Preparing for holiday travel

2011-10-25T13:35:00.002-04:00

November is almost HERE! Where has 2011 gone??? With the holidays upon us it is time to start planning holiday travel. The days surrounding Thanksgiving and Christmas are traditionally two of the busiest and most stressful times of the year to travel. Your stress can be eased by preparing in advance. Here are some important tips to keep in mind when travelling during the busy holiday season:

Know the peak travel dates. It is best to travel as early as possible in the week prior to the holiday.

Consider alternate airports. Often you will save time and money and have a more pleasant experience by utilizing a smaller airport.

Be careful with connections. Allow sufficient time for layovers, and build in ample time for flight delays and weather issues.

Leave early when heading to the airport. Arrange to have your driver at your home extra early to allow time for traffic.

Travel light. Airlines are strictly enforcing luggage weight guidelines.

Travel early or late in the day. Airports are least congested at these times.

Always check current security guidelines so that you are aware of what you can carry on the aircraft and what must be checked. The website for the TSA is a good place to start.

Stay up-to-date on weather conditions to plan for delays and to pack accordingly.

If traveling with gifts, do not wrap them as they will most likely be searched. Whenever possible, ship gifts ahead of time to your destination.

And, as always, be sure to call Boston Chauffeur for all of your ground transportation needs!!!

Are you ready for PROM?!

2011-03-21T07:00:00.000-04:00

Your PROM will be here before you know it! Are you prepared? There is lots to do to get ready for one of the biggest nights of your high school career. Planning ahead will ensure the night goes perfectly smooth. Here is a checklist to get you started:

Call Boston Chauffeur to book your bus or limo right away. Your school is not the only school holding their prom in May or June. And there are also weddings, corporate events, sporting events, and nights on the town still happening. People rent limos and buses for all of these, so call NOW and be sure to get the vehicle you want at a great price.
Buy your tickets at school when they go on sale.
Choose your dress or tuxedo early before the best are gone.
Make any appointments you need, especially for those the day of, such as hair, nails, make-up, etc. You will be surprised how fast your favorite stylist or manicurist will book up, especially on a weekend.
If there will be multiple couples chipping in for a meal and transportation, designate one member of your group to collect money from everyone in advance. This saves a lot of confusion and ensures that everyone pays their fair share.
Guys, don't forget to order flowers!
This night will be one of the most fun night of your life. You want to capture those memories. Make sure your camera batteries are charged and you have an extra memory card, just in case.
PLAN TO HAVE A BLAST!!!!!!!

GO SOX!!!

2011-03-18T07:00:00.000-04:00

Our boys of summer are getting ready to head back to Fenway Park for another exciting season of Red Sox baseball!!!

Do you have plans to head to Fenway Park to cheer on the Red Sox this season? If you have been before then you know what a hassle it is to get there and find parking reasonably close to the park. And if you do find parking, be prepared to pay upwards of $50, $60, even $70 or more to leave your vehicle in an over-crowded lot that is most likely not too secure.

Sure, you could take the "T" but wouldn't you rather be on your own schedule? Do you really want to hoof it up from Kenmore Square on a sweltering July day? Do you want to endlessly wait in a hot, crowded, smelly subway station?

I didn't think so!

That is why your very BEST option is to call Boston Chauffeur! We know Boston. We know Fenway Park and the surrounding area. We will get you there on time, in comfort and style.

Don't wait! Call us now at 866-570-5466 to book!!!

We're all GREEN today!!!

2011-03-17T07:00:00.000-04:00

Well, today, of course, everyone is G*R*E*E*N!!!

Boston Chauffeur, however, makes the effort to GO GREEN every day!

Temporary Changes at Logan Airport Terminal B

2010-06-15T08:33:00.002-04:00

Due to construction at Boston's Logan Airport at Terminal B, there will be short- term changes to the pick-up procedures for arriving passengers utilizing livery service. From June 23 - July 1. livery pick-up will be on the turn between the US Airways and American Airlines side of the terminal. Pick-up is still on the upper level. Customers exiting from the US Airways side will have a short walk to the right to get to the pick-up area, and passengers exiting from the American Airlines side will have a slightly longer walk to the left to get to the pick-up area. Massport will be putting up signs to direct passengers to the proper location, and there will be additional staff to assist passengers, including personnel wearing blue vests emblazoned with a "?" for easy identification.

Despite these temporary changes, Terminal B still remains a "will call" terminal. Before proceeding to the pick-up location and after retrieving luggage it is still necessary to call our 24-hour toll-free dispatch line at 866-570-5466 so that we may send your chauffeur to the pick-up area.

As always, we are here in our office 24 hours a day 7 days a week to assist you. Please feel free to call us at any time with any questions or concerns. We understand you have many choices in livery service, and we sincerely appreciate you choosing Boston Chauffeur for your ground transportation needs.

Southwest now flies out of Boston - Logan Airport!

2009-08-19T08:24:00.003-04:00

Great news for fans of the low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines that would rather not travel to Providence or Manchester to catch a flight! Southwest is now offering several flights in and out of Boston's Logan Airport each day! They are currently offering approximately 10 daily non-stop flights to Chicago - Midway Airport and Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Though this may seem limited at first, travelers should be aware that BWI is an important location for north-south connections on Southwest, making many of the major destinations on the East Coast accessible and affordable to travelers departing from BOS. Despite Southwest only offering flights to two cities from Boston at the present time, passngers will have access to over 48 different connections in Southwest's flight network. Southwest does plan to add more flights in the future after establishing themselves at Logan Airport.

Southwest Airlines is currently operating out of Termina E at Logan Airport.

USAirways showing a jump in bookings...

2009-06-22T11:58:00.003-04:00

Quoted from USA Today's Today In The Sky blog:

"There has been a significant jump in the number of leisure travelers booking flights on US Airways, CEO Doug Parker is quoted as saying by Dow Jones Newswires. "We have seen a small uptick in leisure bookings over the past couple months," Parker says. "We don't know what it means yet but there is something going on there." Dow Jones writes "Parker declined to disclose a percentage change but added that the increase is material." The Philadelphia Inquirer writes Parker says the "uptick" is "significant" and seems to indicate more than the typical summer surge in leisure travel."

This is good news for the economy and the transportation industry. When airline reservations start to increase, reservations for car service to and from the airports increase. If you have plans to travel this summer do not wait till the last minute to reserve your transportation to the airport. Our office is staffed 24/7, 365 days a year. Call 866-570-5466 to book now!

Day In The Cloud

2009-06-22T11:39:00.003-04:00

I thought this to be something fun that would be of interest to both our frequent travelers and those that only venture out ocassionally. Virgin America Airlines and GoogleApps have teamed up for the Day In The Cloud Challenge. Taking place on Wednesday June 24, it is an online scavenger hunt that you can take part in from anywhere on earth or in the sky.

Here is a brief description taken from the website:

Accept the challenge. Scour the earth. Please remain seated.

On Wednesday, June 24th, Google Apps and Virgin America invite the brave and the willing, the airborne and the earthbound, to embark on the “Day in the Cloud Challenge,” the first online scavenger hunt played simultaneously in the air and, well, everywhere else.
Wherever you are on the 24th, simply sign up, arm yourself with a powerful array of Google Apps, and you can point and click your way towards glory—and an enticing prize pack. And if you do happen to be a Virgin America passenger, we’ll even throw in complimentary WiFi.

Just visit this link to sign-up to take part in the challenge!

Going green....interesting

2009-06-22T11:33:00.002-04:00

Another article that caught my eye today was about a recent study that showed that people living in cities produced less greenhouse gasses than those people living in suburban or rural areas. However, the actual cities produce more greenhouse gasses per acre than suburbs or rural areas. An interesting paradox indeed.

You can read the complete story here.

Our nation's transportation system

2009-06-22T11:25:00.003-04:00

In an effort to expand the topics our blog covers I will be highlighting information culled from what is happening in our world day to day. The topics will still relate back to this industry.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

One article I read today that caught my eye was about a $500 billion transportation bill currently being proposed to Congress to overhaul federal policies on roads, bridges, transit, and trains. Being a livery company this is of great interest to our industry.

Attention Boston travelers: Changes at Logan Airport

2008-08-13T09:35:00.005-04:00

The Massachusetts Port Authority, which oversees and manages all operations at Boston's Logan International Airport, has issued changes in the pick-up procedure for chauffeured vehicles for Terminal B and Terminal C only.

Effective August 17, passengers will have to call our dispatcher when they are ready for pick-up. Please collect all luggage before calling. Passengers can reach our dispatcher at 866-570-5466. Press "2" to be connected directly to the dispatcher. They will alert your driver that you are ready for pick-up and give instructions on where you can meet your driver.

Pick-ups will still be curbside at the upper level of the terminal but the driver will not be allowed to pull up to the terminal until we have been notified that you are ready to get in to the vehicle.

We regret any confusion this may cause, but we must follow the procedures set forth by Massport. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our office at any time. We are staffed 24/7 so there is always someone available to assist you.

Travel Tips

2008-08-12T09:58:00.002-04:00

We know that your focus is on the destination and that getting there is not your favorite part. At Boston Chauffeur, our goal is to see that your transportation is as effortless as possible. So beside the seamless and luxurious services we provide to you at Boston Chauffeur, we thought we'd provide some additional tools and tips that can make your upcoming travel that much more comfortable.

· The U.S. Department of State's Travel Website (http://travel.state.gov).
o A great resource for any traveler but especially for the international traveler, you can register online so that they can better assist you in case of an emergency. They hold a wealth of advice concerning passports, credit cards, crime, medical coverage, etc. and they allow you to view their travel warnings about specific countries and summaries of local conditions and laws.

· Pack Smart
o Did you know that rolling your clothes actually prevents wrinkling? Roll-em up now and save the ironing when you get there.
o If traveling with liquids or gels and planning to carry-on, don't forget to put your shampoo, hand lotion, toothpaste and others into a clear plastic sealable bag. You'll get through security much more quickly and just in case one leaks while you're at 35,000 feet, you'll be covered.
o Most of the major airlines now are charging for checked bags. Challenge yourself to see how much you can fit into one bag and save on the extra fees and on wondering if your checked bag will reach your destination!
o Pack a snack. Airline food policies are very inconsistent. You might or might not get a proper meal/snack depending on the carrier. Make sure you have what you need and don't rely on them to keep you from being hungry.

· Get to the airport early
o It's not only good theory, but how we run our business. Record fuel prices have caused airlines to reduce the number of flights and therefore remaining flights are more crowded. We always believe that 15 minutes early is on time, and recommend you get to the airport at least an hour before your scheduled boarding time (not departure time).
o Security frequently is the bottleneck at airports. Wear shoes you can get into and out of easily, bring a sealable plastic bag to put all of your metal objects in to put through the scanner and leave your water bottle in the car - you can't take it through security.

The World Champs Are Back!!!

2008-04-09T08:53:00.005-04:00

Fenway Park has come alive again with the return of the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox!!!

Why deal with the hassle and expense of parking in Boston, or suffer the heat and the crowds on the "T"??? Let Boston Chauffeur do the driving for you. Get to the game on time and in style, and best yet, get dropped off at the gate!!!

And while we are talking about Boston champions, how about those Celtics?!? They are well on their way to the play-offs and hopefully bringing a long overdue NBA championshop title back to Boston!!! So head to the Garden in luxury. Make the most of your night out when you let Boston Chauffeur do the driving!!!

Call us at 866 - 570 -5466 (LIMO) now to reserve your vehicle. We are staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, so there is always someone live for you to talk to.

And remember our on-going stretch limousine special: book a 6-, 8-, or 10-passenger limousine, Monday through Thursday, and receive 10% off when you mention booking code lv259.

*~* Go Red Sox!!! Go Celtics!!! *~*

Go Green --- Drive Smart

2008-03-07T09:22:00.002-05:00

As gasoline prices rise, the advantages of using fuel efficiently increase. Here are some tips to help you go green:

Inflate your tires to recommended air pressure. If your tires are not fully inflated, your vehicle's engine must consume more fuel to travel at the same speed.
Maintain steady driving speeds, ease off the gas pedal in anticipation of the need to slow or stop, and minimize rapid accelerations.
Follow the speed limit on the highway. At higher speeds, it takes more fuel to overcome wind resistance and road friction.
Close your windows and use internal vents to reduce wind resistance on the highway.
Avoid idling during warm weather and minimize idling during cold weather.

Of course, one of the best ways to reduce your fuel consumption is to leave the driving to us. Boston Chauffeur is committed to going green, and conserving fuel and energy.

2007-12-07T08:30:00.000-05:00

New York City's greatest level of traffic congestion typically occurs during the same six week period every year - from Thanksgiving until after the New Year.
The NYC Holiday Traffic Plan is designed to facilitate the movement of people in and around the City during this holiday season is modified and released.

If you have ever been in the city this time of year, you know that the NYC Holiday Traffic Plan (designed to facilitate the movement of people in and around the City) meets with very limited success.

Our chauffeurs and clients are already experiencing significantly longer travel times when traveling to/from or within New York City.

PLEASE allow extra time for travel to/from New York City and be prepared for traffic to be very, very difficult.

Gridlock Alert Days

The City has designated a number of days during the holiday season as Gridlock Alert Days which are days when significant vehicle traffic is expected. Expect that traffic delays will be substantial into and out of the city, as well as within Manhattan.

· Friday, December 7
· Thursday, December 13
· Friday, December 14
· Wednesday, December 19
· Thursday, December 20
· Friday, December 21

NYPD will focus on making this the safest holiday season ever, with the goal of reducing accidents, injuries and fatalities. Enforcement will be increased in midtown and in other key areas of the City and will focus on decreasing hazardous driving behaviors. NYPD will also focus on taxis and delivery trucks to ensure they are complying with all traffic laws.

Please remember that traffic patterns - the roads that may be traveled and our chauffeurs' ability to make turns - change during the holiday period (which lasts until after January 1, 2008) on a day-to-day basis, with no notice.

We look forward to being part of your holiday plans, and look forward to seeing you, soon.

Navigating the Airport

2007-11-28T08:33:00.000-05:00

As most travelers know, navigating your way through the airport, any airport, can be a daunting task. That is why we at Boston Chauffeur provide concise pick-up instructions for all major airports on the confirmation we email to you when you book with us. This will make it much easier to locate your driver so that you can quickly be on your way.

Our "home" airport, Boston's Logan Airport, has several terminals, each with their own areas for chauffeured cars to wait. Due to security regulations following 9/11, drivers cannot leave cars unattended outside the terminals. Therefore, designated areas at each terminal have been established for pick-ups.

Terminal A: Please exit the terminal near baggage claim #1 (lower level) and cross to the third traffic island, which is the limo stand.

Terminal B (American): Please meet driver curbside, 2nd level, at the limo stand located outside the door nearest Dunkin Donuts.

Terminal B (US Airways): Please meet driver curbside, 2nd level, turn right at the end of the terminal.

Terminal C: From baggage claim please go up the escalator to information booth #1 on the departure level. Please walk around the advertising billboards and the door on the left to the crosswalk. Please follow the crosswalk to the 2nd traffic island to meet your driver.

Terminal E: Please exit Customs Hall and go left towards Hudson News Shop. Exit building through doors between the elevators and Hudson News. Cross two traffic lanes to limo stand.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your pick-up or you are unable to locate your driver please call our office at (866) 570-5466, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Press "2" to be connected directly to our dispatch office.

Ground Transportation Tips

2007-11-19T10:16:00.000-05:00

How can meeting planners make the most of their ground transportation dollars? Here are some tips to help you out!
Reserve your transportation as soon as possible. In addition to avoiding cost increases, you will also avoid a last-minute scramble to find appropriate vehicles.
Be sure to communicate with your guests. This is very important. Keep all meeting attendees up-to-date on pick-up and drop-off times, pick-up and drop-off locations, and what types of vehicles to look for.
Be as accurate and as detailed as possible when booking your ground transportation. It is important to have as much information as possible prior to booking your ground transportation. When calling to reserve, please be prepared with date and duration of your event, location(s), number of attendees, type of attendees (VIPs, executives, employees, etc.), information for any off-site transportation that may be needed, and any special services that may be needed (meet-and-greets, special signage, etc.).
Budget appropriately. It is best to figure approximately 10% - 15% of your meeting budget for ground transportation.

Large meetings, corporate events, and corporate road shows are no doubt a huge undertaking for any event planner. With proper planning these events can run smoothly and be a success. Don't under-estimate the impact that solid, professional ground transportation can have on the overall success of your event. Keep the above tips in mind when planning your next corporate event and you can be assured that a great and productive time will be had by all.

Time To Think About Holiday Travel

2007-10-30T10:05:00.000-04:00

November is HERE! Actually, it is almost DECEMBER! Where has 2007 gone??? In any case, with the holidays upon us it is time to start planning holiday travel. The days surrounding Thanksgiving and Christmas are traditionally two of the busiest and most stressful times of the year to travel. Your stress can be eased by preparing in advance. Here are some important tips to keep in mind when travelling during the busy holiday season:

Know the peak travel dates. It is best to travel as early as possible in the week prior to the holiday.

Consider alternate airports. Often you will save time and money and have a more pleasant experience by utilizing a smaller airport.

Be careful with connections. Allow sufficient time for layovers, and build in ample time for flight delays and weather issues.

Leave early when heading to the airport. Arrange to have your driver at your home extra early to allow time for traffic.

Travel light. Airlines are strictly enforcing luggage weight guidelines.

Travel early or late in the day. Airports are least congested at these times.

Always check current security guidelines so that you are aware of what you can carry on the aircraft and what must be checked. The website for the TSA is a good place to start.

Stay up-to-date on weather conditions to plan for delays and to pack accordingly.

If traveling with gifts, do not wrap them as they will most likely be searched. Whenever possible, ship gifts ahead of time to your destination.

And, as always, be sure to call Boston Chauffeur for all of your ground transportation needs!!!

Top-Notch Transportation = Successful Events!

2007-10-23T09:24:00.000-04:00

There are many factors businesses must attend to when planning corporate events: finding the appropriate venue, dealing with multimedia, catering, speakers, entertainment, etc. But even the most luxurious of accomodations and the most state-of-the-art convention facilities cannot make up for subpar transportation. The transportation sets the tone for your event. It can either leave your guests ready for a great time or it can cause undue stress and aggravation. After the event, transportation can either be a pleasant end to a successful event or a bad last impression.

Boston Chauffeur considers corporate road shows a specialty. Our reservations staff will work with you to personalize the experience and tailor it to your company's specific needs. We assign our top chauffeurs, all fully certified veterans who provide premium service, to all of our road show clients. Our dispatchers maintain constant contact with our chauffeurs, utilizing the latest technology. This allows us to monitor changes and to continually monitor the progress of the road show.

At Boston Chauffeur, we maintain the finest fleet of luxury vehicles for your road show, including Lincoln Town Cars and Mercedes-Benz and our brand new corporate mini-coach, which seats up to 32 clients in comfort and style.

Of course every event is different and comes with it's own budget issues and logistical challenges, but the savvy corporate event planner will recognize the importance of planning your vehicle needs well in advance. This helps to insure quality and to lock in the best pricing.

Go Green........

2007-10-16T09:28:00.000-04:00

Boston Chauffeur has recently added hybrid vehicles in Boston & New York. The move was part of the company’s green initiative to replace its existing fleet with environmentally friendly vehicles.

“As our vehicles come up for renewal,” said David Loper, Boston Chauffeur's Fleet Director, “we are replacing them with hybrid and other alternative fuel vehicles.”

Already in use is the Lexus RX 400H Hybrid & Honda Accord. Over the next several months further purchases will ensue, including the GMC Flex Fuel Yukons and Bio-Diesel fueled Mini-Coaches.

"Boston Chauffeur's goal is to become a more environmentally conscious corporation,” said Boston Chauffeur's GM Mark Kini. “We are mindful of the impact our vehicles have on the environment and we are committed to doing everything we can to reduce greenhouse gases.”

Earlier this year, Boston Chauffeur moved to create a series of green initiatives that would eliminate and/or minimize those business practices which had an adverse effect on the earth’s natural resources. The company’s primary initiative was to increase the number of fuel efficient vehicles in its fleet. The incredible popularity and lackluster gas mileage of the SUV made it the most logical place to start. The flex fuel Suburban runs on gasoline and E85 Ethanol, which uses a cleaner-burning fuel made from U.S. grown biomaterial such as corn and other grain products.

Boston Chauffeur continues to investigate the market for fuel friendly vehicles that will best suit the needs of their clients, the environment, and alternative fuel availability.

We Champion Quality.....

2007-09-18T09:03:00.000-04:00

Quality service. That is what you can expect from Boston Chauffeur. Our success depends on it. The majority of our clients are repeat customers who have traveled with us for several years. They know they can rely on Boston Chauffeur to deliver quality service at an exceptional value, which ensures they have a great experience again and again.

The quality of our service is represented by many factors: we arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled pick-up, we maintain an immaculate fleet of late-model luxury vehicles, our sharply-attired chauffeurs are consummate professionals, and our office staff remains hard at work behind the scenes 24/7.

We are continually striving to not just meet, but to exceed, our client's expectations. We will continue to champion quality in all aspects of our business. You can be assured of that!

A great deal for Cummings Center businesses!

2007-09-11T15:25:00.000-04:00

Book Early for Big Events

2007-09-06T09:41:00.000-04:00

Weddings are a specialty of Boston Chauffeur. A lot of time and effort on the part of the bride and groom goes in to planning a wedding of one's dreams. This special day is enhanced by having stylish and elegant chauffeured transportation for the bridal party, family, or guests. June has always been considered to be the peak wedding month, and though it is still very popular, September and October have also become busy months for weddings. So whether you are planning a spring or summer wedding or cozy fall nuptials it is important to book early to ensure the best selection and the best availability. For more information, please check our weddings page on our website.

We can also provide transportation for proms, concerts, sporting events, etc. Part of the fun is having a great vehicle to ride in! Our larger vehicles, such as the 8-, 10-, and 12-passenger limousines, and specialty vehicles such as the 20 passenger Escalades and the Hummer H2 sell out quickly when a big name comes to town, such as this weekend when Jimmy Buffet comes to Boston. Those Parrotheads know they want to do it up right and they booked early!
