New Comfort + Cleanliness Efforts: AUTO EDITION
In the third edition of our blog post regarding updates to cleanliness and sanitation standards, we’re presenting the AUTO edition, covering rental car agencies, ride-share, and chauffeur companies. In case you missed them, please refer to our previous posts focused on airline and hotel companies. As mentioned, we think we can all agree that confidence in these measures across the industry is going to be crucial as we return to travel. We’ll continue to add to this list as new details are available, so check back often!
RENTAL CAR SERVICES:
Each vendor has an enhanced program outlining cleaning touchpoints after each rental. Links to details below.
RIDESHARE COMPANIES:
Lyft Before using Lyft, every rider and driver will be required to self-certify that they will wear face masks throughout the ride, are symptom-free, and will follow CDC and local guidelines related to COVID-19.
Uber is preparing new technology with checklists that will verify various elements, such as if the driver is wearing a mask by asking them to take a selfie. After it has been verified that the driver is covering their face, Uber will let the rider know. Similar checklists will be used for riders. Before every trip, riders must confirm that they’ve taken precautions like wearing a face cover and washing or sanitizing their hands, among other protocols.
CHAUFFEUR COMPANIES:
Empire CLS vehicles undergo a comprehensive program every night that includes cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting each vehicle in our fleet. All chauffeur’s body temperatures are being monitored daily.
Carey International has stocked vehicles with individual hand sanitizer units along with Clorox wipes for chauffeurs to wipe down all shared surfaces after each trip.
Dav El - Boston Coach has increased their global daily vehicle cleaning protocol to include multiple vehicle disinfectant cleanings a day, including between passenger changes.
