Do you know of any other ways to choose a corporate chauffeur other than hiring a dedicated driver?
With a chauffeur-driven hire car (Granace Jumbo Taxi), you can enjoy high-quality transportation only when you need it, without the burden of hiring staff or dealing with labor issues. The cost is based on a fixed fee or a variable fee.
When considering shuttle services for executive cars and company vehicles based on the premise of “employing our own drivers,” a number of hidden costs accumulate, including hiring, salary, social security, waiting time for handovers, and handling unexpected absences.The executive car is a chauffeur-driven shuttle serviceWith that option, you can use a professional driver and a high-quality vehicle only when you need it without having to bear the burden. In this article, we will honestly compare the three options of hiring your own driver, taking taxis on a case-by-case basis, and hiring a chauffeur-driven taxi, and sort out which company is best for you.
The hidden costs of "employing one driver"
We often hear this kind of feedback from those in charge of management planning and general affairs. Do you have any ideas?
Fact #1:Hiring a dedicated driver also incurs labor costs for time when the business is not operating (waiting for customers). The higher the difference between busy and non-busy periods, the less value it provides.
Fact 2:When there is a sudden change in health condition or the driver is absent on leave, they are forced to find a replacement. Being in a single person team carries a high risk.
Fact 3:While taxi services and ride-sharing apps are convenient, they lack the elegance of a car, the tranquility of the interior, and the privacy that you need to transport important guests safely.
Honestly compare the three methods
Rather than being a question of which is correct, the suitability changes based on factors such as frequency of use, status, and confidentiality. Let’s look at them fairly.
| means | company that is a good fit | Things to be careful of |
|---|---|---|
| Employing your own drivers | Dedicated staff is needed every day and for long periods of time. | Fixed burden for hiring, labor management, handling leave requests, and responding to absences. The risk of operating as a one-person team. |
| Taxi and ride-sharing apps on a case-by-case basis | One-off and short-distance travel | It is impossible to tell the car's status, the quality of the interior, or the level of confidentiality. It is difficult to get hold of them during peak periods. |
| Hyrd with a driver (our company) | I want to use high-quality transportation only when necessary | Pre-booking is required (you cannot ride on the flow). |
“While it’s not always full-time operation, when dealing with guests or when executives travel, I want to use a ”proper car and driver”—in such a company, it makes sense to use a chauffeur-driven hire car only as much as is necessary.”
Reasons why chauffeur-driven hire cars are chosen
From fixed costs to variable costs
Only pay for what you use. The more fluctuations in operations a company has, the easier it is to calculate the costs compared to employing a dedicated employee.
Safe operation of professional drivers
Drivers with a second-class license provide transportation under operational management. This eliminates the need to handle hiring, training, and labor matters in-house.
High-quality interior and attention to privacy
With high-quality vehicles such as the GranAce, you can make phone calls and check documents while traveling. This also takes into account the impression of your guests.
Flexibility in arranging
You can request spot services only when needed, such as executive transportation, welcoming guests, inspections, and ceremonies.
The honest truth is that there are cases where it doesn’t work:If you want to have a dedicated official for a specific role on a daily basis or for long periods of time, you can hire a spot instead.Chauffeur DispatchSometimes contracting for operations management is a better option. We will offer suggestions based on how it is used, so please let us know the situation first.
