Executive Chauffeur Transfer Services to London

At a time that businesses of all sizes are looking to reduce costs Lancashire based Chauffeur company Fylde Executive Cars has started a new chauffeur driven shuttle service from Lancashire to the London area in direct competition to the service offered by Virgin Trains on the North West line. Managing Director of Fylde Executive Cars Ltd, John Coombes said “ With train and plane fares increasingly regularly, business travellers are now starting to feel the pinch and are now looking for alternative travel options for their day trip to London. It is with this in mind that we have now made our fleet of executive saloons and people carriers available to provide a door to door service which offers competitive pricing and unrivalled flexibility for the business traveller” A client booking an open return rail ticket from Preston Train station in Lancashire to London Euston can expect to pay on average £289.00 for a standard return ticket rising to £406.00 for a First Class return. This compares to an average price of £416 for an open ended business return ticket with British Airways flying from Manchester to Heathrow. There is no doubt that the journey time of just two and half hours on the train is appealing when comparing it to the average four hour road transfer but, ticket costs are high and rising. Taking into account the added cost of car parking or taxi transfers to/from the station or airport at both ends of the journey, budgets are really squeezed, it is no surprise therefore that budget holders are rightly looking for alternative travel options. The new service being offered by Fylde Executive Cars delivers a real saving for those companies with two or more employees travelling by train to London Euston or flying by shuttle from Manchester Airport to London Heathrow or Gatwick. The service includes the collection of passengers from their homes in Lancashire, the provision of daily newspapers and bottled water. The executive car or luxury people carrier will then drop the clients in London, remaining on call until the clients return later in the day. Clients are also able to arrange for the car to do additional transfers in London for a nominal additional fee. After a day of meetings in London the Chauffeur will then transfer you back to the North West as required or stay overnight with you in London if required. John Coombes added “We are able to transfer up to three clients in one of our Volvo and Mercedes Chauffeur cars and up to 6 people in comfort in one of our executive Mercedes or Chrysler people carriers. The flexibility of having a car collect you straight from home and transfer you directly to the door of your London destination should be an attractive option. Our Chauffeurs are professional drivers, with state of the art GPRS tracking software in the vehicle to ensure you arrive at your destination with the minimum of delay. Our drivers offer a discreet and confidential service which allows clients to discuss sensitive issues in confidence whilst travelling with us, a luxury not always possible on the train. We offer a high level of service and a significant saving on the journey costs as well” Price comparison for a Chauffeur driven car to London as an alternative to Train or Air travel from Lancashire and Manchester Airport to London: X1-3 Passengers in an executive saloon from Preston area to London area £550 return (X3 pax equiv train costs: standard £867, 1st Class £1218) X3-6 Passengers in an executive people carrier from Preston to London area £700.00 return (X6 pax equiv train costs: standard £1734, 1st Class £2436) Prices are subject to VAT at 20%.
