This is so powerful - watch this video!!  At first I thought there was too much emphasis on the accidents and gore and less about the drinking.  But then I thought again - people know how to have fun drinking.  People know too much about having fun drinking without thinking about the consequences. 

Please be safe this holiday season!

Happy New Year!! May your New Year be prosperous and filled with everything your heart desires!  New Year's Eve in Phoenix is sure to be a blast!

We at In The Scene Limousine hope that you will remember to no drink and drive this busy holiday night (or any night for that matter).  The DUI Task Force will be out ready to nab those drunk drivers- even just a few can put you over the legal limit!  It would be a horrible start to 2010 to be dealing with court costs, increased insurance and jail time if you are caught drinking and driving.

We just lowered our hourly rate for New Year's Eve.  Obviously this is a peak time for limo and party bus rentals so we are not running our 4-hour specials.  But we have reduced the pricing from what we have been quoting for the last month or so.  If you were on the fence about booking one of our beautiful limousines or party buses - give us a call now to see what great deals we are offering!  602-996-LIMO

Party Bus & Hummer limo with $5 Million in Coverage?

We just got off the phone with another well-known limo company owner in Phoenix.  He laughed and called us crazy for spending the money on $5 million in insurance coverage for our Hummer limos.  Why?  The law is that when you have 15 or more passengers you need to insure the vehicle for $5 million.  But company owners in Phoenix pretend that their Hummer limos only carry 14 passengers ever to their insurance guys and the DOT auditor.  And then sell their Hummer limos all day long as 20 passenger vehicles.

Frustrating.  When you have more passengers inside a vehicle - there should be higher insurance limits.  If 20 people, God forbid, were seriously injured in an accident in one of our vehicles, at least we have the peace of mind that we have the correct insurance coverage to protect the company and help pay for injuries, etc.

We know of at least one company in town selling their 22 passenger party bus with only $1.5 million worth of coverage.  Why the confusion?  Are they just playing games?  Why the cutting corners?  It is just that - these companies cut corners and then are able to offer lower pricing.  All at the expense of not protecting their precious cargo - their passengers on-board those Hummer limos and party buses

Ask your company you are booking with to show you their proof of coverage - and look for $5 million worth of coverage for 15+ passenger vehicles!

How to look at pricing for limos

I'm trying to plan our wedding (yeah!) and getting frustrated at the lack of information on-line regarding pricing.  I'm realizing that clients who are shopping for limos have it pretty easy.  There are many on-line sites where you can request a quote from multiple companies and get instant pricing. 

We also have our limo pricing right on our Prices page - along with listing the limo specials that we are running for this-weekend.  Easy - simple- transparent.  When we give you a price over the phone we quote an all-inclusive pricing.  Includes a 15% gratuity, includes a fuel surcharge and an administration fee.  All-inclusive.  Out the door pricing.  Sure if you want to tip more than the 15% that is appreciated and welcomed by the chauffeurs.  But only if they do a great job should they expect any extra tips.

Then you can take that all-inclusive pricing and break it down by head - great $726 out-the-door for a 20 person Hummer limo - that is $36.30 per person.  Pretty inexpensive when you consider the fun of all 20 of you in the awesome Hummer enjoying your cocktails with your I-pod pumping out your favorite tunes.

I'm shopping for a caterer for our wedding.  It's $32 per person - but then add 20% gratuity and then 10% for a delivery fee and then $3 per person for beverages and then $3 per cake cutting fee and then $175 for a no-host bar and then $3 per chair and then $2 for this overlay and then, and then, and then - ahhhhhh!  When will the nickel-and-diming stop?  Can I just get a TOTAL cost per person??  And where is that website where I can punch in my dates, guest count and get an instant quote from multiple caterers?  

Limo shoppers have it easy compared to caterer shoppers. . . .

Holiday Light Tours

The beautiful Valley of the Sun is coming to life with sparkling holiday light!  It is one of our family's traditions to take a limo ride with close family and friends to tour the beautiful holiday lights in our neighborhoods. 

We start at our house - having a scrumptious dinner and a gift exchange.  Then our beautiful party bus arrives and the chauffeur rolls out the red carpet.  The party bus has champagne, sparkling cider, soda and bottled water all pre-stocked for us.  We bring on a few carafes of hot chocolate.  The party bus is decorated with red and green balloons and holiday music is playing on the CD player.  It is the perfect atmosphere - our chauffeur takes us around to see some of the beautifully decorated homes and businesses using the route that I've printed up for him.

My favorite places to make sure and visit include the McCormick-Stillman Railroad park, the Scottsdale Pavillions mall, Scottsdale Civic center and Westworld of Scottsdale.  Other favorites our clients enjoy is the Community of Joy Church in the Northwest Valley, Desert Foothills Park in Awatukee, and the Mormon Tempe in Mesa. 

We have a map of lights available for your reference.  Our chauffeurs will go wherever you ask/route but we try and stay out of planning the route.  Sometimes you may not be happy with the light displays and of course we don't control the decorations and /or whether the decorations are light at a home or not.  We can make suggestions but ultimately the route/plan is up to you - (the client).

We laugh and talk on the ride - the kids "ohh" and "ahhh" over some of the beautiful decorations.  And they are thrilled to see that one of the homes has Santa Claus sitting in front of it - ready to take our children's Christmas wishes! 

A Holiday Light Tour from In The Scene Limousine is one of our family's favorite traditions around this time of year.  Gifts can break or get lost - but memories and experiences last a life-time.  Book your Holiday Light Tour today!
