A luxury stretch limousine with onboard Jacuzzi is due to go under the hammer in Cape Town at the end of the month.

The impressive limo measures 12.5 metres in length and has room onboard for up to 23 passengers, so if you’re planning a big celebration, this is the limousine to do it in.

As well as an onboard Jacuzzi, the limousine also boasts no less than 6 plasma screens and DVD systems, plus fibre optic lighting effects and full ostrich leather upholstery for a super luxurious feel.

The limo was bought by its present owner in 1996 and underwent 12 months worth of improvements to transform the vehicle into the attention-grabbing ride it is today.

The state of the art limo would be ideally suited for use by private hire customers for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, school proms and even corporate events. With only a handful of limos with onboard Jacuzzis in existence, we imagine customers would be queuing up to book their ride in this extraordinary limousine.

If you’re looking for an extra special limo to celebrate a big occasion such as a wedding or school prom, get in touch with Limo Broker today to receive a free quote for chauffeur driven limo hire to any destination in the UK.

Prom limo wish comes true for Swindon youngsters

June 8, 2010 By Dez Rowley

Prom limo found at the 11th hour to transport a group of school pupils from Swindon

A group of youngsters from Swindon have had their prayers answered after a new limo hire company has stepped forward to transport them to their prom after their original booking fell through.

The year 11 pupils from Greendom School were devastated after the owner of the limousine they had booked to take them to their school prom informed them that he’d had to sell the luxury vehicle because of “poor trading conditions.”

The former limo boss said he would pass their booking onto another company, however their limos were already fully booked for the popular prom date, and they could only offer the girls a luxury cars for the night, as opposed to the limousine they had dreamed of.

With demand for chauffeur driven limos far outweighing supply during the peak prom season, the school pupils hit a dead end when they attempted to find another operator to transport them to their school prom in style.

After calling every limo company in the area, as luck would have it, one firm came forward to help the girls out. Although they couldn’t take a booking for the prom night, they agreed to transport the girls to the prom free of charge, and to take them home again for a reduced fee.

The 8 school girls are now looking forward to arriving at their school prom in the lap of luxury thanks to the limo hire company in Swindon which came forward to save the day.

Limousine was driven away by repossession man on prom night

A limousine which had been hired for a school prom date in Oklahoma, USA, was driven away by a bailiff as the prom-goers were dropped off at the event on Friday night.

A concerned relative who witnessed the man from the repossession company getting into the driver’s seat of the limo and driving away, called the police as they believed the limousine was being carjacked.

The group of school friends hired the limo for their school prom which was held in a suburb of Tulsa. The chauffeur was stood with the bunch of prom-goers as they were parked outside of the Oklahoma Aquarium where the event was being held when the man from the repossession company got behind the wheel, and sped off in the limo.

Galaxy Limos who provided the limo hire put the incident down to a case of miscommunication between the bank and the lending company. The limo hire boss claims the financial issue had been cleared up with the bank, but they had failed to pass the message onto the repossession company.

The prom group have been offered a partial refund or a free limo ride to make amends for the incident.

Limo Broker contradicts gloomy industry survey by reporting the most successful year to date

In a recent survey conducted by top industry magazine and website, The Chauffeur.com, the results indicated that a hefty proportion of those involved in the limo hire business had noted a decline in custom during the difficult period of 2009, whereas agent brokers within the industry seemed unaffected by the slump. The survey sought to gain a snapshot of how the luxury transport business was fairing during the economic downturn, and how these businesses feel about the future of the industry.

Out of all the limo hire operators interviewed by The Chauffeur Magazine as part of the survey, 62% said they had noticed a marked slowdown in their business over the last 12 months. 50% of those who had reported a decrease in business said that they estimated that the number of their bookings had dropped by 25%, but 40% said they’d noted a 50% drop in bookings received through 2009.

However broker agents within the industry tell a very different story, with many reporting a surge in business as more and more people choose to shop around to find cheap deals for limo hire. One of the UK’s leading limo hire brokers, Limo Broker Ltd, seemed to buck the trend in 2009 and reported one of their busiest years ever. This marked contrast in fortunes between the independent limo operators and the brokers, could raise a question mark over the future of the limo hire firms as the broker agents gain more power within the business.

Limo Broker is also displaying encouraging signs for the New Year. The enquiry rate has been extremely high during January and the company have reported an increase in wedding car and wedding limo hire bookings for the coming summer season. Limo Broker’s January sale promotion which saw hire prices heavily reduced has also helped boost bookings.

Other results from The Chauffeur website survey revealed that limo hire operators are looking towards the future with optimism as 46% of those questioned saying that they were planning to invest in a new vehicle for the fleet within the next year.
