Except for last-minute decisions and quick trips home from a restaurant, the benefits of using a professional car service heavily outweighs ride-share services like Uber and Lyft. For occasions like corporate events, travel to and from the airport, concerts and other special occasions, professional car services are safer, the drivers are more professional and reliable, and the pricing is more consistent and transparent.

Safety
Ride-share companies are not regulated so many do not undergo thorough background checks like those conducted by a professional car service. In fact, the drivers are often just looking to make a bit of extra money on the side. They operate as independent contractors, rather than employees, so the vetting process is typically nowhere near as stringent as that of professional car service providers. Most professional car services, like A&A Metro Transportation, complete pre-employment drug screening as well as checking past drug and alcohol records. During the hiring process, CORI checks are conducted through the Department of Criminal Justice and SORI checks are performed through the U.S. Department of Justice which scans the National Sex Offender list. A&A Metro’s Safety and Training Manager, Sahviana Katura, with approximately 30 years of experience, conducts an extensive training class. In addition, all drivers are trained in CPR and First Aid.

Professionalism & Comfort
Since ride-share drivers are independent contractors, they do not receive the level of training that a reputable car service does. At A&A Metro, all Black Car Drivers complete a Chauffeur Training Class that provides the skills and knowledge needed to always be prepared and provide customers the best, professional experience possible. Whether for personal, leisure or business, guests will always ride in comfort never feeling like they’re in someone else’s personal vehicle.

Reliability
When you have an important meeting or an event you want to be on time for, don’t leave anything to chance. Hiring a professional driver with a well-maintained vehicle can make all the difference when you need a service that you can depend on. The knowledge of having reliable transportation will be less stressful and the experience will be much more enjoyable for everyone. If you are attending a sporting event or concert at a popular venue, you don’t want to compete for vehicles since the demand will be so high. Price surges are also a well-known issue with ride-share apps that occur during peak times. During surge periods rates are increased forcing riders to pay more than they had planned.
