Limo Service in Phoenix and the Winter Visitor MeccaThe influx of winter time guests are now arriving in Phoenix and the Valley’s winter-visitor industry has been anxiously waiting. The year round residents of Phoenix refer to these visitors, as “snowbirds”. They are welcomed with open arms as they get reacquainted to their second home and bring life back to the Phoenix metropolitan area. According to AZ Central last year the winter-visitor industry experienced the best numbers in years as the snowbirds arrived earlier and stayed longer. The reason for the rise in snowbirds last year is predicted to be due to the inflow of Canadians taking advantage of the currency exchange rate. The Center for Business Research at Arizona State University assessed that more than 300,000 visitors flock to the state during the winter and spend $350 million on lodging and $280 million on consumer goods. Phoenix limousine service is also among one of the winter visitor industries that is affected positively during this time of the season. As the summer time comes to an end and the flocks of snowbirds make their way to Arizona, limo services in Phoenix are preparing to serve the winter-visitors. Accent Limo experiences its busiest time of the year during the winter. Returning clients and new ones make the winter season for limo services in Phoenix eventful. The Phoenix metropolitan area not only offers perfect weather but also the best of hiking and golfing locations. Phoenix was recently named one of America’s top 10 hiking cities by the National Geographic Magazine, featuring South Mountain –as the largest municipal park in the world, spanning nearly 17,000 acres and 58 miles of trails. And with over 200 golf courses, Phoenix is one of the premier golf destinations in the United States. Two golf courses at Troon North Golf Club, the Monument and the Pinnacle are both ranked in “Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Courses you can Play in the U.S”. Phoenix has earned its name as the Winter Visitor Mecca, offering continuous sunny days and the best temperatures during the winter season.

How to choose a wedding limo in Phoenix
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011The whole process of planning a wedding can be both stressful and hectic. One of the most important elements of your special day is your wedding limousine service. We’ve compiled a short list of how to choose the right wedding limo to make your day perfect.
- Book your limo at least three months early, that way you can eliminate the last minute frustration of not finding the limo you want because it has already been booked. Remember in the greater Phoenix area, the months between November and May are the busiest.
- Choose reliability over price, you want to select a reliable limo service, the last thing you want to do is risk the limousine showing up late or not showing up at all. Ask your greater Phoenix limo service to provide you with verifiable reviews. Ours is done by an outside company – http://www.customerlobby.com/reviews/8451/accent-transportation-services-dba-accent-limo/
- Ask and make sure that the limousine company you’re dealing with is licensed and insured. Ask to see their insurance certificate and their weight & measures sticker to make sure their vehicles are properly licensed with the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures.
- Before booking, schedule an appointment to see the limo. Most companies use stock photos instead of actual pictures of their limousines. At Accent Limo, we’ve posted pictures of our limos on our facebook page- www.facebook.com/transaccent. You want to make sure the cars are new model, in good condition, and cleanly kept.
- Make sure they offer wedding packages. At Accent Limo we offer a red carpet special with complimentary soft drinks, bottled water Just Married signs and decorations that match your wedding color scheme.We will also cater to any additional requests the couple have to help make their wedding day memorable
- Last, but not least ask whether they’re a member of national & local organizations. Accent Limo is a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau – (http://ethicalaz.com/accenttransportationservices/), National Limousine Association, and Arizona Limousine Association – (http://azlimousineassociation.org/articles/members).
- The most important thing is to choose a greater Phoenix limo service that’s committed to make your wedding day truly special.
Accent Limo's Chrysler 300
World’s First Super SUV
Monday, September 19th, 2011We see the world altering around us every day with constant technological advances. Well on the 13th of September the Britain based car manufacturer Eterniti revealed at the International Frankfurt Motor Show for the first time the Eterniti Hemera, the world’s first super SUV. This new vehicle is going to be based on the platform of the Porsche Cayenne. It is to be hand made in London producing a remarkable 620 bhp (brake horse power) and a top speed of over 180 mph. Production will begin in early 2012 and will be available for sale by summer time. The automobile manufacturer Eterniti intends to become a boutique luxury carmaker, their production of the “limo-like” vehicle Hemera has a rear cabin, with twin reclining rear seats, twin iPads with wireless keyboards and a drinks chiller.
For a world without limits is the slogan for the Hemera. Although minimum information has been released about the Hemera, many other luxury interior components are expected. The engineering team is led by Alastair Macqueen, who was in charge for the making of the Jaguar XJ220 supercar and has won the Le Mans 24-Hour race with both Jaguar and Bentley. Eterniti is planning to establish its first facility in London featuring a showroom, car build and service center, and a separate area where customers can create custom specifications for their cars, which will be hand-built on site. More of these facilities are expected to open around the world in key international cities, one of them being Hong Kong, starting in 2012.
The UK based car maker Eterniti motors is trying to make a distinct name of its company, debuting its first car as the first super SUV in the world, something that other luxury car manufacturers have not done yet. It is anticipated to sale for an estimate of $238,000. Also due to its compact 4 x 4 dimension, the vehicle has an option of self-drive as well as chauffeured. But of course in this type of vehicle chauffeured drive would be desired.
This vehicle is talked about as revolutionary because it offers intense luxury. Accent Limo’s aim as a transportation company has always been offering clients with a world of pure luxury to get you to your destination in comfort and style. Each of our vehicles is equipped with In-Car Wi-Fi, XM Satellite Radio and GPS Navigation. We offer complimentary bottled water and the latest magazines such as Business Week, Forbes or Fortune and local and national newspapers to enhance your journey. Choose Accent if productivity while travelling is on top of your list when selecting your car service.
Phoenix Limo Service or Taxi?
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010
You are rushing to get to or from the airport for that important business meeting – the one you can’t miss. Time is of the essence, you want to arrive looking calm, cool and relaxed. Do you choose a town car service or a taxi for your Phoenix airport transportation?
The old saying, “you get what you pay for comes to mind” in more ways than you might think.
Given that Accent Transportation Services is in the business of service, providing Phoenix airport executive car service, Scottsdale airport limo service and special event transportation, I found it very interesting that Phoenix’s City Council is considering regulating taxi cabs.
The fact that taxis need to be regulated is just one more reason to consider choosing a town car service. In a recent Arizona Republic article, “Council to weigh taxi regulations,” the City Council indicated it is consider developing citywide regulations.
Councilman Tom Simplot said large cab companies self-regulate, but he’s concerned about the “fly by night, dangerous gypsy cabs.” He noted that, “If you’re a consumer, you should be able to sit in the backseat of a cab and know who the driver is and that he isn’t an ax murderer.”
I’ve heard horror stories of people’s “adventures” in cabs. The owner of the Clarendon Hotel posted in response to the Arizona Republic story. He went on to write that he has seen guests arrive at the hotel in tears, knowing that they’d been taken advantage of and has watched arguments break out in front of the hotel after a cabbie picked up four people coming from the airport and charged them all full fare.
I’m not going to even address the safety issues surrounding working seatbelts and door locks in taxis. Not every taxi has these issues. However, a reputable car service will definitely not have these issues.
Selecting a car service over a taxi guarantees you several things – the least being peace of mind. When selecting a car service make sure they offer the following, which are standard with Accent Transportation Services, offerings.
- An on-time guarantee, backed by a first hour free policy
- Professional drivers with exemplary driving records, that go through rigorous medical & background checks
- Complimentary in-car WiFi and recharging of your phones, computers and other devices
- Full vehicle amenities including bottled waters, daily newspapers and magazines
- A simple reservation process: via phone 24/7, via email or online reservation
- The highest levels of insurance coverage, all city and Phoenix airport transportation permits, a Better Business Bureau member in good standing, a member of the National Limousine Association, Arizona Livery Association, Meeting Planners International as well as a member of the Scottsdale and Phoenix Convention & Visitors Bureaus.
There are many other reasons to choose a car service over a taxi. We would love the opportunity to provide more tips to meet and exceed your travel expectations.
