Reasons to be Wary of Lyft for Town Car Service Around Chicago

SUV

Before calling up that Lyft app to navigate Chicago, you should be aware of the risks that come with ride share services like Uber and Lyft and consider town car service in Chicago. Tapping a button on an app might be convenient, but it could also be unsafe. We want to make sure all city residents and visitors to Chicago know they have other options for travel around the city.

But first, why should you hesitate to use Uber and Lyft?

Why Think Twice About Calling a Lyft?

Have you ever thought about how services like Lyft have so many Chicago drivers available? Or what kind of hoops someone has to jump through to be an Uber driver? It turns out that those two questions are very closely related.

  • Lyft has no mandatory drug tests for their drivers, while our properly licensed chauffeurs are regularly tested to help ensure your safety as a passenger in the vehicle.

  • Your Lyft driver could have spent less time in the city of Chicago than you and could even have no knowledge of Chicago streets and geography, instead relying on GPS that could take you to parts of the city you don’t want to be in.

  • Background checks for Lyft drivers are simple, while drivers in traditional town car service in Chicago undergo extensive research into their background before being handed a set of keys. The result is that criminals can slip through the cracks and end up driving for Uber and Lyft.

The short answer is that we think you should think twice about using Lyft in Chicago because you just can’t know all of the details about your next driver. Even if you’ve never had bad service before, you can’t know who is coming to pick you up next.
