When it comes to organising private transport for your next trip to Ireland, you’ll be faced with two main options – hiring a car and using a chauffeur service. Whilst having a rental car does have its merits for some people, using a chauffeur service in Ireland is perfectly suited to business travellers that want a more stress-free, reliable and stylish way of getting around.

If you’re torn between the two choices, the following are four reasons to consider hiring a chauffeur instead of a rental car on your next trip:

Convenience

Whether you’re travelling for leisure or for business in Ireland, you’re most likely looking for a convenient way to get to where you need to go. Hiring a chauffeur service most definitely trumps renting a car when it comes to convenience.

You won’t have to worry about making your way to a rental car booth if you’re arriving by air as your chauffeur will be waiting for you when you come through arrivals. This is especially beneficial for business travellers as they don’t have to waste valuable time when it could be spent freshening up for their next conference or business meeting.

Image

If image is important to you, hiring an executive chauffeur is always the best choice. The majority of rental car companies don’t have the same kind of high-end luxury vehicles that’s required to give off the best perception.

Your chauffeur-driven car will be a high spec luxurious model that’s spotlessly clean on both the interior and the exterior. If you’re on business, there is no better way to transmit a message of importance and authority to your associates.

Everyone will know that you’re serious about your business if you show up to meetings in a chauffeur driven car, so much more than if you were to arrive in a rented Toyota.

Time Efficient

You’ll be essentially on your own if you choose to hire a rental car and despite having a sat nav to guide you, the streets you’ll be travelling on will be unfamiliar. This can lead to missing turns, lost time and unnecessary stress, which is especially disastrous for those on a tight schedule.

Hiring a chauffeur will ensure that you maximise every minute of your time in Ireland. You won’t have to worry about taking wrong turns and missing meetings or being late for a business lunch. Your driver will be very familiar with all routes and he/she will get you to where you need to go on time, every time.

Tour Guides

You might be in town for business but Ireland is such a beautiful country that it won’t hurt to do a bit of sightseeing whilst you’re there. One of the best things about hiring a good executive chauffeur service is that your driver will also double as your own personal tour guide.

He/she will be local so you’ll get all the insider info on the best restaurants, bars, galleries, museums and other places of interest to enjoy while you’re in town. Your diver can also share some local knowledge with you when you’re relaxing in the back of the car between meetings and conferences, if that’s something you’d enjoy.
