It’s Not Too Early to Start Thinking About Bay Area Limo Reservations for This Year’s Prom!
All you forward-thinking juniors and seniors who are thinking about making limousine reservations for this spring’s proms are on to something. The time to make your reservations and lock in your limousine or limousines of choice is now, before your first, second and third choices are reserved! With all the San Francisco limousine services in the area from which to choose, why should you choose us for your prom limo? Here are a few reasons that we feel separate us from all the other Bay Area limousine companies:
San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: Inner Sunset
If you’re traveling to the area and are looking for a truly unique San Francisco experience, it’s hard to top the city’s Inner Sunset neighborhood. Inner Sunset is not the place for sun worshipers; it is smack-dab in the middle of our fair city’s fog zone, and the fog shrouds this unique neighborhood day and night every month of the year. Bordered by Golden Gate Park on the north side and Vicente Street to the south, Inner Sunset is regarded by many San Franciscans as their favorite neighborhood in the city. They love its eclectic ethnic mix of shops and restaurants, its unique vibe and its unusual small-town feel in one of the world’s great cities.
Rental Rates for California Limousine Companies
Every limousine service in our state is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which issues licenses, investigates complaints and levies fines and civil actions against unlicensed companies. The CPUC mandates that limo companies must base their rates on time of use or vehicle mileage. It cannot be both, and limo services are expressly forbidden to charge on a per passenger basis. The only exceptions to the per passenger rule are the following:
Limo Companies That Bait and Switch Paint Us All in a Bad Light
Sometimes we discuss a topic that is a bit embarrassing because we want our guests to know what to look for when renting a limo in other markets. We also discuss unflattering aspects of the limo rental business because we like to point out that the vast majority of limo services are ethical businesspeople interested in taking good care of their guests. However, like businesses of all kinds, there are always a few limo services that make it harder for the rest of us. What are we talking about? We’re talking about limo companies that use bait and switch tactics on their clients.
New Bentley Limousine Wins Prestigious Gulf Connoisseur Award
The new and very shapely Bentley Mulsanne has received the “Best Limousine for the Red Carpet” prize at the glittering Gulf Connoisseur Awards ceremony. The annual event was held at the Armani Hotel in Dubai and featured many exceptional limos including the Maybach 57 and the Rolls-Royce Phantom, both runners-up to the Mulsanne.
“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.
Rent a Limo With Friends and Co-Workers This Holiday Party Season for Safe, Affordable Fun
While friends, families and employers are busy planning their upcoming holiday parties, you can do some planning of your own by renting a San Francisco limo to get you and yours from one party to the next. Everyone wants to have a good time at parties, but some of us tend to have too much fun and regret reaching for that last drink or two. You don’t have to rent a limo to get around during the holiday party season. There are plenty of cabs in the area. However, if you’ve ridden around in one recently, you know they are anything but comfortable and that cleanliness isn’t a priority. In addition, you can ride in a cramped, funky cab anytime. Since it’s the holidays, why not add some fun to the events? Why should you rent a limo from us this coming holiday season? Here are a few good reasons:
San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: Deco Ghetto
If the name “Deco Ghetto” seems more off-putting than enticing, then this funky, weird and eclectic San Francisco neighborhood may surprise you. Deco Ghetto, also called the Hub and Mid-Market depending on your demographic and how long you’ve lived in San Francisco, is a part of the city very much in transition. What were once empty storefronts are now trendy cafes, bars, coffee shops and trendy shops selling all sorts of things. The neighborhood derives its name from the profusion of furniture stores in the area selling, you guessed it, Art Deco furniture. Drawn to the area by cheap rents and a new crop of homeowners seeking nouveau home furnishings without the nouveau sticker shock, furniture retailers here have thrived, and the new name evolved with the neighborhood.
Taxi and Limousine Company Suspended for Operating Without Insurance
An English limousine and taxicab company will have a business license suspension for five days after authorities discovered the company had transported guests for more than a month without having the required insurance coverage. Officials in Ajax, England say representatives from Lincoln Taxi and Limousine deliberately deceived them by transporting guests in rental vehicles after they learned that the company had lost its coverage. The limo company reportedly lost its insurance coverage on June 27 after receiving only one day of notification from the provider.
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.
