Taxi or rental: which is more profitable?

When planning a vacation, a business trip to an unfamiliar city, most people think over the options for movement. At the same time, the use of public transport on an ongoing basis is practically not considered due to its slowness and unpredictability. In addition, as practice shows, it is almost impossible to get a minibus to the most interesting locations or quickly solve several problems by traveling by bus. Fortunately, in every city of Ukraine there are many taxi services, and in large ones there are also offices of rental companies.

If you are not in a hurry, not burdened with family, daily worries or lack of funds, city transport becomes the only way out of the situation. In any other cases, it is much more comfortable, faster and more profitable to use another means of transportation: call a taxi or rent a car, picking up a company, car rental conditions in which you are satisfied.

Who ordered a taxi to Dubrovka?

According to statistics, most often the services of taxi drivers are used by people who need to quickly get to their destination. As a rule, these are one-time trips when there is no need to plan a route. While in the passenger seat, you can relax, not follow the traffic situation and signs, look through documents, talk on the phone or with fellow travelers, prepare for an important meeting or go sightseeing. It is worth using this particular type of transport in the following cases:

• affordable cost of the trip;
• fast car order;
• you do not have a driver's license;
• group trips, when the amount is divided by all passengers;
• lack of knowledge of the terrain and / or traffic patterns.

However, with all its advantages, this service has certain inconveniences. For example, while at a train station in a foreign city, you call a car and suddenly find that:

• right now there are no free cars, because it is rush hour;
• the car left, but the driver forgot / mixed up the place, the car stopped much further and you have to carry things in the heat, in the pouring rain or snow (lead the children);
• no child car seat, no air conditioner, there is a persistent smell of cigarettes in the cabin;
• a vehicle that did not meet the requirements arrived at the call, although you warned and discussed this moment in advance;
• the driver, for various reasons, does not agree to change the route or deliberately increases the mileage (especially important for tourist places);
• driving style or manners, the appearance of the taxi driver leaves, to put it mildly, much to be desired.

All this together can spoil the mood for a long time, pretty frayed on your nerves and make you take a closer look at such car rental services as NarsCars.Wherever
I want, there I go

A feature of vehicle rental is the variety of options and additional options provided to the client. For example, a rented car will allow you to travel with your family or company to the countryside, meet business partners, effectively and quickly solve daily tasks. The only prerequisite for using the service is that the lessee has a driver's license (at least 2 years of driving experience), a passport (over 22 years old) and a TIN (for citizens of Ukraine). In all other respects, you are absolutely free and independently choose:

• the lessor company;
• class, make and model of the vehicle, as well as color, body type, engine size, usual gearbox;
• the amount of expenses (renting an economy class car in most companies will cost quite inexpensively);
• form of payment;
• additional services if necessary.

A lot of both Ukrainian and foreign companies offer services of short-term or long-term rental of cars that are in excellent technical condition. Large representatives of the rental business have their own sites on the Internet, where you can safely choose and book a suitable vehicle in advance and receive pleasant bonuses for this. NarsCars, for example, when booking through the website, gives a discount of up to 15% of the daily cost of a car. It is beneficial to use a rented car because:

• you are completely free to plan your own route, changing it as you wish at least every minute. Only such an option as car rental in Lviv will give you the opportunity to properly explore all the streets of this ancient city;

• no need to worry about repair and maintenance;
• it is enough to pay a little extra for an unlimited package and you can move around even all day long;
• you can leave your own things in the salon and not worry about their safety;
• together with you in the salon only close people and no strangers.

For those who doubt their own driving talents, do not know the city at all, or simply do not want to be distracted, rental companies offer to order a car with an experienced driver. Now this is a completely simple and accessible service for a wide range of clients, for which you need:

• have with you the documents listed above;
