Your chauffeur will meet you inside the terminal as you exit the secure area from your arriving gate, holding a sign with your name on it.

Unfortunately it is not that simple. You should seek out referrals and recommendations from friends, family and business associates. There are many factors to consider such as reputation, years in business, hours of operation, size and age of fleet, licensing and insurance, customer service philosophy & back office support & management, depth and type of chauffeur staff – all company employees (screened & trained), and financial stability. Please use due diligence in choosing your transportation service. Do not be hesitant to ask any pertinent questions including for proof of insurance. When using larger vehicles especially, any company should provide their U.S. DOT number and company name registered under. Use the Safe Bus app to view whether they are in good standing. You might be surprised what you find out. In July 2017, the Houston Star did an expose on party bus operators and they found that nearly 2/3 of the companies were operating without proper licensing and insurance.
