In order to continue to provide services to customers in a safe and effective way, many businesses have had to adjust on the fly to life in a time of coronavirus.
As the country reopens with each passing week and a new normal begins to take shape, Rudy’s Executive Transportation, a car service and executive transportation company located in Greenwich and Stamford, is focusing on safety for both its employees and customers.
Rudy’s has installed clear safety shields between passengers and drivers in over 100 of their luxury sedans, SUVs and transporter vans.
“We at Rudy’s pledge to make every effort to continue to protect our customers during the COVID crisis. Our top priority continues to be their personal safety. We are committed to doing everything within our power to ensure their well-being and we believe our new safety shields are one more way we can make that happen,” said Rudy’s CEO, Roy Spezzano.
The safety shield precaution builds upon the rigorous safety protocols already in place. The entire Rudy’s team already uses hand sanitizer, masks and gloves. Additionally, between each and every trip, the interior and exterior surfaces of the vehicle are wiped down and sanitized.
“We’ve used Rudy’s twice now and they do a great job of keeping everything sanitized,” said Lynne Sweckie, a customer of Rudy’s.
Another customer, Anne White, said she was impressed with how Rudy’s was able to adjust with the pandemic.
“We never stress about it when they’re driving and they always make us feel like VIPs,” White remarked. “With the pandemic, they had to pivot and fit their cars with shields and put all kinds of new measures in place. All the precautions make us feel secure – and still like VIPs.”
Rudy’s has been in business since 1956, and has provided safe, quality transportation services to Fairfield and Westchester Counties, serving well over three million customers along the way.
Over the years, Rudy’s has provided transportation for several U.S. Presidents and Vice Presidents, as well as Senators, to numerous governmental meetings in New York City, as well as at private homes in Fairfield County.
Each driver is professionally trained to meet customers’ unique travel requirements, from delivering corporate executives to important meetings in Boston and Philadelphia, as well as to various vacation spots on Cape Cod and Long Island.
The company now spans four generations, with Rudy’s son Roy and his wife Sheila; their children, Dany and Dona; and Rudy’s great-grandson, Rob, all involved.
As a result, Rudy’s has been voted “Best of the Gold Coast” in 14 of the last 15 years.
