Limo Hire - Helpful Hints For Executive & Personal Assistants

Executive Assistants (EA) and Personal Assistants (PA) have a busy life looking after their executive's demands, creating a busy and hectic life. What if the life of the EA & PA were made easier by simplifying the process of limo hire for their executives?

Working with an Australia wide hire car provider, you need only email the requirements or travel itinerary so everything can be looked after. The travel itinerary can be for one person or a group of any number.

Once an executive has travelled, a record can be kept eliminating the need to repeat these details, saving time on future bookings.

Here are the details to give to your car hire provider to make your life easier...

- The name/s of the person or persons travelling on this booking so there is an awareness of the total number of people to be carried.

- The day, date and time of travel or flight details as required to ensure enough time is allowed for pick up to get to the airport or next required transport step in good time without having to rush.

- Pickup address including any specific parking or entry details at the pickup location that may be relevant for the pickup address.

- Current contact phone number, landline, for office, home or other relevant to the pickup, along with the mobile contact number for the person for whom the booking is being made.

These details are normally kept and used for subsequent bookings, reducing the need to repeatedly send the same, non changing information.

One pitfall found in the past is that sometimes booking details are received that are incomplete. This can be compounded when the booking is made via email at the close of business for the day, the sender of the details then goes home, the office is closed and are then unable to be obtained to finalise required details.

Ideally an after hours contact number should be provided so if further information be required or a change of events or situation occur, you can be kept abreast of events and instruct accordingly as to the best way to manage a varying situation.

The need for after hours contact information is low, but on rare occasions situations can arise where these details will keep all your travel bookings running smoothly.

Some professional car hire providers are open 24 hours (Live operators) so that response to your short notice changes of requirements can be facilitated. In business today, sometimes situations dictate that time and movement changes need to be altered at short notice.

In a perfect world wouldn't it be great if nothing ever changed!

The right limo hire company will make your life easier by having great systems, flexibility at short notice, and reachable 24 hours a day. A friendly face, clockwork like service and a level of service your executives expect can only be achieved through a corporate experience limo hire service.

Apply these hints to your next travel booking and you can rest assured you've done the best for your executives.

Tips For an Affordable Car Rental Decision As Hiring Rates Keep Climbing

With the recession in full swing since last year, one of the most affected sectors has been the automobile industry. Prices have dipped and so has consumer interest. However, car rentals, which had been one of the most sought after services even during the peak of recession has not wavered - both in terms of business as well as interest from potential clients.

Recent news suggests that car rental rates have increased by over 51% in 2009, which is a formidable figure as far as sales statistics are concerned. The concentration of these highly priced vehicle-hire services is mainly focused in and around airports.

Therefore, if you have been planning to hire an automobile for a more comfortable traveling experience, check out these tips to make your investment an affordable one:

Research - You need to start your groundwork well in advance of actually booking your vehicle or traveling out. From comparing agencies and price quotes to the different legal clauses and conditions applicable or even asking for references from your friends or colleagues who have already tried an agency, research augurs well for a considerable save on the investment.

Compatibility of the Vehicle - Check for the types of cars available, including the model, make or the size. This is especially important to avoid hiring a vehicle that is inefficient for the terrain or region you intend to travel in. It also helps avoid a space crunch within the vehicle itself.

Rental Advisory - You should also know of the right time to start booking in order to save on your investment. If you book the concerned vehicle from the agency months before you intend to actual ride out, it is possible that you would be able to avail of discounts. Also, booking a car rental service in the low-season is a great way to save, even if you intend to travel to the destined location in the peak season.

Timely Return - Return you're the hired vehicles within the time mentioned by the agency to avoid being fleeced off another day's fees. Moreover, book for a longer time-period, such as a week or a fortnight rather than for a few days in order to save money.

Safety Issues - Maintain a strict safety routine while traveling in the hired vehicle, as most agencies will impose hefty fines for even paltry damage to their vehicles.
