It’s the busy travel season and since I am in the limo business, I want to share some tips if you are traveling and using a car service or limo company during your trip. There are so many disreputable limo companies that have no business even BEING in business and they give the rest of us a bad name. I have heard dozens of horror stories from my clients over the past few years that I feel it would be a public service to my readers and clients so that they know what to look for! Here are some things to know that will make your limo service a pleasant one and keep your holiday happy!1. BOOK EARLY – I cannot stress how important it is to book your limo service early to avoid disappointment and to make sure that you have a car for your event!! Thanksgiving Day is the single biggest travel day of the entire year!! If you don’t book your reservation at least 10-14 days in advance, you will NOT be getting a car. The same is true of New Year’s Eve which is the single biggest night in the industry–BOOK EARLY and USE A CREDIT CARD!! There are several reliable limo service websites, the two best in the industry are limos.com where you can rate your service and airportservice.com where many airport travelers find car service for airport transportation. You can easily check for limos at both websites and you can find my company, dependablelimos.com listed at both sites! Always use a credit card for your reservation so that the limo service KNOWS you are going to show up and get into the car. If you cancel your reservation within a certain time frame, your card will not be charged, but if you cancel at the last minute and/or don’t show up, expect to pay the full price for the trip. The limo company turned away people to honor your reservation and they expect to be paid for the trip. This is standard practice in the industry, it’s just like a guaranteed hotel room.2. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A CONTACT NUMBER FOR THE COMPANY. The airports are packed with people in the holiday season and people get lost in airports and traffic is usually very snarled outside major airports and limo companies are very tightly booked. If your plane is going to be late, then make sure you call the limo company and TELL THEM!! Any reputable company will bend over backwards to make sure that you get your ride no matter HOW late your plane comes in–but it helps if you let them know. If you get bumped and put on a different flight. CALL AND TELL THEM!! We are not psychic, and the more you help us, the better we are able to serve you. If your flight is early (it DOES happen) then call the company and tell them when you land–and always check your voice mail for a message from the company when you get off the plane. You might have to wait for your car, but you will get one and a little patience and understanding on both sides helps.3. AIRLINES LIE ABOUT ARRIVAL TIMES No matter how many times I receive bad information from the airline about flight times, it still infuriates me that I get incorrect information on a regular basis about flight arrival times from the airlines! If I ran my business like the airlines run theirs, I’d be in bankruptcy too–like so many airlines are!! Jet Blue is particularly bad about this–they have a flight from California to Ft. Lauderdale that is scheduled to arrive every day at 5 a.m. and it ROUTINELY lands about 4:15 a.m. This is infuriating as in order to meet the plane and get proper sleep, I have to go to bed about 9 p.m. Eastern time–and the plane leaves CA at 9 p.m. Pacific time (midnight EST) and I am asleep since I have to be up no later than 3:30 a.m. to meet this flight. When it arrives early, it breaks my back since it’s almost an hour’s drive to that particular airport.4. TIP YOUR CHAUFFEUR. Most limo drivers work almost entirely for your tips. We are waiters/waitresses with Lincolns. Limo company owners are buried with insurance bills that are ridiculous, as are licensing and permit fees and chauffeurs are working for your tips. The standard is 20% of the fare for good service and if you receive excellent service. which you do with my company and my affiliates, please show your appreciation to the hardworking chauffeur who drove the car safely, cleaned it before and after you got in and out, carried and loaded your luggage on both ends of the trip and took care of any special requests you made along the way.

Over the past years, increasing numbers of cable subscribers have decided to switch to satellite TV. With rising costs and limited programming available through cable, these people have made the right choice. Directv is the leading satellite TV provider with more than 14 million subscribers and provides many options in equipment and programming all at an affordable price. While cable TV transmits its signals through limited bandwidth cables, satellite television uses geosynchronous satellites that broadcast the signals to individual satellite dishes. Because these signals are transmitted through virtually unlimited electromagnetic waves, satellite TV is able to offer many more options than a cable subscriber is used to. This becomes apparent when you look at all the benefits that come with Direct TV.

For starters, Direct TV offers an incredible array of channels with programming that appeals to everybody. The basic package includes over 155 channels with favorites such as Disney, Comedy Central, USA, and ESPN.

And if more programming is wanted, Direct TV offers options such as Pay Per View, adult channels and seasonal sports subscriptions. Sports fans will love such options as the seasonal subscription to the NFL Sunday Ticket, which is broadcast only through Direct TV . And, if you are worried that you have to give up local channels with satellite TV, Directv is able to offer locals for almost every area in America.

With all the great programming, high quality picture and sound is of utmost importance, and Direct TV delivers in this capacity too. With 100% digital picture and CD quality sound, whatever is being viewed will come across crystal clear.

Along with an incredible array of programming with great picture and sound quality, Direct TV offers benefits such as the Digital Video Recorder (DVR). This amazing device is electronically interfaced with the satellite system and can record one station while another is being watched, pause live TV, or even rewind and replay live TV. It even allows interactive services such as horoscopes, weather or lottery results and a “find by” feature makes it easy to locate a program by title, actor, keyword or channel. In addition, a Parental Control feature makes it easy for parents to limit their children’s viewing with the ability to block channels or shows, or set time limits for watching.

Direct TV even offers Internet service, making it easy to combine all of your telecommunications needs into one monthly bill.
