Enjoying the Journey

Sometimes when people buy a new car, they think more about gas mileage and resale value than they do about their own experience. Unfortunately, if you overlook your own personal enjoyment, you might end up driving a car that you hate for a lot longer than you want to. I have bought and sold several cars over my lifetime, and I can tell you that I have the most fun with a car when I really stop to think about what I am looking for. My website is designed to help you to decide what type of car will work for you—so that you can enjoy the journey.

3 Tips For Getting The Most Out Of An Airport Limo Ride

If you're planning a trip out of town, why not travel from the airport to your hotel in style? Renting a limo for hours is pricey, but a limo shuttle from airport to hotel is usually pretty affordable, and it will allow you to get a little taste of luxury, even if you spend the rest of your trip taking cabs or using a rental car. Here are a few tips that will help you get the most out of a limousine trip from the airport.

Take a Limo When You Have a Crowd

There's little point engaging the services of a limo when you're on your own unless you just like to travel in style. But when you're traveling with a group, renting a limo can actually be a better value for your money. Most cab services charge by the mile, so you can end up paying more based on the route they choose. When you hire a limo you have it for a specific amount of time (or from one specific point to the next, such as airport to hotel) and you pay for that time or point to point trip, regardless of mileage.

That means that you can actually save money by opting for a limo when you're taking a trip with the whole family or when you're  meeting business associates at the airport. Plus, if you have someone with you that you want to impress, limousine service is a good bet.

Negotiate for Extras

Chances are good that you won't get much wiggle room if you try to negotiate the hourly price of the limo. However, if you can't resist haggling for a bargain, you might be able to have some extras thrown in for free or at a reduced price.

Email a few different limo companies before you book for a full list of the amenities they offer. Snacks, beverages, and alcohol, are all pretty standard amenities. Some limousine services also let you choose between specialty vehicle models. Are you dying to ride in a Bentley, or would you rather take a ride in a Hummer limo? Once you pinpoint a limo company that has the amenities and extras you want at a price close to the range you're looking for, call and book the ride. If you call and speak to a live person, you can ask if there are any deals, free upgrades, or discounts that you can take advantage of.

Don't Forget to Tip Your Driver

Tipping is a good idea if you plan on using the same limo service again during your trip – drivers remember passengers that tip well, and a poor tip can affect future service. For an airport to hotel shuttle limo, a standard tip is about $10 to $20. Tip on the higher side if your driver has to help you with lots of bags. If you've decided to hire a limo to squire you around for the whole day instead of just a shuttle limo, then your tip should be in the $50 to $100 range instead.

Limousine rides aren't just for proms and weddings. If you haven't been taking advantage of local limo services when you fly, it's time to give it a try. Call a limousine service, like LAX limo, to schedule your airport limo shuttle. You'll be glad that you did.
