An up-and-coming small company will often spend an inordinate amount of time hosting potential investors and business partners, which means it's up to you to make their stay as stress-free and convenient as possible. One way to do this is to use a professional transportation service to shuttle them around. The following tips can help you make the most of the service.

Tip #1: Contract with a single company

Using only one transportation company helps ensure that you get consistent service quality. It's even better if you can have a dedicated driver or two for each visiting executive, since this allows the driver to become acquainted with the needs and desires of their client. All of this adds up to more personal service. The transportation provider will also work harder to please you, since they won't want to compromise their exclusive contract.

Tip #2: Choose the right vehicle

For simple transportation to and from a location, especially short jaunts, a town car is usually sufficient. This especially true if you only need to move one or two people at a time. For longer trips, or for "meetings on the road," a limo with more seating may be a better option. An executive limo features two rows of rear seats that face each other, sometimes with a low table between, which is perfect if you plan to discuss business while commuting.

Tip #3: Ask for executive services

Time in the car is also usually time for work, especially when you have executives traveling all the way to tour or learn about your operations. Make sure your corporate transportation provider is ready to provide for these business needs. Look for services such as integrated USB and power hubs in the rear seating area and onboard internet hotspots. This ensures that your visitors can stay connected even while they are commuting.

Tip #4: Provide an itinerary

The best transportation service will ask for an itinerary, especially if you have the driver reserved for the day. Make sure you provide them with a basic list of where the executive needs to be and when they need to be there. This way your driver can pay attention to traffic concerns and plan accordingly. The driver should be fully connected so that you can send them updates via text or app to update the itinerary as needed, such as if you are stuck in a meeting that is running late.
