Getting The Best Los Angeles Limo Service For The Quinceañera

Many people see a limo service as an absolute must for a quinceañera on the day of her party. There’s nothing like a girl becoming a young woman and arriving in style to her own event—and with all the glamorous attire, music, and food that goes with a quinceañera celebrating her day, a limo goes perfectly hand-in-hand with everything else!

When it comes to finding the right Los Angeles limo service for your quinceañera, there are certain decisions to be made regarding your budget and the car’s style, color, size, and capacity. Here are a few points to consider when looking for the perfect limo for your quinceañera and planning out the arrangements.

Safety

While style and appearance is important, safety is priority—especially when it comes to your little girl (who’s not so little anymore)! Ensure that your quinceañera and anyone else who will be riding in the limo will be traveling safely by asking the car service for its commercial license and proof of state registration and insurance. It’s also important to check the car company’s track record with accidents. If they have had a lot, look elsewhere.

Passenger Count

Before you book your Los Angeles limo service, you need to know who will be traveling in it. For example, some quinceañeras choose to have their damas and chambelanes accompany her in the limo. Other quinceañeras prefer to have her parents and siblings ride with her. Make sure you find a limo that has enough space for the specific guests that the quinceañera wants. Most limos typically fit six passengers, extended limos fit about ten, and the larger ones have capacity for about fourteen. Some limo companies also offer sprinter vans for bigger parties.

Professional Service

A big part of booking a limo for your quinceañera is the service that comes with it—not just a stylish ride! When you hire a professional Los Angeles limo service, your quinceañera will also be getting a highly-trained driver who will make her feel like royalty. Make sure to ask the car company about their drivers. Are they well instructed? Do they wear a uniform? It may also be a good idea to ask if the car service provides any personal requests for the celebration, such as rose petals or balloons.

Plan Ahead

With your quinceañera’s celebration, there are so many details and plans to get straight that booking a limo service may not seem as important as the rest of the plans, and it can often get pushed to the side. However, it’s very important to take care of the limo service in advance so that you can be sure it’s available when you need it. The sooner you decide on what you’d like, the more options you’ll have. Some parents even begin looking nine months in advance! Hey—can’t hurt.

Your quinceañera will look so elegant as she arrives at her celebration in a stylish limo or luxury car. Her special day should definitely include limo rides with her loved ones that she will never forget!

Questions To Ask Your Limo Service Before The Wedding

A limo service for your wedding day has many benefits. Besides adding to the party/luxury/celebration atmosphere, a limo will help keep dresses from wrinkling, will keep the wedding party together so that arrivals aren’t delayed, will prevent your wedding party from driving after drinking, and much more. All in all, getting a Los Angeles limo service for your big day is very smart!

But what questions and information do you need to take care of when hiring a limo service? You need to go in prepared, or else you may find yourself with a low-rated or unprofessional Los Angeles limo service. And no one wants that on their wedding day (or ever).

Here are some good questions to ask when vetting limo services:

What Does Your Insurance Cover?

Just in case you or your wedding party experience a little bump-up during your limo ride, you don’t want to be responsible for having to pay for the damages. Because big money is always involved with accidents, it’s important to ask whose coverage will be liable if this were to happen.

What Do Your Drivers Wear?

A good Los Angeles limo service will require their chauffeurs to wear a certain uniform in order to look professional. These uniforms vary, so if you’re concerned with how your driver might look, ask the limo company what their chauffeurs typically wear.

Are Your Drivers DOT Compliant?

If the limo company is legit, their drivers should definitely be DOT compliant. This means that the drivers will have been required to undergo drug testing in order to work there. If this is important to you, be sure to check with them.

4 Things To Consider When Booking A Limo Service
Hiring A Limo For Your Wedding Guests

Are Your Drivers Trained?

A good limo company will have drivers who have earned their chauffeur’s license or permit. If you’ll be requiring them to drive you across a state border, your driver should have a chauffeur’s license for that particular state as well.

How Many People Does The Vehicle Hold?

If the limo company answers this question with “Ten passengers,” assume that this means ten crammed in passengers. It’s always a good idea to reserve a limo for a group one size up from yours to ensure everyone’s comfort. After all, a limo is all about luxury!

Are Amenities Included?

It’s your wedding day! Does the limo service include a red carpet to roll out for your big entrance? What about champagne? Some limos are stocked with snacks and drinks, and others aren’t. If this is important to you, make sure to ask about it beforehand. If you want it but the limo company doesn’t usually provide it, you may be able to arrange it with them. Just don’t wait until you’re sitting inside the car on your wedding day!

Some Los Angeles limo services don’t allow food or drinks in their vehicles, period. If snacking and drinking in the limo is something you know you’ll want, it’s important to double check on this during your first conversation with the limo company.

Do You Provide A Contract?

As with every vendor you’re working with on your wedding day, you should have a business contract with the Los Angeles limo service you choose. Having a document that states pricing, policies, expectations, and rules is an absolute must. If the limo company you want doesn’t provide contracts, you should request that they draw one up. It should cover things like deposits, total cost, cancellation policies, drop-off and pick-up times, gratuities, and overtime fees.

No matter if you end up choosing a limo, a sprinter, or a luxury sedan, your wedding day transportation vehicle should be exactly what you want! Ask these important questions to double-check that you’ll be completely satisfied with your car, company, and service!

How A Car Service Can Help Your Entire Wedding Week

A limo on a couple’s wedding day is fairly traditional, but that doesn’t mean a limo always has to be specifically for the couple to arrive at the reception venue, or for the wedding party. A limo is perfect for those purposes, but a limo or car service is also great for a other memorable times that will be happening throughout the wedding week.

Airport Pickups

Most weddings include some key members of the wedding party flying in from out of town, or perhaps the parents of the bride or groom. What better way to welcome them to the next few exciting days than with a luxury limo at the airport? They can arrive in style and feel appreciated with a good limo service.

Bachelor And Bachelorette Parties

We’ve mentioned in other posts how helpful it is to have a car service for those memorable nights out. Everyone can have a few drinks without having to worry about driving; a professional driver will know his way around; you won’t need to worry about waiting around for ride-hailing apps, and everyone gets to stick together so that no one is late or left behind. Make this car service a limo, and you’ll be pulling up in style everywhere you go.

The Rehearsal Dinner

Arriving to the rehearsal dinner in a limo will help a couple make a great entrance. Or, since Los Angeles is notorious for its traffic, it may be a great idea to even book a nice sprinter van and have everyone travel together to beat the clogged roads.

Carting Around Your Wedding Party

Some couples decide to book a limo for their wedding party to get to the reception venue, while they themselves ride in a separate vehicle. This is often to preserve their grand entrance to the reception, and because usually the wedding party photos are finished before the bride and groom’s photos. Groomsmen and bridesmaids love getting their own limo or sprinter!

The Classic Grand Entrance

This is when a newly-married couple pulls up to the reception venue, and it’s a prime opportunity for photos! It’s practically tradition to make your big entrance as a just-married couple with a fantastic limo.

Just Married! Leaving The Reception

Seeing the newly-married couple off is also a big wedding tradition. Guests gather around to say goodbye and congratulations to the bride and groom as they’re whisked off to their first evening together as man and wife. Many couples enjoy their “getaway car” being a limo, since it offers the space and luxury to help them relax and enjoy each other after such a big event. For this reason, limos are perfect for leaving the wedding reception.

As you can see, there are many areas of a wedding where a car service can be very helpful. From airport pickups to bachelor parties, having a luxury car service by your side is a smart plan. As the premier car service in Los Angeles, Modern Limo can provide you with any car service needs you may have—for a wedding or for anything else!

6 Events That Call For A Luxury Car Service

Posted on June 13, 2017 in Luxury Car Transportation

Sometimes a regular car or an Uber just won’t do, and you need a luxury car service. It may be because you don’t want to get into a stranger’s car on your way to someplace special, or it could be as simple as you want to make a good impression to someone. Below are some classic situations that call for a good luxury car service.

Special Occasion Date Nights

When it comes to a truly special date night, hiring a luxury car service is so much nicer than riding around in your regular car or waiting around for Ubers or Lyfts (and then having to ride in their car). Town cars, limos, and luxury cars keep things feeling intimate, and you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that you’re being driven around by a professional who has been trained and knows the area well. Having a luxury car service chauffeuring you around as a couple will make you feel special, and will add a strong element of romance to your date. Whether it’s an anniversary, Valentine’s Day, a proposal, or any other unique date, having a luxury car service will add an extra-special touch.

Business Travel

Having a professional car service for out-of-town partners, colleagues, and clients makes an immediate good impression, shows them that they are considered and appreciated, and makes them feel special. Limos are the preferred vehicle when it comes to entertaining clients, and having a car service waiting to pick them up or drop them off at the airport makes a big statement about your company.

Movie Premieres

If you live in Los Angeles, chances are you’ve been to at least one movie premiere! You may even have been to a movie premiere for a film that you’ve worked on. When these special nights happen, arriving in true style in a luxury car adds so much to the experience. Whether it’s a full limousine, a beautiful town car, or a classic luxury sedan, you’ll want the right car to match the red carpet!

wedding-day-limo

Wedding Party Transport

Lots of couples splurge on a limo for their wedding party, and why not? Having the bridesmaids and groomsmen together in a limo is fun, traditional, and will make them feel appreciated. This is an especially good idea if your ceremony venue is a little far from the reception venue, since having everyone share a limo will ensure that they all arrive at the same time and no one gets left behind.

Wine Tours And Pub Crawls

If you’re planning on experiencing a wine tasting tour, craft beer journey, or a hefty pub crawl, a car service is much better than a ride-hailing app, simply because it cuts down on waiting-around time and also ensures that you’ll get where you want to go. If you’ve had a few (as you will on a wine or beer tour), let’s face it—you may not always know what to tell an Uber or Lyft driver. But a car service driver will know where to go, and will take good car of you in between stops.

Spa Escapes

An indulgent trip to the spa should be bookended with rides in a luxury car, right? Whether you’re hitting the spa with buddies, bridesmaids, your significant other, or simply yourself, having a car service to chauffeur you to and from will complete the day of pampering.

Whatever your special occasion may be (any of these, the prom, homecoming, class reunions, etc.), Modern Limo has you covered. We are a luxury car service in Los Angeles that provides outstanding cars and professional drivers with superior customer service. Contact us with any questions you may have, or take advantage of our instant quote form!

Modern Limo Service Celebrates National Tire Safety Week!

Here at Modern Limo Service, we are observing National Tire Safety Week (May 28 through June 3, 2017) the same way everyone is—by doing a thorough tire check!

The Rubber Manufacturers Association created National Tire Safety Week in 2001 to help drivers become more aware of how to keep their tires safe and well maintained. By doing this, many accidents can be prevented that would otherwise be caused by tire blowouts resulting from wear, low/high pressure, or debris.

It’s obviously very important to do tire checkups, but did you know that only 15% of drivers properly check their tires? Pretty shocking, considering doing it right and often can save lives.

Drivers of all kinds can do a few simple, yet very important, things regularly in order to help keep tires safe—thereby helping themselves avoid tire-related accidents on the road. Here’s what all drivers should be doing:

Keeping An Eye On Tire Pressure

It’s important to keep an eye on the pressure in your tires, making sure they’re neither under-inflated or over-inflated. Since most cars don’t alert you of low or high tire pressure, drivers should regularly check this themselves. If your tires have too much or too little air, you’re at risk for a blowout on the road. You can easily check your tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge, which you can find at most gas stations. The maximum amount of air each tire should have is written on the tire itself.

Maintaining Tire Treads

Look at the wear bars on your tires. If the wear bars are visible, that means your tires are too worn, and you’re at risk for a blowout on the road.

Replacing Your Tires When Needed

Tires should be replaced at least every ten years, even if they look like they’re still in good shape. It’s just not worth the risk. If you’re unsure of sure how old your tires are, you can check their sidewalls.

Checking Tire Valves

Tire valve caps keep air from leaking out of the tire, so they’re very important. When doing your checkups, make sure those valve caps are all there. And be careful not to lose them when you’re checking the tire pressure with a gauge. They’re small and can easily get lost!

Keeping Up On Tire Rotation & Balance

Because unbalanced tires can cause irregular wear on tire treads, it’s important to regularly have your tires balanced. This wear can cause blowouts on the road, and by having your tires balanced, you’re preventing unnecessary wear. Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, and should also be checked frequently for general damage such as cuts, gouges, or bulges in the sidewall, cracking, or rocks/debris in the treads.

At Modern Limo Service, road safety is our highest priority. That’s why our drivers are so carefully trained and why we ensure that each of our vehicles in in top-notch condition. The principles of National Tire Safety Week are at our core, and we hope it’s the same with all drivers. We are a Los Angeles car service that practices safety first. If you’re ever in need of limo or luxury car service for airport transport, a night out, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Ask A Car Service: What Are L.A.’s Most Romantic Restaurants?

As a luxury car service in Los Angeles, our drivers at Modern Limo Service know the city like the back of our hand. We also happen to know the most romantic restaurants that Los Angeles has to offer. If you’re looking for a good spot to wine and dine someone special to you, take a look at our list below.

Providence

Providence is one of Los Angeles’s truly decadent high-end restaurants. With a seafood-focused menu, Chef Michael Cimarusti presents wild-caught food that is always fresh and nothing less than perfect. It has won numerous awards from high-ranking publications and food critics. It also has a dimly-lit, incredibly romantic atmosphere.

The Castaway

Perched above the media district where Disney, ABC, Warners Brothers, and Universal are located, the Castaway, known as the “crown jewel of the San Fernando Valley” offers an extraordinary view and a classic steak and seafood menu. You can sit and watch the sunset as you dine, or you can enjoy the view from inside the restaurant.

The Little Door

Leave the rest of the world far behind when you visit the Little Door, a beautiful and cozy French/Mediterranean restaurant in Los Angeles. The Little Door’s magical ambience is spread over a few different areas where couples can sit and enjoy one another. There’s a piano room, a blue room, a winter garden, and a garden patio.

Yamashiro

A Japanese restaurant set high in the Hollywood Hills, Yamashiro is a hideaway that is beloved by romantics. It’s impossible to not feel romance in the air in this surrounding. The combination of delicious sushi and the stunning view is enough to keep a couple starry-eyed all night long.

Pour Vous

This is cheating a bit, because this isn’t a restaurant—it’s just a cocktail bar. However, it’s so romantic that it’s making the list anyway. Pour Vous is a Paris-style vintage bar with out-of-this-world cocktails. They also feature burlesque dancers and live music. You can even steal a kiss in the trolley car they have out back. This place is beyond elegant, and wildly romantic. Just be aware: there’s a strict dress code.

Terrace Restaurant & Lounge

How can you go wrong with belly dancers, impeccable Lebanese dishes, live music, dancing, and hookah? Terrace Restaurant in Encino offers all of this. One of the most popular hookah lounges in the area—and with good reason. Your date is sure to be impressed by one, if not all, of these romantic elements!

The Yellow House Café

Koreatown’s best-kept secret is also one of its most romantic. Small, sweet, and very charming, the Yellow House Café features a back patio with Christmas lights that is particularly beautiful at night. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, and the menu offers a variety of different foods, with a main concentration on Korean cuisine.

Faith & Flower

A breathtakingly beautiful restaurant with an Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, downtown Los Angeles’s Faith & Flower features sparkling chandeliers, cozy booths, and a wild mix of international dishes. The cocktails are also vast and crazy, in a good way—English milk punch, anyone? Even the plates your food arrives on are unique and visually stunning!

There you have it: eight Los Angeles-area restaurants that are sure to impress your date in a big way. Get ready for incredible food and a truly romantic evening. If you want to go a step further and arrange for a car service to drive you and your date around, contact us at Modern Limo. We offer outstanding cars and professional drivers with superior customer service. By taking a limo or luxury car to your restaurant of choice, you can responsibly have cocktails if you choose, or you can simply sit back, let someone else drive, and spend some quality time with your date.

Total Package Tour At The Hollywood Bowl

It’s the total package, all right! If you were born anywhere around 1980, you probably went through a time in your life where you were obsessed with New Kids On The Block, Boyz II Men, or Paula Abdul. Or maybe even all of them! If so, you can throw a party—all three of these superstar musical acts are hitting the road for the sensational summer Total Package Tour! Be still, 90s teen hearts!

This is particularly special news, as it’s Paula’s first tour in 25 years. New Kid Donnie Wahlberg says, “Our fans know we love to bring them a party, and this tour is no exception. It’s not just a show—it’s an experience. Paula Abdul is such a pop icon, and Boyz II Men are one of the best R&B acts of all time.”

Kicking off May 12 in Columbus, Ohio and finishing up in Hollywood, Florida on July 16, the Total Package Tour will be coming to the Hollywood Bowl on Friday June 2, 2107.

New Kids On The Block began in 1984 and caused nationwide hysteria amongst teenagers. They remain an extremely high-selling act. Boyz II Men emerged right on the heels on New Kids On The Block in 1985, and found major success in 1992 with their hit “End of the Road”. The two groups have toured together before, but never with Paula Abdul. Paula herself is a music icon who had hit after hit in the late 1980s, and whose first album went multi-platinum.

Seeing New Kids On The Block, Paula Abdul, and Boyz II Men all together in one show will be a dream come true for many fans. Can you imagine rolling up to this dream of a concert in a classic stretch limo? At Modern Limo Service in L.A., driving concert-goers to an incredible night of music is our specialty. We are proud to provide excellent car service and professional drivers with outstanding customer service who will get you to your show in style.

And if you’d rather take an SUV or a luxury sedan, we offer those vehicles as well. We even a Mercedes Sprinter if you want to go as a group with friends.

Luxury Car Service Will Welcome Your Actors To L.A.

As arguably the main city the world for film production, Los Angeles sees thousands of movies, shows, and commercials being made each and every day, and local filmmakers are constantly flying in out-of-town actors and actresses for their projects.

As with any business professionals, filmmakers know how important it is to make a good impression on their out-of-town guests. And what is the very first impression when someone gets off of the plane?

Their transportation, of course. This is why it’s very smart to rent an LAX car service to pick up your actor or actress from the airport. Nothing says “welcome to Los Angeles” in a professional way like a luxury car service waiting to pick a guest up. This will be impressive to and appreciated by the actor or actress who has just been on a long flight.

Car Service vs. App Services for Picking Up Guests

You may be wondering why you shouldn’t just order an Uber or Lyft to pick up your actor from the airport. After all, everyone uses app pickup services, right?

Maybe. But picking up a guest who is important to your production is a different situation that calls for special treatment. There are many reasons why you should choose a professional car service over Uber or Lyft when it comes to trying to make a good impression. Check out some of the reasons why:

The Drivers

Professional car service drivers are, well, professional. They know the do’s and don’ts of driving a guest—whereas many Uber or Lyft drivers do not. Professional car service drivers are highly trained and experienced industry experts. They understand how to read someone and know if they’re in the mood to chat or not, and they look the part. They are dressed nicely and don’t give off the impression that you’re being driven around by a schlub. They know the correct questions to ask (if any), and they can be counted on to do an excellent job. Luxury car services also require their drivers to be both registered and licensed.

Luxury Sedan Backseat

Cleanliness

With an app car service, you honestly never know what sort of vehicle you’ll be getting—or when they will arrive. Even with a ratings system, Uber or Lyft cars can be dirty, or even worse, smelly. However, with a luxury car service, you can be positive that the car transporting your guest will be impeccably cleaned, refreshing, and professional-looking. Car service drivers are required to clean their car after each passenger’s trip is finished, which ensures a clean and consistent experience each ride.

Reliability & Time-Saving

Anyone who has ever ordered an Uber or Lyft knows that the drivers can be late. Even though the app gives you an estimated pickup time, app drivers can get turned around, keeping you waiting. This is the last thing you want for an actor or actress that you’re trying to impress. They are going to be tired and very ready for a car to pick them up. With a luxury car service, you can book the car beforehand to make sure that a driver is ready and waiting.

Comfort

Although some Uber and Lyft drivers include waters or candy in their cars, these “refreshments” are always iffy. You never know how long they’ve been there, or whose hands have been around them. Professional car services offer fresh beverages and many other outstanding amenities, many of which a traveler will appreciate greatly after a long flight. And not only do luxury car services always have plenty of room for luggage, they’re also trained to help load and unload the luggage. Some Uber and Lyft drivers have trunks filled with their own things.

Overall Vibe

A luxury car service will always be a step above an app pickup service. The drivers, cars, and service all create an atmosphere of professionalism, true luxury, and comfort. An actor or actress will feel very special and taken care of with a luxury car service, and it will show them that you value them. That is a first impression that filmmakers should definitely seek out.

As you can see, a luxury car service allows your out-of-town guest to ride in comfort and style. Whether  you need to have an actor picked up from LAX, the Van Nuys Airport, or the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Modern Limo Service has you covered. We offer the best in luxury cars for rent in L.A., including executive sedans, luxury SUVs, classic stretch limos, and even a Mercedes Sprinter if you happen to have a group of actors to transport instead of just one or two. If you’re planning on welcoming actors to Los Angeles and want to make that great first impression, get an instant online quote today.

Distracted Driving Awareness Month: Guarantee Safety With A Professional Car Service

There’s no denying that distracted driving is a huge problem, causing plenty of car accidents across the nation. According to the National Safety Council, preliminary data indicates that as many as 40,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2016, a 14 percent increase since 2014 that’s risen in part to distracted driving. And that massive rise is part of why April is the National Safety Council’s Distracted Driving Awareness Month.

At Modern Limousine Service, we take distracted driving very seriously. Your safety is our top priority, and we strive to ensure all our rides are as smooth as possible. Our drivers undergo comprehensive safety training, and in honor of Distracted Driving Awareness Month, we’re passing along some of their knowledge to you.

Car accidents are on the rise. Learn more in the video below: 

What Is Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving is the act of driving while another activity takes your attention away from the road. Those activities could include making phone calls or texting, eating or drinking behind the wheel, talking to your passengers, and playing with your radio, among others.

To many people, distractions don’t seem like a big deal. They think they can multitask while behind the wheel, but even taking your eyes off the road for a second can cause a big disaster. You never know what other drivers or pedestrians are going to do, and accidents can happen at a moment’s notice.

How Many Accidents Are Caused By Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving might not seem like a big deal, but the numbers don’t lie. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015 alone there were 3,477 people killed in distracted driving accidents. Meanwhile, 391,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers.

Driver Education Prevents Distracted Driving

At Modern Limousine Service, all our drivers undergo comprehensive safety training. We ensure they hit the road with a professional mindset, making your comfort their top priority.
