TESTIMONIALS

When we want to go out on a Saturday night, we don’t want to worry about having that extra cocktail or two. R. Lucas gives us that peace of mind. Your driver was professional and friendly, and your service helped us to enjoy our evening out all the more.

Getting to the airport has never been easier. With two small children, having the comfort of our own car seats and DVD player was great. Chris was prompt, drove us safely, and saving 40% versus our normal transportation to the airport didn’t hurt either! I’ve already told my friends, there’s no better way to get to the airport.

R. Lucas Drivers helped us and our friends to have a great night out in the city. Door to door service for dinner and a show, no hassle or expense for parking, and your driver was on time, courteous, and drove us safely. Our car felt like a limo! We will definitely be using you again.

For celebrated thoroughbred trainer Dale Romans, his time at the track is closely matched by his time on the road. Romans has horses running all over the east coast all the time. The trainer of Shackleford, the 2011 Preakness winner, does most of his business out of his car. “The seats of my Mercedes are as organized as any file cabinet,” he jokes.

So when it came time to take a trip into New York City for a dinner party, Romans gladly surrendered the steering wheel—but not the car. Instead, he decided to hand over the keys to a driver from R. Lucas Drivers, a unique service that provides drivers to chauffeur the customer in their own car.

“I knew I was going to have some wine with dinner and I didn’t want to worry about driving,” Romans said, adding that parking was another task he no longer had to worry about, since the driver dropped them off and picked them up at the door of the restaurant.

“Our customers love us once they understand the concept,” says co-founder Chris Candee. They get the advantages of a car or limo service at about half the price,” he explains. “Plus, they are in total control of the evening. If they want to stay an extra hour, go to a different venue, or pick up their friends, it doesn’t matter. Our drivers are paid a flat hourly fee, which even includes gratuity”.

Based on the opinion of one perfectionist trainer, Candee’s plan is working. “The driver was polite, courteous and knew how to get about town and avoid traffic. It made for a very pleasurable trip.”
