A top ranking American limo rental website, EzLimoRentals.com (pronounced Easy Limo Rentals) has been bought out by an anonymous UK based buyer according to a recent online report. It’s understood the new owner of EzLimoRentals.com operates a leading limousine hire business in the UK and is planning to expand the company into America.

To mark the takeover of EzLimoRentals.com the new owners are offering all American limousine rental agents the chance to benefit from a free listing on the high ranking website. Companies that already have a listing on the limousine rental site will be able to keep their ad, while those who would like to experiment to see if a listing on EzLimoRentals.com would help boost their online profile, will have the chance to try out the service free of charge.

The new owners of EzLimoRentals.com see the acquisition of the new website as their first step into the American market, something the British company has been keen to pursue for some time according to recent reports. The mystery Managing Director of the UK based company was quoted as saying, “Targeting the American market is something we’ve been planning for some time, however we had to wait for the right opportunity to come our way.”

The anonymous new owner went on to say, “EzLimorentals.com is the perfect way in for our company as our strength lies in our online marketing – taking ownership of a recognisable site such as EzLimorentals.com will provide us with a substantial leg-up into the US market while at the same time providing us with great potential to develop our brand”.

Now the buy-out of the leading American limo rental website is complete, the new owners say they are planning to get straight to work revamping the site. The mystery owner is understood to have successfully developed a range of online products as part of the limo hire business in the UK with a proven track record in strong online marketing.

The company is now planning to take their winning model over to the US with the same web team poised to re-develop the EzLimoRentals.com website to improve the website’s SEO, and boost its overall ranking with the aim of becoming one of the most influential limo rental providers in the States.

Introducing the Fiat 500 limousine

January 18, 2012 By TJ Harris
Fiat-500-Limo

Italian coach builder, Castagna Milano, have unveiled plans to create a limousine version of the popular car about town, the Fiat 500. The new limousines involve stretching the diminutive Fiat 500 to 5.32 meters, which is 2 meters longer than the average 500 model, meaning there’s more room onboard for exciting features and extra passengers.

A total of three different models of the Fiat 500 limo are being planned, each with their own individualities and key features. There’s the LimoSun, the LimoCity and the LimoCity Presidential.

The Fiat 500 was first introduced in Italy in 1957 as an affordable city car for the masses, however the Italian car maker stopped producing the model in 1975, only for a modern version of the iconic city car to be re launched in 2007.

The new and improved version of the Fiat 500 model which went on sale from 2007 has proved a big hit with customers as the nifty cars are the ideal run-around for city travel and thanks to the new twin-air technology on the latest models, the 500 produces low emissions. Fiat sold 70,000 of the new Fiat 500 models in the car’s first month, with Fiat winning the Car of the Year 2008 award for the revamped 500.

Spurred on by the success of the 500’s comeback, Castagna Milano hope to tap into the love the car buying public have for this iconic car with the launch of a limo version. The LimoSun Fiat 500 Limo has an expansive sunroof, hence the name, which the car designer say can be created with a transparent cover to allow for panoramic views for the passengers. The LimoCity has a circular sofa onboard, while the LimoCity Presidential is the deluxe model which has an onboard bar, entertainment features and electric sliding doors.

Chauffeur driven limo collects Pink Floyd guitarist’s son from jail

November 16, 2011 By Trudi Johnson
Mercedes

Charlie Gilmour, the son of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, left prison in the back of a chauffeur driven limo this week after serving a quarter of his sentence for violent disorder during the December student fee demo.

The 65-year-old guitarist was thought to be waiting inside the chauffeur driven Mercedes when 21-year-old Charlie was seen leaving the medium security Wayland Prison near Thetford, Norfolk.

The luxury car took the reunited party to the family’s mansion home in Sussex where the Cambridge student must keep to a strict curfew for the next four months while he’s electronically tagged. After the four months are up, he will serve the last half of his jail sentence on probation.

The adopted son of the Pink Floyd star was jailed in July for 16 months after pleading guilty to the charge of violent disorder during the student riots of last December. Charlie Gilmour was photographed swinging from the Cenotaph Union flag, and also hurled a bin at the passing Rolls Royce carrying the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Following his release from the Norfolk prison, Cambridge University, where the 21-year-old was studying for a degree in history, will decide whether or not to allow Charlie to return to his studies. The son of the Pink Floyd guitarist has been released after serving just a quarter of his 16-month jail term.

Lindsay Lohan in hot water over limo hire bill

October 10, 2011 By Trudi Johnson
lindsay-lohan

Actress Lindsay Lohan is reported to be back in trouble with the law after failing to pay a limo hire bill she ran up in 2009.

It’s been alleged that the Mean Girls actress hired chauffeur driven limousines on a regular basis between February and May 2009 for transport to events and occasions, running up a bill of $33,978. However the bill has since escalated to $90,000 as a result of late payment fees and other penalties.

Despite many attempts to settle the bill, the limo hire operator, Elite Transportation Limo and Security Services who charge £3,860 an hour for chauffeur driven limo hire, say they are yet to receive a many in payment from the actress and model.

A spokesperson for the 25-year-old said that Lindsay Lohan has not been informed of any new charges and therefore refused to comment further on the issue as they were not aware of any legal action being taken against the star.

The limo hire operator has confirmed that they are suing Lindsay Lohan and Tri Star Entertainment for the non payment of their fees.

Lindsay Lohan has become more famous for her brushes with the law than her movies in recent times. In June of this year, Lohan was put under house arrest for 35 days, and ordered to undertake 480 of community service, after pleading no contest to the theft of a $2,500 necklace. The 25-year-old hasn’t had a hit movie since 2005, although she is expected to star in upcoming mafia movie, Mob Street.

Bride runs to wedding after vintage Bentley gets stuck

September 28, 2011 By Trudi Johnson
bentley_wedding_limousine

A bride from York had to hot-foot it to her own wedding after the vintage car she’d hired to transport her on the big day got stuck turning around in the hotel car park.

Kirsty Beckett had arranged for her chauffeur driven Bentley wedding car to collect her from The Churchill Hotel in York on the morning of her wedding to transport her to the nearby church where she was due to marry fiancé Johnny Vintis.

However disaster struck when the chauffeur attempted to turn the classic wedding car around ready to whisk the bride off to the church as the vehicle became stuck. Despite several attempts to manoeuvre the Bentley out of its tight spot, the bride decided time was ticking away and if she left it any longer, the groom might think she was having second thoughts.

At this point bride Kirsty put her vanity to one side, hitched her wedding dress up and ran the short distance to the church in heels. The runaway bride also attracted lots of attention from passersby, many of whom stopped and stared as Kirsty ran down the street in her full bridal outfit.

The vicar and bridesmaids had assembled outside as they waited anxiously to see what the hold-up was. Luckily, it is the bride’s prerogative to be late, and Kirsty certainly made the most of the tradition, arriving just over 20 minutes late for the ceremony. Despite the wedding car mishap, the Kirsty and Johnny made it down the aisle and the rest of the wedding went according to plan.
