The Perfect Post-GFC Outing with a Chauffeured Limousine Service

Without a doubt, many people have gone through the most challenging twelve months in business history. There are few businesses out there that have been able to sail along without hard decisions, hard work and have had tough returns this last year.

The tide is turning! Slowly albeit, but we at The Limousine Line have noticed a firming up of forward bookings for our limousine service. Promisingly though, it is the recreational and celebratory bookings that have come to the fore after a year of seeing so few.

Let’s face it; if you have been slaving at your business to get it through this last twelve months, there is a BIG chance that you’ve made some pretty good decisions to be contemplating a Limousine or Chauffeured Car to a special day or night’s celebration.

Your long suffering Wife, partner or business colleagues have also gone without the finer things in life for a while whilst business settled and has begun to improve. This is an opportunity to acknowledge the support that these key people have provided you with a chauffeur service.

Allow the personal transport professionals at The Limousine Line to help you plan this day where you and those you choose to share it with acknowledge the challenges the Global Financial Crisis has thrown at your business.

What chauffeur service will you decide on? Will it be a day at the races, Theatre or Winery tour? Or maybe a relaxed long lunch at one of Sydney’s spectacular restaurants, knowing that your car and driver will be there for your party when you decide to kick on to dinner elsewhere!

Your Chauffeur will provide you and those with you, the peace of mind of knowing that their comfort, safety and next destination is confirmed with The Limousine Line handling all the transport requirements.

So often a great day or night out ends with the unpleasant memory of struggling to get a cab home. Often once in a Taxi you quickly wish you never had gotten in. There are many stories of hellish Taxi rides in Sydney. Why put a great time at such risk?


If its just 2 or 200 people that need a post GFC celebration – call The Limousine Line and we will provide you with personal transport and Sydney Limousine Hire options.

Why a Corporate Limousine Service Will Save You Money

I often find myself waiting at Sydney airport for clients to arrive. Monday mornings are the worst. My clients always leave it to the latest flight possible in order to get to their destination. When I or one of my drivers is on the job, it isn’t a problem. We are ready and waiting for them and whisk them away from the madness which we have left behind.

I have on many occasions watched people in the taxi line looking at their watches, with concerned facial expressions.

FACT: By the time the person at the end of the taxi line gets into a car, my client is already at the office.
Business travelers to Sydney often find issues with getting around our large city. With the many business hubs located around greater Sydney, it is imperative that they have a reliable transport solution.

Executives who value their time look for an all-in-one solution to their transport issues.

  • They don’t want to waste their time navigating through Sydney roads
  • They don’t want to be waiting in a taxi queue or worse still, waiting for a taxi that never arrives!
  • They cannot rely on the public transport network.

SOLUTION: Personal chauffeured transport. A corporate limousine offers more than airport pick-ups and drop-offs. The smart executive will find many reasons to hire a chauffeured limousine and make the most of his or her corporate limousine service.

Why are Corporate Limousines popular?

Convenience: The main advantage of hiring a corporate limousine is convenience. Corporate limousine services offer pick-ups and drop-offs at any location at any time. Corporate limousines can be used not only for business meetings, functions and site inspections, but also for sightseeing during off-hours. A car and chauffeur can be hired on a “As-directed” hiring. That is, the driver stays with the client for as long as he or she is needed.

Reliability
: The credibility of a limousine service is based on being reliable. Time is a valuable commodity in business, which is why the business executive relies on chauffeured transport to provide excellent and timely transportation. A good limousine operator will ensure enough time has been allocated to get to their client’s flight or meeting. Should a client be hosting guests, they can rely on their limousine operator to pick them up and deliver them to their meeting place in a timely manner. Monitoring flight schedules ensures that the vehicle and driver are at the airport when the client arrives either on a earlier ETA or whether there has been delays.

Service
: The needs of a business traveler are different than the tourist traveler. The best limousine companies understand the mindset and specific needs of the traveling executives.


Price
: many think that hiring a limousine service will blow the corporate budget. Given the luxury, convenience and reliability of a good corporate limousine service, hiring a limousine can be cost-effective. Many of my clients save on meeting venues as they are able to hold meetings in the car on the way to any destination.

Fleet Availability and Transport Broker
: Many operators will list vehicles available in their own fleet. However, does the limousine company have access to a variety of vehicles? Clients do not have to be limited in the range of vehicles available to them. A good operator will have access to ANY vehicle. Be it an executive sedan, mini bus, 60 seat coach, helicopters, water taxis.

The Limousine Line is a trusted name as a leading chauffeured limousine service in Sydney for over 14 years
