Comments on: How to Behave During a Limousine Ride

on 12/31/2006 As the driver of both celebrities and the public for 15 years here are my tips. If your driver tells you his name use it. Don't call him "Dude" or "Driver" unless you don't care about him offering his best service. If you get in the limo and start pressing all the buttons you are telling the world (and your driver) that you've never been in a Limo before. Though the Tip is often on the bill the Limo Companies often monkey with the ammount, shorting the driver. They live and die by the cash they see so if you are able offer a cash tip even if it's small. Tell the chauffeur "I know the tip is on the Bill but get a coffee or dinner or a Lexus on me." Finally do not expect the driver to break the law or allow you to break the law. Their car and their licsense ARE their job so asking them to drive fast because you are late or find you drugs or alcohol are bad ideas. I once had young film stars run from the police back to the limo and order me to drive away. They were shocked when I waited on the police and unlocked the doors. The limo is not a foreign embassy or a church offering sanctuary. The good news is that if you treat your chauffeur with respect, there is nothing they won't do for you. We know everything about everything and if given the chance can make your evening magical.

on 12/31/2006 Please, little girls, you are not hot, cute or sexy when you SCREAM at the top of your tiny little lungs out the top or windows of the limo.
You are annoying little children to all who see and unfortunately hear you.
Have your own little fun with your friends...no need to share with us "less fortunate" pedestrians.
(Plus, I will dial 911 and report what "sounds like an attack on a female" if I am in bed trying to sleep!)

on 5/7/2007 When hiring a limousine service there some things you should be aware like: always compare prices in relation with the expected service.
Always check out the year (2-3 years old are the best), make and model of the limousine.
Do not be tricked by the price of the advertisements, as many companies hide extra prices.
The most simple and standardized limousine service will have the limousine, driver and beverages.
When it comes to the driver, make sure that the service provider will provide a uniformed driver with proper licence and experience. to see more tips see for example http://www.booklimo.co.uk/
