As the holiday season approaches, many of us start planning for Christmas parties and New Year celebrations filled with laughter, good food, and festive drinks. However, amidst the excitement, safety should be our top priority, especially when it comes to transportation. One standout solution is hiring a maxicab. This post delves into the advantages of using a maxicab service for your holiday gatherings, ensuring you can celebrate worry-free.


The Importance of Safety During the Holidays


The holiday season often leads to an increase in social gatherings where drinks are common. Unfortunately, this also means a spike in alcohol-related accidents.


By opting for a maxicab, you can avoid the dangers linked to drinking and driving. Choosing a dependable service allows everyone in your group to enjoy the night without the burden of a designated driver. For instance, if you're celebrating with a group of six friends, hiring a maxicab can keep everyone safe while letting you share the festive cheer.


Book a Maxicab for Convenience and Comfort


When hosting friends and family, the last thing you need is the stress of parking or navigating unfamiliar roads after a party. A maxicab offers transportation tailored to your needs. Whether you are heading to an upscale restaurant for a holiday dinner or a family gathering, maxicabs typically accommodate larger groups comfortably.


Imagine traveling together in a spacious vehicle where you can laugh, share stories, and create memories in a relaxed environment. Instead of splitting up into multiple cars, you can keep the group together. This not only makes the journey enjoyable but also fosters a sense of unity and celebration.

Stress-Free Travel Experience


Hiring a chauffeur for your holiday events offers a completely stress-free travel experience. You won't need to worry about who will take on the role of designated driver, nor will you have to pay for expensive parking fees. Your chauffeur manages all the details, including picking you up and ensuring everyone arrives home safely.


For example, if you're heading to a New Year’s Eve party, you can unwind in the back seat with your friends, sip on a celebratory drink, and enjoy the atmosphere without concern for traffic or directions.


The Cost of a Maxicab vs. the Cost of Complications


Drink Driving and the Road Traffic Act

Drink driving is a two-pronged offence in Singapore governed by Section 67 of the Road Traffic Act (RTA). This Act states that someone is unfit to drive under the influence of alcohol if they can’t have proper control of the vehicle or they exceed the legal alcohol limit for driving.


Penalties for drink driving

The starting penalty for a drink driving conviction for a first offender is a fine of between S$2,000 and S$10,000, or up to twelve months in prison, or both.


For repeat offenders, the fines are higher at S$5,000 to S$20,000 and up to two years in jail.

Offenders will also lose their driving licence (or be barred from applying for one if they are driving without one). This ban lasts at least two years for first offenders and up to five years for repeat offenders.


By booking a maxicab, you’re not just spending money; you’re investing in safety and peace of mind. For a reasonable rate, you can ensure that your holiday celebrations remain joyful events rather than turning into tragic headlines.


An Eco-Friendly Option


Beyond safety, choosing a maxicab can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. With fewer cars on the road, the impact of transportation on the environment diminishes. This is especially important during the holidays, a time when consumption usually surges.


Whether you're having a quiet dinner with friends or a bustling New Year’s celebration, think about the environment. By using a shared ride, you’re contributing to a greener holiday season.


Enjoying the Festive Spirit


The holiday season is meant for joy and celebration. When you hire a chauffeur, you can fully immerse yourself in the festivities—dance to your favorite songs, enjoy festive cocktails, and embrace the holiday spirit without reservations. You can focus on creating unforgettable memories rather than worrying about how to get home.


Hiring a maxicab allows everyone to share the laughter, love, and joy that this season brings, making it a memorable experience for all.


Book Early for the Best Experience


The holiday season presents a surge in demand for transportation services, so it’s wise to book your maxicab as early as possible. This ensures you get your preferred vehicle and driver, allowing you to plan your celebrations without any last-minute stress.


Think ahead for family gatherings or New Year countdowns. Early bookings not only guarantee availability, but they also give you ample time to finalize your itinerary and specify your pick-up and drop-off points.


Celebrate Safely and Joyfully


The festive season is meant for joy, merriment, and—most importantly—safety. By choosing to hire a maxicab for your Christmas and New Year events, you actively contribute to a safe and enjoyable experience for yourself and your loved ones.


Feel free to enjoy that glass of champagne, and leave the driving to someone else. Make this season memorable and enjoyable while prioritizing comfort and safety. Remember, the holidays are about creating wonderful moments filled with laughter and love. Enjoy the season responsibly!
