Why You Should Hire a Car Service on New Years Eve in Northeast Ohio
Why You Should Hire a Car Service on New Years Eve in
Northeast Ohio:
Take the Party with You, Renting
professional chauffeured transportation for your New Years Eve provides the
ability to bring all your friends along for the ride. When renting a limousine
or party bus you are able to split the cost between your friends and all enjoy
celebrating while heading to each location. Our largest party bus can seat 36
passengers which makes the cost as low as $16.00 per person for a night of fun
you’ll always remember!
Celebrate the New Year at one of the
great local events! Who wants to sit at home on December 31st when
you can be out having fun on New Years Eve. There are so many great parties
going on in Northeast Ohio that you can be part of at great locations like:
a.
First Night Akron
b.
House
of Blues Cleveland
c.
Jack Casino
d.
ThistleDown Racino
e.
Bourbon Street Barrel Room
f.
Lago
g.
Graffiti – A Social Kitchen
h.
The 100th Bomb Group
i.
Barley House
j.

k.

n.

And so many many more!
What’s great about booking car service is door to door service so you will be
dropped off right at your location without all the hassle of finding and paying
for parking.
Celebrate the New Year by creating your
own New Years Party! Gather your friends and go out on a custom planned evening
specific to your group. Go on a Brewery Tour, Pub Crawl, Winery Tour, hit up
the casinos, or just head out to your favorite restaurant for dinner. The great
thing is your professional chauffeur will take you where ever the night takes
you at the moment your ready to go. No waiting for a cab service or paying per
stop the night is yours to do as you wish.
Drink & Ride! Traveling with a
private chauffeured service is truly the only way to legally drink while
driving with the confidence that your sober chauffeur will get you to the next
destination safely and on-time. Whether you’re booking our point to point
service in a Sedan or SUV or a hourly service in a Limousine or Party Bus you
are able to enjoy your favorite alcoholic beverage in route to and from your
destinations.
It’s Cheaper! Hiring a private
chauffeur for the night is far cheaper than getting a DUI or worse involved in
an accident. These days a DUI can haunt you for years and cost thousands in
legal fines and fees. Plus there is the danger of injury, lawsuits and
fatalities caused from having one too many drinks earlier in the evening.
Driving multiple vehicles to meet up together with friends involves lots of
gas, traffic confusion, navigating to destinations, and parking fees. Then
there are taxi cabs and ride-sharing services that mark up the pricing or put
surge pricing into place that results in unknown fees and higher pricing an end
up being the same if not more then the luxury and convenience of limousine
services. Know what price you are paying before the night begins so you have no
worries about hidden cost or fees. Then let’s not forget that you save money on
high bar drink costs by having your own beverages in the vehicle.
Safety & Security!! Safe travel
on New Year’s Eve should be a primary concern even if you have not had anything
to drink. New Year’s Eve fatalities are twice as likely to happen as any other
night of the year. New Year’s Eve is also the most dangerous night for
pedestrians to be struck by intoxicated drivers. When hiring a professional
ground transportation you will have the security of being dropped of directly
at your location so you will not have to walk busy streets or encounter
problematic people walking to your destination or waiting for your ride. Then
there is the added security of not having your personal vehicle out and about
in all the chaos that New Years Eve brings.
It’s Classy! Ring in the New Year in a luxury
Limousine or Party Bus and turn heads as you arrive in style. All our vehicles
are newer models and are always set to impress. Our limousines have
style, and while you may not have a date for New Year’s Eve, a limo might just
help you get one before the night is out. Showing up to an event in a
professional chauffeured vehicles say’s “A VIP has arrived” every time!
Turn heads this New Years Eve and be the life
of the party by booking limousine service with A Touch of Class Limousine
Service for all your transportation needs in Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and all
other parts of Northeast Ohio.

Questions to ask your potential Wedding Transportation Company
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR LIMO COMPANY BEFORE BOOKING SERVICE:
·
What
training requirements do you have for your drivers?
o
In
Ohio the Department of transportation or DOT requires all drivers of vehicles
over 9 passengers pass a physical and hold a current medical card. You also want to make sure that whoever is driving you
on your big day has had a proper background check and also has gone through
training.
·
What
attire will he driver arrive in?
o
Many companies require a certain dress
code for the chauffeur, as they will publicly visible when they arrive at your
event. Limousine drivers should be professional and dressed appropriately.
·
What
models do you offer?
o
There are many different kind of
limousines or vehicles available. Some wedding parties are looking for a
stretch limousine or party bus while some companies offer budget friendly but
still nice vans or shuttle buses to transport your party. Ask what kind of
options they have available or your group size and pricing.
·
Can
I request a certain model or vehicle?
o
Often a limousine company will offer
several different models under the same price blanket or passenger capacity if
you have a preference make sure you specify which one your prefer and that it’s
noted in your agreement.
- Year,
Make, Model, and Color of each vehicle you will be using?
o
Ask what type of vehicle you are getting
upfront and noted in your agreement so you know you are getting exactly what
you are looking for on your wedding day.
·
How
many people can I bring with me?
o
Livery vehicles will have a predetermined
passenger capacity but that maximum capacity might not be the most comfortable depending
on varying sizes. The passenger capacity is often based on the average size
adult so be sure to ask how many comfortably in formal wear will fit in the
vehicle. If a company will allow you to bring more people than the vehicle is licensed
for on a vehicle beware because professional limousine companies must follow
these passenger counts for safety and insurance reasons.
·
Do
you charge services by mileage or by the hour?
o
This answer will determine whether you
can cruise around or travel to several different photo locations. It’s also
good to find out their overtime policy and if you go over your scheduled time
how that overage will be charged. Make sure you be aware of any possible miscellaneous
charges or fees.
·
What
does your insurance policy cover?
o
Discovering what is covered by the
limousine company’s insurance policy will help you in event of an fender bender
or more serious accident. Plus making sure you get insurance information will guarantee
you are working with a legally licensed company.
·
Do
you guarantee your services?
o
What happens if you are completely
unsatisfied with your service received Limousines are an expensive luxury, and
anything on the fault of the driver or chauffeur that compromises the class
status of this event should be guaranteed against.
·
Do
you provide complimentary champagne or alcohol?
o
It is illegal in the state of Ohio for
limousine companies to provide alcohol to their clients. Clients can bring in whatever
sort of alcohol they would like but it cannot be provided by the company. The limousine
company can be fined and a reservation interrupted should they be caught
providing that. So while the thought is nice make sure you book with a company who
is following laws and regulations to have a smooth wedding day. Companies must
also be a registered livery company in order to be able allow passengers to
consume alcohol in their vehicles. Drinking in a vehicle from a non-registered
and insured company could result in “open container” ticketing from law
enforcement as per Ohio Revised Code 4503.24.
·
Will
we need to set our route ahead of time?
o
It’s a good idea to route ahead of time,
although most companies and drivers are flexible. If there are certain
destinations that you would absolutely like to hit along the way, make sure you
give the names and addresses to your driver so they can plan the best route and
make sure if using a large vehicle they can access the area.
·
Do
you have a contract?
o
For every business transaction, it is
important to have a written and signed contract before the money changes hands.
This will help you to know what is expected of you and what you can expect from
the limousine company and the driver.
·
Can
I view the vehicle before I book?
o
Make sure you ask if you have an option
to look before you book this will allow you to view your vehicle and make sure
you get what you paid for on your wedding day. To many companies show beautiful
pictures but don’t actually show up on your wedding day with that vehicle or do
what is called a “Bait and Switch” causing unnecessary frustration and
disappointment on what should be a happy day.
·
Do
you offer any wedding packages?
o
Some companies offer pre-planned packages that
will save you money when bundling services like wedding limousine and guest
shuttles. It’s good to get all your options presented.
·
Is
tax and driver gratuity included in your pricing?
o
Several companies include the drivers
gratuity and tax already in the pricing to save you from surprise fees. This
also will help you determine the best price value so if there is only a
difference in pricing by $50-$100 and one includes tax and gratuity but the
cheaper one does not then you know why. A company not collecting tax is in
violation of state law so that also could be a red flag as to their legal
standings as a company.
- Do
you offer sedan/van transport to/from the airport for our guests?
o
Several companies do not just offer limousine
service but can offer your out of town guests airport transportation service or
you honeymoon transportation services at a discounted rate when booking wedding
day service with them.
·
Are there any additional charges
(tax, tolls, fuel, parking, etc)
o
Don’t get hit with any additional charges find out up front what is and
is not included in your rate.
·
What
are the back-up options if a vehicle breaks down on the day of the wedding?
o It is important to know what the
options are if a vehicle is unable to get to the venue. Knowing your options if
something were to happen will relieve stress and also make sure that there is a
definite back-up plan.
·
Will the vehicles
have their own GPS system?
o Make sure that
the chauffeur will have directions to your venue. Nobody wants to get lost on
the way to the venue, so make sure the directions are clear.
·
What do you
recommend for timing?
o Asking how long a
service last is a great question, as well as discussing pick-up and drop-off
times. This will help you avoid being late by making sure the driver knows and
agrees to your itinerary.
·
Can you provide
me with professional references?
o Wedding vendors
will only refer other professional and quality wedding vendors so when looking
to book with Limousine Company ask for professional references you can reach
out to or ask for testimonials from previous couples.
·
What review sites
are you on?
o Ask what sites
you can view their reviews on but make sure you are looking at sites that scan
for fake reviews so you are only getting actual client reviews.
About 4 to 5 months before your wedding date make sure you have reserved transportation for your bridal party and whoever else will be riding with you. Also, confirm your reservation at least 1 week before your wedding! Ask your wedding transportation provider to give you driver details and contact number prior to your wedding so you have it on hand should you need it on your wedding day. It's also good to have a point of contact for the limousine company that is not yourself that way any last minute coordination or questions can be addressed and can take care of processing any remaining balances due. Your wedding day should be one of the happiest moments of your life so asking the right questions will help you ensure you have a company that will provide you with the best for your big day!
