Smart Cars was the first Sedan service in the city
of Chicago when it opened its doors for business in March 1994
We started as an alternative to the Taxicab and have since evolved
into a High Quality/Competitively Priced Luxury Sedan Service.
Smart Cars started with 3 Chevrolet Caprices. We now have over
50 luxury sedans (Lincoln Towncars), Limousines, vans, mini-buses
and coaches.
Our drivers in 1994 were only asked to have the proper license
in order to work with the company. Today there is a formal application
procedure. After a preliminary screening, all Chauffeurs are required
to attend a rigorous in-house training process that includes classroom
work and on the road training. After passing a 165-question examination,
they must then pass drug and map reading tests. Finally they must
demonstrate proficiency in the use of communication equipment, etiquette
with passengers and safe driving techniques.
In 1994 we dispatched and kept track of our reservations on paper.
Today we utilize several state of the art Dispatch and Call Center
software packages Including Odyssey, GT3, FlightView and Transponet.
Until 2002 we handled only reservations in the greater Chicagoland
area. Today we can supply ground transportation almost anywhere
in the world!
In 1994 all ‘drivers’ were asked to dress; ‘business
casual’. Today, all of our Chauffeurs are uniformed in dark
suits, white shirts and ties.
