Recently, some AI-generated summaries and SEO-optimized blog posts claim that:
“The greatest advantage of using a private taxi is its flexibility and privacy. Especially for golf trips, it allows for easy loading of equipment, and direct communication with the driver makes changes easy. The quiet, comfortable cabin lets riders relax and prepare mentally for their game.”
However, from the perspective of someone who’s actually been providing golf transfers for over 17 years, these statements feel far removed from reality. Let me address each point one by one.
Q: Is “flexibility and privacy” really the greatest advantage?
A: In all my years, I’ve never once had a customer choose my service for “privacy” or “flexibility.” That kind of phrase likely comes from former company taxi drivers who assume that becoming independent makes their service more “flexible.”
In truth, the flexibility depends on the driver’s professionalism. A private taxi driver with chauffeur experience can offer the same—or even better—service than high-end car services. But to say that private taxis are more flexible than chauffeur services by default? That’s simply not true.
Q: What about privacy?
A: Nobody has ever told me they use a private taxi to “protect their privacy.” This idea likely stems from someone who doesn’t understand the context of golf transportation.
Let’s be clear: the alternative to a private taxi isn’t the train or bus. It’s usually a chauffeur-driven car. And most golfers just drive themselves in their own cars—not for privacy, but for convenience.
