Tucson Weekend Getaway

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” this memorable quote from the 1980 film The Shining has become a widespread and prevalent quote in American culture. After a long strenuous work week it should only be right to give the same amount of energy to some fun on the weekend.

For all the Arizonians that are looking for a weekend getaway, Tucson is the perfect location. Today it’s known as home to the University of Arizona but Tucson is one of the oldest towns in America, originally an Indian Village called “stook-zone” it first became a part of the United States through the Gadsden Purchase of 1854. Tucson also once served as the capital of the Arizona territory from 1867-1877.

It has a small town feel and maybe the best Mexican restaurant in Arizona. You have choices to stay at any of the reasonably priced family friendly resorts like the JW Marriot Starr Pass Resort and Spa, which could be a golfer’s paradise as well as a 4 year olds dream land of a lazy river and a water slide. After staying at the JW for Labor Day weekend, I would recommend this resort to families or couples looking to relax for the weekend. The resort is also strategically placed high in elevation to overview the city of Tucson.  Making it the perfect getaway for the whole family and to rejuvenate you from all of your hard work and of course Accent would love to assist you with your traveling plans to Tucson. So you won’t have to worry about the drive, you can lay back and watch a movie in our new model Cadillac Escalade ESV or sipping a glass of wine in one of our stretch limousines on the one and a half hour drive to Tucson.

World’s First Super SUV

Monday, September 19th, 2011

We 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.

The Complete Bowl Game Experience

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010


Arizona is hosting not one or two but three bowl games! We’ve got the 22nd annual Insight Bowl – featuring Missouri vs. Iowa, the 40th Annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
 with Connecticut vs. Oklahoma and of course the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game
 – Auburn vs. Oregon. Why not, we’ve got great weather, amazing facilities to play in and plenty of things to do and see while you soak up the sun.

Whether you’re flying in from out of town and you need Phoenix Sky Harbor airport transportation or a Scottsdale airport limo service or you’re just planning a big day of football, choosing a car service can make a big difference. Securing a car service means you don’t need to jump into a cab or rent a car – eliminating the need to sit in an uncomfortable car in game-day traffic. In addition, you will get to truly enjoy pre and post game festivities. This means no parking hassles, no getting lost on the way back to your hotel or the airport and most importantly no need to worry about a designated driver.

Consider how much more enjoyable the bowl game experience will be with custom tours, in a luxury Lincoln town car, stretch limo or stretch Chrysler limo, for you and your friends before the game or after if you extend your stay. Once you’re in the car, you are afforded many options, including:

- Surfing the Internet to view box scores, posting comments on social media sites or emailing friend to share the bowl game experience using complimentary in-car WiFi

- Recharging iPhones, Droids, your Blackberry, iPad or other electronic devices

- Receiving flight status updates from your driver

When you decide you want to use a car service or limo rather than driving yourself, make sure you look for several things in your game-day transportation. After all, you want your experience to be smooth, care and stress free. Make sure the car service offers several thing, all standard with Accent Transportation Services, including an on-time guarantee, backed by a first hour free policy. Whether you’re being picked up from home or the airport, things can get delayed. There may not be weather issues in AZ; however, there may be at your originating airport. The one thing you don’t need to worry about is whether your car service will be there or not.

In addition, you want to make sure the car service offers full vehicle amenities, including bottled water and other refreshments. It’s not fun to jump in the car thinking you can sip an ice-cold water or another beverage only to find out that’s not included.

Finally, make sure you get an electronic confirmation of your trip (we can send it to your smart phone). Besides, your hands will be full with your favorite team’s logo gear! The last parting bit of advice is probably the most important. Make sure the car service carries the highest levels of insurance coverage as well as proper city and Phoenix airport transportation permits. A fun bowl game experience can be ruined if your driver is pulled over for violations.

There are many other reasons to choose a car service or limo, including the ability to plan pre and post-game activities. We would love the opportunity to share more or to meet and exceed your game-day needs. Call 602-904-6232 or 480-389-2142 and mention that you read our blog, follow us on Twitter at @transaccent or friend us at http://www.facebook.com/transaccent and we’ll take 10 percent off your roundtrip.

Planning a Wedding? Know What to Ask For in Your Greater Phoenix Limo Service company?

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010


A wedding is a once in a lifetime experience, which many brides dream of and plan for months upon months if not years. The last thing you want to go wrong is the transportation. Whether your out-of-town guests require a Phoenix airport limo service, the bride and her bridesmaid require a limo service to the church or the bride and groom need a limousine service to their hotel after the reception, your transportation shouldn’t be on your mind. An unprofessional, late or missing limousine service can add stress, embarrassment and cost to your special day.


Accent Transportation Services dba Accent Limo, wants to provide you with five things to consider as you plan your wedding.


1). The first question to ask is who you need to provide transportation for. Traditionally, the bride and her bridesmaids are transported to the ceremony. The best man usually arranges a ride for the groom to the wedding. The groom doesn’t join the bride in the limousine until after the ceremony. In addition, a limousine service should be provided for the bride’s parents, for the children in the wedding and for important guests.


OFTEN MISSED: proper planning for the number of occupants in each vehicle. You do not want to squeeze people in as it is uncomfortable and it gets hot when wearing formal wear in close quarters. You may need 2-3 limousines to properly transport your wedding party. When planning your transportation, make sure to consult not just with the limousine service provider but with your wedding planner and trusted friends.


2). Consider the safety of your guests. Renting a mini coach to transport your out of town guests virtually eliminates late arrivals to the ceremony. In addition, transportation from the reception back to your guest’s hotel avoids drinking and driving, which can ruin the entire day. If you don’t want service for every guest, an executive van or a mini coach can be a better alternative. In addition, mini coach or bus transportation adds yet another memorable element to your big day.


3). On the Clock: If you have not allowed for enough time for unexpected delays in your ceremony the most unexpected element may be that your limousine service isn’t there or adds to your bill. Always add an additional hour on top of the time you think you’ll require. Think about the time it takes to properly greet in a receiving line or take photographs. Your day should be filled with joy – not stress over timelines. Also, do not assume your limousine service provider has time in their schedule to add an hour or two for your service. They may have another wedding scheduled immediately after yours. Scheduling ahead of time is key to a successful day.


4). Check them Out: You should always know what to expect. A visit to the limousine service to see the car you’ll be driven in and to get a written confirmation is a wise option. On your visit, ask for references, and make sure to ask them what happens in case of a mechanical breakdown. Finally, use of a major credit card proves that your booking was set in stone.


5). Here’s a Tip: Your chauffeur works hard and should be tipped at least 20 percent of the total bill. That said you probably aren’t carrying cash in your wedding dress or tuxedo. Ask the limousine service if they would include the tip in the overall charge.


There are many more things to consider but these five tips will help you on your way toward ensuring the transportation portion of your wedding day is uneventful. We would love the opportunity to provide more tips to make your limousine service flawless. Mention that you read our blog, follow us on Twitter at @transaccent or friend us at http://www.facebook.com/transaccent and we’ll take 10 percent off your total trip.

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.

What is Customer Service (Part II)?

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

In the first blog of this two-part series, I asked what makes a company stand out over others. My theory was that is was part price, part value and part services offered with a healthy amount of “presentation” as they say in the culinary world.

The Bloomberg Businessweek article “Standouts in Customer Service,” ranked the top 25 standouts for 2010. I thought this topic deserved further attention and have included a few tips from the winners.

No. 1: L.L. Bean: famous for its lenient return policies, L.L. Bean now offers free shipping on outbound deliveries and returns. In addition, when it announced the closure of a call center in 2009, L.L. Bean gave employees the option to work as home-based agents rather than outsourcing the work.

No. 2: USAA: this innovative company is giving customers the flexibility they desire by offering bank deposits via iPhone and is working on a way for customers to handle an entire accident claim via smartphones as well as making peer-to-peer payments.

No. 3: Apple: options such as Apple’s “Genius Bar” appointments as well as roaming in-store checkout clerks are new ways Apple is upping its customer service game. Apples reputation for customer service is further engrained by customer-friendly iPhone apps created by other companies.

No. 4: Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts: there is nothing like a national financial crisis to put a hurt on luxury brands. The Four Seasons responded by easing meeting planner policies as well as cross-training back-office employees to do double duty.

No. 5: Publix Super Markets: a power player in the Southeast, Publix recently installed an inventory software system to automate order replenishments, which improved “out-of-stocks” by 19 percent. What is Publix’s customer service secret – ownership. The 1000-store chain gives all workers a grant of the grocery giant’s privately held stock.

Accent Transportation Services is in the business of service, providing Phoenix airport executive car service, Phoenix and Scottsdale limo service and special event transportation, which means this topic is of interest to us! As I reviewed the top 25 customer service winners, and specifically the top five, two common themes emerged. Those themes are doing business the way the customer wants it done (iPhone apps, no hassle returns and relaxing policies to earn trust) and ownership (providing employees an actual part of the company).

There a few things in the world that have more impact than helping employees see their connection to a company’s success or proactively changing how your customers interact with your services. We hope you’ve found this information useful. Let us know your customer service tips and what has worked for you. You can reach us on Twitter at @transaccent or friend us at http://www.facebook.com/transaccent. We’ll give you a 10 percent roundtrip discount for sharing your thoughts.
