Many limousine services offer all-inclusive pricing that has the tip for the chauffeur already figured in, while others leave the tipping to the client. Some may charge extra for add-on luxury features, such as champagne, television, phone, etc. If you require special needs such as handicap access there may be additional charges as well. Keep in mind that shopping strictly on price can mean lower quality or poorly maintained older vehicles, unprofessional chauffeurs, and a greater chance of being late. You very well may sacrifice 5 star service if you compromise on price. If you need airport transportation services for a business associate or client, the fees may be lower than other special outings. Fees may be tax deductible as well when entertaining CEOs for business purposes. This is important to keep in mind because it can allow you to afford the best possible CEO transportation when its vital for you to select a company that caters well to corporate needs. View the Company’s Fleet Every company offers its own fleet of limos, from stretch limousines to luxury Hummers to SUV limos. Most companies provide their fleet online for you to view. You’ll want to find out what types of luxury cars are available, as well as the passenger and luggage capacity of each.

If you need a limo for three or more guests, try to secure a car with extra seating for added comfort. Also, ask about the year, make and model of each car to be sure the company has up-to-date models. Other Considerations If your client or business associate plans to stay a while, then you might ask the limo service if it offers package deals. Some limo services in many major cities offer corporate discounts if you use their service often. Also, ask if the chauffeur will be formal or casual, and if he will provide assistance with luggage. Establish where the limo will be parked and how your guest will be able to recognize the driver or car when he arrives. Be sure to book the limousine service as early as possible. You should reserve it at least a few weeks in advance if possible. This is especially true for the well-established National Limousine companies.

Reporting first hand to the NLA were Dick Blewett, Deputy Director of the Office of Financial Assistance, Small Business Administration, who described the financial programs that are available for small companies, Chuck Horan, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation, who outlined the new performance standards for electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) installed in commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), Bruce Andrews from the Senate Commerce Committee, who discussed the RIDE Act and distracted driving from the purview of his committee which has oversight over the Department of Transportation, Bill Coleman, Deputy Program Manager, CSA 2010, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation, who detailed the CSA 2010 initiative that is due to be fully rolled out by year end, and Nancy Leppink, Acting Administrator, Wage and Hour Division, Department of Labor, who commented on the fiscal year 2011 federal budget proposal that contains provisions to combat misclassification of employees as independent contractors.

The annual sojourn of industry leaders to Capitol Hill this year will include direct talks with key federal agencies that regulate chauffeured transportation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Leaders and lobbyists of the NATIONAL LIMOUSINE ASSOCIATION and key industry associations nationwide will meet with Congressional staff members and federal bureaucrats Wednesday, April 28 as part of the NLA’s annual Day On The Hill legislative effort.

The event takes a wider approach this year, with industry leaders dividing their time between Capitol Hill and key federal agencies that administer and enforce rules governing chauffeured transportation. About 40 NLA board members, industry association presidents, and lobbyists are expected to attend the event, which will be preceded by a quarterly NLA board of directors meeting and related briefings on Tuesday, April 27.

“We will spend as much time sitting down with the agencies since they have issues that affect so many operators in the NLA,” NLA President Diane Forgy said. “It will give us a broader understanding of what to prepare for in the future. It’s good to have that communication.”

NLA Day On The Hill typically involves sub-dividing the NLA members and association presidents into lobbying teams that then visit the offices of various Congressional representatives influential in advocating on behalf of chauffeured transportation interests. The NLA tries to target those members who serve on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Senate Commerce Committee, and the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee, all of which routinely deal with transportation related legislation.

Since the last Day On the Hill on June 9, 2009, the political climate has grown more unpredictable, with health care battles and passage in an election year either disrupting or crowding out other measures for now.
