Some ideas about hiring a Limousines - found on the web:

What Limousine Company to choose.
There are a number of questions you should ask yourself before choosing a Limousine Company and Chauffeur. These include what kind of impact you’re looking to make, and what level of luxury you are after? At a more practical level, you’ll need to decide what services are available in your area, how long the company has been in business (and thus their level of expertise) and what the certification and guarantees that they offer to ensure you get the service you hired. A list of previous clients usually gives a good indication of the level of the company. But there might be a problem finding out some of the information because of discretion. In general, have a look at the web site and see if you can find testimonials.

Vehicle Type
In the general, the preferred choice for a limousine with chauffeur include Mercedes-Benz, Rolls Royce, BMW, Chrysler and Bentley: the well-known brands offer all their uniqueness, style, opulence and class. You may even be able to choose the colour of the Limousine, silver, dark blue or dark green etc.

Chauffeur
The ideal choice for a limousine with chauffeur is a company that provides chauffeurs to meet your particular tastes. You can, for example, have the ability to specify what the chauffeur  wears, whether to wear a shirt with a neck tie or open and a suit etc. Chauffeurs can meet additional safety requirements, hiring former law enforcement personnel of the army or police, for the close protection or the protection of VIPs.


Charges
Hire of chauffeur will depend on whether you are looking for airport transfers, or a current account with the ability to benefit from concierge services. In all cases, you must ensure that the company you choose has no additional hidden charges that you are unaware, as mileage rates or implicit service charges and passenger fees. Most services will be charged for the high holidays, and these kinds of things should be clear from the beginning.

Additional options and concierge services
Some companies provide benefits for the occasional use of luxury vehicles, such as wedding guests or persons on a stag or hen night, and include things like champagne, balloons and bowties. Others offer the life-style catering services for a customer demanding a real taste of luxury on an ad hoc basis. Concierge services may include hotel and restaurant reservations, theater tickets and theater, flower delivery, personal shopping, office and residential, private aviation services and much more.

Baggage Services
Some limousine companies also offer chauffeur services for luggage transfers between airports and transportation for other items to be shipped elsewhere. For high-paying customers, which makes all the difference to be spared the inconvenience of waiting and baggage carousels in commercial airports.

For what occasions should I use a "Chauffeured Limousine in Darwin"

There are plenty of different occasions that would be made more special with a chauffeur driven limousine – so it is really up to you! It depends on the impression you want to make, the money you want to spend and the person you want to treat (spoil) or impress.
If you are feeling extravagant, and just want to show your partner how much you love them, you could order Darwin Limousines BMW 750Li / 740Li to pick you up at home, and take you to one of the best restaurants, bars or venues in town. You can both have wine with dinner and be driven home again after wards for a luxurious pampered evening. No worry about Random Breath Testing!



Chauffeur driven cars are also generally used for the bridal party at a wedding, and maybe the bridesmaids, parents, groom and best man.

You can use a chauffeured car for a day trip to a party. That way you won’t have to worry about directions or parking at your destination. It also means that you can look out of the window, enjoy  the phenomenal architecture and parks, rather than spending the whole time concentration on the traffic.

Chauffeured cars can be also be used for business meetings, as they certainly give off the impression of important position, authority and style.

A chauffeur-driven night out.

Many people have to rely on a taxi service to get home after a late night at a club or a party, where there is often no certainty that the taxi will show up or the driver knows where he’s going. This is why many people use chauffeur-driven limousines to get them home after a party or function, as it guarantees safe and comfortable transport home.



Our customers are extremely glad to see their chauffeur-driven luxury limousine, after they were looking exhausted on a night out with their partner. Some couples rarely get a night out together these days, as they have youngsters to look after.
 On occasions, they headed to Darwin CBD together and arranged for a luxury chauffeur-driven limousine to pick them up from home at the end of the night bringing them back. After an exciting night, they climbing into the back of a limousine, with an experienced chauffeur waiting to drive them and the comfortable interiors of the car to sink into, they could just relax and let themselves be driven home. Nothing to fear from Random Breath Testing Units!

If you want to arrange a special night out, especially if you aren’t able to get out much, hiring a BMW 750Li with a chauffeur can be the perfect way to round off the night.

I have nothing to add to this little article.

Chauffeur Car Services are very prominent these days. Be it a special occasion or a business meeting or just for the sake of touring people nowadays are increasingly using Chauffeur Car Services in order to get the ultimate feeling of the Chauffeur car ride. Even nowadays people are keeping private and permanent chauffeurs for their cars so as to satisfy the needs of the family members if they want to go out anywhere. Apart from that there are many other reasons why people consider keeping a chauffeur for their cars. It is almost a necessity for the big companies as they need it desperately in order to keep up the name of the company and to impress the clients. In the whole scenario everything is changing except a particular person i.e. chauffeurs. A Chauffeur Car Service is incomplete without the Chauffeurs. The whole Chauffeur Car Service industry revolves around these Chauffeurs who play a vital role in this service.

The life of a chauffeur is very delicate and also very rewarding. The profession demands a lot of quality work from a chauffeur. Thus it is very important that a chauffeur blends his driving as well as social skills quite well. Whether a person is working in the corporate or in a private environment a chauffeur has to be friendly, discreet and importantly to have very good driving skills as he will have to ensure the safety of the passengers at all times. A professional chauffeur is very much different from a normal driver. A driver delivers pizza. The Chauffeur is a registered person with the local authorities and is licensed to be a chauffeur. For this he has to take professional courses where he is taught to behave properly and also to drive in such a manner that the security of the customer is ensured all the time.


Apart from all this he is also taught to handle those situations in which some problem arises such as the tyre is punctured etc. Thus when he comes out of the course he is supposed to be skilled in risk management, etiquette skills and in both personal and public safety skills. Apart from all this he should also posses advanced driving techniques and he should have a perception of hazards. Thus all these things make the life of a chauffeur complete and thus make him a good chauffeur.

And, as always, we would like to receive comments and hints on how we can improve our service.
