Rolls Royace: A royal limousine ride for everybody for all occasions

The mere mention of the name, Rolls Royce, has hypnotised many of us for many years.  And why wouldn’t it?  After all, up until now, this majestic vehicle with its shiny grandeur has awed many of us because it has been synonymous only for the Royals, Celebrities and the extremely wealthy. However, that perception is no longer true as anyone can hire a Rolls Royce these days.

Here are some important facts & information about Rolls Royace:
  • All Royce-Royce motor cars are handmade.
  • The first Rolls Royce, named after Henry Royace who had the dream to turn out the best car in the
    world, was rolled out of the production line in England in 1906.
  • Each Rolls-Royce motor car passes through 60 pairs of hands before it’s handed over to its new owner.
  • Famous people who have owned a Rolls-Royce in the past – King Edward VIII, Queen Elizabeth II in 1950, Grace Kelly, Greta Garbo, Charlie Chaplin, Gary Grant, Sammy Davis Jr, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Boxer Muhammad Ali, just to name a few.
  • The Phantom VI was the last Rolls-Royce with separate chassis, which carried Kate Middleton to westminister Abbey on her wedding day.
  • At least one Phantom was built 1995 by order of the “Sultan of Brunei”. This car was named Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine.

Tips to getting the best limo deals in Sydney



There is no doubt that there has been an increased demand for Limousine services today.  As a result, we can see the emergence of many limo service providers not only in Sydney but also other major Australian cities, offering different rental packages and services, catering to your needs & demands. You can use these limo services for any traveling and transportation need, be it for airport transfer, pickup and drop off to and from the meeting place, or going to special events like wedding, prom nights, and other leisure travels.

But before hiring a limo company, you should first make sure what is that you exactly need from your limo service.  You would also want to make sure whether you need the limo just for a few hours or for the entire day.  Then you could start running some research before selecting a provider to rent a limo with.  If I were you, I would start by looking for them on the internet and make a list so that I am able to compare them on the basis of their experience, packages, and reputation.  You would also do good if you could get some concrete information on the types of fleets they offer, and for how long they are being operated on the road.  If you believe that certain fleets are fairly old and worn-down, then you probably wouldn’t want to take them.  After all, you want the best deal for the price you pay. Don’t you?

Now that you have concluded your primary research on the limousine companies, it is time to select the company that gives you the best deal.  Also, please never forget to ask if your limo company has any special rates going on.  Some limo companies actually slash down their prices considerably during a certain period of the month or weeks.  It is also important that you carefully go through the rental agreement before booking signing so that you don’t get duped or feel cheated at the end of the day.

Sydney looks beautiful in the summer! So, just get out & enjoy while you can!

Summer is here!  So, if you are an outdoor kind of person, I am sure you would just love to roam around the city either in public transportation or private cars.  If you like to drive your own car like a bit more freedom in exploring the exotic sydney city on your own, perhaps you would want to just jump in your own car and hit the road.  But what if you don’t like to drive that much like me and in a mood to become just lazy and enjoy for a day?  Should that be the case, you would probably go for a rented car or a local limousine services (if you like more luxury & comfort).


The great thing about having your own car and driving it is that you will have the freedom of going.  But the
problem with driving your own car is that you will have carry some unnecessary fear of finding a good parking space, if you are like me, i have a feeling that worrying about a good parking space is the last thing you would want to worry while actually you are in a mood to relax and enjoy a bit.  Besides, of course, going for a long ride by your own car can drain your mind & body down a bit.  So, the feeling of enjoyment & relaxation might just not be there at the end of the day.  Or you could just forget about driving your own car and decide to go for a local car or limo service.


When you are with a professional limo service, you could very easily forget about the worries of driving your own car while enjoying every bit of your time, exploring the big and beautiful city of Sydney.  All we need to do is to make sure that your limo driver knows the roads and areas by heart.  So, please ask your limo driver about how many years he/she is driving a limo or with a limousine business.  The idea is, of course, the longer is your limo company in the business, the more experienced their drivers will be. You could ask for special discounts as many limousine services offer special rates during a particular day or week.  After all, we all want to save some money if we could. Don’t we?

Enjoy Sydney sight-seeing for free !??


Sydney undoubtedly is one of the most beautiful cities in the world to travel. So, whether you are a new traveler or just a returning visitor, you will always find things to do in this “ever-green city”. With its breath-taking ocean views and dazzling nightlife, Sydney truly is an amazingly scenic world class city, which, of course, has a very rich history and vibrant culture to be proud of. However, visiting this city can be a bit tricky matter, specially if you are a new visitor, as the city is fairly big, and it has many, many beautiful attractions. But as far as I am concerned, I always try my best to get the best out of my visit by spending as little as possible (ya, ya..i know..i sound so cheap but hey why would I want to spend money if I can avoid it?), and one of the great things about sydney is that you can do many things here for free! Besides, time can also be a crucial factor for those who have enough money just not enough time to spend it.


So, let us first try to find out the “free” things that you can do in sydney, and they include visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens, strolling around The Rocks or perhaps visiting the famous Art Gallery of NSW. You could also walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge from The Rocks to Milsons Point featuring incredible views if you like to just walk in a beautiful summer day. Visiting Queen Victoria Building, enjoying the exhibition at Australian National Maritime Museum if you love art, doing BBQs & picnic at Bicentennial Park if you are a food lover, and laying on the sandy beach & surfing in the Bondi Beach if you just love water can be some of the other free things that you can consider enjoy doing when visiting Sydney.



By the way, if you are visiting Sydney for the first time, and if you enjoy roaming around in limousine, you could always talk to a local limo service after arriving at the airport, who will most certainly be able to help you organize your sydney “sight-seeing tour”. Most of the limo service providers in sydney are professional, and they will be more than happy to offer you an hourly rate for their limousine services, if you are on a tight schedule, in addition to offering you airport pickup and drop off services for you.

Choose your limo service wisely in Sydney



Life takes us to places.  Therefore, it is quite natural that we will expect a certain degree of comfort & convenience when we travel by cars. Strangely enough, most people don't realize how affordable and convenient it is to hire a limo car service instead of dealing with the hassles of public transportation, renting a car or relying on shuttle buses. In fact, with affordable point-to-point transfer rates and competitive hourly service rates, a limo service can be a much better option when it comes to exploring a big city like Sydney and traveling beyond.

However, it can be quite challenging to decide on the best limo service providers in Sydney, and the primary reason for this is there are hundreds of limousine service providers in Sydney.  Now, unless we are willing to spend tons of money, it would be virtually impossible to hire and try them all in order to compare their services, reliability and professionalism based on their prices. Of course, you can always Google-up the top 100 limo services in Sydney.  But your problem doesn’t solve there because you need just one good limo service provider that fits your “budget & criteria” instead of a hundred of them even though they all may be good.  Still, you can never be certain about your limo services? Can you?  So, what should you do, and what should you be looking for when hiring a limo company?  So, you should ask some serious questions when choosing a limo service provider:

1. Do you only care about clean-looking black limousine/Rolls Royace and nothing else?
2. Do you prefer a well-dressed driver in black suit and tie, or you are comfortable for your drivers to show up in plain jeans & sneakers?
3.  Do you mind the limo being more than 5 years old, and what should be the least numbers of years, according to you, for a limo firm to remain in the business to be picked up by you?
4. How you feel about your limo braking down just an hour before your pick-up time? Would that company have another car ready to pick you up just in time?
5. How okay are you with the fact that your driver is asking you for directions every 10 minutes?
6. What if your limo gets into an accident, and you found out that your limo company is not fully insure & protected by a reliable & certified commercial insurance?
7. Do they have websites and working land phone numbers where they can be reached?

If the answers to the questions, asked above, are negative, then you may be in for a ‘dangerous ride’ literally with you limo.

Professionalism and reliability are the keys to be successful for any service provider. So, when you are waiting for your airport pickup to catch a plane, I don’t think that anyone will be too comfortable sitting around and wondering why the limo driver hasn’t arrived yet.  Nor will you be very amused to learn that your “trusted” limo company will be 15 minutes late to pick you up when you are actually waiting to attend a very important corporate meeting to close a very lucrative business deal. In fact, any reliable & professional limo company knows that the driver should arrive at the designated location at least 15 minutes before the pick-up time. 

So, it will always be wise to do your homework before settling for your limo.  Just call them up and ask as many questions as you want. Conventional wisdom suggests that you always try a few companies, and if you find one that fits your “budget & requirements”, stick with it even if they ask 5-10 dollars more than their competitors.  Also, please do not assume that because one limo company charges $100 from Sydney airport to Downtown, and another one charges $125 or even more, the latter one is automatically better.  In fact, the chances are that they both offer the same quality of airport services, but once charges more because of its name & popularity. But why choose to pay extra when you do not really have to? Until next time, chao!
