5 Spots To Visit With A Private Driver This Summer … Yes, Including The Beach

Silver Service Taxis are the epitome of elegance. (It’s literally in the name!). And so, while there are many occasions when investing in a fancy set of wheels is an obvious option – luxury cabs, suited drivers and door-to-door drop offs really do make a perfect pairing to evenings out at the theatre or Opera – you don’t need to don a designer gown to enjoy VIP adventures!

Here are five spots you’ll be likely to visit during December. And, why using taxi services from Silver Service Taxis to get you there isn’t as crazy as it sounds.

1. Crazy Christmas parties

Sparkly shoes, dress, and earrings? Check. Check. And check! Now, all you need is a suitably shiny set of wheels to match. Which is why it is only appropriate that you pair your attire with a Silver Service Taxi. Aesthetics aside, leaving your transfers to the pros is also a sensible way to handle the logistics of the annual office Christmas party – including overpriced parking problems, designated driver dramas, and the unpredictability of rideshare roulette! So, let the glam and the good bubbly roll knowing that there is someone on hand to safely handle the drive home. (Although, unfortunately not quite as well equipped to extricate you from any awkward conversations with Jan from HR!)

2. Impossible to impress in-laws

Impressing the in-laws come Christmas Day can be nerve-wracking enough. And, that’s before you even consider your crumpled arrival courtesy of navigating two hours of traffic woes!

So, pulling up in a Silver Service Taxi, leaves you ready to make a polished first impression. The sleek vehicles and professional drivers exude sophistication to help you win a few points before you even say hello. Even if your pavlova is not as pretty as Aunty Pam’s. On the flip side, if your relationship with the in-laws is a sore spot, Silver Service Taxis can still come to your rescue – masquerading as Secret Santa to keep the Merry in Christmas! Their parcel delivery service lets you send thoughtful gifts without the awkward small talk. Delivering plum pudding to Uncle Jim, without having to make small talk? What a perfect example of having your (Christmas) cake and eating it too! 

3. Overwhelming airports

December travel can be quite chaotic. However, a chauffeur-esque service (Silver Service Taxi style) can make the process of getting to the airport infinitely more stress-free.

As as well avoiding rushed last-minute scrambles and expensive long-term parking costs, Silver Service passengers are unlikely to replicate the craziness of the classic Christmas movie Home Alone, and leave behind a beloved family member! 

For those stuck home and welcoming family and friends at the arrivals gate, arriving in a Silver Service can add a touch of elegance to your emotional reunion.

4. Beautiful – but very busy!- beaches

Whoever decided that Aussies were all about sea, surf and sunny beaches forgot to include a less attractive addition to this classic Summer scenario – seriously bad traffic to get there!

Add overpriced (and unavailable) car spots,  sand in your car, and an overheating air conditioner that never seems to work to the equation, and even the sunniest days can suddenly feel more like a sticky melted ice cream slowly spreading across your hands.

This is when a professional driver at the wheel delivers an excellent return on investment. So all you have to do is slip, slop, slap, and sit back and enjoy the scenic route to your favourite stretch of sand – feeling fresh, not frazzled.

5. Your city hotspots

Finally, if your travel itinerary is more staycation than exotic escape, then a Silver Service driver can chauffeur you to your city’s hotspots in style.

Imagine snapping selfies under Sydney’s Harbour Bridge, strolling through Melbourne’s  Royal Botanic Gardens and the National Gallery of Victoria, or, heading to Mount Coot-Tha Summit Lookout for unparalleled views of Brisbane, then relaxing at the South Bank Parklands. No trawling through traffic, navigating maps, or fighting to find parking (then cutting your plans short to top up the meter and avoid the wrath of an angry parking ranger). Nope. Nothing but smooth transitions from one iconic spot to the next so you can play tourist even if you are home for the holidays.
