I thought it would be interesting to show you the building process of a limo bus. Most companies buy old shuttle buses, tear the inside apart and custom make it. This is the process of building a brand new party bus done right, by professionals. More pictures to come as the vehicle progresses. 

Look no further than Limotainment for your Chicago corporate transportation needs.  If you want to impress potential clients, create a team building experience or provide transport to and from a conference, Limotainment will meet and exceed all of your needs. Give us your vision and Limotainment will assist in putting together your event! Here's a few of corporate events  we've helped put together recently:

- Completely customized tailgates hosted by a private chef that will work with you on all menu items. Tailgates include lawn games, catering set up, music, clean up, drinks and more. You visualize it, we'll make it happen!
- Variety of scenic tours around the city of Chicago.
- Haunted tour around Chicago, we took the client to a haunted restaurant, followed by booking a professional tour guide around the city of "haunted areas."
- Food & brewery tours around the city
- Team building exercises including a variety of events.

If you have a company event coming up, Limotainment is excited to work with you! We'll even offer a first time discount to any new corporate clients to show what we can do.

          Wedding season is almost here! It's time to lay out a few quick tips that will ensure your high end transportation is a success. We're going to go over four tips that will help avoid the duds in the limo bus industry and connect you with the perfect vehicle(s) for your needs. 

(1) Make sure you are getting a vehicle that is big enough for your group. If you've ever been in a 10 passenger limo you know that only 8 adults fit comfortably in there. The majority of companies will do anything to book your business, including lying about the size of their vehicles. As a rule of thumb, subtract 5-6 from whatever the company says the vehicle fits. Limotainment's Large White Limo bus is known as a 32 passenger throughout the limo industry but we'd never recommend over 27 passengers for a wedding without telling the client it will be tight. 

(2) Make sure you listen to recommendations and reviews. There are plenty of review websites out there but most are not useful. Your best source is asking friends and family who have had great personal experiences with companies. The next best source of referrals is Yelp (the majority of Google reviews are fake and made by website owners to show up higher on Google search engines). When looking at Yelp be sure to look through the filtered reviews of the company (scroll to the bottom of the reviews and click on "other reviews that are not currently recommended"). There are companies out there that pay Yelp to remove their terrible reviews. If you have any concerns about something you read about the company, ask the owner or person on the phone about it.

(3) Watch out for farm out companies! The main reason for the wedding horror stories you've heard is due to farm outs. A farm out company has a website and sells services of vehicles they do not own. They may own 2 vehicles and advertise they own 20. Farm out companies will book your business and sell them to other companies for a cut of the sale. You can see how this could lead to problems, you will have no idea who you're working with because you booked with a middleman. The vehicle probably won't be what you saw in the pictures, the limo bus might be an old run down piece of garbage, the company might have terrible drivers & customer service, they might not show up on time or the vehicle could be too small.  Worse case scenario, the company they sell the job to books another last second job for more money and they all of a sudden have a "break down" and never show up. This happens all the time.

(4) Ask the question to avoid the farm out companies. The way you avoid the craps shoot of a random company on your wedding day is to say: "What's the address of your lot? I have a completely open schedule and would like to see your vehicles in person." If you ask to see the vehicles in person they are not going to lie to you about where they are if they have them. If they are farming it out and give you an address to go to you can at least meet the company you're actually booking with to alleviate some concerns. 

Hopefully this helps in all of your searches, good luck with your wedding planning!

Limotainment is now paired up with Wedding and Party Network promoting the best party bus service you can get in Chicago! We are proud to say Limotainment has maintained its ranking as the highest rated limo bus company in Chicago since its inauguration. 

It's easy to get paired up  with one of the many shady and illegally run operations in Chicago who's first priority is to sell you their services by any means necessary: Lying, farming out, double booking your event, exaggerating about the size of the vehicle, using vehicles you never asked for, lying about equipment malfunctions and the list goes on.

We've differentiated ourselves from the competition by being reliable, offering add ons to our wedding packages, keeping in constant contact with our customers throughout the process while walking them through guidelines to make the day most enjoyable for everyone.

Summer is almost upon us, along with a ton of great concerts! For a large group, a limo bus is by far the best option to take your party to and from the concert in style!

Chicagoland music venues are are difficult to get to and the headaches you'll go through begin pre-concert: figuring out logistics to get too and from an event, choosing a designated driver, having to stick to strict schedules, getting taxis, finding friends at the concert, parking  and the list goes on...

Why not book a limo bus with Limotainment and have them handle all of the logistics for you? Your party will get top of the line treatment to and from the show! You shouldn't need to struggle to find your friends in the crowds once you get to the concert. You SHOULD already be partying together on the way to the venue in a vehicle complete with wrap around leather seating, a booming sound system and entrancing light shows. hailing a taxi in a mob of thousands of people is a nightmare, trains are inconvenient and parking is a mess. Avoid the potential DUI and go wild, better safe than sorry!

Whether you are headed to the First Midwest Bank Amphitheater to see Kid Rock, the Allstate Arena to jam with Fleetwood Mac, Ravinia to listen to the Goo Goo Dolls or the United Center for the Roliling Stones last hurrah, give Limotainment a ring at (312) 546-4494. Ask about our Chicago concert transportation packages that will ensure a safe and memorable night.
