good limo business

In order to run a good limousine business, you not only need good and reliable drivers. you also need regular maintenance on all of your cars. To have your own reliable mechanical team at your company is ideal but far from reach for most companies. you can always find a reliable and trustworthy mechanic in the area and make a contract with him for service on all of your cars. If you have the luxury, have all cars lifted up each day for a daily inspection. you really do not want your driver to be pulled over by the police for a small thing like a broken tail light with your customer inside the vehicle! Bigger check ups need to be done regularly and your mechanic should be available to do immediate big mechanical repairs if needed! a car out of the fleet means you are loosing trips! besides mechanical maintenance, a good clean inside and out of the car after each trip should be done in order to keep your vehicles looking tip top. well, good mechanics, nice and clean cars on top of your reliable drivers: you can't loose!

Being a limousine driver...

As a limousine driver you need to do more than just drive a car. First of all, you need to know traffic, ways and shortcuts like your back pocket. In case of road work, traffic jams or accidents on the way, you still need to be able to get the customer on time at the destination. Fortunately, there is a good gimmick that can help: a gprs device that will tell you the way. it is a good investments for any starting driver, but be advised that such devices are only as good as the software they have. it is still advisable to know the city you are driving in very well.
another aspect of being a limousine driver is that you have to have good people skills. customers come in all shapes and colors and not to mention all different kinds of moods. Maybe one customer just had a grueling day at the office, or he/she just came from the most horrible flight you can imagine after already traveling for 20 hours, with a jetlag! understanding such situations and keeping in mind that a driver is there to calm down the customer, make him/her feel relaxed and welcome! sometimes, in case of a wedding, prom or birthday event, the driver needs to make sure the atmosphere is set for happiness and being jolly! in some cases a driver needs to be able to strike a conversation, having sincere interest in the customers and at other times the driver needs to understand that the customer just wants to be left alone. there are even times that a driver functions as a therapist: listening and giving the customer a chance to vent whatever it is that is bothering him/her. at the end of course, the customer goes home and does the driver goes on to the next customer. the task is completed and ends with the customer exiting the car. yet, sometimes, small gestures and events can have a lasting effect.........

Succesfully traveling in a limousine

The title may seem a bit odd, but there are some points to be made here. Firstly, there are only so many people fitting into a limousine, even one if those 'stretchy' cars. The standard is 6 or sometimes 8 persons. So be advised to hire more limo's if you have a bigger party or a limo bus.
Secondly, the driver is only as good as the directions you give him. Thirdly, it is important to give the driver correct information such as your flight number and airline. Believe it or not, it has happened that people gave the wrong address! Fourthly, remember that a limo has only limited space in the trunk, about as much as a sedan. If you have lots of luggage, it might be wise to hire a SUV or a luggage trailer, in order to avoid paying for a limousine and ending up sitting uncomfortably on your luggage. If these points are kept in mind, traveling in a limousine becomes relaxing as it should be!

From our drivers: Being late!

One of the worst things a driver can do is show up late for work. for others this might be bad and will result in a reprimand from your boss, but for us drivers it means someone will be late for work or even worse: for a flight! in case of special events, it means the bride might be late for her wedding! as drivers are merely human beings, being late may happen, especially when driving customers late at night and early in the morning the next day. Despite all precautions: double alarms, spouses waking you up, bosses calling to make sure you are on your way in time, it may occasionally happen that a driver is late! deservedly, tips might be withheld. yet, please try to understand: drivers are only humans too! they are not machines, so they might be late in rare cases, whether due to weather conditions, traffic or oversleeping.... although that does not give them an excuse for being late, please give them a break now and than and ask why they are late? it would be gracefully appreciated! we drivers do our best to be there at your service!

Planning your wedding limousine: tips!

If you are planning a wedding, wether it be your own or someone else's, you are busy enough with all the things to be thought of! So you want to minimize the stress and get things done as easily as possible. Here are some tips to make sure your wedding limo business is organized easily...

#1 Plan in advance: very important! Book your wedding limo about 9-12 months in advance so you are assured of a limousine and a good driver.

#2 Go and view the car you will be renting. Do not be satisfied with a bad looking car: you have to be excited to see the car you will be getting!

#3 Take a receit for your booking and even see if you can talk to the staff, this will give you a good idea about how business is done in that company.

#4 Ask about special packages for weddings, such as a just married sign, red carpet, flowers etc.

#5 Consider how many people fit in the limousine. Normally, about 8 people will fit in a stretch, but if people are wearing formal wear and the bride a daunting wedding dress, you might want to consider maximum 6 people in a stretch. In that case it is safer and better to book 2 limousines for that day, so everyone fits in easily.

#6 And last but not least, pay a deposit for your booking. Your limousine is not really booked untill you do and of course, get a receit for that deposit!

Once you are done with the booking, you have one thing less on your to do list to worry about! Have a great wedding!
