In association with:
Too many Christmas parties, too little time? Oh please, there’s no such thing as too many parties. There is, however, the question of how to get around them all in time. Well, consider that question answered and, while you’re at it, you can get around them all in absolute VIP luxury too.
Wheely, the on-demand chauffeur service that arrived in London this year, might just be exactly what you need for party-hopping this Christmas. Rather than being stranded out in the cold at 3am, desperately trying to hail a cab and get home for less than the cost of a flight to Barbados, the intuitive Wheely app lets you hail exceptionally comfortable journeys in class-leading cars both on-demand and in advance.
Travel in style
When you’re dressed in your festive finest, on your way to London’s hottest, glitziest Christmas parties, why not let yourself feel like a VIP all night long? Wheely’s chauffeurs are not only experts on London’s geography, but also VIP etiquette standards. They meet you in a smart suit, open the door for you and won’t initiate a conversation.
Forgot to say goodbye to your host and worried your car will leave? Wheely’s chauffeurs will wait for 20 minutes before making contact with you. Ventured out without an overcoat and the heavens have opened? Your chauffeur will be there to help, umbrella in hand.
As for the cars themselves, Wheely only use luxury and executive vehicles, so you’ll never turn up in anything less than a Mercedes-Benz E, S or V-class in black or silver, without branding, no more than 3 years old.
All your journeys can be tailored to your taste too. You’re in control of the choice of route, temperature and music, including streaming your Christmas party playlist from your smartphone. So if you’d like to take a scenic route through the festive lights of London, nice and toasty, to the honeyed tones of Michael “Mr Christmas” Bublé, your Christmas wish will indeed be fulfilled.
Travel with peace of mind
Another good reason to use Wheely is the lack of surge pricing and flat rates for airport transfers, so there’ll be no unpleasant surprises when you’re hailing your Wheely during a busy time.
But it’s not just the party season that hailing a Wheely can come in handy for. After conducting a recent survey with Atomic Research, they found that people are more likely to use a ride-hailing service like Wheely over the Christmas period, instead of driving themselves, so they can get help with shopping bags.
So when you make that last mission to the high streets this Christmas, consider rewarding yourself with a luxurious lift home. If you need a little helping hand from your Wheely chauffeur with your Christmas shopping – be in help with doors, shopping bags or just to wait for a passenger while they’re buying presents – just request a journey and say in the comments what you’d prefer your chauffeur help you with.
