Airport Limousine and Taxi Services has been the traditional way of getting a ride to and from the Airport.

Ride share on the hand is a new phenomena that has entrapped many riders and drivers alike. With a click of a button you are able to order a ride and get going on your way. Although this sounds great, rest assure that it isn’t any greater than simply picking up the phone the day before your travel and making a quick conversation with an Airport limo company or filling out an online booking form to get a ride scheduling confirmation.

The Biggest difference is that when you click that button to order a ride, your a giving away a large percentage of your fare to the app developers, a good 25-35% of the fare is taken away from the drivers and pocketed by the app developers. Hence the driver is left with much less and has to work much harder and spend alot more time on the road to make ends meet. It can reasonably be said that the more time a driver spends on the road, the more likely he/she is fatigued and hence less likely that she can provide the level of service that Airport limo drivers provide.
