Meeting Your Driver
5 Star Transportation Service SeaTac Airport arrival pick-up
why choose a chauffered limousine service?
Why should you choose a chauffeured black car limousine service you ask? It’s simple; nothing else can rival the safety, security, comfort, luxury, & overall experience of choosing a reputable black town car & airport limousine service. There’s a reason VIP’s, celebrities, professional athletes, dignitaries, & Corporate Executives & personnel all choose this method of transport at all times, but you don’t have to be one of them or spend a fortune for the same unequaled superior experience. Here are some reasons why:
Unlike other options & services, our company & drivers are fully licensed, insured, vetted & screened with full fingerprinted background checks, & WA State mandated drug tests (unlike or Uber or Lyft drivers who are not required to do the same screenings or even receive full criminal civil background checks, but just a consumer credit report)
No need to deal with the congestion & headache of the taxi or TNC lines & waiting areas, where waiting times can be as high as 30 minutes just to get a car or find your driver, many times longer than the trip to your destination itself.
Steady constant upfront transparent pricing, not Overinflated app-based ride-share TNC (Uber & Lyft) prices (as high as $120 without gratuity to downtown Seattle in a private economy car, $60 for just 1 car seat in an economy car, or $200 in a moderately luxurious vehicle) rates to deal with & question later without any recourse with real customer service or accountability from the company. These rates are as high as DOUBLE what they advertise to passengers elsewhere, taking advantage of high passenger demand at the Airport to GOUGE the consumer grossly.
Thoroughly inspected, maintained, repaired, & updated vehicle fleet’s which are newer, larger & more comfortable, with more amenities & options (bottled water, local site brochures, newspapers, tissues, & any other items so desired by passengers) which provides an unrivaled experience to that of a taxi, Uber, Lyft, shuttle, or a coach bus.
Guaranteed safety with drivers who are professionally licensed & trained to ensure the safety, security, & comfort of passengers at all times, in all traffic & weather conditions, & who place your safety & comfort as the top priority, rather than rushing for more fares & shorter trip times. As has been reported by passengers from Seatac Airport & others around the Country, the same cannot be said of TNC (Uber & Lyft) rides.
Always guaranteed to easily find your assigned driver & vehicle & be identified with signage including your party’s name during a Meet & Greet pickup. Or, easy communication beforehand via phone with a real human being to ensure your driver meets you curbside promptly & conveniently. Meanwhile, Taxi & TNC (Uber & Lyft) pickups require you to take an elevator up one floor, take the skybridge across the Airport lanes, go back down an elevator yet again, & then walk all the way into the Ground Transportation area, with TNC’s all the way in the rear of the parking garage. Save yourself the time and effort, especially for those with children or elderly loved-ones, & choose an easy curb-side pickup, or an assisted Meet & Greet pickup to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience.
Guaranteed to be able to fit all your passengers & luggage completely in your vehicle comfortably, with the appropriately selected vehicle which will accommodate your party & luggage properly. Precisely why we ask for full reservation details such as passenger & luggage totals & types (checked bags, carry-on’s, handbags, etc..).

MEETING YOUR DRIVER
There are 2 options for meeting your driver. Depending on traffic into the Airport at your arrival time, or if you want assistance with baggage, we can...
Meet & Greet: Meet you inside the main Airport terminal at your arrival area on the baggage claim carousel level (3). We will either call or text you (or the passengers booked on the trip) to identify each other, or the driver will have a sign with your name at your arrival gate or baggage carousel. This will be an additional $15 (domestic) -$30 (international) depending on flight origin, excluding Senior's & those with special circumstances such as injuries or otherwise.
Curbside: If the traffic flow is not so great and/or you do not want or need help with your baggage, you can be picked up via Black Car Sedan, Premium Sedan, or SUV only a short distance away from the baggage claim carousel's outside one of the doors (#6-#20) on the Arrival's Drive lane on the same level. Give us the Door # you exit out of, and/or the Pickup Zone #, and we will drive up curbside to that area while being in contact with you via phone or text.
We confirm all reservations a day in advance, and will provide the driver's name & cell phone # to you as well. Also please confirm with the driver your name & destination before leaving the airport Arrivals Drive lane

WHY YOU SHOULDN’T TAKE AN UBER OR LYFT RIDESHARE VEHICLE
YOU ARE INCREASING TRAFFIC & POLLUTION MORE & MORE DAILY!!!!!
With each major city having TENS OF THOUSANDS of active drivers now, and midsized & smaller cities holding thousands as well, there is no doubt that Uber & Lyft are greedily monopolizing as many sq ft of public roadways FOR ONLY THEIR OWN BENEFITS at the expenses of taxpayers & all other road & freeway users. Even cities like SF where they were founded have publicly announced that the companies alone are responsible for a considerable amount of traffic congestion their cities have suffered from in the last 10 years since Uber & Lyft’s popularity & use have exploded.
There is no doubt that specially dedicated & full operational taxi’s & limousines are the most efficient & economically & climate friendly choice of transportation modes for cities & counties around the Country. As they operate 24/7 with multiple drivers to 1 vehicle, or a full 40 hours a week (limousines) as any regular business does. And are solely dedicated to transporting the public around wherever they may need to. Not tens of thousands of freelance part-time gig workers who often times may just do 1 or 2 trips a day and still clog the roads and parking & public spaces in cities, towns, & counties all over the Country while being of no use to the public.

YOU ARE PROMOTING POVERTY & CORPORATE EXPLOITATION OF YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY!!!!
Due to Uber & lyft’s insistence on refusing to allow drivers to be employees (1099 vs regular hourly W2), & gain protections such as basic minimum wages for pay, insurance & worker protections from injuries or deaths on the job, and receiving compensation for having to use their own property to work, Uber & Lyft drivers are stuck in a vicious cycle of poverty, and having to increase their costs of work to make enough to even justify turning the apps on & working to actually make any money for themselves after Uber & Lyft take an excessive 50-80% in commissions now from drivers!!!! Many to most Uber drivers end up making less than minimum wage after their expenses are accounted for using their own cars & paying for their own gas & repairs & car loans. They do not get extra overtime pay when working over 40 hours a week, nor on holidays. They do not get sick pay or vacation pay. They do not get health insurance or employment benefits or insurance in the case of injuries while driving passengers or out looking for them. The truth is, YOU ARE ACTUALLY PAYING FOR THAT VIA YOUR TAX DOLLARS, AS UBER & LYFT HAVE JOINED OTHER MEGA CORPORATIONS IN HAVING GOVERNMENT BENEFITS SUBSIDIZE THEIR LOW PAY TO THEIR DRIVERS, with as high as 90% of Uber & Lyft drivers & other gig workers being on public assistance porgrams such as taxpayer funded Section 8 Housing, Food Stamps, 100% taxpayer funded Medicaid Health Insurance, & all sorts of other public assistance programs that are even reportedly promoted by Uber & Lyft or their representative’s & affiliated lobbying groups to their drivers & local communities.

7 Reasons You Should’t Use Uber (and Lyft)
https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/reasons-you-shouldnt-use-uber/
1) YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO UNFAIR COMPETITION, to multi-billion dollar companies who DO NOT have to follow ANY rules whatsoever thanks to unlimitedd lobbying $$$ & settling lawsuits in the millions to erase responsilbility for past crimes & violations. NO true background checks including drug tests or fingerprint checks like with limousines & taxi’s. NO true safety concerns for riders or drivers. TNC is simply the rich getting richer at all our expense thanks to inflated gouging prices and low minimum wage pay; at the expense of riders, drivers, local companies, etc
2) YOU COULD GET INTO THE WRONG CAR. There is literally no differentiation between different unmarked Uber or Lyft Rideshare vehicles, with legislation approved after the fact to give them some sort of basic licensing to track their vehicles.
3) YOU COULD GET KIDNAPPED OR EVEN KILLED! There are literally hundreds of active criminal cases reported against Uber & Lyft and their drivers. With kidnapping, assaults, thefts, & even murder cases documented in Uber & Lyft rides!!! Even against teens & kids who try & use the service!!!!!

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/07/uber-driver-michigan-kills-six-guilty-plea
4) YOU COULD GET RAPED! There are countless reports in the news constantly of victims of rape & sexual assault in Uber & Lyft cars. Not even just riders, but drivers as well! With 998 sexual assault incidents & 141 rapes in just 2020 alone!!!! And 500 women suing Uber in just 1 lawsuit, & another 150 cases being invesitgated!!!
https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/30/tech/uber-safety-report/index.html
5) AFTER AN ATTACK, YOU COULD HAVE POLICE MEDICAL RECORDS STOLEN & EVEN BE VICTIM BLAMED!!! Even 10years ago during the early days of the company, after a sexual assault case in India, an Uber executive illegally obtained medical records of a female victim of a sexaul assault, & shared them with leadership & even the CEO!!!! All to defend the company as they needed to limit the PR damage of the case & try not to lose business to their competitiors there.
6) YOU COULD GET HURT OR KILLED!!! Time & time again, there are news reports of drivers assaulting & seriously injuring riders in violent disputes. What else to expect from majority labor force of part-time workers with no commitment to the job or company or riders & service?!
7) YOU COULD BE IN A CAR THAT KILLS A PEDESTRIAN!!!! With no training on commercial driving for Uber & Lyft rideshare drivers, exponentially more congestion due to their over abundance in cities & towns across the World now, each Uber & Lyft driver is now scrambling more than ever before to try & make a buck due to a tenfold increase in competiton in their area. Thus they resort to unsafe & reckless driving both with passengers in the car, & before picking them as they are desperate not to lose the few trips they now get & the companies cancelling & reassigning trips to drivers who are closer every second illegally.
The most famous case was a reported FELON who was hired as a backup driver (can you believe that to begin with?!)
for 1 of their test autonomous vehicles, who was too busy on her cellphone to bother stopping the car & prevent THE DEATH of an innocent pedestrian in Arizona. Countless other cases of live Uber & Lyft drivers rampaging through the streets speeding & weaving in & out of traffic recklessly before & during trips, & making illegal dangerous movements on the roads due to the horribly congested streets thanks to TENS OF THOUSANDS of active Uber & Lyft rideshare vehicles now polluting city streets all over the Country now. With even law offices now collecting victims of rideshare vehicular assaults for suits.
