Today I will just give you some directions as to how to advertise for limousine companies. First off, advertise with your website and make sure your website is simple, clear and interesting. have a look at our website http://www.committrans.com/ and let us know what you think?
Secondly, you should consider investing some money (according to your budget) in advertising off and online. Thirdly, get some contacts with hotels etc, to bring you passengers, you might have to pay some commission to the person giving you the trips. and last but not least, have good contacts with other limousine companies and give each other trips if you are overbooked. that is it for today, very short, but think over it, for these are powerful tools.

Limousine Liability
No one likes to think of it, but unfortunately it happens: limo's that do not show up. There is really little you can do about it once it happens, other than a refund of the deposit you gave upfront. Limousine companies are not liable for any damages caused by a limo not showing. Here are some tips you can consider upfront though, to make sure there is more flexibility and less chances for a no show limo.
First off, choose a reputable limo company. Good companies will not overbook their limo's and drivers, giving them enough time to make it on time for their appointed pick-up. Keep in mind that cheap companies are not always the best ones.
Secondly, leave time in your schedule for errors or issues that might arrise. Just like any other car and driver, limo's can get flat tires and drivers can get lost. Leave time in your schedule that if something like this happens, you can correct it without having the whole event ruined.
And thirdly, in case something really goes wrong and the limo cannot make it at all and the company does not have another option or solution for you, have a back up plan for transportation. Just in case, so you will still be able to continue your plan or schedule.
On the bright side: problems of this kind hardly ever happen since drivers are well trained and familiar with the city/routes, the cars are well maintained and bookings and schedules are made well in advance. Yet, to be prepared for the unexpected won't hurt!

From our Drivers: Customer Service
Driving a limousine is all about providing service to the customers. We make sure there is something to drink for you, or a snack. We provide something to read or a friendly chat. Sometimes we are the ones smiling when it's pouring, offering you an umbrella. And sometimes we are the ones listening when you most need it. We are strangers, yet friends. We meet and we part, yet maybe meet again. We sure hope you are satisfied and come again!

Commuting, Commuting, Commuting
Limousine service is a luxury service, to give that extra to your special event. It has also been widely used by companies, to have their employees travel comfortably. This can range from commuting between work and home, or between work and hotel. Often it is used as a service to pick up and drop off employees from and to the airport. This way, the company ensures their employees getting in places on time and without hassle, especially if they are not familiar with the city. A limo driver will be on time, the car will be comfortable and there will be a certainty that there is transportation waiting for them. Employees will be more rested and relaxed and therefore more productive, especially when they are only in town for a few days. Corporate commuting has become widespread and is worth while considering for any company.

Recent Trends
It has been a while since we have been 'blogging' and we apoligize for that! We have been spotting some new trends in the limo business lately... first of all, we have been seeing mroe and more hummers and other suv's etc that have been elongated into a stretch limo. so now the customer has a choice between a classical limousine and a modern style limo. and of course there are always the real 'old-timers' for those who love the nostalgic look.... another trends we have been seeing is more and more business trips and airport pickups are being done in suv's and other four wheels drivers instead of teh normal corporate town cars. Even limo's for weddings events are becoming more and more suv's and preferably the latest models. so we see a very modern trend in the limo business and every self respecting limousine service should have at least one new suv on their fleet.....
