    Getting Back To Normal After Lockdown

    As restrictions start to ease across the UK businesses are starting to re-open. Weddings are starting to resume. And we are finally contemplating going back to the office and on holiday in the next few months. With life starting to slowly return to normal we present the checklist to leaving lockdown.

    Dining Out

Indoor hospitality will be allowed to resume again from May 17th. So why not celebrating returning back to normal with a special meal, perhaps for a birthday or just a special event. And you can make it even more special by hiring a Chauffeur for your special occasion. Our Special Occasion Chauffeur service will add a touch of luxury and glamour. You’ll be whisked away to your chosen restaurant in our luxury Mercedes vehicles in style. And we’ll wait until you’ve finished your meal to take you home, to a local hotel or other event or location for an extra special night to remember.

    Staycation or Holidays Abroad

Hiring a chauffeur to take you to your holiday let is safer than public transport and more cost-effective for families, where train tickets can set you back hundreds of pounds. Our Holiday Chauffeur service will help to take the stress out of travelling large distances such as Leicester to Devon, which can be a long and complex journey. Your family can relax instead, without 4G Wi-Fi and luxury seats. And if you want to go on a staycation which involves days out or sightseeing we can also provide a chauffeur service for places of interest such as Bing Ben, London Eye and more.

Our Airport Transfer service from Leicestershire to any UK airport will provide a luxury experience and get you in that holiday frame of mind earlier or for longer if you’re returning. Our VIP Chauffeur service will ensure that you arrive or return from the airport stress-free. We’ll plan the route, arrange the drop-off or pick-up and parking. We can collect from straight from the door and our service can be much cheaper than hiring a taxi. Our Mercedes Minibuses can easily cater for families or groups of up to 16, with plenty of room for luggage. Finally enjoy the onboard 4G WiFi before your flight in comfort and luxury.

    Going Out

    Getting back to normal also involves going out to concerts, west end shows and sporting events. From March 29th outdoor sports facilities are back open, from April 12 outdoor hospitality events are back open. And from May 17th indoor hospitality is back open. So why not hire a Special Occasion Chauffeur and enjoy going back out again.

  • Cruises To Suit You

    view from a cruising on boardIf you’re planning on going on a cruise why not consider the following before you book, to ensure the cruise is ideal for you:

  • who’s in your party
  • what’s your budget
  • where do you want to go
  • how will you get to the seaport?
  • Who’s In Your Party

    This can determine the type of cruise, length and where you go. For example, are you looking for a child-friendly cruise operator such as Disney? What are the age groups in your party? This can impact how long you go away for and when. For example, can you only go away during school holidays because you have young children in your party? If your party members are retired, you could take advantage of last-minute offers or around the world cruises, since your schedule isn’t restricted to set dates.

    What’s Your Budget

    Cruises can range widely in price, so you need to consider your budget before booking. Your budget could limit how long you go away for, where you go and the cabin you choose. Choosing an all-inclusive cruise operator might be ideal for those with limited budgets since most cruises do not include drinks and tips so you’ll need to budget extra for these, as well as excursions and any spending money. An all-inclusive budget will give you peace of mind and ensure you don’t overspend during your trip.

    Where Do You Want To Go

    Where you want to go will, of course, impact how many days you go away for. For example, if you want to go to New York you’ll need more than a weekend to get there. If you’re limited by time you might want to consider booking a cruise which includes flights. You’ll also need to consider how to get to the seaport from your location.

    How Will You Get To The Seaport

    Getting to the seaport can prove a chore, especially for early morning departures or for large groups. You’ll need to consider when to leave, factor in multiple stopping points to pick up various members of your party and any traffic you may encounter on the way. So why not arrive in style and stress-free ready to start your holiday with a chauffeured driven ride to the seaport? Our friendly drivers can accommodate for large parties of up to 16 with plenty of room for your luggage. Alternatively, we also offer airport transfers should you book a cruise with flights.

    So make your booking today by calling Executive Cars Leicester on 0116 3214 161. Or you can email us at enquiries@executivecarsleicester.co.uk or fill out our contact form.
