Chauffeur service versus a taxi
A taxi is hailed or dispatched on demand and charged by the meter. A chauffeur is reserved in advance, the vehicle class is guaranteed and the price is fixed. That certainty matters most for airport runs, client pickups and any trip where arriving on time and presentable counts.
