The end-of-year season is approaching. Many of you are probably starting to make plans for end-of-year parties with your company or friends. After the party, you may want to think in advance about a safe way to get home. We recommend,Hourly chartered “9-seater jumbo taxis”.”The benefits of this service are greater than calling for a separate taxi. The benefits are greater than hailing a separate taxi, and it eliminates the worries of "it's a bit of a hassle to get home" and "I'm not sure if I can catch a taxi" with a gusto.
Why should 'jumbo taxis that can take up to nine passengers on a timed basis'?
- Up to 9 passengers in one vehicle. With a regular taxi, four or five people can fill up... but with a jumbo taxi, all your friends can ride together. Up to nine people can ride at once.
- More cost and hassle efficient than hailing a separate taxi For example, if two or three taxis are called, the burden of dispatching, waiting and charging doubles. But if you have one taxi, there is less worry about 'who pays where', 'who pays where', and 'who pays separately in the car'.
- 'Time-based charter' makes rates more predictable. With general taxi fares, which vary according to distance, there is the worry of 'what if I get stuck in traffic' or 'what if I use the motorway'. On the other hand, with a time-based plan, the fare is fixed on a "zero hour" basis, providing peace of mind. For example, the approximate charter fare for a jumbo taxi hourly in Saitama Prefecture/Tokyo/Saitama area is approximately 11,670 yen and up for two hours (specific large-sized taxi, Saitama area).
- Eliminate late night returns at the end of the year when it becomes difficult to allocate vehicles. During the year-end party season, it can be difficult to catch a taxi at certain times of the day. It can also be difficult to enjoy the party because of the time pressure of "I have to go home soon!". and you may not be able to relax and enjoy the party. With a pre-arranged charter service, you can be assured of a safe return journey.
Examples of specific charges and notes in Saitama and Kanto
- One company in Saitama Prefecture offers rates as follows: 'Jumbo taxi (9-seater) Hourly fare: 1.0 hour 8,120 yen, 1.5 hours 12,180 yen, 2.0 hours 16,240 yen...'.
- In addition, data from the Tokyo/Saitama hourly charter fee model shows that "22,820 yen for three hours (Tokyo specific large scale) and 17,310 yen for three hours (Saitama area)".
- However, 'motorway and parking charges' may be charged separately to the hourly charter fee. Example: this service states that "Expressway and parking fees are actual costs".
- Late nights and early mornings (e.g. 10pm-5am) may incur a surcharge. Check when booking. (Our company, JumbotTaxy.com, does not charge a time surcharge or a surcharge depending on the type of vehicle).
Why this plan is 'especially recommended' for returning from a year-end party
- If several people are split up from the venue to the station or from the station to their homes, they tend to use several taxis and have to wait. With a jumbo taxi, you can pick up and drop off all your friends at once.
- You can enjoy the aftermath of the conversation directly in the car. Separate trips tend to be 'split up and get on', but if you travel together, you can talk about things like 'What are you going to do after this?' and so on.
- Even late at night, when public transport options are reduced, it is mentally easier just to have a 'reserved car'.
- With an hourly plan, it is easy to foresee "how much the taxi fare will be on the way home", so there is less chance of accounting problems and later billing disputes.
Points to consider when using the system & checklist for booking
- Book early.: At the end of the year, reservations tend to be concentrated and vehicles are filled up. Tell them your desired date, time, departure and destination as soon as possible.
- Clear time & number of units.: It is helpful to tell them how many hours you are chartering, what time you are departing from, and what time you expect to return.
- Also inform them of the number of people and their luggage.: The vehicle is capable of carrying 9 passengers, but if the number of passengers is 8-9, check the luggage and number of passengers in advance.
- Check cost sharing for highways, parking, etc.: check whether it is included in the price or charged separately.
- Confirmation of surcharge for late night and early morning use.If you are travelling late at night, e.g. after 22:00, check if there are any surcharges. (Our company, JumbotTaxy.com, does not offer a time surcharge or a surcharge depending on the type of vehicle).
- Consultation on one-way or round-trip: If you want to "go straight home" after the year-end party, you can do it one way, but if you want to stop at another destination on the way, consult with us as the time will vary.
- The rides are in good company.: It is advisable to avoid sharing rides with strangers and to charter only with like-minded people.
We have a track record of routes like this.
For example, we have experience with jumbo taxis on routes in Saitama Prefecture that depart from Omiya-ku, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture and travel to the suburbs via multiple points, such as "Kawagoe → Higashimatsuyama → Kumagaya → Isesaki → Ashikaga" (chartered and chartered form). Even on such long distances and multiple routes, the time-based plan provides peace of mind.
Assumed scene of return on the day of the year-end party & image of its use.
At the end of a year-end party, it's "time to go home" time. You arrange a taxi on your phone... but there aren't enough, you have to wait, or you have to take the long way around to pick up someone in a different direction... do you worry about this?
So, if you make a reservation for "20:30 departure from XX station, 9-seater jumbo taxi, chartered until around 22:00",
- Door-to-door from the venue of the year-end party or banquet to each individual's home.
- Talk about the launch and make plans for the next one in the car.
- Luggage can be packed together and secure.
- Go directly home without any worries. The ideal way home: no traffic jams or public transport delays on the way home.
