Limos for School Dances

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Homecoming dances are coming up and we are getting a ton of email requests for limos and party buses here in phoenix. This is the time of year when I try to give some good advice to students and parents looking for prices for  transportation to the school dance.

 

  1. Call 7-10 limousine companies in the phoenix metro area.
  2. Look for online reviews, previous clients are the best way to judge a company you are considering.
  3. When calling don’t focus on the price, ask about the company how long have they been in business, what year are the vehicles in their fleet, can you go down and take a look at the vehicles, etc…
  4. Use a credit card to make your reservation! If you don’t, ask yourself what your going to do if the company does not show up?
  5. Most reputable companies will have you sign a contract or terms and conditions agreement. This is good for both you and the company you have chosen. Everything should be in writing so you are all on the same page.

After you have made your calls and checked online reviews you should be down to a couple of companies. Ask yourself if the prices you had been getting and the pricing of the companies you have left to choose from are in line with the others. When you make these calls you should have a decent idea of the ballpark price.

 

If a price seems too good to be true (RED FLAG) If the company won’t let you see the vehicle (RED FLAG) If the company requires cash (RED FLAG) If you see a company with no reviews on line (RED FLAG)

 

Take you time and be diligent in your search because if you aren’t, or simply choose the cheapest limo company you may be disappointed when they don’t show up, or show up late, or show up in an old junky limo or party bus, or the driver shows up in a polo shirt and jeans, or any number of things. It happens more often than you may think and you will be the one who has to explain what happened to those kids and their parents.

 

Platinum Ride Limos & Party Buses has been in business for almost 10 years now. We have been ranked as a “TOP 10” operator almost that entire time. If you look online you are going to see a ton of great reviews from our past clients, I am not aware of any bad reviews online.

 

Google our name, (Platinum Ride Limousines Phoenix reviews or Platinum Party Bus phoenix reviews) and you can search through.

 

Everyone here wants the same thing, for our guests to have a great experience with us and we have been successful because of our dedication to the service we provide.

 

I hope you will give us the opportunity to serve you, we are gonna do a great job for you.

Limo Reality Show? Not Real At All

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

 I get a call from my brother last week and he tells me he saw a trailer on TRU TV for a reality show about LIMO BOB. Limo Bob is a character who owns a limo company in Chicago and he is crazy.

 

He is the Mr. T of our industry, gold chains and all. Well we watched it and I have to say it was one of the dumbest things I have ever watched on TV and I have 4 kids, I watch stupid stuff on TV all the time.

 TheLimoPosse

There were several story lines in the show that are just not believable. In every story Limo Bob’s wife rushes into his office and out of breath tells him there is a last minute occasion and the client needs a limo ASAP!!!

 

Like they are some kind of superhero Limo Company coming to the rescue.

 

Then he summons a driver and the LIMO BOB machine goes full throttle to make it to the last minute run. From that point craziness ensues, at one point a SWEET 16 birthday party trashes the limo and LIMO BOB comes to the drivers rescue and a fight breaks out where the stretch Chrysler 300 limo gets the windshield bashed in by the client and her dad with a baseball bat. LIMO BOB and his henchmen wrestle the clients and demand payment.

 

Another story line was a birthday party where clients booked an H2 Hummer Limo and it was full of cross dressers getting frisky with the driver. Hey, I don’t judge, money’s green no matter what you’re wearing or who you date, I always say.

 

This limo company even offers what they refer to as a “MIDGET MATRE’DEE” Which is a little person running up and down the aisle of the limo serving drinks.

 

I can tell you first hand that this business has thrown me for a loop over the years and I can spin you some limo stories you wouldn’t believe, but that show was totally over the top. This show makes limo guys look bad “NOT REALITY, ACTUALITY” is the TRU TV motto but there isn’t anything actual or real about it.

 

Call me and reserve a Phoenix limo and I’ll tell you a story that is real.

Brother Where Art Thou?

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

It is another hot July and that is when the mass exodus out of Phoenix begins. My brother Joey and I are stuck here running the limo biz.

 

Are you still stuck here too? Maybe you are boycotting California and staying in town? LOL

 

If you are looking for a great deal on a limo rental or party bus rental, now is the time to call Platinum Ride Limos & Party Buses. Our summer rates for limos rentals in Arizona and party bus rentals in Arizona are the lowest they will be all year.

 

If you are going to a concert, or hitting the clubs in Scottsdale get your group together and all pitch in for a limo night on the town.

 

Have a Stay-cation, enjoy all the great venues we have right here in town. We have great restaurants, clubs, and venues that also have great deals for all us locals.

 

 

We look forward to serving you and remember people that no matter who you are and what you do to live thrive and survive, there are still some things that make us all the same, you, me, them everybody, everybody!
