Graduation Limousine Service Grads of 2012 have a bright future to look forward too. High school, college and university’s grads will soon be moving on to a new stage in their lives.  Whether heading to a pre-booked event at one of the city’s finest hotels or having a small local event with your friends, one option to consider is grad limousine service. This is a great way to travel with your closest friends and have a memorable & safe day/night out on the town.

When making your reservation you will be asked to provide the schedule for the day, contact information, credit card information & your payment preference (cash, credit card). Finding the right limousine that suits your party size and needs is important too. For grads who are still minors it is common to use a guarantor (usually your parents) to provide credit card information. When making your reservation make sure that a contract is signed, this provides you and company you book with piece of mind. Being that grad season is a very busy on demand time of year, it is common to find that limousine services will have minimum hour reservations for grads. Most services start at four or more hours and can easily go up to eight hours or more on select dates. It is very common for grads of different schools to celebrate on the same day resulting in a lot of limousine services being fully booked out with grad work + all the additional services they provide. Make sure that you get a clear outline of all costs from the company prior to confirming your reservation. Find out whether gratuity (tip) is included in the billing or paid separately. Find out what the cancellation policy is. Expect limousine services to charge a deposit to hold your reservation – deposits usually range between twenty five-fifty percent of the overall booking cost. Pricing is always important to clients. It is important to know what you want and what the costs will be when renting a limousine. Different limousine services will have a wide variety of rates and hourly minimums. For all day reservations discounts are usually available, as services appreciate clients who commit more. Finding the best deal is often about doing your research well ahead of time. Leaving it till the last minute is a recipe for disaster.

Most of the traditional style limousines are for groups under ten. Suv limousines, party buses and passenger vans are additional types of transportation used that can accommodate larger size party’s. Finding the right limousine is really a matter of personal preference. Some are looking for a big flashy party limousine that makes people say “WOW”; others want something more sleek, stylish & sexy. Most grads like to bring their own music of choice with them the night of. The best way to do this is have several members of your party bring different types of music. Make sure to find out what kind of music system is in the limousine you will be using, whether it’s CD player or mp3 player. If you want to watch some movies/videos during the ride, make sure that the company you book with has DVD player/televisions in their vehicles.  Lastly make sure that members of your party will be responsible when in the limousine. In cases where a client throws up or causes damage to a vehicle the charges can be very high and will include cleanup, repair, and loss of work which on a grad day can be up there. In the event of a member of your party having such an incident you or your parents (the credit card holder) will be held responsible.

Congratulations graduates we wish you all the best in 2012

Tuesday February 14^th 2012

Valentine’s Day is a day when people express their love for each other through acts of kindness, love and through the exchange of gifts.  The historical aspect of this day shows that it has roots dating back to 496AD and is linked to a now long forgotten religious martyr Saint Valentine.  The root of romantic love being associated to this date started in the high middle ages(11^th-13^th century) Europe. This is a time honoured tradition. For some people it is a day of joy and happiness, others watch the clock accompanied by a box of chocolates waiting for the 15^th to arrive! For some it a day to reflect on the love they have in their lives, for others it is a day to reflect on the love they wish they had in their lives!

Whatever the case it is important for individuals in loving relationships and for those who are alone to look out for themselves and each other.  Pampering yourself or a loved one on this day is a great way to appreciate you and them. Whether you plan to go for a walk, gift your significant other with a luxury spa package, or take them out to some of the cities hot spots for tapas, dinner, dancing, or nightclub touring while travelling in a luxury limousine, make sure you enjoy the occasion.  If you are alone the last thing you you want to do is sit and mope about it, get out and about with other friends who are single and enjoy the day. For those of you looking to do something extraordinary, consider whisking your loved one away to a beautiful location like Whistler, or heading to the airport via limousine and jetting off to an island paradise, an exhilarating romantic getaway that they will never forget. Being that this date is not a holiday, many choose to celebrate it the weekend before or the weekend after.  Gentlemen remember when women say this day is not important, do not believe them!  Bare minimum make sure you have flowers, and a unique card, make them feel special. Love does not have a price tag and Love should not be limited to one day! Remember to tell your friends, family and loved ones how important they are year round. Life is short.  Cherish yourself and your loved ones.
