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!

The Lincoln MKT – A Step Up In Luxury

The Lincoln Town Car, in all of its various incarnations was (and still is) a beautiful example of luxury transportation.  It largely became the standard luxury sedan for the entire limousine industry.Sure, the Cadillac XTS is also a worthy competitor, but Lincoln has not given up in the least.  The Lincoln MKT – referred to as a luxury crossover vehicle – has now taken the prize of the most popular stretch limousine in recent customer surveys.  Stylish lines and amazing interiors are just two reasons.

We have sedans and stretch versions, in black and white.  They are extremely roomy inside, and appointed with everything you need for a great night out.  High-end stereos, fiber optic and LED lighting, bar and more.  The only problem we have is keeping them on the lot!

 

So if you’d like to check out the Lincoln MKT yourself, give us a call, or visit the Bay Area limousine fleet page of our website for more details and information.  Proms, weddings, nights on the town; all are ideal occasions to roll in the MKT.

Our Clients’ Favorite Limousines

Picking the right limousine for your occasion can take some research. There are a variety of factors that go into your decision, such as how many people are in the group, or what type of limo you desire – sedan, SUV, van or bus? And of course, what color?

Rather than go into all the variations, we’re going to concentrate on the ones that are the most popular with our clients these days. For many years, the Lincoln Town Car, and stretch versions based on the Town Car platform, were the king of the limousine industry. These days, the Town Car has been replaced by the Lincoln MKT. Larger, roomier and more stylish, the MKT has quickly become a top 3 choice for our customers.

Following the Lincoln MKT in popularity is the Cadillac Escalade. Larger capacity and more headroom, the Escalade is a favorite for weddings, Proms and Quinceaneras. Available in black or pearl white, the Escalade is sure to get the attention of onlookers as you cruise by.

Finally, the Mercedes-Sprinter Luxury Coach is consistently booked up every week. Customers love the fact that you can stand up and walk around, and at the same time enjoy all the amenities provided in a traditional limousine. There’s plenty of room for larger groups, and the ride quality and feel is superb.

Whichever limo you choose, you’re sure to enjoy your special day or event in any of these limousines. Pick your style, pick your color, and have fun! If you still aren’t sure which limo is right for you, or if you want to learn about other limousine choices, visit our website or give us a call. We’re here for you 24/7 365!
