Prom season troubles...

Many who wish to book the stretch limousine of their choice might be disappointed if they call too late...there are just not enough limo's to go around. And especially the modern stretches like the Navigator, the Excursion and the Hummer stretch limousine are rare to find. So for all who booked in time: congratulations on booking your stretch! For all those who fish behind the net: there are still other option open for you! No, I am not talking about a horse and wagon, nor am I talking about your mom driving you around... I am talking about other luxury options, although no stretch... You can always book another, smaller limousine car such as a town car limousine or a SUV limousine. They are not stretches but they do come with driver and are state of the art. Their pricing is less and it might also be fun to come up to your prom not in a stretch, but with a row of cars! If you have say, a group of 14 people, you can hire 4 town cars instead of a stretch, so you arrive with your very own entourage! Or you can hire three big SUV's blocking the view from the limousines! So, no tears, you might just have to think a bit outside of the box, but your evening might just as well be very impressive!

Prom season!

It is almost prom season and that means lots of excitement for young people! Who is going to ask who? What dresses will the girls wear? How will we go...? The last question is our business...literally! Limousines are widely used for prom season, not only to get a ride in style to the prom itself but usually also to go for dinner before and maybe somewhere else afterwards. One custsomer told us he wanted to hire a limousine for 1 or 2 hours as a means of asking his girlfriend to the prom.
For limo companies prom season means lots of work! Not just many reservations that come in, but also to make sure all limousines are ready for that evening and there are no double bookings. For all of you who wants to book a limo for that evening: call in advance because the stretch limousines go fast! Make sure you ask for pricing since the prices are different in prom season. Another tip: pay your deposit to ensure you really get the stretch limousine that evening, to avoid a big disappointment! And one last thing: ENJOY that very special evening!

License and Insurance

Any reputable limousine company will have a license and therefore a commercial insurance. Not all limousines need to have a license though. In some areas within the city limits, no license is required. That in itself leaves the customer without any standard to know whether or not the busniess is run by trustworthy persons. for to get a license the owner needs to be registered and the car is up to date and inspected. Now most limousine cars are very well maintained since the essence of the business, so that is not too great a worry. Having no license though, might also mean that the owners/drivers have no commercial insurance, and that is a bigger worry. Especially for the customer. So be always aware whether or not the limousine you are hiring has a license. You can see this by looking at the stickers on the car window. And be certainly aware whether or not a limousine has an insurance that covers you as a passenger!

Corporate Limousines

Limousines are often used as executive transportation. This could be from and to the airport, or commuting between hotel and work. The sedan town car is often used for this, although the SUV's are becoming a more and more common sight at the limousine terminal at the airports... The advantage of the SUV limousine is that it can accomodate lot's of luggage and more people. So especially when companies are flying in project teams etc, the SUV is a wise choice. Often also, these limousines are hired when going on executive trips with a group, such a going to a conference, meetings, or simply going to golf together... In any case, always ask if there is an SUV available if you feel you might need it! It is a versatile yet luxurious, stylish and confortable limousine!

Limousine Hucksters

If you would like to book a limousine in, say Houston Texas (this is where we are located) you can easily turn to the local yellow pages online or merely 'google' the term limousine in google local. internet has made it very easy to find and book a limousine online for your evetn or your trip. especially coming from outside the city it is easy to book a car in advance to even be there waiting for you at the airport. If you wish to do so, than be aware about some things:

1) Only book with companies that have a Houston address and phone number. Houston telephone area codes are 713, 281 and 832. There are many hucksters, especially online, with a company having only a (800) phone number. They will sell at a seemingly very cheap prices. Afterwards however they will try to re-sell your booking to a local company. Unfortunately, customers have been ripped off with no recourse by these people who may not even be located inside the USA. The internet address could be anywhere. Be especially aware when they do not provide you with ANY physical address! Even if a company lists only a P.O. Box and no physical address in teh city, I would be careful.

2) If you use a directory that lists from A-Z be aware that many companies just put an 'A' in front of their busniess name in order to get higher in the listing. Eperience teaches that the truly serious and dependable companies either really start with an 'A' or can be found under decent names further down the line.

If you rather not look and go from here to find a reliable company, you can look at the links in our blogs and click either on of these.
