The Pros of Airport Limo Transportation

For airport transportation, there’s no better choice than using a limousine service. Drivers meet their clients in the airport and direct them in finding their luggage. They help collect their luggage and give that extra special feeling. Don’t you like seeing your name on a tablet or placard? Doesn’t it make you feel special? When you see drivers holding placards for others, aren’t you wondering who Tom Smith is? Is he important? He must be! He’s got his name on a sign – with his own driver!

This is the type of experience that money CAN buy – especially for when you have clients or customers coming into town via the airport.

Limo service offers convenience and complete anonymity to passengers. In addition to making their passengers feel special, you can be completed relaxed. No more using maps or struggling with the GPS to try and find the closest restaurant or your hotel. Your driver can provide valuable local information.

And your ride can also be your office. Not only can you have a meeting on the run, but you can prepare or just relax in the comfort you experience by our tinted windows and experienced drivers. Our drivers are completely discreet. Or image the feeling that a potential client feels when they are picked up at the airport. Instead of your assistant or secretary picking them up, they arrive in style – feeling the care and attention that you put into their transportation needs.

What about when you are going to the airport? Wouldn’t it be nicer for your family to be able to say goodbye to you at home rather than battle through traffic, double park and the curb and watch you walk in to the airport? If you live in an area with expensive road tolls, using a limo service for your airport transportation just makes sense. You’ll get a receipt to expense to your employer as well. No more long expense reports with mileage, parking fees and toll charges. Take control of your airport transportation experience. Whether for you, a family member or client, limo transportation is for you!

Limousine Services Are Perfect For Any Event

When you are hosting an event, you want everything to be perfect. So what do you do to take care of your guest’s transportation needs? Do you suggest they take an Uber or a taxi? What type of experience do you want them to have with you, your event or even your company?

There’s something timeless and classic about using a limousine service. Celebrities, politicians and other socialites have been using limo service for years. There is a certain type of class that exudes from being driven to and from your event and location in style.

Weddings are an extremely popular option for limousine service and transportation. When is there a bigger day in your life or in the life of your son or daughter where you don’t want them to have to worry about small details on such an important day. Do you really want to worry about where to park on your wedding day? What about traffic jams? Who wants to feed a parking meter at a special event? A limo service not only takes these items off your plate, they make you and your guests feel very special and classy to arrive in style.

But limousine service is not just for weddings. When we have a loss in our life, a limo service can really help with logistics. Funeral services frequently use limousine services because of their timeless look and feel. In addition to the perfect look, it is the perfect way to travel with friends and family. You can comfortably fit more people in a limo than any other vehicle. Imagine cramming six of your closest friends in formal attire in a sedan or minivan. It’s just not as practical. You don’t want to have to worry about driving yourself on an emotional day.

You can have this type of experience for your guests no matter what your budget. Imagine holding a dinner party and mentioning that you’ll have a “car” pick them up.

Don’t worry about using an app, calling a taxi or trying to coordinate rides for these special events. Take the logistics off the table and give your attendees the class and attention that they truly deserve with a limousine service that they will remember. And they will remember your event for all the right reasons, not for any hassles like trying to find a parking space.

Limo 805 wants to help you achieve maximum fun at your next event! We are available to provide safe, reliable and stylish transportation in and around the Los Angeles area. Call or contact Limo 805 to book your limo or party bus for your next special occasion!

Wedding Limo Packages to Consider for Your Big Day!

After months or maybe even years of careful planning, waiting and dreaming, your wedding day is finally around the corner! As you cross off all of the items on your seemingly endless to-do list, make sure you consider hiring a reliable limo service to transport you, your bridal party and any guests of honor to your wedding venue safely and in style. After all, wouldn’t it be nice to have one less thing to worry about on your big day? Limo 805 offers a variety of wedding packages to brides and grooms throughout the Los Angeles area.

Transportation to Ceremony Venue- Our most straightforward wedding limo service is transportation for you, your groom and your bridal party to the location where the ceremony will be held. This is a great way to ensure that everyone arrives on time with no traffic delays, auto breakdowns, or other catastrophes that can set back the start time of your ceremony. Since most couples prefer to not see one another before the big moment when you walk down the aisle, many clients prefer to have the groom and his attendants book a separate limo from the bride and her attendants.

Transportation from Ceremony to Reception- If you are having your wedding reception at a different venue from the ceremony spot, you might wish to coordinate limo service to transport you, your new spouse and your bridal party to the reception location. This is a great way to cut down on parking issues and also to ensure that nobody gets lost or turned around. We also offer shuttle services between venues for your guests so you can be sure everyone makes it to the party on time!

Transportation from Reception to Hotel/Home- Your big day is finally complete, you danced the night away with your new spouse, and now you are exhausted! (Chances are you’ve probably had your fair share of celebratory champagne too.) Why worry about driving home from your own wedding? Let Limo 805 chauffeur you home or to your bridal suite in style! Ask about our post-reception shuttles to get out-of-town guests safely back to their hotels.

Transportation…Plus!- Any of the above packages can also include additional services, such as transportation to special photo locations between the ceremony and reception, a celebratory stop for you and your new spouse to have a private moment before the reception craziness ensues, or any other request you might have in mind. Let us know how we can help make YOUR day memorable! Contact Limo 805 to book transportation for your Los Angeles-area wedding.

5 Limo Birthday Party Ideas

Nothing says “celebrate” quite like a limo ride! Whether you’re turning 5 or 50, incorporating a limousine into your birthday celebration not only adds a touch of class but also ups the fun factor! Here are 5 ideas for working a limo into your birthday party fun this year.

Fill it with Balloons– An especially fun touch for a child or teen’s birthday, imagine having a chauffeur open the door to the limo you get to ride in for the day, only to see a bouquet of beautiful, brightly-colored balloons decorating the ceiling! Now that’s a fun way to get the party started!

Signature Cocktails– Invent a fun cocktail named after the birthday boy or girl, and have glasses of it waiting in the limo for each guest as they get in. The guest of honor will feel special and loved, and the guests will have fun sipping their signature cocktail as they ride in style to the party venue! Best of all, the cocktails can be modified to “mocktails” if your birthday party crowd is in the under-21 set.

Fancy it Up– Need a good excuse to get ultra glam for a birthday party? Want to dress in tuxedos and evening gowns with your friends for the night out on the town? Make your birthday a black-tie event this year, and get set to have fun cruising around with your crew, dressed to the nines in your own private limo.

Opt for a Party Bus– If you have way too many people on your guest list to fit into a standard limo, consider a party bus this year! True to its name, the party bus provides a fun, celebratory atmosphere, with cool lights, music, and a bar. Try the party bus once and you’ll want to rent one every year!

Create a Slideshow of Memories– If your best friend is having a milestone birthday, making a photo slideshow or video about your friendship is a touching gift that will give everyone the feels! After creating your slideshow, be sure to burn it onto a DVD so you can play it in the limo for all to enjoy.

Limo 805 wants to help you achieve maximum fun at your next birthday party! We are available to provide safe, reliable and stylish transportation to partygoers in and around the Los Angeles area. Call or contact Limo 805 to book your limo or party bus for your next special occasion!

7 Stops to Take on Your Los Angeles City Tour

Welcome to Los Angeles! Our reputation for sun, fun and a touch of glamour is known around the world, and we have many points of interest that we highly recommend to visitors to our fair city. Of course, if you really want the L.A. experience, there’s no better way to see the sights than on a tour of the city in your very own limo from Limo 805! Here are seven of our favorite must-see spots in the City of Angels.

  • Hollywood!- The epicenter of movie magic, Hollywood is where all of your favorite films (or at least most of them) are made. From the old-world movie stars of the 1940s to today’s up and coming celebrities, Hollywood is world-renowned for being the place to go to see the stars. While you aren’t guaranteed a celebrity sighting, you can stroll the Hollywood Walk of Fame, check out the hand and footprints immortalizing hundreds of celebrities outside the Chinese Theatre, and enjoy the incredible view of the famed Hollywood sign.
  • Venice Beach– Come experience the Los Angeles vibe at its finest at this world-famous beach known for its bodybuilders, skateboarders, and bohemian spirit. The boardwalk is an excellent place for people-watching, and the eccentric, wacky sense of fun about the entire beach is infectious.
  • Rodeo Drive– Channel your inner Pretty Woman and have your limo take you on a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive! This fashion mecca is home to the most high-end designer boutiques in the world, and even if you can’t afford the price tags, window shopping is always a lot of fun.
  • Disneyland– No matter how old you are, nothing beats the magic and excitement of seeing the Disneyland castle up close! The legendary theme park that just recently celebrated its 60th anniversary is simultaneously classic and current, with rides for all ages featuring the most beloved characters in our history,
  • Randy’s Donuts– A slightly more quirky but arguably important landmark in Los Angeles, Randy’s is known for its awesome landmark sign, a giant, 32-foot donut attached to the roof of the otherwise unassuming bakery. The donut shop has become something of a Los Angeles institution, with appearances in Entourage, The Golden Child, Crocodile Dundee, and perhaps most famously, Iron Man 2 (in which the titular character forlornly munches on a donut inside the iconic sign).
  • Pink’s Hot Dogs– Perhaps the most famous hot dog stand in the world, Pink’s has become famous for its creatively-topped dogs, some bearing the names of celebrities who helped inspire them. In fact, many stars have visited Pink’s since its 1939 opening- celebrities as varied as Michael Jackson, Steve Martin, Marlon Brando and Aretha Franklin are known to have stopped in for a hot dog. Long lines can be found at Pink’s any time of day, so be warned that you’re in for a wait, but it’s well worth it.
  • Santa Monica Pier– For amusement-park fun in a beautiful beach setting, there is only one place to go- the Santa Monica Pier. This historical venue for fun for all ages got its start in 1909, and first gained fame as a favorite fishing spot. These days, you and your family can enjoy a fun day at the pier with attractions such as the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, free historical walking tours, and of course, the Ferris wheel, old-fashioned carousel, and roller coasters of Pacific Park.

Save Time and Sanity with These 6 Airport Parking Tips

Traveling can be exciting- visiting new places, getting to see new things- but the actual “getting there” part can be a real hassle. One of the biggest travel headaches can come from trying to find suitable parking at the airport. In order to avoid the stress of seeing the dreaded “LOT FULL” sign when you’re already running late for a flight, follow these tips and you’ll be parking like a pro.

  1. Pre-Plan with Pre-Pay– Many major airports are surrounded by private off-site parking lots which allow you to book your spot in advance. By pre-paying online, you will guarantee a spot for the time you need, and will be taken directly to the airport via shuttle. Simple!
  2. Package it Up– Many hotels near the airport offer parking packages that gets you free parking and an airport shuttle if you book a room for a night. Since the cost of booking the room can often be cheaper than an entire week of airport parking lot fees, it may be worth looking into!
  3. Plan Ahead– In order to avoid a stressful, parking-related time crunch, it’s best to plan ahead and think about when you need to leave in order to be at the airport on time. Make sure to take into account total travel time (planning for traffic), estimated time you will spend parking and unloading your vehicle, any shuttle rides you may have to take, and the recommended two-hour period between arriving at the airport and boarding your flight.
  4. Beware, Thieves!- While your car is parked in the lot for the duration of your trip, make sure to take precautions to avoid theft and vandalism. Park in a well-lit area with security whenever possible, and make sure to leave nothing of interest or value in the thieves’ line of vision. Lock up any valuables in the glove compartment (or better yet, leave them home) and make absolutely certain you locked your doors.
  5. Don’t Lose Your Ticket- Make sure to put the ticket for the airport parking lot somewhere safe and secure when you first receive it, so you don’t accidentally lose it on your trip. Losing your ticket could cause you to pay a ridiculously high fee to get your car out of the lot upon your return.
  6. Write Down Your Parking Location– Make sure to make a note of exactly where in the lot you have left your car. Include the terminal name, the floor number, and the lot section so you know just where to find it when you get back.

…Or you can simply hire a limo or Town Car from Limo 805. Let Ventura County’s premier Town Car and limousine transportation service get you to the airport effortlessly. Cut down on all the stress and travel in style with Limo 805!

5 Fun Bachelorette Limo Games

Planning your bestie’s bachelorette party? Make the evening memorable from start to finish with some of these hilarious games that you can play right in the limo!

Scavenger Hunt– A tried-and-true bachelorette party favorite, the scavenger hunt sends the bride-to-be and her friends out on the town in search of almost-always embarrassing items to collect. For a fun twist on a classic, have the ladies play from within the comfort of the limousine by rolling down the tinted windows at red lights to interact with fellow motorists and collect breath mints, phone numbers and kisses to your hearts’ content!

The Nearly-Wed Game– A week before the bachelorette party, email the groom a list of questions about himself (favorite food, where the couple met, etc.) and quiz the bride-to-be on his answers while you’re riding in the limo. Feel free to make the questions as risqué as you like- after all, they don’t call her the “blushing bride” for nothing! For an extra-fun twist, make the bride-to-be take a shot for every question she gets wrong.

Never Have I Ever– You all know the rules to this one: a brave soul gets the game going by declaring, “Never have I ever_______” (gone streaking, kissed another girl, etc.) and then everyone who HAS done the thing she said has to take a drink. Not only is this a great ice-breaker for any party guests who may not know each other well, but it’s a fun way to get pumped up for the big night out on the go!

Car-aoke Nite– Crank up the tunes and warm up those pipes- it’s time to sing!! Who says you need a karaoke bar to embarrass yourself by singing in front of complete strangers? Red lights and rolled-down limo windows make for an excellent mobile karaoke unit on the way to the next bar you’re hitting. For added fun, stock the limo with props (fun wigs, wacky sunglasses, blow-up musical instruments) to really hit those high notes!

Kiss, Kill Marry– This one requires a little advance planning, as you will need index cards with the name (or better yet, picture) of celebrities. The bride-to-be and the rest of the guests will take turns drawing three cards at random, then designating “kiss,” “kill” or “marry” to each one. For extra fun, have some Sharpies and crepe paper streamers at the ready to make sashes with “Mrs. (Celebrity Name)” on each one so the ladies can advertise their imaginary celebrity husband all evening long!

Limo 805 is here to help you crank up the fun level and enjoy your L.A.- area bachelorette party responsibly. We can take you out on the town in style, in Ventura County and beyond! Call today to book us for your next event!

5 Great Date Night Ideas for Your Next Limo Ride

Whether you’re planning a special anniversary evening for the love of your life, or trying to impress your crush with the first date of a lifetime, there’s nothing better than a romantic limo ride to fan the flames of love. Here are a few fun date night ideas you can incorporate into your limo ride.

Memory Lane– Perfect for couples who are celebrating their anniversary, a limo ride down Memory Lane can be sentimental, funny and romantic all at the same time. Begin your journey at the place where you first met, then continue over to where you first kissed, said “I love you,” or even got engaged! You can put all kinds of significant relationship landmarks into your trip- that horrible first apartment with the leaky roof, the football stadium where you ended up on the Kiss Cam- don’t be afraid to make it your own! Every couple has a love story- tell yours with an epic limo landmark tour!

Star Treatment– Everybody dreams of being famous at one time or another. Give your special someone the red-carpet treatment with a celebrity-inspired limo ride! For your first stop, check out a hot restaurant or bistro where celebrities have been known to hang out. Follow that up with a nightclub that is famed for celebrity sightings, stroll down the iconic Walk of Fame, checking out the handprints of a century’s worth of stars, and finish off the evening parked in your limo with a breathtaking view of the world-famous Hollywood sign. It will be an evening to remember for any stargazing couple!

Born to Rock– If you’re planning a date night to a concert, let a limo be part of your big night out! Get set to party like a rock star without having to worry about parking, traffic or the drive home. Don’t forget to bring a CD or playlist of your favorite band’s hits so you can get pumped up on the way to the concert venue!

First Date– Trying to woo a new crush? Nothing like picking him or her up in a limo to set the tone for the evening. Show your classy side by letting the chauffeur drive you to a four-star restaurant, open a bottle of champagne in the back, and toast to a promising future ahead.

The Fairy Tale– Here’s one for the lady in your life who has seen Pretty Woman about 350 times (so, basically all of us). Remember that scene where Richard Gere comes charging up in his white limo to “rescue” Julia Roberts from her lame apartment via the fire escape? You don’t? Well, she does, and you will score major bonus points for rolling up to her place with a bunch of flowers and some opera music blasting out of the limo. Perfect for apologies!

No matter what you and your special someone choose to do on Date Night, do it with Limo 805. We add a touch of style and class to any special occasion, and make sure your big night out is memorable from start to finish. Contact Limo 805 today to book your L.A.-area limo ride.
