Houston Limo Services vs Uber and Lyft

"The TNC World Still Needs Limo Service"

In a World of conveniences, there are a few disruptive businesses in the Houston transportation industry these days. But just because you think they are cheaper doesn’t mean a whole lot...beware. There’s no doubt that a ride from a TNC is the way of getting around. According to the company, Uber drivers make more than 2 million rides per day around the world. But a TNC has a few drawbacks. In many cases, a private transportation service company may be a better choice compared to Uber or Lyft. Here are a few reasons why:

Pricing:
Using the fare estimator provided by Uber will give you an estimated price range for your distance; but there are some additional factors that aren’t taken into consideration until you are already in the vehicle. For example, Uber riders have reported noticing sudden price hikes in times when traffic is deemed to be heavy. This means that your estimated price might be way off for the same distance during traffic jams than in times when traffic is freer flowing.  At MK Limousines, our fares don’t change based on the amount of traffic.

Safety:
As surprising as it might sound, personal safety can also be a major concern when using Uber or Lyft. For example, practically anyone can become a driver for these companies which are not too strict.  

What Your Getting:
Uber is not a car company, but a technology company. They do not own vehicles, but software. Thus, they operate in a gray area where they claim they should not be subject to the same regulations as traditional private transportation services.”

In short; the way to stay safe, fair pricing and no surprises is to use a reputable and experienced limousine service like MK Limousines. We can provide you professional, reliable service from limos, party buses and airport transportation in the Houston Metro area.
