. Traffic is known to bring out the

worst in people, even the holiest of men. Most noteworthy, Luxury Ride USA wants you to be the best you can be - and we want to help anyway we can!

NJ

IMAGE

 

Especially relevant, if there is one thing that supports our foundation of business - it is image. Image is defined as a noun that is "a representation of the external form of a person or a thing in art". Furthermore, if you are a player in the business world or hospitality industry, then you understand that it does, indeed, matter what people think. Your work is a big deal. Therefore, it is important to treat your work with the respect and attention it deserves.

 

LUXURY

 

In conclusion, I think we can all agree that the most important reason is an adjective in our company name: luxury. It is a humble thing when things are done for you. Life takes you all kinds of place that may stress you out, cause you trouble, overwhelm you. But no matter what it is, we overcome. As a result, taking a load off and relaxing every now and again is part of that process. Life can get wild, there's no reason why your ride should be.
