Being huge vehicles that glide about town creating excitement and intrigue to all they pass, when it comes to gas-guzzling guilty vehicles, limousines rank high!

The 2012 London Olympics showcased many talents and none more so than a Rolls Royce limousine that runs on electric power with zero emissions, thus creating a wholly green alternative to the notoriously gas gobbling world of limos.

With the demand for greener vehicles that produce far less emissions than conventional cars becoming increasingly imperative, the hybrid car industry is constantly evolving and becoming progressively more advanced. Recognising the modern demand for hybrid cleaner vehicles, Rolls Royce CEO, Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes states that out of all large number of more eco-friendly cars currently saturating the market, the electric Rolls Royce limousine would be exposing:

“It’s outstanding electric and environmentally-friendly technology to the world”.

Talking to the Daily Mail, The Rolls Royce CEO said that not only would a pollutant-free hybrid Rolls Royce limo be marked progression in the automotive industry’s endeavours to save the planet, but would also help the business of limousines also survive.

With so much emphasis on adapting greener lifestyles and offsetting carbon emissions, particularly, it seems, within the world of the rich and famous, the green limo market is likely to gain greater presence and popularity, with Rolls Royce, in typical fashion, pioneering the drive.

If you are graduating this summer then it might be worth thinking of ways to make the occasion all the more special. There are a whole host of universities and colleges in the south of England that will be celebrating graduations with plush ceremonies in the next few weeks and if you are among those moving on to new things, you could mark the occasion by hiring a luxury car.

This is something you might want to put to the friends you are graduating alongside. People often think of luxury cars as being used exclusively as wedding cars, but this is not the case. The same sort of prestige can be brought to all sorts of occasions, including once in a lifetime days or evenings like graduation ceremonies.

If you are interested in executive, luxury or wedding cars Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset are all fantastic places to be because of the number of venues available in the south of England and because of the number of educational institutions celebrating the graduation of the latest set of people about to turn over to a new chapter in their lives.

Make the most of your graduation, because you are sure to look back on it fondly in years to come.

Goodwood Festival of Speed is held annually in the grounds of Goodwood House in Sussex. Around 100,000 people visit each day to see the famous hill climb as well as a host of eye-catching cars.

As well as motor racing vehicles, other notable cars are also displayed and this year visitors could expect to see the Queen’s Rolls Royce Phantom. The car in question is a Phantom IV, the most exclusive model ever built. Between 1950 and 1956, just 18 cars were made and all of them were built for royalty or heads of state.

The Queen opts to travel in an armoured Bentley these days, but the Phantom IV still gets used for some special occasions. Its last appearance was at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, when it transported the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.

The car’s appearance at Goodwood is part of the jubilee celebrations. It will feature at the Cartier Style et Luxe concours d’élégance (as will a number of other royal vehicles) and also in a special jubilee parade. A 1926 Rolls Royce used by the Duke of Edinburgh in India in 1965 will also feature.

Jason Minnicozzi, an attorney in Wilmington in the US, took the opportunity presented by New Year’s Eve to remind people how important it is to avoid driving when they have been drinking.

New Year is a time of celebration and many people will have been out at bars and nightclubs until the early hours. The best way of getting home afterwards is by hiring a limo. This doesn’t just mean that you get a luxury ride to finish your night. It also means that no-one is driving after having drunk.

As well as being irresponsible and dangerous, drink driving can also prove costly. Minnicozzi points out that it is actually cheaper to hire a limo every weekend than to be caught driving while intoxicated. As well as fines and the possibility that you might lose your driving licence, you are also likely to face court costs and lawyer fees.

Most of us will only hire a limo for special occasions of course. It is the perfect solution when you’re out celebrating. As well as there being no risk that your designated driver will be tempted to drink, you also get luxury travel.

New Year’s Eve is always a special event but every single year, you try to think of new ways to make it even better than the last. You’re constantly looking for that ‘wow factor’; but it becomes a struggle to think of new ways in which you can make this New Year’s Eve stand out from the rest.

There are many different options when it comes to celebrating this special night; but whether you are enjoying a special meal, or you are going for a night out on the tiles, there is one way that you can add that extra special feeling to this New Year.

If you hire a Range Rover chauffeur hire car, or perhaps a Rolls Royce phantom chauffeur car, for extra elegance, you can really arrive at your New Year event in style. This is the perfect way to mark such a special occasion and make it stand out.

In years to come, you will be able to look back on this New Year’s Eve with fond memories of a night when you felt extra special. So if you’re looking for a way of livening up your New Year, then luxury car hire could be the perfect choice.

You can’t beat a bit of Christmas magic and it comes in heaps at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland. This event, which runs until January 3rd is the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit.

Both kids and adults love this event and there is plenty to keep people of all ages entertained. With an ice rink, a circus, rides and of course the chance to see Father Christmas, this really is the most magical place to bring your family.

It’s a real treat to be able to visit Winter Wonderland; and to make it even more special, you could choose to hire a luxury car to travel to the event.

There are different cars to choose from and you could opt for a classic Rolls Royce Phantom chauffeur driven car or perhaps a Range Rover chauffeur hire car if you want that extra bit of space.

Arrive in style at Winter Wonderland and you will no doubt have the perfect Christmas celebrations with your family and your loved ones.

If your family deserves a treat this year, then get down to Winter Wonderland; but do it in style with a luxury chauffeur driven car.

We’re in the middle of the most magical time of year and plenty of people are looking for ways in which they can add a little more sparkle to it.

But with the Birmingham Royal Ballet putting on a performance of The Nutcracker at the O2 Arena, there really is no better way to treat the family. This charming performance, which is perfect for all the family, is also made even more special with the appearance of Joe McElderry.

But if you think you and your family are deserving of a special treat this Christmas, then there really is only one way to travel to the show, which is on from December 27th until December 30th. You have got to hire a luxury car. By doing this, you can make sure you get to and from the event in absolute luxury and relaxation.

You could opt for Bentley chauffeur driven cars or perhaps a Mercedes chauffeur hire car; there are plenty of options. But travelling to the performance in style really is the perfect way to treat your whole family this Christmas and add that little bit of extra sparkle to the season.

Most people can drive a car, but there is far more to being a chauffeur than that. It is for this reason that investment banker, Amin Merchant, has created the Institute of Chauffeur Services in Mumbai. They now offer a 10-session course on how to be a luxury car driver.

This isn’t really a driving course. It’s more about learning to act the right way with clients. Chauffeuring involves creating the right atmosphere and treating people properly so that they enjoy their experience. Drivers therefore work on self confidence, mannerisms, car maintenance and even personal hygiene. The six instructors have so far trained over 800 drivers since last year at centres in Mumbai and Ahmedabad in Gujarat. There are now plans to open more centres in Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Merchant said of the training programme:

“The luxury cars market in India has seen a rise. We have moved on from the Marutis and Fiats. Now Audis, BMWs and Mercs are quite commonplace.”

Hiring a car is about far more than simply being transported in the back seat of a smart car. It is about the whole experience. Bear this in mind when you’re planning your next special occasion.
