Customer Guide to Purchasing Professional Transportation.

Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc. has put together this transportation guide for your reference; please feel free to use this guide when choosing your ground transportation provider.

If there is one thing consumers learn the hard way in any business, including the limousine business, is that the least expensive option is by all means not the most reliable and efficient. As a meeting planner, are you willing to take a chance on having your CEO or President missed at the airport and late for that important meeting? As a general consumer, well, no one wants to be late for his or her own wedding or frustrated by not having transportation arrive for that special event.

Typically, most chauffeured limousine needs are for "Special Occasion Service" or "Corporate or Group Move Transportion." There are, however, some common standards that any service provider should meet before you retain their service. Here are some tips you should keep in mind as you choose your transportion service provider.

• NLA Membership
• Livery Insurance
• Vehicle Operating Authority and License
• Vehicle and Company Inspection
• Special Occasion Service
• Corporate Transportation

NLA MEMBERSHIP

Members of the National Limousine Association agree to abide by a code of ethics, which emphasizes professional conduct and fidelity to the interest of the client. An NLA member is serious about their business and voluntarily makes an investment of money and time in their industry. An NLA member has access to seminars and reference material to further their ongoing professional education in order to go above and beyond the clients needs and expectations.

Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc. is a proud member of the NLA.

LIVERY INSURANCE

Operators should be eager to provide proof of valid, current insurance coverage for their fleet. Because commercial passenger for hire insurance is very expensive, the incentive is high to insure vehicles under a personal policy, if at all. This may not cover the client who hired the vehicle. This allows non-insured and/or underinsured companies to offer lower rates to prospective clients. There are many cases where clients have been successfully sued for negligence attributed to a vehicle under their hire, because the transportation company either lacked insurance or was grossly underinsured.

While an alarming number of companies operate without insurance, quality companies operate legally. You can get a copy of their certificate of insurance.

Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc., is insured and meets the State of New Mexico, the State of Texas and the U.S. Department of Transportation's insurance requirements.

VEHICLE OPERATING AUTHORITY and LICENSING

This varies from state to state. Some states and municipalities have no regulations while others stringently enforce both vehicle and chauffeur licensing. You should check, particularly if you plan to cross state or city boundaries. In many places, the vehicle can be stopped and immediately impounded if found not in compliance. Most major airports have some regulation of providers, and if a provider is in good standing there, they are probably complying elsewhere. The NLA is happy to assist you in determining the regulations in your area.

Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc. holds the proper state and federally required licenses and permits. Our numbers are proudly displayed on our vehicles and advertisements.

VEHICLE and COMPANY INSPECTION

Anyone can sound beautiful over the phone. If you haven't used a provider before and time allows, always visit the company in person before hiring them. The time to find out what you are getting is not when the vehicle shows up, and you have no choice but to accept a poor product. While visiting a provider, not only inspect the vehicle inside and out but also note the cleanliness of the offices and the presentation of the office staff. It is unlikely that a poorly organized front office will train detail-oriented employees. Like most important purchases, it's best to look before you buy.

Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc. will always try to accommodate your schedule in order to meet with you. We encourage you to visit our office and see first hand the quality and condition of our vehicle.

SPECIAL OCCASION SERVICE

Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and proms are special occasions that commonly require personalized attention to your specific requirements. Whether it is a certain color of car or your favorite bottle of bubbly chilled to perfection, these details are important when using a special occasion limousine.

Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc. appreciates the fact that you are inviting us to be apart of your very special day. Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc. contracts all reservations with their clients as well as confirms them three days to one week prior to their special day so the chance of error is very small.

CORPORATE TRANSPORTATION

All corporate transportation must be prompt, reliable, flexible and respect the time of the client. A good corporate transportation company will do so while placing your traveler in a safe and comfortable "mobile office" which maximizes their time. Time normally spent renting a car, finding your way in a strange city, parking, buying gas and walking in the rain will be better spent preparing for your meeting or catching up on correspondence. According to Business Travel Management Magazine, an executive earning $50,000 per year will cost their company more by renting a car than a chauffeured sedal or limousine.

Be certain to choose a reputable provider with a good track record so they will make your company look great! Do not be influenced by a cheap price or a glitzy car. The prettiest limousine in the world has no value to the corporate traveler who just missed an important appointment or flight because their car was late or malfunctioned - even at a cheap price.

Carefully selecting a quality provider will assure mobility and efficiency while making the best use of the traveler's time and money.

Las Cruces Limousine Service, Inc. can accommodate groups with a diverse line of vehicles. The hallmarks of commerce are accountability, professionalism and timely performance. To conduct business at today's demanding pace you require consistent transportation that mirrors these attributes. Las Cruces Limousine Service can assist in getting you where business dictates. Offering your traveling executive and company visitors a chauffeured vehicle is an appropriate reflection of the value you place upon them.
