The National Limousine Association  provides these five tips when you hire a transportation service for your teenager’s big night:

1. Ask the transportation company for the Prom Promise. This is a document that teens sign in agreement of not drinking or taking drugs on prom night. Many limousine and chauffeured transportation companies offer this contract as a way to give parents an outlet to discuss the importance of safety on prom with their teens.

2. Give the transportation company a curfew. That’s right; the chauffeur will abide by any rules you set forth, and will make sure to pick up and drop off your kids at a designated hour. This is a great way ensure your kids make it home on time, no excuses.

3. Check with industry associations to make sure the company you choose is reputable. Organizations such as the National Limousine Association (NLA) and the local livery association are good indications that your service provider does their due diligence. If you are still stuck, consult www.nlaride.com. The National Limousine Association’s website lists limousine professionals by community. Consumers can compare services, pricing, vehicle availability and receive non-binding online price quotes.

4. Set some ground rules. As the parent, you have the right to tell the transportation company what will and will not be tolerated in the vehicle. For example, you can ask that the chauffeur keep the privacy screen down for the entire ride, so that he/she has a full grasp of what your kids are up to. If any of your rules are broken, the chauffeur can turn the car around and bring your kids home.

5. Remember to sit back and relax. A reputable company hires drivers with proper training and licensing. Theses chauffeurs are used to carting around excited passengers all day long, so they know how to keep things under control.

 This weekend while you were snug as a bug in a rug, my crew & myself  had the honor of plowing our parking lot so our limousines and sedans, hearses & flowercars could get out. Life goes on right?

Our facility, is built on 2 acres in Edison NJ, at 4 am Saturday morning  there was so much snow,  that if we could have dumped it in one pile the kids of the neighborhood could have had a man-made ski jump!

The photo attached to the link “facility” shows our building in the Spring.

Here’s what we looked like Saturday afternoon: 

Today’s tip: When you know it’s going to snow overnight and you just cant bear the thought of scraping your windshield, here’s a simple solution.  Grab a moving blanket, or old tarp (something that will cover your windshield plus 6 inches on either end) . Open your front car doors, lay the tarp on your windshield and with the door open, drape the remaining material inside your car. Close the door so the material is inside. Now repeat this process on the other side of the vehicle. In the morning, all you’ll have to do is open your doors, pull off the material and voila! Clean windshield!

If you’d also like to have a warm & cozy car and dont trust leaving your car running without you…checkout our friends at Precision Motorsports in Metuchen. Tell them we sent you, and we’ll donate 10% of the price of  their services to the CommunityFood Bank of NJ!

Well we are on a mission to pilot this program in the Edison, South Plainfield and Piscataway areas of NJ.

So if you know anyone who can authorize the program at their restaurant in the areas we had mentioned above, let me know ok? thanks!
