At NLS Limo, we love football, and the excitement is building around here as we prepare for another season of accommodating football fans with our Bay Area limousines and outstanding customer service. One of the rites of fall is getting together with friends and family, icing down everyone’s favorite beverages and heading to Oakland Coliseum or Candlestick Park for the game. Whether you and your friends and family members arrive early and tailgate like pros or arrive just in time to grab a beverage and find your seats before the kickoff, why not make this year’s season opener extra special by renting a Bay Area limo for the game?
A Volvo Limousine? Industry Watchdogs Say One is in the Works
For a very long time, a few household names recognized around the world have dominated the limousine manufacturing business. Names such as Lincoln, Cadillac, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce, Maybach, BMW and a few others come to mind as leaders in the industry. In recent years, the rising popularity of custom limousines in San Francisco and most other markets has led to some newcomers in the field such as Hummer, Ford Expeditions and Excursions, Lexus, Chrysler and other brands known more for their utility than their luxury.
Do You Need a Limo Outside the Bay Area? Call NLS Limo and Have Us Make All the Arrangements!
Even our oldest and most familiar customers often overlook the fact that the NLS in NLS Limo stands for “Nationwide Limousine Service.” Although we are primarily a Bay Area limo service, we have professional contacts throughout the country and frequently accommodate our clients by helping them make limo reservations with affiliated limousine services in other markets. This is one of the many services that we provide for our clients, and our business customers traveling to other cities on business trips especially appreciate it.
San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: Fisherman’s Wharf
There’s an inside joke among San Franciscans concerning Fisherman’s Wharf: the only time they visit this unapologetic tourist district with its kitschy shops, restaurants and attractions is when they are entertaining guests from out of town. There’s no doubt that Fisherman’s Wharf is a major tourist destination. The rows of motor coaches parked nearby are a dead giveaway. However, many San Franciscans’ love/hate relationship with this one-of-a-kind San Francisco neighborhood has a lot more love than they’d ever admit. For people-watching and a fantastic variety of high-quality street food, you can’t beat the Wharf. Beyond the obvious tourist traps, Fisherman’s Wharf does have some fun and redeeming features.
San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: Nob Hill
For many years, San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood has been home to some of the city’s finest hotels, shops, restaurants and other businesses catering to the area’s well to do. Its position literally on the top of Nob Hill made it the perfect location for 19th Century barons of industry to build their stately mansions. The rich loved Nob Hill for the unobstructed views in each direction, easy access to Downtown and the Financial District and, most of all, its distance from the noise, crime, funk and other undesirable aspects of the waterfront.
“Green” Limo Service Ordered to Pay Tips to Chauffeurs
A court has ordered an environmentally friendly limo service based in Cambridge, MA to pay its chauffeurs $75,000 in a lawsuit settlement. PlanetTran, a limo rental service in the Boston area, apparently cared more about establishing its “green” credibility than it did about paying its drivers an entirely different kind of green, the tips the chauffeurs had earned by transporting the limo service’s guests. The drivers filed a class-action lawsuit against the limo rental service, claiming that PlanetTran had violated state law by collecting tips and keeping them instead of disbursing them to drivers.
Are You Planning an Important Business Presentation? Rent Our 8-Passenger VIP Corporate Van and Prepare En Route!
San Francisco limo rentals for business are a very comfortable and affordable way to get to important meetings, pick up clients at the airport, reward key employees with golf outings and other events and many other business transportation needs. While our Bay Area business limos are very comfortable, our clients have told us that they aren’t the best vehicles for working while on the road. At NLS Limo, we value our clients’ input. When they have something to say about our service, selection or any other aspect of our business, we listen intently.
