FAQs

In between each transfer, chauffeurs thoroughly disinfect vehicles. Chauffeurs have also changed several parts of the typical ride experience. For example, they now greet guests with a slight bow instead of a handshake. They have placed hand sanitizer in vehicles for guests to use and removed newspapers and magazines from seatbacks. Guests also must sit in a back seat to provide a safer distance for both guests and chauffeurs.
We also ask all guests who are showing any symptoms or have tested positive to not make a booking until you receive a doctor’s permission to travel.

Safety of our guests, employees is our top priority. We require any employee who tests positive to inform us immediately.
