Pros and Cons of Armored cars

As global violence, riots and crime rates rise, it is unsurprising that influential individuals are becoming increasingly vulnerable to attacks while traveling, creating the need for safe travel arrangements. Private Armored cars are extremely valuable in this regard.

Armored Car

An armored car is a reinforced vehicle designed to protect passengers from attacks and blasts, bullets. Such cars transport VIPs and valuables like money and jewelry for banks or casino trips. These have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially in areas where crime rates are high, of course, we do not scare you, we just want to know if we need them. If you escort high-profile guests like politicians, a reservation of a luxury armored vehicle can bea valuable investment – We can even drive you through the forest during the hunting season.

Pros of an Armored Car

Here are some significant benefits of owning an armored car:

  • Protection – Armored cars are constructed with high-tensile bullet-proof and shatterproof materials that withstand high impact. The interior is encased in ballistic fibers to protect against attacks from above or beneath, such as landmines. Their modified tires can roll enough times to leave the scene even after being shot. Cars protect and withstand bullets from most machine guns and rifles, as well as explosives. This ensures that your family or VIP client reaches their destination safely.

  • Protection Against Carjacking – Armored cars are difficult to carjack due to features like electric door handles which can electrocute an individual trying to break into the car. The bullet-proof glass and the highly effective armoring ensure that even individuals with guns can not threaten the driver.

  • Protection Against Accidents – These vehicles have safety features, such as blind-spot detection and shock-resistant door handles. The tires are resistant to punctures, gas attacks, and other hazards. Some armored vehicles have advanced suspension systems, cutting-edge GPS technology, and superior brakes, allowing them to offer the maximum protection possible to their occupants.

Cons of an Armored Car

Though armored vehicles are immensely useful, they have some disadvantages too:

  • High Costs – The cost of armored vehicles increases with the number of special protection applications and features installed. Also, their repair costs are significantly higher than regular vehicles. An armored vehicle will also need frequent oil changes, serpentine belts, and brake pad replacements. The tires also need frequent replacement due to the car’s heavy weight. Alongside this, armored vehicles are bigger and heavier than regular cars. This makes them consume a lot of fuel which further adds to the costs. We would like to ask you if you would like to reserve such a safety car?

  • Slow and Heavy – A significant disadvantage of armored cars is their enormous size and high curb weight. They are heavy, slow, easily detectable, and occasionally noisy and loud. Their massive size and inability to drive in all terrains can make it difficult for you to escape dangerous situations.

  • Distorted View in Windshields – Armored windshields can distort the curvature points, making looking left or right difficult. The greater the level of protection, the greater the distortion, which can reduce visibility at night.
Endnote

We have started working in this new area for us – “high-profile clients transport service”, and we are thinking about which armored car town car or SUV we should buy in order to offer customers maximum security.
But we understand that armored vehicles are unreliable, expensive to maintain and maintain a car, and we must take into account that this should greatly increase the cost of the trip.

Experience was simply fantastic! The driver showed up punctually for our Red Rocks show and even waited for us despite the rain. He promptly picked us up afterwards. The 10 person luxury Van comfortably accommodated 8 of us. I am confident in recommending InterMountain Express Van and would definitely use their Red Rocks shuttle services again. I am grateful for making my son's birthday an unforgettable one. Thanks to the InterMountain Express rocks limo.

Our connecting flight from Denver --> Aspen was cancelled and InterMountain Express got us to Snowmass last-minute during snowy conditions. The Suburban was impeccable, outfitted with snow tires, and was more than enough space for may family of five and all our ski gear. We had to pay an added premium for the last-minute service - it is my understanding that pre-planned trips rand for 1/2 the cost - but it was an expense well worth it to get my family safely to our resort and on the slopes on schedule the following day.

Excellent service that is consistently reliable and on schedule. I've been using Ringo as my driver to the Denver International Airport for the past five years, and I heartily recommend him to all of my friends and family. So, if you ever find yourself in the Denver region and require trustworthy quality service, I highly recommend that you get in touch with Intermountain Express Limo service.

Such great service! Arrived early and assisted with carrying and loading baggage. The driver was very nice and provided us with tips for navigating the Denver Airport. All passengers felt extremely comfortable in the car and with the driver. So much better than a shuttle service!

I was very pleased with the service of InterMountain Express. They arrived on time and communication made the process so easy. Our driver Elze was great. After scrambling to get a new flight because our flight had been cancelled, it was so nice to relax for the drive to Vail. I will definitely use InterMountain again and will recommend them to others.
