You are in charge of arranging for group travel for your company and you are wondering how they will get to their hotels once they arrive at Stansted airport. If they will not be leasing cars the best and cheapest way to go is to hire taxis for them. You have to be careful though – there are many taxi companies in the city and if you are not careful what could have been a pleasant trip can turn into an ugly one. Start by looking online to see which taxi companies get the most positive reviews. Do not assume that the ones that show up in the first few links of search results are good; it just means that they are great at marketing. You should instead be looking into reviews from real people. You can ask the company to send you two or three references of other companies that they have transported from the airport.
You should also look into whether they will be available at the time of arrival. There are some that do not operate at night and this can lead to huge inconveniences. Book with a company that operates 24 hours a day. Find out whether they are also available to drive your colleagues around the city during their stay. The taxis that you book should be clean and well maintained.
Use a taxi company that has careful and well trained drivers – the last thing you want is for your colleagues to be involved in an accident. The drivers should also be knowledgeable about the city so that they can use alternative routes and shortcuts when necessary. They should be able to provide basic information that first-time visitors need. Each driver should have undergone a background check to ensure that they are safe to ride with.
Lastly, since you will be booking multiple vehicles do not forget to ask for a discount – the best companies are happy to give them for people who book more than one or two cars. One such company is Style Taxis. They have a large fleet of taxis and they are available for airport pickups 24 hours a day. All their drivers are very professional and you can be sure that they will get your guests to their destinations on time. They also charge very fair prices – you can find out how much you will be paying by using the fare counter on their website, http://styletaxis.com/.
