If there is one type of transportation service that you won't have problems locating in the SF bay area, it is probably limo services ! Although the BART is often delayed, and Taxis sometimes act as if they do not want to stop for you, the bay area is heavily saturated with firms that are willing to help you out with limousine transportation.
Searching online for a limousine firm is usually the quickest way to locate a good number of companies all at once. Simply type in "Limousine Service."
Yelp is also a good indicator of how good the service is or is not. You should try to be careful when you use price as an indicator for which limo service you select.
An occurrence that is all too often is the scenario where a company with newer drivers and an antique fleet to service you. This situation ensures that his cost of operation (along with quality of service) is very low, allowing him to give you a second rate service for a second rate price point.
It is very likely that if you are the type of person that is keen to corporate transportation, you will hear terrible stories from people who had to ride with cheaper limousine firms that were paid for by their company. These stories are typified by a new driver, a twenty year old and badly aged limousine with ugly interior and scenes reminiscent of riding BART.
In this event, what was originally intended to be a beautiful night with luxury accommodation ends up being tainted by an ancient limousine with torn seats, an empty bar, and no modern amenities. This is obviously the opposite of what you were envisioning when you scheduled what was supposed to be a luxury transport for a special evening.
With that said, some folks simply decide to go with the best service available, even if the price tag is quite a bit heftier than other local limousine services. Typically, these transportation firms in the higher echelons of their industry will publish an all inclusive rate that shows everything from toll fees, travelling time, tax and gratuity, so that you know exactly what you are getting into. Other cheaper firms just tell you the base rate (which is much lower) than hit you with all the other fees at the end of the evening. The difference in cost when all fees are accounted for is usually not that much, but the difference in service can be quite a bit.
Take into consideration that some firms of a higher reputation often only feature limousines that are no less than two years in age. They also employ highly skilled and vastly experienced chauffeurs that undergo extreme safety training and adhere to a very strict driving protocol meant to keep you safe. These same agencies typically feature complimentary open bar and exhaustive insurance. All of these amenities will obviously cause the price tag to be a little bit higher. With all of this taken into full consideration, you usually won't mind having over a little bit of extra money in exchange for a wonderful experience, as opposed to a nightmare memory that haunts you every time you see members of the group who were on the adventure with you.
