A fleet of luxury automobiles, either used as personal rentals or as a limousine service, must meet a certain standard of quality to impress clients and make the company look professional. A clean car with gleaming chrome is only part of what people expect. A detail as seemingly minor as tinted windows can also affect the perception people have of the service.
Improve Vehicle AppearanceTinted windows add elegance immediately because they stop the interior of the vehicle from drawing interest away from the exterior finish. Darkly tinted windows work beautifully as an accent with any paint color and instantly add an air of luxury and style.
Meet Client ExpectationsNot all luxury cars have tinted windows, but often when you see photographs and videos of famous figures exiting a car at a red-carpet event, the car usually has windows too dark to see inside. A client waiting for a luxury ride will often expect to see the same from their vehicle and may feel dissatisfied if the appearance does not meet their expectation.
First impressions can cloud how people feel. Research studies have shown that humans need only
one-tenth of a second
to begin to form an opinion on another person. If their opinion toward a vehicle happens as quickly, the great customer service and the comfortable ride may not be enough to erase their underlying dissatisfaction from their first impression.
Add More PrivacyHollywood stars prefer tinted windows because they appreciate privacy. The desire to stay out of the view of others is not a trait felt only by the famous. Many people enjoy the idea of traveling without the eyes of others on them. The anonymity provided by tinted windows can allow people to relax more and enjoy their ride.
Increase Passenger ComfortVehicles experience the greenhouse effect. Sunlight enters through the glass and warms the seats and upholstery inside. The heated material warms the interior air, and the warmth cannot escape through the glass. This effect is what causes interiors to reach higher temperatures than the outside air.
Air conditioning cools the air, but it cannot control the temperature of any surfaces directly in the sunlight. People can also become uncomfortable when they are directly in the glare of sunlight, even in comfortable air temperature.
Tinted window film reduces the amount of sunlight that reaches the interior of the vehicle. Less sunlight results in cooler surfaces and more comfort for the driver and the passengers. The reduced sunlight also lowers the glare inside the vehicle for better eye comfort and less glare on device screens.
Protect the VehicleSunlight not only increases temperatures, but it also exposes everything it touches to UV rays. The constant exposure to UV rays can fade and cause cracks in leather and plastic surfaces and fade any cloth in the vehicle. Tinted windows block UV rays, so they prevent this damage and enable vehicles to stay looking their best.
Though most customers will not spend enough time in a rental vehicle to incur a lot of damage to their skin, the car providers should still take precautions. Limo drivers also need to keep the concern in mind. The addition of window tint can lower the risk of skin cancer because between
95 and 99
percent of skin cancers occur due to overexposure to UV rays.
Window tinting is a fast and simple process that does not add any extra effort to the care of the vehicle. Fleet owners can increase the attractiveness of their vehicles, protect their interior, and make their clients more comfortable with one simple step. At
