No Time for Errands? There's a Club for That
The holidays are the busiest time of year and there are about a million places you need to be at one time. Luckily, there’s a solution! The Falcon Club is a Capital Region car service providing members the opportunity to only pay for service when they use the vehicle. You can be a passenger and arrive in style or you can have them run errands for you. Using their mobile app, website, or email you can reserve your ride along with your return trip (if required). Plus, they only charge per ride and not the time in between your rides, like other car services do.
A key differentiator continues to be their professional drivers, they are employees of Falcon Club (shout-out to our awesome driver, Steve!) and drive premium vehicles owned and maintained by the company. Their drivers follow all CDC sanitation guidelines to ensure the safety and health of their passengers. Each and every vehicle is thoroughly cleaned between every single ride. Membership is currently free and sign-up is super easy.
But the best part is is that you don’t have to utilize their service just for getting around the Capital Region, you can even arrange to have your curbside pickup orders picked up by The Falcon Club! Upstate Social had the chance to try it out for ourselves to see how it works!
Download the Falcon Club App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Select your drop-off location.
Select your ride of choice - we chose the BMW X5.
In the ‘Notes’ section, write where you want the driver to stop to pick up your orders.
We stopped at Fort Orange General Store to pick up our online order, ordered lunch from Cardonna’s Market, and had our groceries picked up from Whole Foods!
And schedule your ride!
After that, we received a notification of our assigned driver, Steve and we were able to track the car throughout the entire process. We even received updates from our driver regarding the stops he was making. Within one hour, Steve showed up at our house with everything complete! The process was SO easy and saved us SO much time. Who wants to go to the grocery store nowadays anyway?!
The Falcon Club has also introduced their Restaurant Network, a group of restaurants located throughout the Capital Region that have joined forces with them to provide not only transportation, but also dining opportunities and benefits, including discounts, free appetizers, and more!
