MANNERS WHICH MATTER: - Etiquette Rules to Know When Taking Luxury Cabs

For any prestigious event or upscale social gathering, hiring a luxury cab helps alleviate travelling stress and allows you to kick back and travel; like a celebrity. However, just because such luxury transfer services are readily available to book anytime and from anywhere, it doesn’t mean every passenger who boards it knows how to act or behave when travelling in one.

A bit of politeness and civil behaviour can make a huge difference in allowing the chauffeur to provide you with a deluxe and smooth trip. To educate you further, here are a few etiquette rules to follow whenever taking luxury cabs in any part of Melbourne.

Follow closely!

Always Show Respect to Your Chauffeur: -

It goes without saying that you should always be polite to your assigned chauffeur. By being on the receiving end of your cordial behaviour; the chauffeur will go an extra mile to ensure you travel like a king.

Also skip suggesting your operator to perform unethical acts like over-speeding, taking unsafe routes or pestering them with ridiculous suggestions. Just sit back and allow these operators to perform their job in peace. Trust their experience and training to deliver you top-quality luxury transfers and take you to your intended destination safely and on-time.

Don’t forget that your luxury cab chauffeur is also a human like you and picking away at his brain will only make him agitated (even though he won’t show it). Let him do what he is sent to do and enjoy the ride either by listening to music, or browsing through magazines which are usually present inside such luxury cars.

Be Aware Of How You Should Enter & Exit: -

It’s a no brainer, but surprisingly many passengers (especially 1st timers) may not know how to get in/out of their hired luxury cars. The right way is to let the driver open the door for you to enter. As you get in; settle down properly (not roughly), and on reaching your destination; wait for the driver to open the door.

Always Treat Your Luxury Cab Better: -

It is understandable to get overexcited whenever you get into a luxury car- like say an Audi A8 model or Mercedes- C class vehicle. These vehicles are feature-laden with all the latest driver-assist and safety specs to ensure your transfers are smooth and luxurious.

Refrain from damaging anything inside the cab. If you need anything, tell the driver. Remember that such taxis are for rental purposes and damages caused to it may result in you having to bear the repair expenses.

Adopt A Good Habit Of Tipping The Driver:-

If you are happy with your ride experience, always show gratitude to the driver by tipping him with cash. 20-25 % of the bill for starters, is a standard tip. This also makes the driver feel good for his hard work and courteous service.

So, adopt this culture of tipping your driver for his diligence, especially when you know deep down that he deserves every bit of it.

Look to follow these etiquette rules whenever you ride a Luxury Taxi for your customised trips in Melbourne. Who knows, you might become the driver’s favourite passenger, and if coincidently he is assigned for your ride again, he will serve you even better.
