What is the difference between taxi vs. chauffeur service? And when to book one of these two services? In this blog we explain the differences.
There is a fundamental difference between "taxi driver" and "driver". Naturally, both services will take you from A to B and make you feel like a guest. The service provided through the chauffeur service is of high quality compared to the taxi service. You can actually compare the difference with traveling by plane, where you can book an economy class or business class ticket. A business class ticket gives you a completely different experience of a flight compared to an economy plane. It is the same for passenger transport, chauffeur service is the excellent mode of transportation for roads around the world.
A ride with Taxi is a Surprise.
With a taxi ride, there is usually no luxury, personal attention, advance preparation, or label implementation. Taxi driver behavior can be chaotic and unaccustomed to the roads, and the car is often unclean because many passengers have sat in their seats that day.
If you take a taxi regularly, you know that the taxi driver who picks you up decides to try your service. One taxi driver is careful and the other ten minutes or more late. Some taxi drivers say nothing about the whole trip, others share their entire private life, and you can just find a taxi driver in a tracksuit or jeans and a T-shirt from his favorite football club. This is definitely a taboo with chauffeur service.
An overview of the advantages of the taxi service:
- In major cities, it is easy to order a taxi at the last minute by phone or app. This usually arrives within fifteen minutes.
- In the taxi market there are many prices, so that you as a customer can order a taxi at a cheap price.
Ideal for short distances and non-commercial occasions.
In short, if you order a taxi, it will always be a surprise who will arrive. There are, of course, plenty of exceptions where the ride goes smoothly. But with a taxi service, this is not a guarantee and there is a possibility that the service may be substandard.
Disadvantages of taxi service:
- Each trip is a surprise (does the taxi arrive on time, what is the driver's driving behavior, is he polite, does he use the agreed price, etc.),
- A clean car is not guaranteed,
- Do not expect luxury and comfort,
Quantity over quality.
Unreliable for business travelers.

Many companies and businessmen use chauffeur services. They value quality and do not like surprises. CSH regularly receives assignments from companies and organizations that receive a delegation to meet on important (business) matters. This delegation comes to the Netherlands for a quick visit and has to make several appointments in a short period of time. From the first day, it is important that the reception is good and that transportation is well arranged during their stay. Unprofessional driver, lateness and lack of etiquette will not only leave a bad impression, but can negatively affect the meeting or negatively affect the deal

Chauffeur services: familiar and comfortable
Although almost all chauffeur service companies have the same standard, not all companies are the same. There are also differences between chauffeur service companies. They can be found in the type of driver, vehicles, customer service, reservation process, billing process and driver company image. All these items can provide a different experience.
