Executive car hires have been around since the early days of the automobile and even before that when vehicles were steam powered. The word chauffeur came from a French phrase for the term stoker which was what one had to do to start and power a steam driven vehicle.
In modern days, the term is still used as the driver of a hired vehicle, however the driver doesn’t have to stoke the fire of the vehicle anymore as much as he has to simply turn a key to be on his way. Now days, the job of the chauffeur is much more streamlined enabling them to focus more on their passengers’ comfort and getting them to their destination on time.
People hire an executive car for many reasons with weddings taking the number one spot followed by birthdays, hen and stag parties, high profile galas and a wide range of special events. If you want to make an impression, you hire a chauffeur driven luxury car and ride in style.
For business travellers, an executive car can offer airport transfer service, flight pick up and drop off services and the ability to leave their own cars at home and leave the driving to someone else. They can even get work done on the way to the airport or train station and anyone who has driven through London’s busy streets can appreciate the confidence of an experienced chauffeur.
Today’s modern version of the chauffeur driven coach comes complete with Wi-Fi, heated and cooled seats, panoramic views and seating for up to 20 people. That is a long way from the loud, steam driven cars of the late 1800’s. The one thing that remains the same after all of these years is the level of service and dedication that a chauffeur exhibits. A good chauffeur knows the area and can point out some hot spots that his passengers might want to check out during their trip.
Today, a luxury car hire is not just an indulgence or a surprise for some special occasion. It can well be a business resource for you that you can use any time on your way to work, at work or even after work on your way home. Why not travel in style and comfort?
