Sydney, Stretch Limousines and the Chauffeur’s Responsibilities

If you are renting one of our stretch limousines, you can rest assured that your driver will be a fully trained and top-class professional.

We also insist upon impeccable standards of appearance and behaviour. The chauffeurs will be friendly, helpful and experts in their job.

While we don’t believe in demarcation lines, it is perhaps worth pointing out that there are some things a chauffeur is responsible for and other things that don’t come within their remit.




Your driver’s primary responsibility is to arrive on time, help you to load your baggage into the vehicle, then to transport you quickly and safely to your final destination. He or she will also help you unload your baggage at the other end.

However, they are typically obliged to stay in reasonably close proximity to their vehicle at all times.

What this means is that typically they won’t be able to (e.g.) go off trying to find other people in office blocks for you or to make additional collections and deliveries of goods on an ad-hoc basis etc. Although they do have a degree of discretion, they are broadly available to you for the duration and purposes you will have booked at the outset.

We do recognise though that customer requirements can vary quite considerably. 
 
For example, if you or any of your passengers have limited mobility, our drivers may be able to assist in certain respects providing the position has been outlined to us in advance. Some vehicles by definition are more suitable for such requirements than others and we will be only too happy to help you make an appropriate selection.

If you need to change your itinerary ‘in-flight’, our chauffeurs will do everything humanly possible to assist you but it might not always be possible if they are due to go on to another booked assignment. As a result, if you are uncertain about your timetables around Sydney, stretch limousines might be better hired on a half-day or daily basis in order to maximise your freedom of choice.

At Bayside Limousines, we exist only to keep our customers happy and if you are at all uncertain about your actual requirements, please don’t hesitate to speak with us at the earliest opportunity.

The chances are, we will have seen it before and will have a ready-made solution on hand !

If you are planning an event or trip in Sydney, for business or pleasure, why not take advantage of our concierge service. We can arrange the transport PLUS we can help you book restaurant tables, boats, helicopters and more.

Wedding Limousine Hire – Perth and Surrounding areas

If you’re planning your wedding and would like to hire a limousine then we can help.

Following many years’ experience of helping couples achieve the ultimate in luxury transport for their big day, at Bayside Limousines we have put together a few ‘key thoughts’ to consider when drawing up your plans.

Who is being transported and how?

Ideas here vary a lot.

In very traditional situations, it’s usually the bride and bride’s father who travel in the most prestigious limo to wherever the wedding venue might be.

Sometimes though, that can cause logistical problems if pages and bridesmaids are also in the frame. Mothers, elderly and much-loved relatives, the groom and best man plus perhaps siblings, might all also need to be taken into account.

It’s not unknown for serious problems to arise when some of these critically important parties making their own way there have failed to arrive due to their vehicle breaking down or drivers simply getting lost. Yes, it really does happen!

Of course, you may not be able to afford a fleet of prestigious limousines to deliver everyone to the venue but it might be possible to arrange very comfortable professional and reliable group transport for those people that are ‘special’ and who you want to be sure will be there.

What sort of vehicle will you need?

There’s no one answer to this – it will be influenced by your preferences for style etc.

We can provide a range of options for luxury limousine hire. Perth options include:

• Mercedes S Class
• Audi A8L
• Mercedes Benz Sprinter (for those group transports)

This is just a sample and in fact we will have a vehicle that’s suitable for you.

Take into account when selecting:

• What impression and image you want to make upon arrival
• Internal rear seating configurations – make sure you’ll have enough room for your dress and headdress if you’re going very traditional.

We’ll be only too glad to help you in your wedding day planning and limousine hire. Perth couples can be sure of our very best service on their belhalf.

Limousine Hire - Sydney and Elsewhere

If you are thinking of hiring a luxury limousine and have never done so before, you might find some of the following top tips useful.

1. Be selective. For limousine hire, Sydney and other Australian cities have plenty of outlets but make sure you are using a professional organization providing a fully licensed and insured service – as per Bayside Limousines.

2. Check the tariffs carefully. A given provider may look to be offering very attractive prices but to be sure you will need to look at the full terms and conditions - including things such as cancellation and waiting charges etc.

3. Select an appropriately sized vehicle for your party and distances. Typically more modest vehicles might appear to be more cost-effective but if you have several people travelling together and you are travelling over long distances, paying a little extra for a larger and even more luxurious vehicle might be sensible.

4. Plan your itinerary. Different limousine hire companies calculate their prices on different bases. However, if you don’t plan an efficient itinerary you could be doing more kilometres and burning more time than is necessary. Your driver will typically be only too happy to oblige your every whim in that respect but remember that planning your route and sequences of stops may help to optimise your journey and keep your costs down.

5. Allow sufficient time. That’s particularly important when your limousine hire is linked to other travel plans including flights. Remember that however expert your driver is, they can’t stop you encountering check-in delays or guarantee that there won’t be traffic hold-ups on the road. So, build in some contingency.

6. Discuss any special luggage requirements in advance. It’s not completely unknown for drivers to arrive with a luxury limo only to find that their customer is trying to bring (e.g.) a full-sized Welsh harp with them!

7. Consider reducing your share of the cost of your limo by sharing the hire with friends or colleagues where possible. For example, it may be more cost-effective and environmentally friendly for you and several other colleagues to travel to a conference by a single luxury limousine rather than each using your own individual cars.

Just a few basic thoughts but they may come in handy. For More details Visit http://www.baysidelimousines.com.au/sydney/

Girls and boys spend long hours trying to find the best prom dress or the best prom suit.

If you are planning on going to the prom with your friends and their respective dates then limousine buses turn out to be chic yet affordable option to travel. You are definitely going to make heads turn as you and your friends alight from a luxurious limousine bus. Limousine buses are starkly different from limousine cars.

You can treat yourself to a luxurious sofa seating arrangement so that you can enjoy the company of your friends. These buses are fitted with LCD screens and digital surround sound music systems, so you can start the party within the limo itself. Most of these limousine buses also have a small mini bar installed in them so you can be the perfect host to your friends.

Courteous and friendly chauffeur will man the limousine bus so you need not worry about focusing on the road while you are with your friends.

It is a good idea to check with the company if they can offer you a discount for booking in advance. Do not forget to check on commercials beforehand. Always check what amount needs to be paid in advance and what amount has to be paid after using the services. Also check if you would need to pay for waiting charges or you could simply arrange for a scheduled pick and drop facility. Careful planning and budgeting can allow you to bask in limelight on your prom night as you and your friends make a grand entry in a luxurious limo bus.

Why using Limousine Rentals for Domestic Airport Transfers

How many times have you felt disappointed while walking towards the serpentine queue at pre-paid taxi counters after landing from a strenuous flight? Pre-paid taxi counters are always filled with long queues of passengers who want to take a reliable transfer service to their destination. You may choose to step aside from the queue and opt for a shuttle service to save time. However shuttle services would require you to walk till the bus station while you lug around your luggage. You would definitely not be in the mood to take such a walk to the bus station. You may be wondering what is the alternative to the hassles of a pre-paid taxi service or a shuttle service. Well, don’t fret, you could save your travel related hassle by opting for a limousine rental instead of a pre-paid taxi or a shuttle service. 

There are several reasons for choosing limousine for domestic airport transfers.

1. Convenience: it is convenient to book a limo rental over the phone or online and you can be assured that a trained chauffeur will be available for picking you up at the airport after you have landed. You can be relaxed throughout your flight with the assurance that you don’t have to wrestle with other passengers for getting a prepaid taxi.

2. Comfort: limousine offers added comfort with its spaciousness. You need not cram up in a pre-paid taxi when you can afford world class luxury at a small fee. Passengers often feel jet lagged after flying for long hours. Standing in queue for a pre-paid taxi can be really taxing. Travelling uncomfortably, as you try to find some rest for your feet amidst your entire luggage that is crammed with you in a taxi, can be really taxing. By renting a limo for your domestic airport transfers you ensure that you enjoy best of the services. You can relax your jet lagged body in the calm and soothing interiors of the luxury limousine.

3. Safety: limousine companies hire professional drivers who are polite and courteous. Such drivers know how to carefully manoeuvre vehicle like a limo. They are extremely cautious and hence they drive safely. They ensure that you are at utmost peace and comfort throughout the journey. Taxis or pre-paid cabs often rush through traffic trying to overtake and reach the destination earlier so that they can return soon for the next pick up. This is not true in case of a limousine rental. You can therefore be assured of safety while you travel from airport to your destination.

4. Flexibility: a pre-paid cab may not allow you to stop at different destinations in case you need to pick up anything or in case you need to simply click photographs. By hiring a limousine you can have the flexibility of choosing a halt in your destination. In case your journey extends by certain time then you simply pay for the extra time taken and you reach your destination in a leisurely fashion.

Tips on Choosing Luxury Transport Services

Business owners often have foreign delegates or important clients visiting their office and they would often want the delegate to have the best impression about the business. In order to do so, business owners arrange for airport pickups, stay and travel arrangements for the delegates. In such scenarios a normal cab or a sedan won’t do, you need to create an indelible footprint in the mind of your client. You would want your client to remember your diligence in his hospitality as it would usually reflect your seriousness towards his business. Luxury transport services are the first thing that crosses your mind when you think about comfortable and chic mode of transport for your business partner or a special someone. There are several companies that offer luxury transport services and it can be quite difficult to put your finger on the apt one especially if you are searching for one at a short notice. Here are some tips that could help you in choosing the right luxury transport services.

1. Choose a Well known Provider: when it comes to luxury transport services, it is crucial to go by the reputation. Always select a company that has been in the business for several years and knows the etiquettes and nuances of the trade. A novice company is likely to be under-prepared or clumsy in their services. You can forego your initial jitters of sending the right car for your client or associate by simply choosing one of reputed service provider of luxury vehicles. 

2. Know your purpose: choice of vehicle greatly depends on the purpose that is hired for. If you have a senior cadre official or a person of high designation visiting you, it is best to send him the best in the class limousine or a top class luxury sedan. On other hand if it is a group of people who are travelling to a common destination then you could probably hire a limousine bus or a stretch limo for added comfort and more economical price.

3. Know the tariff and other charges: quite often we look at base tariff or the base quote and choose our vendors; however that may not work out while hiring luxury transport services. It is important to understand the time for which you are charged the base tariff, you need to ask questions like what is the charge for waiting period, how is charge calculated, can you make a halt for picking up something or even for taking a photo etc. Some companies may not specify hidden charges like parking charges, waiting charge, chauffeur tip, service charge etc hence their base quote may look cheaper. It is important that you ask the company about their specific policies for airport transfers, would the company charge for waiting period if your flight is delayed, how long the car would wait in case you get delayed at customs etc. Asking these questions can help you in choosing a top quality service provider at the best price.

Last but not the least, check the cancellation policy, payment terms and refund policy before you book the service.

Bayside Limousines have been providing luxury transport services for over 20 years. That is the sort of experience money can’t buy, which is why we are a cut above our competitors.
