| Booking style | Pre-booked private quote with pickup, destination, passengers, luggage, and timing reviewed in advance. | Available through ranks, street hailing or booking services; advance booking and vehicle options depend on the provider. |
| Experience | Private chauffeur vehicle, direct support, airport and cruise port planning, and premium presentation. | Standard cab experience that can work well for short routes but may vary by queue, vehicle, and timing. |
