Holiday Lights Tour – Greater Phoenix Tradition
Monday, November 28th, 2011
The Christmas spirit is in the air now that Thanksgiving has officially passed. The month of December is filled with various holiday festivities and among them is the Valley’s tradition of displaying the most extravagant of holiday lights. As single family homes transform themselves into a Christmas wonderland, in the Greater Phoenix area you can expect anything from candy-cane houses, animation carved characters, a Ferris wheel, petting zoos, and various unique forms of live entertainment. One family house in Chandler is famous for serving popcorn, cocoa and cookies as they show holiday movies.
Arizona Celebration of Lights is a drive thru holiday lights display in Phoenix starts on November 19th and last through January 1st 2012. The organizers of this particular tour say that it is the state of Arizona’s largest display of holiday lights with more than 7,000,000 lights and 300 animated and still displays. On average about 140,000 people and 15, 000 cars pass through the display during this joyous season. This holiday tour lasts about a mile as you pass through five tunnels. They are open Sunday through Thursday and you can enjoy the holiday lights from 5:30pm to 9:00pm and on Friday, Saturdays and holidays their opened an extra hour, closing at 10pm. Glendale Glitters is another holiday tour in the area between November 25th and January 14th. A Holiday celebration in the historic downtown of Glendale is with 1.5 million multi-colored holiday lights throughout a twelve block area, from 6 to 10pm every evening. The majority of the holiday lights in the valley is spirited by single family homes, who open their yards to strangers in the spirit of Christmas, making it the best time of the year.
Accent Transportation can be apart of your Christmas as we will gladly tour you and your family around the extravagant holiday lights, giving you the peace to watch the lights from the back seat, relaxed and enjoying the company of your family and friends.
Phoenix: The Winter Visitor Mecca
Monday, November 21st, 2011
Dear Winter-Visitors,
We welcome you with open arms and we look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,
AccentLimo
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.

Phoenix Limo Service to Cardinals Game
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011The 4 ½ month NFL lockout is thankfully over and … Sunday Football is back. Are you as excited as Accent? The Arizona Cardinal’s finished preseason games 2-2 with a great win against the Denver Bronco’s last night. The first game for the Cardinal’s regular season is on Sunday September 11 against the Carolina Panthers. This game will mark the beginning of their journey towards what else but the super bowl. In only 16 regular season games the Cardinal’s faith to enter the playoffs will be determined. Thus makes every single game in these 17 weeks of the regular season games crucial. So meaning there’s only 8 home games for the Cardinals, all games will be on Sundays… Home game schedule is listed below.
Luckily in Phoenix you can enjoy a Cardinal’s game in summer-like weather all throughout the season, unlike in the North and the East where they have to wear layers of clothing and heating pads in their gloves while sitting in the stadium (just something to be thankful for). Accent Transportation will also be of service to transport you to and from the University of Phoenix Stadium in style. Please call us to reserve a Town Car, SUV, stretch limousine or a mini bus before we sale out.

How to Choose the best limo service in the greater Phoenix area
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Whether you are selecting a Phoenix airport limo service to travel to/from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport or a Scottsdale limo service for a night on the town to celebrate that special occasion in old town, Accent Transportation Services dba Accent Limo wants to exceed your expectations. Our goal is to make the transportation portion of your plan as flawless, convenient and carefree as possible.
Given that Accent Transportation Services is in the limousine business in the greater Phoenix area, we wanted to provide our readers and prospective clients with some tips on what to look for when hiring a limousine service.
Here are few things you should keep in mind when selecting a limousine service:
– First and foremost make sure that the company carries the appropriate local, State and national licenses and is properly insured.
– Ask what type of vehicles are on their fleet and how old they are.
– Ask for an all inclusive rate so you’re not surprised with all the ad-ins later.
– Ask the exact passenger capacity of the limousine you are booking so your guests won’t end up driving their own cars and there is room for your luggage while going to the airport.
– If you’re booking an airport limo from Sky Harbor airport, make sure your limo will be there whether your flight is early or late. That means you need to confirm that the company you’re dealing with automatically tracks your flights and shows up accordingly vs. claiming that your booking was for a certain time and billing you wait time; even though your flight didn’t land until half an hour later.
– Last but not least your trip is too important not to get your itinerary in writing and to check and see what others say about the service. To ensure a perfect trip, request a written receipt – using a major credit card can help – or an itinerary. Also, looking for references on the car service’s Web site or request them is a good idea. Finally, you should receive an electronic confirmation of your entire trip within a few minutes of booking your ride.
We hope you found these tips useful and that they contribute to making your important trip a great experience.
