Getting form place to place quickly and efficiently is the key to success in this bustling, rapid world. If you need to get somewhere in Phoenix, you have several options before of you. Think in terms of why you need the car – business people in Phoenix often choose to hire a vehicle for business purposes. These may include a limo, a sprinter van, even a coach.
Here is a brief overview of the public and private modes of transport open to you in Phoenix.
Bicycles
This is a great transport option. It allows for mobility cars and other big vehicles just do not. You can cut across parks, through squares. It also provides excellent cardio exercise. It is also relatively inexpensive. Still, as a mode of transport for a professional, it leaves much to be desired. For one, a bicycle can only carry one, possibly two people. It is also very dependent on good weather and availability of decent cycling trails. You will be sorely lacking in the baggage department as well.
Public transport
Phoenix’s public transport is lacking, to say the least. During the 1990s, it was regularly on the lists of US cities with the worst public transport. Even though the situation has improved somewhat in the recent years, the buses can often be crowded and not fit your schedule. Having to plan your day’s activities around the arrivals and departures of buses is just frustrating.
Your company’s fleet
If your company is large enough, or wealthy enough, you may have company vehicle or a fleet of vehicles. This is an amazingly useful thing when you need to travel somewhere. It can bear the logo of your company and serve as a mobile advert as well. The downside is the cost. We’re talking insurance, maintenance, fuel, not to mention the initial cost of vehicles. If your company is not in the transport business, the other big downside is that the vehicles are mostly idle, trapping your money in an underused asset.
Your personal car
The preferred method of travel for most Americans, driving has been ubiquitous on our roads for many decades, and it doesn’t appear much will change in the foreseeable future. This mode of transport is ideal for those who need to get places fast and at their own timing and route. In the business world, however, there are some downsides to this transport method. For one, transporting more than five people in one car is illegal, so any bigger party would necessarily consist of multiple vehicles. Also, if you aim to impress your business partners, it may seem somewhat unprofessional to appear in personal cars.
Taxis
Taxis are fairly useful; you call them up, they get you to your destination, you pay them some money and they go on their merry way. However, similarly to the idea of driving your own car, calling a taxi is unpractical if there are more than a few people who need to travel anywhere, with multiple cars being involved. Additionally, the cost of several taxis can mount up to quite a sum.
Hiring a vehicle
Finally, we come to the option which might be optimal for most; renting a vehicle for the specific purpose. It can either be a stretch limo or a sprinter van or even a whole coach if the party is big enough. The advantages of this approach are clear. Regardless of the size of the party you are transporting, there is a hire vehicle for you. A limo for up to 10 people, sprinter vans for up to 14 passengers and coaches for anything above that. In addition, you get uniformity which communicates unity and team spirit to your business partners.
