Houston limousine Vs taxi

Airport Taxis&Ground TransportationCar Services & Taxis will both provide door-to-door transportation. Car services are not supposed to pick up Passengers unless they have been reserved in advance. If you would like to reserve a Houston car service or limo in advance, pleaseclick here. Taxis are not reserved in advance but rather can be "hailed" from the street. Taxis have base fares, and then $ per mile/time…and expect some form of gratuity.Taxi Rates & Limo Prices: Always get a confirmation of your rate in advance. Most taxi's and Limo services have base fares and are not all inclusive. For example, NYC has a 2% tax on car services, 8.625% NY State and local sales taxes, and tolls are almost never included in your quoted price. In Houston most companies include everything in the price. You can often avoid additional toll charges by asking the driver to take a specific route of your choice if you are familiar with Houston. Some taxis will try to take advantage of you, even though their rates are standardized.Airport Pickup: Limo Services and Car Service offer indoor pickups, providing an extremely stress-free pickup at any airport (your driver will meet you at baggage claim with a sign). Indoor pickup usually costs extra, plus any applicable waiting time or parking fees. With Outside pickup, the driver will meet you at curbside pickup.Disadvantages of Airport Taxi:Waiting time. After a long flight, waiting in line for a cab is not idealDrivers are not always familiar with area, and not background checked.Cars are not reliable, and can break down en routeAdvantages of Car Services:No Taxi linesInside Pickup OptionCan be Paid for in Advance, or in the car at the pick-up time. Can accommodate more than 4 peopleProfessional DriversCan Reserve OnlineCan be hired hourly to provide you with transportation around the cityCan get car service discounts when booked onlineWhen Considering Limo Services:Typically more expensive than taxi service (though often it is only a few dollars more expensive)Often requires a credit card to book, if first time. Penalty if not cancelled in time (ask about cancellation policy)Car Service Options:Economy Town Car - Can accommodate 1-4 passengers, with a moderate amount of luggage (3+ good sized suitcases).Luxury Sedan –Lincoln Town Car (new model), Mercedes or Cadillac. Same space as a full sized sedan, but more luxuriousVIP Sedan – New Town Car models with very professional driversPlatinum Sedan – Longer models of the standard Town Car, satellite radio and wireless Internet in the car along with our most professional driversMinivan or SUV - Can accommodate 5 passengers and about 5 pieces luggage (sometimes 6 passengers with minimal luggage)Vans - Can accommodate 6-14 passengers and their luggageStretch Limousine - Can accommodate 6-14 passengers (depending on the limo), but luggage space is the same as a standard Town Car.Stretch SUV, Stretch Hummer - Can accommodate up to 14 passengers.

Paper versus Digital Maps

Okay, I admit it, I've used digital maps like thousands of Houstonians when I want quick results showing me directions to my destination. But I've also tried to go to many streets that don't exist, have been closed, can't make a left and are just plain screwed up from my digital map print outs. When I'm driving (especially alone) in a section of town that I've never been I find it very comforting to know I have a Key Map atlas that I can rely on to get me back on track. If my GPS has wrong information I usually don't want to get out of my car late at night or pull over in a strange neighborhood and ask for directions. I find it much safer and reliable to consult my Key Map AtlasHouston, we value your opinion.  Do you agree with my opinion that although GPS systems are great you still rely on Key Maps for peace of mind when driving in unfamiliar territory?  And while you're here, take a minute and tell us if you: Own a Key Map Atlas? What County do you Have? What County Would You Like to See in Print? What new feature would you like to see in a Key Map? ~ ...read more

New Texas Laws concerning Car Seats

New Texas Booster Seat Law Clarified There has been some confusion about a new state law that requires all children younger than eight (8) years old, UNLESS taller than 4'9" to be in child passenger safety seat system. ("Child passenger safety seat system" includes traditional car seats with harnesses AND booster seats – both high-back and backless versions.) The law also requires all safety seats and booster seats to be installed according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the safety seat system. Because of the changes of the wording in the law (SB61), the following legal interpretation should be applied: Once a child reaches eight (8) years old, they are not legally required to be in a child safety seat system. If the child is younger than eight years old, BUT they are already 4'9" tall, they are not legally required to be in a child safety seat system. If a child is eight years old or older, and not yet 4'9" tall, they are not legally required to be in a child safety seat system. The law also requires that safety and booster seats be installed and used according to the manufacturer's instructions, including age, height and weight requirements and the placement in the vehicle. (Some manufacturers prohibit using their products on the front seats of vehicles.) The other part of the law that may cause some confusion are the dates of when the law takes effect and when the enforcement phase begins. The law will take effect September 1, 2009. Law enforcement officers may only enforce the new changes in the law with written or verbal warnings until June 1, 2010. However, beginning on June 1, 2010, officers may then arrest or issue a citation/notice to appear to a person committing an offense. A fine can be assessed for up to $250 for offenses. Vehicle manufacturers design their products for adults – not kids – and they support keeping kids in the appropriate safety or booster seat until the child can properly wear the adult safety belt…typically when they reach 4'9" tall. Once your child has reached eight years old, to know when they can wear an adult seat belt properly without a booster seat, use this simple test: Have your child sit on the vehicle seat, sitting all the way back, with their back straight against the back of the seat, and buckle the lap/shoulder belt over them. Do their legs bend naturally at the knees over the edge of the seat? Does the lap portion of the belt fit low over the hips and top of their thighs? Does the shoulder portion of the belt fit across the center of their chest? If the answer to any of these three questions is no, the child may be better protected in a booster seat. A child in a poorly-fitting adult seat belt usually slumps down, allowing the seat belt to ride up into their abdomen or neck, which can cause severe injuries to the child's neck and internal organs during a car crash. Although there is no law that prevents youngsters from sitting in the front seat of a vehicle, the safest place for a child in a car is in a rear seat, properly buckled into a child safety seat or a booster seat. Air bags don't replace child safety seats and may increase the risk of serious injury to children. Children younger than 13 should never ride in the front seats of vehicles with active passenger air bags. If you do have to transport a child in the front seat in an emergency – make sure the front seat is moved all the way back on the track, placing as much room as possible between the deployment zone of the air bag and the vehicle seat…but NEVER place a rear-facing safety seat on a front seat. A final, but very important note: please read and follow the instructions in both the safety/booster seat owner's manual AND the vehicle owner's manual. Not all safety or booster seats fit the same in all vehicles – so you may have to try several before finding a good fit for your child and vehicle. If you have any questions, please contact Beth Warren, DPS Administrative Training Unit, Safety Programs at 512-424-5639 orbeth.warren@txdps.state.tx.us. ...read more

Century Limousine Service

5.0

By Kate Gramm

I had my wedding few weeks ago. I wanted it to be perfect from the very beginning to the very end so I searched a limousine company with the best cars and best service. And I have found one! Century Limousine Services offers many limousines for different needs. I chose this one http://limoscanner.com/partner-vehicle/1977-limousine-1.passenger-century-limousine-services/. It is amazing limo for ten passengers. My guests were very surprised by this limousine. The car arrived in time and we started out tour immediately. We drive around the city few hours making stops in bars, parks and clubs. The driver was very nice and polite. He offers some cool places to visit. But the best part was the photoshoot in and out of the limousine. The photos look great! My wedding day was perfect as I wished and I want to thank Century Limousine Services for this. ...read more
