Vancouver Limousine Stories

So it’s June, that means wedding and graduation season. Well…mostly grads. This year, Red Bull dropped off, like, a million boxes of Red Bull for all our graduation jobs! Every graduate got this special graduation package. There were two Red Bulls and a graduation certificate in a neat silver cannister. I think it’s a great thing they’re doing… helping them promote Red Bull and helping us. Win-win situation!

Oh by the way, I took some photos of the lovely 2010 graduates! Congrats to you all. Take a look at these pics and feel free to comment =)

The weather today is amazing… amazingly hot. Don’t get me wrong, I love the nice weather, but I hate working on hot days. Why? Because, as a limo driver, it is required that you dress in a suit. Yup, a full long and black suit. On a day like today, where the temperature is above 30 degrees, I am sweating like a pig.

So, in the morning, I took a very long and cold shower. Then, I packed 3 frozen water bottles (Pure Life) with me. I had freezed them over night, knowing that I would need them in the morning.

I was finishing up my last transfer of the day. All I had to do know was to return the keys and paperworks to my boss and I could finally go home and rest for the day. Not to mention drink a gallon of Ice Tea. I was thirsty, sweaty, and tired. When I went in the office, the boss looked at me and gasped “Man, are you sweaty! You are allowed to use the air conditioner you know? I’m not that cheap!”

And then it hit me! Throughout my whole job driving career, turning on the air conditioner have never occured to me. If I had realized this earlier, driving in the hot weather wouldn’t have been to bad.

Needless to say, on the way back home, I had the air conditioner turned on full blast. Driving had never felt better.

Even though I love hockey, I hate the fact that it is slowing down the phone calls at work. For the past week, my job at Vancouver Limousine had been pretty quiet. Not that I am complaining about the quiet and calm moments, but my hours are being cut down a bit. 

Everyone is focused on the games. So, when the hockey matches are on TV, the phones are completely dead. People! Start calling Classic Limousine and help me out!

Let’s have a deal, if the Canucks win tonight against the Black Hawks, you guys have to pick up the phone and call 604-874-4880 and celebrate the first winning match by renting a limo and cruising around Downtown! 

For anyone who is renting the 16-passenger SUV limousine, you guys are in for a surprise. This vehicle is equipped with a disco light system and fog machine.

When the 2 weeks the 2010 Olympics were held in Vancouver, it was considered the best freaking time of our lives! I remember I worked every single day at the office of Vancouver Limousine. I dealt with tons and tons of clients over the phone and e-mail, sent tons of confirmation forms and invoices, dealt with drivers, did paperwork, cleaned vehicles, and basically just ran around all over the office… barely sitting. Well after a long day at work, basically a 9-5 job, I would call up my friends and vice versa and we would take the skytrain to Granville and Burrard and we would walk around the streets at night, take tons of photos, view the city, try to get on CTV, take a look at the pavillions, look at all the Olympic destinations (cauldron, the Olympic store, Ozone…), high 5 hundreds of strangers in one night…

Basically, I had the time of my life. Downtown Vancouver was so alive! For once… ’cause usually at nighttime, there aren’t that many people. It was weird seeing so many people and being in a huge crowd… especially that night Team Canada won the gold medal hockey game! After the game it was insane in Downtown. Everybody was screaming and yelling… cheering and chanting… hugging and giving high fives! It was sooo much fun. I really enjoyed it… but a week later, when I returned, it was kind of dead

Anyways, after the 2 weeks, I had to return to college this week and everybody was really depressed! We call it the “Post 2010 Olympic depression” and I totally felt it man. I was sooo unhappy I have to study 24/7 now, it’s tiring, tedious, and NOT fun. I’d rather work all day and party all night, now THAT’S life ;) After this super looooooooooong week at school, I got back to work at the office yesterday and people were starting to call for graduations already! Yup, it’s that time of the year again — GRADUATION SEASON! woooo. So guys, call me and I’ll hook you up with a couple of limousines for your grad night!

Hey guys, team Canada is playing hockey again tonight!

A few nights ago, when Canada won the preliminary game against Norway, people all over downtown went insane! There were cars honking and beeping screaming “Go Canada Go” the whole night, people giving each other high fives, and I even saw people wearing the Canada flag over their shoulders…kinda like a cape?

Now on the news, they say there is a huuuge demand for Team Canada hockey jerseys, yay! Take a look yourself: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2010/02/18/calgary-canada-olympic-hockey-sweater-jersey-demand.html

This definitely makes me proud to be Canadian :). Anyways, besides seeing all these proud Canadians, I drove around downtown in my Vancouver SUV limousine and I made $600 just for a few transfers! Wow!! I bet it was because of Canada’s victory over Norway – 8 to 0!!!

Oh my god! Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at these absolutely stunning limos.

A barbie pink limo! Ladies would go crazy over this if we had it at Vancouver Limousine, eh? I don’t know about you but to me, the inside of this vehicle looks delicious

Take a look at this:

At first, I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but nope. It’s a stretch mini cooper with a swimming pool at the back. Kind of hilarious dontcha think? Now why doesn’t Vancouver have limos with pools at the back?

When I retire.. I want to get myself a limo which one do you guys recommend?

Hey everyone, I’m back again! I’ve been taking a break from the computer for the past few weeks, but now that school and work have started again, I’m sitting in front of it all day again. My Christmas and boxing day shopping were awesome! On Christmas eve, I went to work at Vancouver Limousine in the morning and then took the bus to Superstore and bought garlic bread and pie, then went over to a relative’s house for a family gathering. The food was unbelievable! The loaf of bread i brought? Well, there were 5 other ones also, so I ended up taking mine home. We had tons and tons of food! Salads, fried rice, noodles, bread and pastries, two huge turkeys, seafood, ham, chicken wings, sandwiches, etc. We even had all sorts of drinks like your normal Pepsi to peach wine! The bottom line is that no one was starving. After dinner, we had a secret santa gift exchange. Everyone had to bring a gift under $10 and we had to choose a number. My haul wasn’t bad, I got a new set of dishes for my kitchen. After that, we had some dessert and started singing karaoke! My relatives sang until 3 AM and I was really tired by then. I got home at around 4 in the morning and set 5 alarm clocks so I can go boxing day shopping!

In the end, I woke up at 11 AM and went to Metrotown by noon. When I got there, my heart totally sank! It was like a sea of people. I felt dizzy in half an hour so I left and went to Pacific Centre and Robson Street instead. I shopped at American Apparel, Aritzia, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s, TNA, Lululemon, Armani Exchange, Banana Republic, Hollister, American Eagle, Holt Renfrew, Le Chateau, Coach, H&M, Below the Belt, and some shoe stores such as Aldo. Ate a late lunch at Milestones on Robson. When I shopped til I dropped, I went back to Metrotown in the evening and bought a few things at Forever 21, Garage, Mariposa, Zara, and Urban Behaviour.

Yes, I admit, I AM a shopaholic! Now I gotta work more to pay off my credit card bills! Hope the Vancouver 2010 Olympics help keep me busy

Boxing day at Metrotown - This is worse than Black Friday in the US!

Usually people would say “I cant wait till Christmas!” but not me. I say “I cant wait untill BOXING DAY!” Not that i dont like Christmas, but the gifts that you receive on Xmas day are all surprises that you have to accept even though you dont like them and they are just going to take up room and collect dusk. While on Boxing day, you shop for yourself. And who knows you best except yourself right! All the things that you buy on boxing day are going to be 100 percent favourites and 0 percent dissappointment. =)

I hope i made other people excited for boxing day too (but not too many or else metrotown mall is going to be packed)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I sure hope that this year we’ll have a white Christmas in Vancouver! I have a strange craving for Starbucks! Maybe I’ll get a cup of white chocolate mocha tomorrow during my break at Vancouver Limousine.

I’ll admit it… I am a workaholic.

Did you know that choosing a Vancouver limousine company is not that easy? Planning and precise decision making are important if you want to achieve the greatest service possible!

Here are some of my suggestions for you guys after years and years of experience! I learned all this stuff the hard way.

The first tip is to compare rates. NOT neccessarily the most inexpensive rates. Now, there are really loads of competitive prices for Vancouver limousine services, but you gotat understand how the limousine companies come up with costs. Knowing the details in terms of the limousine rates would be important.

True story #1: I had a lady call me to ask for a quote on a limousine from the airport to Vancouver at the end of May 2009, which was also during grad and wedding season. I remember it was around a hundred bucks or so (well… she had 10 people so it’s be 10 bucks a person or a bit more) and she spoke to me very rudely and said “Yeah? Well I found a company who’ll do it for $50.00!” and she hung up on me abruptly I got a call on May 30th and she asked me if she could get a limo to pick her up at the airport right away… well sorry, every single limo was booked that day for grads, weddings, clubbing events, birthday parties, tours… you name it!

What I suspect: The limo driver didn’t show up… they got a last minute booking elsewhere for more money. This is what most limo drivers do, but not where I work for! Vancouver Classic Limousine 100% reliable and we are NEVER late. & We ALWAYS show up
