  • A Blow Up, Over Gas!

    east-hartford-gas-imageThe gas explosion that reportedly happened on Thursday night was considered “the miracle on main street”.

    Six gas pumps were destroyed when an SUV ran over a median, struck two other vehicles and then barreled into six gas pumps at the Phillips 66 on Main Street in East Hartford just yesterday, August 27th, 2015.

    “We look out the window from the restaurant and it’s just flames shooting up… gas shooting up, tires are melting, cars melting,” said Thomas DeCrescenzo, who saw the aftermath of the crash. “We didn’t know if the whole place was going to go up, and the gas lines.”

    A gas station attendant told reporters that the driver of the SUV walked away with a pinky injury. “There was no significant injuries, said Fire Chief Silver. Though the huge explosions from the lines under the ground, the fire police-lights-imagewas said to be under control in 10 minutes.

    The fire marshal and state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection are investigating.

  • Limo Companies going Mobile

    Black Car Service New YorkUber has shaken up the car service industry. Local taxi’s and limo companies have lost hundreds of drivers along with it’s clients to them.  Now taking AllState Limo and a few other black-car companies are teaming to fight back with their own app.

    Eduard Slinin, the owner and fleets founder of AllStae Limo, with more than 3,000 vehicles in Brooklyn is heading the launch of iRide Mobile for the New York market.  Good news for other black car companies that are participating they’ll be able to use another software to create their own e-hail app the “white label.” The app was launched in July, and other limo companies can use the app for their customers.

    Mr. Slinin stated “The most important thing: Every car company that operates in our market is going to be able to use iRide’s rates without gouging the public, and “Right now, if you’re utilizing Uber, most likely you’re going to get gouged.”

    Uber, markets itself publicly cheaper than a taxi but it also appeals to the high-end users who arrange a ride through their smartphones for extra money. The same black-car and limo companies that cater to the same customers have been trying to keep with Uber since they launched two years ago in New York, with now the San Francisco tech firm is currently valued at $17 billion dollars.

    Just like Uber, AllState’s along with its customers can hail, and track a black car or limo. Also users have the option to schedule a car for advance booking or choose a car on demand. Limousine Connecticut Safer Drivers

    Uber, which is publicly accused of skirting the rules, Mr.Slinin stressed that his company is committed to its customers safety.

    The Competitors of Uber have seized upon the labor issues that have come from Uber drivers and regulators, also continuing to insists that it holds its drivers to insurance and high standards for safety. Uber didn’t respond to the request for the comment for the bad press about its company and unreliable drivers.

     

  • Layover In Fort Lauderdale Airport

    Being stuck with a layover is never fun. If you so happen to be in Fort Lauderdale- Hollywood International, there’s a few shops, restaurants and a business center to past the time.  Limo-CT give’s you an idea how to spend your layover in Fort Lauderdale airport (FTL). Here is a great video of tips to help make your layover more pleasent!

    Layover at airport

    Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airport wants to get you to your flight as soon as possible. It’s not much of a hang out spot with foods concern, but there are a few fable attempts to amp up their  culinary cuisine. For example, the new Food Network Kitchen. It’s sleek, and has locally inspired food like Florida Shrimp Po’Boy. If you’re no where near Terminal 3 there’s Mediterranean fast-casual fare that wont leave you in a food coma, the hummus is amazing, for airport food anyway.

     

    If you’re looking for something to satisfy your thirst other than water. I’m sorry to say there’s nothing to really recommend it’s just too painful especially you’re only a few miles away from some amazing beach bars on Hollywood Beach like Le Tub. If you must stay close to the terminals you have to make your way to Chili’s near Terminal 3 pre-security.

     

    Friends and family are always going on and on with what you brought them on your trip.  There are  plenty of souvenir shops at the airport. If you’re looking for something more High-end U*tique Boutique offers anything from sunglasses to perfume it’s located in Terminal 2.

    If your layover can accomedate more time then there are plenty more options out there for you to keep yourself entertained right outside the airport. Take some of these under consideration for longer layovers:

     

    Luxury Car Service

    If you’re planning on leaving the airport to explore Fort Lauderdale on your layover, you can use Limo-CT. You’re only a phone call away to enjoying your few hours of free time before next flight. Let us help you. Call us now and book a reservation today @203-344-0066

     

  • Luxury Resorts in South Florida

    A resort is defined as “a place providing recreation and entertainment to vacationers.” We at Limo Ct  think of a resort as being in a world of its own – once you arrive you never have to leave to have your needs met. There are many different types of resorts that you can visit while in South Florida. My personal favorites are the all-inclusive resorts. In my opinion they are less worry and more fun! Check out this video made by a regular person like me and you and her reviews on these resorts.

    Booking a resort is extremely important, afterall this could make or break your whole vacation! I know booking a reservation far away that you have never been to can be terrifying so you must rely on the reviews of others to tell you the real deal about a vacation resort. We have put together some notible thing to keep in mind when booking your South Florida vacation resort.

    • What are the meal choices? You may not be that happy when you see that your stuck to eating the same thing the whole week that your there.
    • Are the drinks included? A lot of times the “classic” beverages will be included but alcoholic beverages will be extra or they will have certain times to where they are free or discounted. This is a great question to ask if you are a vacation drinker.
    • Does it cost to pamper? While vacation time is the time to spend with family, it is also a time to relax and what better way to relax than to get a captivating massage and order in for the night. A lot of time these items are considered extra but it never hurts to ask.
    • Are there children programs? And if so does it cost extra? We all love our children but there comes a time where mom and dad want their alone time also.
    • What are the activities that my trip includes and what is available that might cost extra? A lot of resorts will include a couple of “not so” exciting things to do but the real adventurous activites are more than likely an extra cost.
    • What are the resorts “targeted” demographic? When looking to have a nice family vacation with the little ones I’m sure ending up at what seems like a huge college fraternatity party.

    The following properties definitely live up to our definition of a resort. I can attest that once you arrive you not only will not have to leave… you won’t want to. The best thing about these resorts is that they cater to children. The second best thing is that you can get a fantastic car service when venturing out of the resort, last is that they’re all in Florida, so if you’re visiting with children and need something kid friendly these are definitely some great choices.

    Nickelodeon Family Suites

    the 800-room Nickelodeon Family Suites has been turned virtually into a kids camp. For starters, the kid-friendly suites are occupied with your kids favorite Nickelodeon characters and the resort’s “pool” is a full-fledged water park. A complimentary nine-hole miniature golf course, basketball courts and plenty of family entertainment including a state-of-the-art theater are also part of the fun.

    Gaylord Palms Resortrecreation

    Families and children will enjoy the new Cypress Springs Family Fun Water Park. The multi-level tree house features four water slides, an over-sized water tipping bucket, gurgling springs and an outdoor movie theater for animated adventure movies and live shows.

    • 6000 W Osceola Pkwy, Kissimmee, FL 3474

    The Breakers

    The Breakers is a classic, stylish Florida grand hotel that welcomes families. Kids 17 and under stay free and the 6,000 sq. ft. family entertainment center that includes a glassed-in toddlers room, arcade, arts and crafts center, playroom, plus a computer X-box room and family-friendly Italian restaurant is a great amenity.

    Children three to 12 can join the Coconut Crew Interactive Camp for tennis, golf, arts and crafts, lawn hockey, swimming, and more. The resort also offers free use of baby gear such as bottle warmers, strollers, baby bathtubs and child proofing items.

    Caribbean Beach Resort

    We like the kid-friendly pirate-themed rooms and Parrot Cay island play area for children. Footbridges stretch over the lake to connect the “mainland” with the one-acre adventure. There is also a marina that rents small watercraft. Also, a wide variety of dining experiences from a table service restaurant to a food court offering typical American fare satisfies even the pickiest eater.

  • Futbol Has Left, But Football is Coming

    soccer-futbol-banner-image
    Soccer / Futbol

    While fùtbol, or if soccer is preferred, madness kept the world entertained last month,
    thanks due to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, football, in no relation to fùtbol, is quickly
    approaching.
    There were a lot of people that attended this year’s World Cup. On average, there were
    around 52,762 fans, IndiaTimes.com said. Thanks to social media access, “Brazil 2014 has
    proved to be a social, mobile #WorldCup as more than a billion fans were able to #joinin across
    FIFA’s official digital platforms,” FIFA said. So even if you were unfortunate to have not gone to
    Brazil and party with the fans there, there were still other platforms which provided every fan
    around the world the chance to experience the World Cup atmosphere. However, it is now over.
    It will take four years until the next World Cup in Russia 2018Russia-world-cup-2018, but it will only take one more
    month until the NFL (National Football League) begins.
    The season is set to kickoff Thursday, September 4th, with the tradition of the current title
    holders, Seattle Seahawks, opening up the season against the Green Bay Packers at home. If you
    were unable to attend the World Cup, no worries, there’s a full slate of football games to attend
    this season. Now Seattle may be ways away and probably not a trip recommended to take via
    automobile, but there are plenty of teams surrounding the Tri-State area. Whether the allegiance
    belongs to the home teams, New York Jets or New York Giants, or any of the surrounding fan
    bases, like the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, or even the New England
    Patriots, every fan deserves a experience package to attend games for their team. We’ve got you
    covered!
    What better way than to arrive in style to the game than with a limo or even a party bus.
    There’s no hassle of whose driving and whose not. Food and drinks are provided when you get
    there, with a traditional tailgate party before the game. We almost forgot, every package comes
    with a entrance to the game. Food, drinks, social interaction with other fans, round trip
    transportation and most importantly, the game itself, that’s all covered! That’s something worth
    looking forward if you’re planning on going to any football games this upcoming season! While
    our limo services are offered to those cities mentioned only, if you’re planning of visiting any of these
    cities during the season, this is an experience for the fanatic in you! We miss you fùtbol, but no
    worries, football is coming.

  • New York Limousine Company In Trouble For Withholding Tips

    Foul Foreplay From Bad Limousine Company

    Every driver should be compensated appropriately, that is why we at Limousines of Connecticut focus on finding the right drivers and go through a screening process, just to make sure everyone from customer, driver and company are taking care of in every way. When you don’t play or pay professionally you always get caught and rightfully so. Money can be a controlling thing and one that people have to learn, especially in business, that it can make or break you – so get it together. Action News 12 disposes that Attorney General Eric Schneiderman claimed a long overdue settlement to resolve the investigation of a Coachmaster limo service in Endicott for failing to pay tips to drivers.

    “Making New York more affordable for the middle class starts with standing up for workers,” said Attorney General Schneiderman. “Employers must not take any portion of their employees’ tips. My office will prosecute those who engage in wage theft and fight to protect the hard-earned wages of everyday New Yorkers.”

    Limo Drivers Should Always Be Taken Care Of

    CT airport limousine service image

    Since 2008, the investigation revealed that Coachmaster was blatantly taking the tips for the drivers. Their consumers were asked, while making reservations for their private car or limousine services, if they would like the driver’s gratuity to be included on their final invoice, instead of paying the gratuity directly to the driver at the time of service, which then ultimately leaves it open to stealing. However, not all companies work that way and it is not ethical to do something in this regard and then give other limo companies a bad name. Thus, they learned having to pay BACK $20,000 in restitution and $20,000 in civil penalty, totaling $40,000 all because people try and be greedy.

    When it comes down to it, working with a real and reliable limousine company is very crucial. Do your research and ask questions – you have that right. Contact our team at Limousines Of Connecticut at 203-344-0066 and a representative will work out all the details for you and answer any questions you may have for your trip!
