7 Reasons to Choose a St. Louis Limo Service

Fernando Gray

Is there anything more glamorous than traveling from place to place in a limousine? For a long time in our culture, limos have been associated with wealth, success, romance, and status. Whether you’re looking for transportation to your wedding or to a business meeting, there are a lot of good reasons to hire a St. Louis limo.

Let’s take a look at 7 reasons why a limo service might be right for you.

1. Safety

When you hire a limo rental in St. Louis, your driver will be experienced and familiar with the area. You won’t have to worry about getting lost, getting used to local traffic patterns, or being distracted by the other people in the car.

Hiring a cab or an Uber can be a gamble. Hiring a limo is a much safer option. This means that you can think about what really matters rather than worrying about your safety.

If you’re out on the town celebrating, the last thing you want is for one of the people in your party to have to hold back from having fun so they can be the designated driver. When you hire a limo, everyone can participate in the celebration and you can arrive at all your destinations safe and sound.

2. Efficiency

Are you looking for a wedding limo in St. Louis? No matter the event you’re heading for, you know that time is of the essence. This means that arriving late is completely out of the question.

When you hire a limo in St. Louis, MO, you don’t have to worry about getting lost or arriving late. Since the driver will be familiar with the area, they’ll avoid congested routes that could hold you back.

The last thing you want is to be late to your own wedding. It’s best to hire a professional who can get you there on time and in style.

3. Travel Together

If you’re traveling with a group, why not all get to travel together? When everyone travels separately, you inevitably always get stuck waiting around for that one friend or coworker that can’t ever seem to be on time.

Whether you’re heading to your wedding, bachelorette party, a special night on the town, or a business meeting, riding in a limo is a very special way to spend time together. This is a great time to bond, discuss plans, and generally, just have a good time.

4. Avoid Parking Stress

One of the most stressful things that can happen is when you arrive on time in a location only to find that there’s nowhere to park. You spend what feels like ages looping around blocks, getting further and further from your destination as you follow one-way streets trying to find a spot. Even if there is a garage or a lot, city parking can frequently be incredibly expensive.

When you hire a limo service, you don’t have to worry about parking at all. You’ll be dropped off and picked up right at the door like the VIP you are.

5. Affordability

While limos are seen as the pinnacle of luxury and wealth, renting a limo can actually be very affordable. When you consider the cost of other modes of transportation such as renting a car or hailing a cab and factor in how much time and effort a limo saves you, it’s an affordable choice to make.

This is particularly true if you’re traveling with a large group where you can split the cost. Think about how much it would cost in cab fares, parking fares, and gas to get all of you to your destination. Hiring a limo often reduces the complexity of your outing and saves money.

6. The Luxury You Deserve

Let’s be serious: it’s a little silly to even try and compare a limousine to a taxi cab. Riding in a limo is luxurious, glamorous, and memorable while taking a cab is drab, unexciting, and forgettable.

When you hire a limo, you can choose which package you’d like. This means you can pick out which perks and extras you want included in your package.

There’s nothing better than feeling like a true VIP. Renting a limo in St. Louis, MO, is one of the best ways to have that experience.

7. Focus On What’s Important

Whether you’re traveling for business or on your way to the altar, there are more important things for you to focus on than the logistics of driving from one place to another. When you are riding in the back of a limo, you can pay attention to the things that are most important to you, whether it’s discussing an upcoming corporate presentation or spending quality time with your wedding party.

Transportation Sanitation: How Companies Are Keeping You Safe During COVID

Fernando Gray

During the pandemic, many of us are concerned about the dangers of public transportation. With crowding and hesitation around others out of fear that they are sick, it’s easy to feel anxious about the sanitation of the vehicle you’re in.

How can you ensure that your ride won’t end in disaster?

Here are just a few of the ways that businesses are making sure that their public transportation vehicles are safe and clean during the COVID crisis, and how you can help keep yourself safe while traveling as well.

Sanitation Attention to Transport Hubs and Vehicles

Along with maintaining their vehicles to ensure public safety, companies have begun paying more attention to potential health hazards within their transportation hubs as well. Train and bus stations are being more attentive to sanitation when cleaning and sanitizing their areas, and certain standards are being met to protect passengers.

Considering the large number of people who pass through on a daily basis, areas where people can be confined for safety purposes have been created at airports, train stations, bus terminals, and other major public transportation areas.

“Pinch points” have also been created to allow people to cross through different sections of buildings to get to their final destination, preventing too many people from being in one area.

Cleaning Vs. Disinfecting

While cleaning vehicles has always been an important routine for any public transportation service, companies have begun disinfecting their vehicles as well to keep them safe. They are taking extra sanitation steps to ensure safety.

What is the difference, and why is it important?

While cleaning only removes dirt, germs, and dust from surfaces, it does not completely kill bacteria. Disinfecting surfaces, however, is meant to kill any remaining bacteria left behind during the cleaning process. Most companies are requiring their workers or personal cleaning crews to clean and disinfect vehicles before and after every passenger or load of passengers has boarded the vehicle.

By combining the two and being more diligent with routines, public transport services are ensuring that there aren’t any remaining germs or bacteria within their vehicles from the previous passengers. 

Keeping Social Distance Regulations

Naturally, any public transportation service that carries more than one passenger at a time is doing its best to keep to the 6 feet social distance regulation to ensure the safety of its passengers. 

When using public transport during the pandemic, it’s important both to try to sit as far away from the driver and other passengers as possible. Cracking the windows open will also help improve air circulation and prevent the spread of disease. 

For smaller vehicles, such as limousine services or personal transportation services for smaller groups of people, this may be more difficult, but should still be taken into account. Try to place as much space between yourself and other passengers as possible to protect yourself and them.

Mandatory Masks

In most places, any form of public transportation is requiring the usage of masks to stop the spread of disease. Unless the individual is 2 years old or younger, is physically unable to breathe while using a mask, or is in some way incapacitated, a mask will need to be worn in order to enter the vehicle.

Masks help limit the spread of disease by protecting yourself and others from bacteria in their breath. They especially help if the person wearing a mask is asymptomatic and doesn’t realize that they are carrying the disease.

Use of Larger Vehicles

Certain types of public transportation are using larger vehicles for business; this is especially true for Lyft and Uber drivers. Vans and trucks are better suited for this type of job, as there is more available room to space yourself from the driver and any other passengers that may be in the vehicle.

What Types of Vehicles Should be Disinfected

It’s important for companies to understand what types of vehicles should be disinfected to prevent the spread of the virus. Any vehicle that is meant to carry more than the driver should be disinfected thoroughly between uses. This includes, but is not limited to:

Work vehiclesUnderground/above ground bus systemsTrainsAircraftFerries

Sanitation of the seats, dashboard, window ledges, armrests, steering wheel, and other parts of the vehicle that are touched frequently by the driver and passengers should all be carefully cleaned and disinfected between uses to prevent the spread of illness.

When in Doubt

If you are still uncertain about the safety of public transportation, there are some simple steps that you can take to keep yourself clean and healthy.

1. Regularly Wash Your Hands

Before and after going out or taking public transportation, make sure to thoroughly wash your hands using either sanitizing soap or any CDC recommended soaps.

2. Keep Personal Cleaning Supplies on Hand

Keeping items such as hand sanitizer or some form of sanitizing wipe for areas you come into contact with will help limit the amount of bacteria you will be exposed to. 

3. Limit Trips Out

Limiting your usage of public transportation to only when necessary is an important tip to keeping yourself safe. Keeping quarantined will limit the likelihood of exposure to the virus, and keep you from spreading it if you are infected and asymptomatic. 

4. Avoid Touching Your Face

Any bacteria that you come into contact with while traveling is most likely to get into your body through your mouth, nose, or eyes; by limiting the amount of times you touch your face, you will be able to prevent yourself from getting sick.

5. Wear Gloves When Traveling Publicly

Wearing gloves will keep you from bringing bacteria home with you, but even if you do choose to wear gloves, you should still touch your face as little as possible.

6. If You Are Sick, Stay Home

To prevent the spread to others and to keep public transportation safe, if you are sick or believe you might be sick, it’s crucial to stay home or go see a doctor for confirmation.

Safe Transportation Made Easy

Thanks to additional sanitation procedures and additional practices of public transportation and the help of passengers, public transit will remain safe during the pandemic.

Vehicles That Set Our Fleet Apart

Fernando Gray

One of the top reasons why people choose Corporate Transportation when looking for chauffeur services in Atlanta is because of our extensive fleet. We, of course, have all the standards that any transportation service should have. There’s the Lincoln MKS, which is a luxury sedan with plenty of room — essentially the newer and better version of the Town Car. If you need a larger ride, we have our Chevrolet Suburbans with plush leather interior. If you have a larger group, we offer a 14-passenger van with comfortable seating and air conditioning. We also offer roomy mini-coach busses for up to 41 people that offer amenities like reclining seats, a CD and DVD player, and plenty of luggage space.

For many corporate car services, the above is where they stop. They might also have a larger bus, but for the most part, it’s just your standard black car service. Corporate Transportation didn’t stop there, though. Throughout the years, we have expanded and maintained our fleet to offer something a little more special than just a black car service. This is because we know that if you are going to prom or leaving your wedding, you’re not going to want to be in the same car you rode in to the airport a month ago.

Rolls-Royce Collection

We are thrilled to offer three beautiful vintage Rolls-Royce cars for rent for weddings, prom, parties, or any event where you want to be chauffeured in style. Rolls-Royce is known for building luxury, smooth-riding vehicles and has remained a top-choice car for well-to-do types — which makes sense, considering a 2018 Rolls-Royce of any model starts well above $300,000! Thankfully, you don’t have to be a business mogul or head of state to ride in luxury. Check out our three models below! We offer these restored vintage beauties as part of our car transportation service for any special event.

1955 Rolls-Royce Princess

How often do you get to ride in a luxury car that is over 60 years old?  For anyone looking for something truly unique and vintage, the 1955 Rolls-Royce Princess edition is the perfect choice of car transportation. In fact, the Royal family of England is particularly fond of Rolls-Royces, meaning when you ride in this car, you will be traveling, quite literally, like royalty. With a classic black and white ‘tuxedo’ paint job, this car will look right at home at a wedding or gala.

1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

Our 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is beautifully maintained and adds elegance and class to any event. You can make a grand exit at your wedding in this beautiful car, or even send your kids off to prom in it!

1966 Rolls-Royce Cloud

Perhaps our most beautiful and expertly restored Rolls-Royce is kept above showroom standards. With 17 coats of hand-rubbed lacquer, this car shines like a mirror. It has new Connally leather interior as well as a new engine. If you are looking for truly undeniable luxury, this is the car you want.

Hummer H2 Stretch Limo

The only thing better than a stretch limo is a stretch Hummer limo. This limo rental is ideal for bachelor and bachelorette parties, a night out on the town with friends for a birthday, or any event where you want to arrive looking like you own the place. Our black H2 limousine service lets you enjoy the upscale leather interior while you party in style. Our drivers are experts at navigating roads so you can count on a smooth ride.

Luxury Limo Bus

If you need a charter bus that gets the party started before you arrive at the actual party, then our giant limo bus is the one. Equipped with a 42” plasma TV, six 9” flat-screen LCD monitors, and mood lighting, this bus already meets the requirements for an official party bus. But, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our party bus also features satellite TV, a laser show, a huge bar, three deep coolers, surround-sound speakers with an iPod hook up, a separate seating area for the bartender, plenty of luggage storage space, and perhaps most importantly, a bathroom. We can use this bus to transport you and your posse to a party, or just drive around while you party on the bus. This is perfect for team building work events, bachelor and bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, family reunions, sweet sixteens, and any other event that is a true party.

Choose Us As Your Expert Atlanta Car Service

Our luxury car service goes above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. Whether you are making a trip to the airport and don’t want to deal with traffic or you want to surprise your best friend at their bachelorette party with a stretch limo, we’ve got you covered. Our drivers are national background checked, state certified, and extensively trained and experienced, and truly take the title of “chauffeur” seriously. We want your ride to be safe, comfortable, and enjoyable, and one way we ensure that is by offering a unique fleet of vehicles to meet your needs. You can see our entire fleet here, and make sure to reserve your transportation service if you have a special car in mind! While we are based out of Atlanta, we are thrilled to extend our services throughout a roughly 300-mile radius around the city, including to southern Tennessee. Get in touch today if you have any questions about our black car services!

7 Times You Need Event Transportation Services

Fernando Gray

Everyone experiences an event at some point in their lives where they think, “I really wish we had hired a car service.” Sometimes you head to a party, picnic, or event and trying to find a parking spot is nearly impossible. Maybe you also have a couple drinks and end up leaving your car there overnight, coming back the next day to find a hefty parking ticket on your windshield, or even worse, notice that your car has been towed. As your Atlanta event transportation company, we are going to offer up a handful of events that, if you haven’t already hired a car or bus service, you’ll wish you did. Keep reading to learn more!

7 Events You’ll Want Transportation For

Bachelor Or Bachelorette Party: Most pre-wedding festivities involving either the bridal party or the groomsmen involve a night on the town, which often involves consuming alcohol. For safety reasons, and so that one friend doesn’t have to be consigned to the less-than-fun role of designated driver, hiring event transportation services can be a great addition to the night! Plus, when you choose one of our party busses, you can rest easy knowing that the party doesn’t stop when the bus shows up!

Wedding: While a wedding is a magical moment, the hours leading up to a wedding are often full of stress, even for the most well-planned events. Hiring wedding transportation services can ensure everyone gets to the wedding on time. It also gives the wedding couple and wedding party the ability to safely text and call each other about last minute details.

But pre-wedding isn’t the only time transportation services matter. We can also serve as a shuttle bus to get your guests to their hotel accommodations and ensure that the bridal party leaves in style and safety after a long night.

Family Reunion: Family reunions are typically held at parks or event centers, and more often than not, family members fly in from out of town to meet at a certain location. Hiring us to help shuttle everyone from their hotel to the reunion means that nobody has to rent a car or drive themselves. This gives family members time to catch up without having to split into separate cars.  

Company Holiday Party: If you are attending a company holiday party, or even more so, if you are a business throwing a company party, having the right transportation can make or break the night. For employees whose companies did not arrange transportation, splitting the cost of a quality transportation service will allow you to indulge in some free alcoholic beverages, get home safe, and spend some quality time with coworkers. For business owners, arranging discounted hotel rooms near the venue and providing a shuttle bus-type service will let your employees know you want to go the extra mile for them.

School Dances: School dances are a big deal for high schoolers, and hiring a homecoming or prom limo will make your teenagers feel special while giving you the peace of mind that they are getting there and back home safely.

Graduation Ceremony: Whether it is a high school or a college graduation, one thing is certain: Parking will likely be a mess. The last thing you want is to miss the first fifteen minutes of your child’s graduation ceremony because you were circling the parking lot. Our transportation services can pick the entire family up at your house and drop you off at the graduation ceremony. We can then pick you up and return you home safe and sound afterwards.

Bar Crawl: Whether you are going out for Saint Patrick’s Day or to celebrate a birthday, hiring a shuttle for the evening of a bar crawl will help you and your friends get around without a problem. Just let your driver know where you’re going and when to pick you up, and you can count on us to get you from point A to point B (and points C, D, E, F, and G as well).

Need An Atlanta Event Transportation Service You Can Count On?

Corporate Transportation is your Atlanta car and bus service here to make your next event special! Our highly trained and regularly drug-checked drivers are the best in the industry, and our huge fleet can transport a couple hundred people. We offer everything from black car services for executives to stretch limos and charter busses. Reserve your transportation today, or get in touch if you have any questions!

Why To Hire An Executive Car Service

Fernando Gray

Corporate Transportation is your Atlanta private car service of choice for business professionals in the area. Whether you need a smooth ride to the airport or are wining and dining a potential investor, a corporate car service is key to making a lasting impression.

Our drivers are the best in the region, and because of our large fleet, we are able to provide private car and coach services up to 300 miles away from Atlanta. In today’s blog, we are going to discuss a few reasons why hiring a private black car service for executives and potential business partners is one of the best ways to show them you’re serious about this business endeavor.

Impress Those Who Matter Most

In a world when anyone can order an Uber from their phone or flag down a taxi, it is easy to think, “Why would I need to send a black car to the airport to pick up so-and-so?” Let’s look at a hypothetical situation. You’ve just flown in a very important potential investor to meet with your executive staff. You paid for their plane ticket and their hotel, but figured they can just hop in an uber to get to their lodging — maybe they even offered to find their own way around. They get off of a long flight, tired and thinking about the big meeting tomorrow, when their Uber shows up. They squeeze into the back seat of a Prius that smells like the last ten people who have been in there and are taken on a jerky, crazy ride through downtown Atlanta. This is an awful first impression and will likely sour the entire trip for them. Instead, tell them, “There’s no way we’re letting you take an Uber. I insist that we provide a private car service for you.” Then, follow through. Have our highly-trained drivers pick your potential investor up in a Lincoln MKS or sleek Chevrolet Suburban with leather interior.

They Can Work On The Go

There’s no way any business is getting done in the back of that Prius. Your new investor is likely a busy person, and trying to conduct business in the back of a Prius will likely not end well. But a corporate transportation car with tinted windows and plenty of space in the back seat is the perfect environment to make a few phone calls or send some emails. While we offer transportation for weddings, family reunions, and just about everything else, there’s a reason we are called “Corporate Transportation.” First and foremost, our goal is to provide business professionals with exceptional transportation services.

The Best Drivers And The Best Cars

Uber drivers use their personal cars to transport people, meaning their level of cleanliness might not be up to snuff for the executive of a business. You never know if the Uber or Lyft your new investor gets into is going to have fast food trash in the front seat or smell like cigarettes. While ride shares are fine for everyday use, there really is a touch of luxury involved with a black car service that is truly going to impress anyone looking to make a business deal. Our drivers are smartly dressed and drive company-owned cars with elegant finishes like plush leather interiors and dark tinted windows.

Choose Corporate Transportation For Executive Car Service

Don’t make the mistake of letting a potential business partner or investor take a regular taxi cab or a ride share like Uber or Lyft. From the moment they set off to meet with you and your team, they should be chauffeured in luxury with an executive car service. Corporate Transportation provides service to a 300-mile radius around Atlanta, Georgia and is happy to offer pickup and dropoff service to all local airports.

It’s Wedding Season – Do You Have Your Transportation Reserved?

Fernando Gray

Late spring and early summer are by far the most popular times of the year for weddings — if you couldn’t already tell by your wedding venue hiking up prices at the first sign of flowers blooming! The winter cold is finally shaking off and we aren’t quite yet in the sweltering heat of late summer. The timing is perfect, everything is coordinated and ready to go except for one thing: the wedding transportation services.

Coordinating a wedding is stressful enough as it is. You have to frequently call all the vendors and ensure that they are still going to show up as planned, you have to figure out how to decorate, who is going to decorate, and ensure that all the decor is ready to go on the day of the wedding. You also have dress fittings, tuxedo tailorings, and appointments at the salon or barber shop during the days leading up to the wedding. Don’t even get us started on the day-of! Brides and bridesmaids often spend hours having their hair and makeup done before the ceremony. Grooms need to make sure they have their vows prepared and oversee the groomsmen to check that they all have their shirts tucked in and that their ties are the correct length. The last thing you want to be doing in the days leading up to the big event is driving yourself all over town while making phone calls to various vendors just to make sure they’re doing their jobs!

Let us handle the driving while you focus on getting ready for the wedding! Our Atlanta car service provides wedding transportation throughout the state of Georgia. Keep reading to learn more about our wedding transport services, or go reserve a wedding limo, party bus, vintage Rolls Royce, or other wedding transportation option from our fleet now!

Our Wedding Transportation Services

There are three main events surrounding a wedding that require a reliable transportation service. Check them out below!

The Bachelorette Or Bachelor Party

Perhaps this is the Big Day Before The Big Day. Many people dream of their bachelor and bachelorette parties for as long as they dream about their wedding. These pre-wedding celebrations often involve a night out on the town, bar hopping, and dancing the night away. Make sure you have a driver to get you from point A to point B (and points C, D, E, and back to A)! We have party bus rentals that are perfect for entertaining your wedding party.

The Rehearsal Dinner

Most couples will rent out a space to have their rehearsal dinner. The point of the rehearsal dinner is to make sure that everyone in the wedding party knows where to stand, when to walk, and what their roles are. This is vitally important to ensuring that the wedding ceremony goes off without a hitch — other than you and your partner getting hitched, of course! Getting everyone together at the same place and time is hard enough on the actual wedding day, let alone the rehearsal dinner. Hiring a van service to pick up members of the wedding party for the rehearsal dinner will hopefully put enough pressure on them to get ready and be where they need to be! Additionally, hiring a car service will ensure everyone gets home safe even if they indulge in some alcoholic beverages to calm the wedding nerves. The last thing you need is for your best man to be calling you from a jail cell the morning of the wedding!

The Big Day

This might be the most important day to have wedding transportation services. We can transport everyone from hotels or their homes depending on your needs and make sure that everyone is there who needs to be there. Whether you want something practical like a van or bus service, something flashy like a limousine service for your wedding, or something vintage like our 1950s Rolls Royce – the car transport of choice for Royal weddings from London to Monaco – we can do it all!

We Offer Wedding Transportation Throughout Georgia & Southern Tennessee

Even though we are based out of Atlanta, we offer wedding transportation in Alpharetta, Marietta, Athens, Gainesville, Augusta, Dekalb, Canton, Chattanooga, and many, many more places! You can check out our event transportation service areas here or give us a call if you are unsure if we’ll able to make it to your neck of the woods. Take a look at our impressive fleet and view our wide variety of wedding transportation vehicles available to you!

10 Reasons You Should Rent A Prom Limo

Fernando Gray

We are right in the midst of prom season, and that means it is time for teenagers and parents to start thinking about how their high schoolers are going to get to the biggest event of the year. There are a lot of options from driving themselves to renting a party bus. Today, we’re going to discuss ten good reasons to go with a hired limo or party bus service. Keep reading to learn more about why it can be a good idea to rent a limo to take your teenagers to prom, or head straight to our reservations page to reserve your prom limo before we’re all booked up!

Ten Good Reasons To Hire A Limo For Prom

You know your kids will get there safe. Even if your high schooler has been driving for a year or so, prom is an exciting, fun-filled night that might result in some distracted driving. Even if your kid is being safe, there is no telling what other people on the road will do. It can offer some peace of mind knowing that a professional chauffeur who has undergone extensive training and background checks is going to be behind the wheel. You know where they will be. Prom night has a reputation of being a transitional night where kids experience new things – which, as a parent, probably strikes fear in your heart. Renting a limo for your kids’ prom might make them feel like a star, but secretly it’s giving you some relief that they’ll be dropped off at prom and picked back up afterward. Our drivers know the area. High schoolers probably know the route to school like the back of their hand. However, most schools will have their prom in a special venue that the kids are probably not familiar with. This can cause problems as they try to navigate their way there and find parking. Our drivers are seasoned pros who can get the prom-goers there on time and safely. The kids can travel together. While your teen might be able to fit three of her closest friends in her 1998 Honda Accord, we believe prom entails the use of, “The more, the merrier.” Prom limos can hold about 16 passengers, and that means even more opportunity for memories to be made. Your kids deserve it. Look, we know that a lot of people might have mixed feelings about this generation of high school kids, but so did past generations. The truth is that being a teen today is hard, and if your kid has successfully made it to senior prom without having any serious setbacks, then congrats, you and your kids are rocking it! Even if you disagree sometimes, you can probably admit that you’re pretty proud of your kiddo, and renting a limo for their prom might be a great way to show it. Because you don’t want them to drive themselves and they sure as heck won’t let you drop them off. Look, as cool as we’re sure you are, your teenagers might not think so. We understand not wanting your kid or their friends to drive to prom by themselves for some of the reasons we have already discussed. However, most 16 and 17-year olds don’t love the idea of mom or dad dropping them off in the minivan. Find a compromise by hiring a car service or limo service to drive them there. They can make an evening out of it. If prom is just down the road, you might be thinking that hiring a limo service is pointless. However, who said the teens can’t make a whole night of it? Our professional drivers can pick the group up and drive them to a swanky restaurant or the nearest Waffle House if that’s more their style. Then, we can take them from dinner to prom, and from prom, we can take them safely back home. They can pop some bubbly… apple cider. While adults might enjoy a glass of champagne in a limo, your prom-age teens are obviously a bit young for that. However, some champagne flutes and bottle of sparkling cider makes them feel grown up and is the perfect photo-op! Something that definitely wouldn’t be safe to do if they were driving themselves!A limo service will impress their date. Picture this: you love your son, but you can admit that he hasn’t had the best choice in partners over the years. He has had his heart broken and has experienced a lot of drama in the romance department. Finally, he is going on a date with that nice girl from down the road who is in all AP classes and tutors kids in her spare time. You know she’ll run for the hills if she sees the piles of Bojangles, Cook Out, and Chick-Fil-A trash piled in the backseat of his car. Don’t ruin this opportunity for you — er, him! Don’t ruin it for him! Make sure they go to prom together in a clean, fancy limousine. Because they’re paying for it. Look, if your teen offers to pay for the limo service and they just need an adult to sign off on it, then why not? You probably know that your high schoolers value their money, whether they work a job after school or earn an allowance for doing chores around the house. If they and their friends are willing to foot the bill, then, by all means, call our transportation service company and get them a prom limousine.

Reserve Your Limo Rental Today!

As you can see, there are a lot of valid reasons for helping your teenage coordinate a limousine service for prom. It will give you peace of mind and it will make them feel like a star! And, if limos aren’t the style you’re going for, don’t worry. Check out our fleet! You’ll find traditional limos, Hummer limos for prom, party bus rentals, and much more!

Filling A Need For Baby Boomers

Fernando Gray

Express Mobile Transportation Fills the Need of Aging Boomers and Caretakers

The ever aging Baby Boomer generation is expected to double by 2025.  As this generation ages, it brings along a whole set of challenges for their family members.   An AARP study found that the average caregiver is a 49-year-old woman who works outside the home and spends nearly twenty hours a week providing care for an aging parent or other family members for at least five years.  The person offering the care has the burden of lost work hours or forced into early retirement to provide the care needed for their loved one.

I encountered this experience first hand when both in-laws became terminally ill at the same time.  Fortunately, we had an active family unit, and many of us pulled together to orchestrate a manageable schedule for everyone.    Sadly, not all families have this same support system.   The challenge came with the need for multiple doctors’ appointments for both parents.    I would find myself leaving work early to take one parent to these appointments and then returning him or her home hours later.  There were many weeks when this became a three or four-day task, removing me from my office for a minimum of four hours each time.

One day I had a thought that I remember well…., “If I could find someone to transport my parent to and from their doctor’s appointments and I could meet them at the appointment, it would allow me a few extra hours at my desk!”   As I looked around the waiting room of the practitioner’s office, it appeared many people were in my exact situation.

My personal experience with this challenge and the knowledge of the passenger transportation industry led us to create Express Mobile Transportation.  Our family business, Executive Transportation, has existed for more than sixty years.  Within that time we have become experts in moving passengers safely and efficiently.   Our corporate clients trust us to serve them with the highest level of care and we are committed to treating our senior and mobility challenged clients with the dignity they deserve.

The rapid increase in aging Boomers brings about the opportunity for Express Mobile to partner with those caregivers who struggle with time constraints.  Express Mobile’s service is designed to bring peace of mind in knowing that a family member’s care is the same as if a family member was present. The goal is to relieve the pressure from the caregiver for the need to lose work hours, the possibility of having to rely on the unpaid “Family Leave Act”   or worse forced early retirement.

We understand that life is full of challenges; our main goal at EMT is to help empower you to overcome those challenges. Whether you have a non-emergency medical need such as physical therapy or a doctor’s appointment, or if you simply need wheelchair assistance going shopping, getting to church, or attending a family gathering, we are here to help.

Time with those you love is invaluable. Don’t let lack of transportation keep you from a happy and healthy life.

Don’t Miss A Moment.
