Reasons to Hire a Limo Whether You Live in Coventry Or California

I'm from the city of Coventry, spiritual home of Jaguar and many other automotive manufactures. Having worked in the motor industry for years, I'm interested in all forms of transport, which got me to ask the question; "What reasons would anyone have, to hire a limo in Coventry, or anywhere for that matter?"

Initially, hiring a limousine may seem extravagant, but when you look a little closer things start to make sense. When celebrating something special like a birthday, anniversary or a wedding, you want to share the moment with your family and friends. In today's hectic lifestyle, everyone seems to live their own life, so spending time in a group is precious.

Then consider the practicalities; organizing an event isn't easy, it doesn't matter whether you are arranging transport for a day trip, or wanting to arrive at a specific destination at a set time, traveling together has so many benefits;

- Everyone will arrive at the same time, nobody will get lost.
- The party and excitement starts the moment you're picked up.
- Nobody has to worry about making their own arrangements.
- Everyone can have a drink to toast the celebration.

Having looked at the practical aspects, lets consider the emotional side;-

Our media is fascinated by celebrity and on a daily basis we now share in the lives of the rich and famous, watching through magazines, internet forums and TV shows. Limousines are part of that celebrity world and hiring a limo evokes fantasy, glamour and mystery. Whenever a limousine comes to a stop, its natural curiosity to watch and see if anyone famous gets out. Dark windows create an air of mystery. Have you ever wondered who's inside the vehicle?

The blackened windows hide the glitz of the interior, where specialist coach builders have designed sumptuous seating and integrated the latest technology to create ceiling to floor light shows with sound systems that will amaze.

What style of limousine can you choose? Although Coventry is the heart of the motor industry in the UK, limousines tend to be American; Traditional Lincoln limos seat 8 people, available in white or silver, provide that touch of elegance for weddings and anniversaries. For larger parties consider the Ford Excursion Monster Jeep which seats 12 people and the super stretched Hummer H2 which can seat 16. (The largest limousine in the UK).

Large 'party' vehicles are the perfect accompaniment to an office outing, popular destinations being the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Ascot as well as other local race courses such as Stratford and Warwick Races. Revellers nights are also popular, taking groups between Coventry and Broad Street in Birmingham, where VIP night club entry and queue jumping arrangements can be made.

Stag and Hen parties tend to travel further, taking advantage of the party atmosphere and excitement that the champagne, light show and sound system creates.

It's so important that any limousine you hire looks the part and is in perfect condition, everyone wants to record the moment with a photograph. So check that any limo you hire will be valeted before picking you up and guaranteed to turn up well in advance of the scheduled time.

Nobody wants the additional stress of wondering if the transport will turn up in the build up to a wedding, party or flight transfer. A recent story I'd like to share concerns a group of youngsters from Sidney Stringer school , who wanted to hire a limo for their end of year school prom. After phoning to view the vehicle, they walked nearly five miles from the city centre, before getting lost and asking for directions. Coventry Limo Hire, which is a family run business based in Allesley, sent a limo out to collect them, look round the vehicles and then gave them a ride back into Coventry city centre, (as they had no money). Those kids hired a black Hummer to turn their dream into reality and by coincidence a photograph was published in the Coventry Telegraph showing them arriving at their school prom.

So limousines hold many surprises and it doesn't really matter where you live. Whilst Coventry has many brilliant places to visit, hiring a limo anywhere in the world is as much about how you arrive, as where you arrive

Just make sure when you hire a limo you ask a few basic questions as not all companies offer the same level of service.

Always check that the vehicle you order is the one you will get and ask for a guarantee that the pick up time will be honoured and that the vehicle will be clean when it arrives.

Choosing the Right Limo Company For Your Needs

Looking for a limousine company that is right for you can be a daunting task when you survey the many companies in the marketplace. Here are tips in interviewing and find the right limo company for your transportation needs. When shopping for the right limo for a special occasion or a luxurious ride to a special event, the task can be daunting. There are a lot of limo companies in the marketplace and while they offer state of the art vehicles, it is important to find the right company that fits your needs.

It is time consuming to separate the good from the bad companies. Here are a few tips for hiring a Chicago O'Hare limousine for a pick up and delivery in style or hiring an Orland Park limousine for a wedding or graduation.

-- First impressions are always important. Make a note of how you are treated when making your initial inquiry. A trustworthy, quality company will be courteous and accommodating.

-- Ask for referrals from friends and family.

-- Ask the limousine company for references. Once you have information, take the time to check them out.

-- Check the internet for reviews of the company. Disgruntled customers may post reviews.

-- Make sure you have a complete signed contract, stepping out details regarding what is covered in their terms of service and what is not covered.

-- Make sure the company honors rates and discounts.

-- Check on the limousine company's insurance liability coverage.

It is just as important to be the perfect client. Be courteous, respect the driver and tip accordingly. Keep the limo neat and clean. While there may be tales of bad limo companies, the companies have tales about unruly, boisterous, unmanageable clients.

Limousines and Limo Information

We've all seen the rich and famous getting out of limousines, and that stigma is something that stays with us when we think of these individuals, and consider their status in our society. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs; "respect from your fellow man," is something that humans often desire. Perhaps, this is a lot of what limousines are all about.

Still, for the very rich and famous, limousines are nothing special, they are only transportation, just like someone who is rich who flies around in first class or in their own private jet. For those in the middle class, being able to ride around in a limousine is a special event, something that they savor, and experience they look forward to, and one they never forget.

When writing articles about limousine rentals or when you are writing for the online audience, a local newspaper, or a magazine; you must consider that a good many of the readers will be middle class, and aspire to be in the upper class one day. Being able to put them into that experience while reading the article is what it is all about, and that's not as easy as it sounds.

This is why I recommend to most article authors who write limo articles to describe the ambience, the lighting, the luxurious seats, the music, the smooth ride, and a large number of onlookers watching as you drive off into the sunset. This is what the readers want, and if you deliver that feeling, you will find that your articles will be read, enjoyed, and even purchased by the publishers of magazines. I hope you will please consider all this.
