Ahead of February 14th this year, Addison Lee is running a special [Valentine's Day car service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bliss-x-alto) that it describes as: "one-part date, one-part rescue service."

The service is formally known as CupidCab and it provides passengers with a tour of London's most romantic stops, including the South Bank, Piccadilly and Primrose Hill from the brand's fleet of S or E Class [Mercedes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love) vehicles. Throughout the 90-minute romantic ride, passengers are treated to luxurious chocolates and champagne from Prestat and [Moët](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-imperial). The service was specifically put in place for those who tend to forget Valentine's Day, as Addison Lee takes care to round out the experience by providing a bouquet of roses, a card and a pen.
