Alternate Holiday Party – New York Limousine Holiday Light Tour

Are you looking for an alternative to your typical holiday party? This year, instead of the usual buffet and standing around the living room, why not book a New York limousine rental for a holiday light tour? It’s a great way to get yourself and your guests into a festive holiday mood. If you’ve never considered a New York limo holiday light tour, these tips can help you work out the details and find the perfect New York luxury car service for the job.

Check around to find a limousine service that offers holiday light tours. Some NY limo companies put together their own routes and holiday light tour packages. They may include snacks and beverages as part of the price, or you may have to provide your own. It’s an easy way to enjoy a holiday lights tour without putting in much work up front, though you’re confined to the tours offered by the limo company.

If you prefer the DIY approach, you can work out your own route and tour and book a limousine and driver for the evening. Call around to find a limo company that offers reasonable rates by the hour or mile and talk to them about your plan. Make sure the book the limo a few weeks in advance of your planned evening – New York limousine companies are notoriously overbooked for the holidays because of the many festive events and parties during the season.

Decide how many people you plan to invite to share the evening. Most NY limo companies provide luxury cars and limousines for any size party, including stretch limousines, luxury SUVs and party buses, so size is no object, just make sure you book a vehicle that’s big enough for your party.

Make arrangements with the limousine service to play Christmas music throughout the night. Most limo services have vehicles with great sound systems, and will allow you to provide your own music. Depending on the service, they may even have party limos with full video setup. Get everyone in a festive mood with sing-along Christmas tunes along the way.

Discuss the possibility of refreshments with the limo service when you’re making the booking. Many New York limousine companies can hook you up with catered snacks and beverages for your ride.

A holiday lights tour in a New York limousine allows you to enjoy a novel holiday evening with your friends while letting the driver worry about the traffic and the logistics.

Let a New York Limo Service Facilitate Your Holidays

As we head into the holiday season, it’s time to start considering the special occasions and events in the upcoming weeks. If your holiday plans include a trip into the city or a trip out of town – or for that matter, holiday guests arriving from out of town – now is the time to call a New York limo service to book your car for the event. If you’ve never considered how much easier hiring a car from a New York limo service can make your holiday travel, consider these tips and ideas from a busy personal planner.

NY Limo Airport Pickups Start A Holiday Visit with Flair

While you may be looking forward to spending time with out of town guests arriving for holiday weekends, no one looks forward to fighting traffic and finding parking for airport pickups. Why stress yourself out when you can hire a New York limo to do the driving for you. Whether you ride along or arrange for a car and driver to do the pickup, you’ll be making an indelible first impression on your guests and saving yourself the headache of New York holiday traffic.

Book a Luxury Car Service for an Afternoon at the Ballet

Many people treasure the memory of watching the New York City Ballet dance Balanchine’s “The Nutcracker” for the very first time. Add even more magic to that memory for your very special girl or boy by booking an NY limo or luxury car and driver for the afternoon. Turn it into an entire afternoon of very grown-up luxury by arranging to have hors d’oeuvres and soft drinks for the ride. Make the afternoon more affordable by teaming up with friends and making it a special outing for best friends and their parents.

Take the Hassle Out of Holiday Shopping

Shopping in a limo? Why not? Plan an afternoon of Fifth Avenue shopping – and lunch, of course – with friends and split the cost of a limousine and driver to take the hassle out of the trip. Arrange to have the driver standing by for the afternoon so you can stash your loot in the limo while you continue your shopping or enjoy afternoon tea at The St. Regis. It’s a luxurious way to start off your holidays that could easily become a new holiday tradition.

Don’t reserve the star treatment for once-in-a-lifetime occasions. Enjoy the convenience and luxury of a New York limo to add a little magic to your holiday events.
