Need a Break from Your Routine? Rent a Bay Area Limo!

By San Francisco Limousine Specialist on October 2, 2012

Alchemists used to say that they could transform lead into gold. Their claims may have been dubious, but we know a surefire way to transform the mundane into the extraordinary! Rent a San Francisco limousine from us, and treat your significant other to a limo ride down the lovely California coast. If you’re both tired of your routine and you could use a break to rejuvenate your lives, here is a proven recipe for success:

  • Rent a San Francisco limousine
    We have many different options for you, including stretch limos, hot tub limos, classic cars, antique Rolls-Royce limos and many more. We’re confident that you’ll find the perfect limo for the two of you from our huge fleet of luxury vehicles.
  • Have us stock your favorite beverages
    It’s hard to beat champagne for these getaways, but we will gladly stock and chill your favorite alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for your lovely trip along the coast.
  • Lay in some provisions
    Fruits, cheeses, antipasti trays, chocolates and other finger foods seem to work best for idyllic afternoons like these. It’s usually a good idea to avoid Philly cheesesteaks, monster burritos and other ambitious (and messy) undertakings, but go with your instincts on this one.
  • Arrange for a couple days off
    Taking a couple weekdays off is a very good idea for these excursions. The whole point is to take a break from the everyday, right? Create your own weekend in the middle of the week with one day spent enjoying each other’s company in the back of your San Francisco limo and the other spent strolling around your favorite neighborhoods in our lovely city!
  • Get ready to be happy
    If it has been a while since you did something fun and spontaneous together and you have forgotten why you get up and go to work every morning, rent a limo from us to rediscover why the two of you fell in love in the first place!

Renting a San Francisco limousine and taking a day or two to ride down the coast is a very effective antidote to the blahs. If you need a prescription for this serious but easily treatable condition, call us today at 800-339-8936 to speak with one of our clinicians. It may not be covered by your health insurance, but it is very affordable and has an incredible success rate. Call us at NLS Limo today to find out why we have become the Bay Area’s premier limousine service!

Study Finds Toyota Prius Preferred By Wealthy Californians

By San Francisco Limousine Specialist on September 11, 2012

A recent study conducted by car-price-information company TrueCar.com cross-referenced tax data and auto registrations in California’s ten wealthiest zip codes and found some surprising results. The website based its research on more than 1,000 tax returns in each of the ten zip codes and found that Toyota Prius hybrids ranked very favorably with luxury Mercedes-Benz models as the most popular cars with rich buyers.

TrueCar.com analyst Kristen Andersson suggested that a new segment of the car market may be emerging, the eco-luxury segment.

"For affluent buyers who live in places where environmental concerns reign supreme, the Toyota Prius is the ultimate status symbol in eco-luxury," she said in a recent interview.

How popular are Toyota Prius hybrids? Consider that Prius hybrids are the most popular vehicle in Century City, which is California’s fifth-wealthiest zip code, where residents report an average income of $751,000 per year. The next three most popular cars owned by people in that zip code are Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans, C-Class sedans and BMW 328 sedans, respectively. Closer to our base in San Francisco is Ross, CA, the tenth-wealthiest zip code in the state, where residents earn an average of $497,000 annually. The Prius reigns supreme in Ross also, followed by Mercedes E-Class and GL-Class sedans, respectively.

Car buyers from all income levels have turned the Toyota Prius hybrid into one of the best sellers in the country. Through the first seven months of 2012, Toyota has nearly doubled Prius sales over the same period the previous year with nearly 143,000 hybrids sold.

Here at NLS Limo, we understand why Prius hybrids are so popular. They may not be as roomy or comfortable as the luxury vehicles in our fleet, but they are very reliable, consume very little fuel and are perfect for running errands in the Bay Area. If you are one of the many people in the Bay Area who doesn’t own a car but likes to rent one occasionally for day trips, shopping and other uses, call us today at 800-339-8936 to ask about our San Francisco Prius Hybrid rentals. Our Prius rentals are very affordable and are perfect for getting around the city when you need your own transportation for a morning, afternoon or the whole day!

Pack a Picnic Lunch, Rent a Bay Area Limousine and Go Whale Watching When You Need a Change of Pace

By San Francisco Limousine Specialist on June 8, 2010

If the walls of your office are closing in and it has been a while since you did something spontaneous, take a day off, rent a San Francisco limo, pack a picnic lunch and go whale watching. The virtues of working hard, delayed gratification and other selfless acts are well documented, and there is no doubt they are practical and admirable character traits. However, the grind of doing the same thing day after day can wear down even the most disciplined worker. If the prospect of another Wednesday in the cube farm is simply too much to bear, take a personal day, sick day, mental health day or manufacture a euphemism of your own and get the heck out of the office to do something fun!

Rent a San Francisco Limousine on a Weekday and Give Yourself a Mini Vacation

By San Francisco Limousine Specialist on May 24, 2010

No matter how much you love your job and your co-workers, it is human nature to look forward to the weekends. Weekends are when your time is your own and you can spend it on meaningful activities such as manufacturing reasons to avoid the house and yard work that you know needs to get done. It is also human nature to fall into routines. We get up, go to work, come home, eat, sleep, get up, go to work, etc. There’s nothing wrong with routines, but they are boring. Boring and repetitive. But there is good news: it is human nature to rebel against boredom and repetition. It’s easy to transform a Tuesday and Wednesday into a Saturday and Sunday if you’re willing to defy your routine.
