Is Private Car Hire Any Good? 7 Ways You Can Be Certain

There is an extensive network of transportation in Sydney. People commute to their destination via rail, bus, ferry or cars. Indeed, the car rentals are becoming one of the most popular modes of transportation. But, a skeptical mind surely, wants to investigate and confirm it themselves. As a matter of fact, there are several operators who do not have much reliability in offering car transfer services. For that reason, it is better to find information about them.

Here, one can argue that despite the availability of such an ‘extensive’ network, why would anyone bother about private car hire services. Well, the answer to that is straight and simple. The above modes of transport are not completely dedicated to one person, they will have a scheduled time and run accordingly. However, the private cars can be hired at any time and offers much convenience in driving to the different corners of the city.

The following 7 ways can help you become certain about the private car service offered by different operators:

1. Operator – Is the car service operator a registered one? That will be the question you would like to ask. Obviously, the ones who have proper registration with the concerned authorities can easily reply to these queries and that too with proof.

2. Driver/chauffeur – Passengers always seek professionally trained drivers or chauffeurs with no criminal records for their rides. Hence, you could inquire these facts about the driver from the operator. If they give it, you can get assured about your safety.

3. Vehicles – Instead of the model of vehicle (except in a few cases), people would want to know how the vehicle’s condition is. For an instance, you are heading to the airport and suddenly the vehicle malfunctions, then what would you do? Hence, they should assure that these vehicles are properly maintained and serviced.

4. Booking – How convenient they are in booking via different methods is what you would like to know. Suppose you have to book the private car service, will they accept orders over the phone or do they have any website for bookings? These questions could be answered at their customer care centers.

5. Cancellation – You have an urgent work at another place and you need to cancel the private hire service, then what would you do? Surely, the registered company would have certain booking and cancellation policies. You need to know about them before booking a ride.

6. Tariffs – Ask the private car service operators about their tariff rates and they should give you the proper tariff chart, mentioning the base fare prices, taxes, etc. in a systematic way. If they don’t have any such tariff charts with a clear representation of prices, avoid it.

7. Availability – It is the operator’s responsibility to tell the passenger about their service coverage. At a point of time, if the passenger gets to know that vehicle would not move further over an area, it would be a trouble for them. Thus, you should learn about the availability of the vehicle.
