So what exactly are the other advantages of a private car service over an Uber?

A personalized experience

We are offering a range of private car service options to cater to various business or personal needs, including options for scheduled rides, airport pickups, group transportation, and more. Your possibilities are endless when you hire a professional, so let Kaptyn handle all of your transportation needs.

Convenience

With Kaptyn, you can easily track, monitor, and analyze bookings so you can make better decisions and optimize your experience. You’ll be able to keep track of your rides through our website every step of the way. You’ll also be provided with a dashboard that allows you to edit or cancel rides easily and allows you better control over all of your trips.

If you’re wondering, ‘Can I keep the vehicle longer if I run out of time I reserved?’ This will depend on whether the driver has an upcoming reservation. If the driver does not have an upcoming reservation, you can advise your driver that you would like to extend your reservation time. We’ll be happy to work with you to meet all of your needs!

Reliability

Kaptyn guarantees efficient transportation by promptly connecting you with our drivers to reach your destination. If you are flying in, we’ll be there to pick you up before your plane lands. Not sure where to go to meet your chauffeur? No problem. We allow easy access to connect you directly to the driver so you can have an effortless pickup every time.

Cost transparency

We have introduced stress-free roundtrip reservations for airports, events, and everyday journeys. All you need to do is book online, provide the pickup and drop-off address, and select the dates. We also offer one-way trips, and you can book hourly. No matter your needs, we have options available for you.

Once you’ve entered your details, you can see our available rides and pricing. We offer transparent pricing, including taxes, tips, tolls, and potential overage fees, so there are no surprises.

Also, we understand things come up, and plans change. To provide the highest level of customer service and maximum availability to all of our customers, we have a 24-hour cancellation notice policy. All cancellations made within the 24-hour window to pickup time will be 100% non-refundable.

Gate monitoring for airport drop off

The advantages of private transportation include monitoring your flight schedule. We coordinate with the drivers to ensure you reach your destination on time, even in the event of a flight delay.
