What Type of Limo Do I Need? (part 1)

While we at Bay Area Limousine eat sleep and breath limousines, we realize that most of you out there do not. And as a result, often times our prospective customers are a little bit confused over what type of limousine will be best for them, or their particular group or event. So, we will try to go through the various types of limousines we offer, and hopefully shed some light on the subject of choosing your perfect limousine.

In the above picture, you can see some general examples of several limousine types, and the differences between them. Starting from the left, you will see a white Hummer H2, two different Cadillac Escalade super stretch SUV limos, a 24-passenger party bus and 32-passenger party bus, and a Chrysler 300 stretch limo. While any of these vehicles could be referred to as a “limousine”, they are all quite different – which you can clearly see. Which one do you need? Read on…

 

The limousine above is a 14 passenger Cadillac Escalade stretch SUV limousine. This is the preferred limousine for weddings, bachelor parties and more. It’s a stylish yet not over the top white, with plenty of room to move around.

Next we have another 8-passenger Lincoln MKT limo, only this one is pearl white, and has no 5th door. These are also used for weddings, but are also very popular for nights out on the town, concerts, proms, tours, pretty much anything. In general, these are one of our most popular choices of vehicles, and probably what most people think of when they think “limousine”.

Next we have a Hummer H2 super stretch SUV limo. Depending on the configuration, and the size of the passengers, these can hold up to 20 people. We have them in white and black, and they make a great limo for things like wine tours, birthday parties, or taking the office out to a fancy dinner!

We’ll go into more limousine types and their uses in our next post. Keep an eye out for part 2!

Business Travel with a Car Service

Any traveling business professional will tell you, staying productive on the road can be difficult to do.  With varying transportation environments, including taxi cabs, buses, airplanes and airports making productive travel so difficult, finding the focus and quiet time to accomplish work tasks can be nearly impossible.

Some may suggest the car rental option, but with that you’re facing navigating unfamiliar roads and highways, parking, and of course, a complete loss of productivity while you’re doing the actual driving.

Prep time for meetings is of the utmost importance, and doing it in a timely fashion can be difficult, due to tight time tables and various locations.  And while public transportation and/or ride shares may work for airport or hotel rides, booking a chauffeured luxury vehicle is the only way to go when it comes to the corporate road show.

 

A limousine is an amazingly productive mobile office.  You’ll have peace and quiet to read reports, look over meeting notes, practice your presentations, and if you need it… take a nap.  You’ll be riding in a comfortable seat, with no worries about traffic or navigation.

And should you need to make some phone calls (and what executive doesn’t?) doing so in a cab or bus isn’t going to go well with all the noise.  And don’t count on privacy either.

A luxury sedan or limousine gives you the privacy, space and quiet environment needed to make phone calls without concerns of someone overhearing, or outside distractions you’d find with public transportation.  Relax in the back with the privacy partition up, and do what you need to do before your next meeting.

With a large fleet of sedans, SUVs and stretch limos, you’re sure to find the ideal vehicle for your budget and space needs.  Take a look at our Bay Area limousine fleet page to get started, then submit a free online price quote.  From executive SUVs to Lincoln MKTs and Town Cars, we’ve got you covered.

Fall & Winter Travel

Summer is long gone, and Halloween is behind us.  And this week is Thanksgiving.  And before you know it, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years Eve will be here.  And without a doubt, this time of year means you, your friends and family will be traveling quite a bit.  Some of that travel will be by plane, probably trains and of course, automobiles.

Thanksgiving dinner and festive Holiday parties will be happening throughout the season, so you know you’ll be busy.  And for the most part, these family gatherings and celebrations will involve “holiday cheer”.  And in those cases, no one should be behind the wheel – especially with all the additional holiday season traffic on the roads.

If you can arrange it, have a designated driver for these occasions.  But if that doesn’t work out, look to our professional chauffeurs who are ready and able to handle your holiday transportation needs.  We always have extra chauffeurs on staff during the busy holiday season because demand is always high.  You’ll have no concerns about traffic, parking, navigating, or drinking and driving.

We’re here for you 24/7 during the entire holiday season.  take a look at our Bay Area limo fleet, or give us a call.  Booking your limo early this time of year is definitely recommended.

Happy holidays!
