Limousines are some of the most glamorous vehicles around. While many people think that limos are reserved for the rich and famous, the truth is that they can be relatively inexpensive to hire. Instead of turning to ride-hail apps and dealing with inconsistent transport providers, here are some benefits of hiring a professional limo service instead.
On-Time, Every Time
Hiring a vehicle via Uber or Lyft is always a tricky bet. When you are traveling or keeping to an important appointment, a delay of just five minutes can add a lot of unnecessary stress. A professional limo service will pick you up and get you to your destination punctually. The experienced chauffeurs know all the fastest routes so you can be sure of avoiding traffic congestion too.
Professional Comfort
There is nothing worse than hiring a driver and finding yourself in the backseat of an unkempt family car. It is even worse when you have to endure the driver’s poor personal hygiene. With a quality limo service, you can rest assured that both the vehicle and chauffeur will be perfectly groomed. Your chauffeur will also open and close the car doors for you, with a smile.
Personalized Service
It can be difficult to find the right kind of transport service to suit your needs with ride-hail providers and generic car hire companies. Perhaps you need a long-distance limo service or a spacious vehicle in which to move your pet. Professional limo companies have a wide range of comfortable vehicles and can customize their services to address your specific requirements.
Make Any Event Special
Hiring a fancy vehicle is an easy way to turn an ordinary occasion into an event to remember. Whether you are celebrating a birthday or going to a sports game with your friends, heading out in a limo adds an extra element of fun and excitement. Best of all, you will not have to worry about parking at the venue or getting home safe after a six-pack or a bottle of wine.
Keep the Group Together
If many people are traveling as a group, hiring a fleet of vehicles for transport is a good way to ensure that no one gets left behind. Chauffeurs from the same company can communicate with each other and make sure that everyone arrives together. This makes managing a large group for events like weddings, funerals, or corporate functions much simpler.
Make an Impression
Pulling up in a luxury vehicle is a tried and tested way of making a bold entrance. When meeting a client or attending a party, you can easily make a lasting impression by hiring a limo as your transport. Riding in a limo will make anyone feel important. Consider using a limousine to pick valuable clients up from the airport for the ultimate VIP treatment.
Maintain Your Privacy
Limousine services provide you with the utmost privacy. Professional chauffeurs know when to give you personal space and privacy for your conversations. The dark, tinted windows of the limo will also keep you and your guests away from the prying eyes of passersby. Many people have found that the backseat of a limousine is ideal for both romance and delicate corporate discussions.
Amazingly Affordable
People are often under the misconception that hiring a limousine is exceedingly expensive. Luckily, this is not always the case. Limos can be more affordable than street-hail cabs depending on the distance and services needed. In addition, the pricing of limo hire often includes a host of extras such as wait time, extra stops, and even snacks and refreshments.
How to Choose a Good Limo Service
Given the multiple perks of hiring a limo, you may be wondering how to choose the best limousine service. Ag Royal Connection is a top-rated limousine service based in New York. Founded by an experienced professional chauffeur, the company adopts an innovative approach to providing relaxing and efficient ground transport.
Unlike most limo service providers who have not updated their mode of operation for decades, Ag Royal Connection offers a convenient online booking system.

On top of that, its pricing system is transparent and surprisingly budget-friendly.
You do not have to be a star to feel important. With limousine hires, anybody can experience red carpet treatment. You deserve comfort and safety, so why not choose a transport service that guarantees a good experience? If you want to be punctual, feel like a VIP, satisfy special transportation needs, or all of the above, book a professional limo and get to your destination in style.

Detroit — General Motors‘ strategy of producing its current pickups through the launch of the next-gen Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra appears to be working but will be tested through the end of the year.
Despite sales declines in the third quarter, including estimated double-digit slides in September, sales of the pickups are actually up 0.6 percent for the year through September.
Our brands are very well-positioned for the fourth quarter when our next wave of new products start shipping in high volume,” said Kurt McNeil, GM U.S. vice president of sales operations, citing some concern about low inventories.
Because of those concerns, GM curtailed incentives last month. That contributed to estimated declines of 19 percent for the Silverado and 35 percent for the Sierra, according to the Automotive News Data Center.
“It is a really tricky balance. You never know how a launch is going to go,” said Michelle Krebs, executive analyst at Autotrader. “They’ve sold down well. It’s going to be really important for them to ramp up without any glitches.”
The incentive pullback allowed Fiat Chrysler’s Ram pickup to outsell the Silverado for the past two months in the U.S., according to estimates from the Automotive News Data Center.
GM’s incentive spending, according to Autodata, was down $710 for Sierra and down $315 for Silverado compared with August. For the year, incentive spending on the Silverado was $6,186 — up $787 from a year earlier — and down $802 on Sierra to $4,542, Autodata reports.
That compares with Ford’s average incentive spending on the F series of $3,880 per unit through September. Ram, which also launched a redesigned pickup at the beginning of the year and continues to produce the previous generation, was at $6,183 — up $58 from a year ago.
FCA and GM had similar strategies for continuing to produce the outgoing pickup with the redesigned version, but they implemented the plans differently.
GM did so while changing its plants over and shipping the trucks from Fort Wayne, Ind., to its Oshawa, Ontario, plant for final assembly and paint. FCA, which had some early production problems, is building the redesigned trucks at a new plant.
“We haven’t heard about production issues with GM like we did with Ram,” Edmunds senior analyst Ivan Drury said. “That was one of the biggest hindrances for them. They couldn’t get their lineup out when it was supposed to happen.”
Ram’s pickup sales are even with last year.
GM hasn’t said when it plans to stop producing the outgoing model. FCA is expected to continue producing the outgoing model until the end of 2019 or early 2020.
