PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR PARIS AND ILE DE FRANCE ON RESERVATION

If at the beginning, the function of private driver Paris aroused a craze revolutionizing the transport of people. Today, this service is still attractive as it has been called into question following numerous abuses in the sector.

Based on this premise, we have decided to act and provide users with an answer claire.

In the passenger transport sector, how does our Paris private driver company position itself? What are the arguments for or against private chauffeur company services in Île de France? Finally, how does Eden Transports differ from competitors in the sector?

PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR PARIS VS TAXI: AN ENDLESS QUARREL

A hot topic that has repeatedly made the headlines (strike, fight, loss of turnover), Parisian taxi drivers felt the blow coming. However, the profession of private driver Paris is regulated and has its own legislation. In this regard, the Ministry of Transport to proceed to a perfect dichotomy between the two branches. However, what becomes problematic for taxi drivers is the resulting competition. For them, the massive arrival of new drivers whose purpose is to transport passengers is not acceptable. Although the legal regime is different, it is the loss of turnover that unleashes passions.

To clarify and reinforce our comments, Eden Transports has transcribed in table form the characteristics specific to each field of activity.

VTC PLATFORMS: A HIGHLY POLITICAL SUBJECT

It is certainly the abusive practices of the platforms that have damaged the image of the private vtc driver over time. A concept invented on the other side of the Atlantic, the American giant UBER landed in the capital in 2011 and immediately won over by offering top-of-the-range passenger vehicles with private drivers at more than fair prices. However, the excesses observed since 2017 seem to be detrimental to the profession of private driver in Paris.

The lack of fare regulation leads to a renewed confidence in taxis

Without a doubt, the top-of-the-range VTC service is the criterion that won over Ile-de-France customers when UBER was launched. But the model of the American multinational and its diversification is suffering in the country of the social that is France. Indeed, the economic liberalism advocated by the platform is displeasing. It is in particular the soaring prices due to the increase in supply and demand as well as notorious events at the origin of unjustified prices that are pointed out by consumers.

Face to these inconveniences, the popularity of taxi drivers goes up.

Longer than normal wait time

In principle, the reservation system leaves the choice to the private driver Paris to accept or not a race. Often, this option is the cause of increased waiting times for users. In fact, many consumers prefer to use taxis, although they are more expensive.

Private driver and lack of experience: an evil affecting novices

The explosion in demand for a private driver in Paris as well as the instant constitution of a self-employed status have benefited a whole population of workers in need of living who can obtain income quickly. Despite the initial motivation, many VTCs were not prepared for the job and also saw their working conditions deteriorate over time. This observation has resulted in a drop in the quality of service, an incessant race for money and the negligence of users.

In the end, if the services of VTCs and Taxis seem to be rebalancing or suffering of a lack, this situation does not impact in any way the professionalism at Eden Transports. Aware of the environment in which we operate, our tailor-made services are the work of the national and international context, the business world or simple services for individuals.

THESE INCONVENIENCES PROGRESS THE PARIS PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR ACTIVITY AT EDEN TRANSPORTS

To begin, we will start from the observation that Eden Transports is an independent vtc driver company. In fact, the criticisms that have affected the platforms have in no way tainted our society.
