Are Pre-Booked Shuttles Cheaper Than Uber Vouchers for Holiday Events?

Car Service

A pre-booked holiday shuttle service for your corporate event might be more economical than offering Uber vouchers or reimbursements to your staff. Private transportation ensures a fixed rate and is safer and more dependable.

Here’s why you should consider a dedicated corporate shuttle for your holiday event on Long Island or in NYC.

 

The Cost Factor: Are Corporate Shuttles Cheaper Than Rideshares

Private corporate event shuttles are often cheaper than rideshares thanks to pre-booking and fixed rates.

  • Uber severely limits users by waiting until the actual booking before setting a rate. The rate is determined by the travel distance, time of day, location, and demand.
  • Uber applies a method called “Surge Pricing” to hike their rates during periods of high demand. This is extremely likely during the holiday season.
  • For a corporate event, services like Uber are unpredictable and potentially costly. Surge Pricing could dramatically inflate your costs if you plan to reimburse staff who use Uber for rides from your corporate event venue.

You may have considered offering vouchers to your staff. Corporate Uber vouchers would likely only cover a portion of the trip if your staff were to book a ride from a holiday event venue in NYC to Suffolk County (or anywhere else on Long Island).

It’s not an exaggeration to say that arranging transportation through a rideshare company is a logistical nightmare for holiday events.

  • A pre-booked private shuttle service guarantees availability for your event.
  • Rates are fixed at the time of booking and include tolls and base gratuity.

North Country Limousine is a trusted private transportation provider operating out of Suffolk County. We are the premier choice for corporate event transportation on Long Island and in NYC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where Will a Private Shuttle Service Drop My Team Members?

We offer pick-up and drop-off for holiday events at specified locations (your choice). For example, we could start from your business location in Suffolk County and then drop your team at an event address in NYC. If you choose a round-trip option, we will take everyone back from NYC to Suffolk County at a designated time after the event. You could also choose several pick-up and drop-off locations based on your needs. You have the freedom to customize the service when you choose a trusted holiday event transportation service.

Is it Safer to Choose Private Holiday Event Transportation in Suffolk County?

Yes, it’s generally safer to book a private transportation service for holiday events. It is especially recommended to provide company-paid transportation for employees who may have consumed alcohol.
