Dallas Limo, Dallas Limos > Sometimes You’ve Just Got to Spoil Yourself

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 19, 2009 – If you live in Dallas or happen to be visiting the Dallas area, please make a point of checking out the Dallas Limousine Service.  While recently in Dallas visiting with some relatives, my wife and I decided to have a night out on the town.  We were going to rent a car but decided to rent a limo instead.  I mean, how often do you get to spoil yourself, right?  After checking out a few companies, we lucked up on Dallas Limousine Service.  I say lucked up on Dallas Limos because we have used other Limo services and were not impressed. Even though we were a last minute reservation, the Dallas Limousine Company offered a commitment to excellence that few companies can even remotely match. Please visit us at http://www.AngelLimos.net or email us at sales@angellimos.net or call us at 214-524-9700.
The staff at Dallas Limousine was courteous and the prices were unbeatable.  Additionally, Dallas Limousine Service met all our safety and security expectations.  The experience was both fun and stress-free.  From the first moment we walked in the door, Dallas Limos made the entire rental process seem like no big deal and that relaxed atmosphere took a lot of the pressure off of our shoulders.  Believe me, it’s not fun to stand there waving your hands around, desperately hoping that you make some kind of sense.  
After a brief presentation by a Dallas Limousine representative, we learned that a Dallas Limos can be used for nearly any occasion, from business to luncheons and elegant dinners/formal celebrations to simple nights with friends and loved ones, which just so happened to be the purpose of my trip.  The presentation was very informative yet lacked the stuffy, one-dimensional service that I have received from Dallas Limo providers of the past.  Surprisingly, Dallas Limousine had Limos of all shape and sizes and was able to accommodate our needs even though we weren’t really sure of what we wanted. Please visit us at http://www.AngelLimos.net  email us at sales@angellimos.net or call us at 214-524-9700.
We decided to take Dallas Limousine Service to the Airport for our return flight home.  What can I say?  The Dallas Airport Limos are top notch as well.  I feel completely justified in saying that I received the best service imaginable, at a reasonable price.  I was so impressed with Dallas Limos that I encouraged my cousin, who is getting married in a few months, to use Dallas Limousine Service.  They offer Wedding Limos for those special days when only the best will do.  Please, trust your business with Dallas Limousine Service and let them show you what truly relaxed travel means.  Please email us at sales@angellimos.net or call us at 214-524-9700.

Port Canaveral Cruise Folks Get Scoop On Cape Canaveral Hotels, Transportation

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 13, 2009 – Most people who book a cruise from Port Canaveral book the cruise first then go through the hassle of finding out where Port Canaveral is, how to get there, what airport to use, find hotels near Port Canaveral and how to get from the airport to the hotel and then back to the airport after the cruise. Once they find out the port is in Cape Canaveral, Florida and the airport is in Orlando, some of them are shocked when they learn distance from Orlando to Port Canaveral.  Now there’s help for cruisers with inside tips about Cape Canaveral hotels and transportation from a former hotel and travel professional who knows Port Canaveral.  Calling herself the Port Canaveral Hotels Insider, she has launched a website by the same name providing a collection of free advice and mistakes to avoid that travelers typically make when booking hotels and transportation to Port Canaveral.  The website only lists hotels near Port Canaveral and helps you avoid the false advertisers on travel booking sites that list themselves as Port Canaveral hotels but could be as much as thirty miles away.
The Insider uniquely categorizes hotels near Port Canaveral (http://www.portcanaveralhotelsinsider.com/hotels-near-po ...) by each type of traveler’s different requirements.  Because the Insider has worked with literally thousands of cruise passengers out of Port Canaveral, she knows the hotels and transportation services that best fit each type of traveler’s specific needs and tailors the pages to be user friendly in finding the right type of hotel and transportation services (http://www.portcanaveralhotelsinsider.com/port-canaveral ...).  The hotel types are defined more by the mode of transportation guests will be using to arrive, which can often determine the type of hotel they are looking for.  This makes it easy for visitors to the website to quickly and thoroughly determine whether a hotel fits their needs.  For example, lots of folks decide to drive their own car to Port Canaveral and would like to leave the car at the hotel while on the cruise. This is mainly to avoid the $15 per day fees Port Canaveral parking.  So, the site provides a specific page listing all the Park and Cruise hotels near Port Canaveral and the types of parking packages each hotel offers.
The rest of the guests are flying in to take their cruise and they need to figure out transportation from Orlando to Port Canaveral.  This is where the Insider points out mistakes to avoid that can be quite costly. Those looking at car rental for Port Canaveral Florida are advised that there are only five rental car companies with drop off service in Port Canaveral.  Surprisingly, some people find themselves in the situation where they found the cheapest car rental rate at Orlando Airport and then have no place to drop off the car in Port Canaveral when they go on the cruise and end up paying the car rental during the entire cruise and parking fees too.
Some people have a lot of luggage and kids, so they may determine that a Port Canaveral cruise shuttle service is their best way to get back and forth from the airport. There’s a page for shuttle service from Orlando FL to Port Canaveral with good advice about the do’s and don’t when using airport shuttles.  There are many good points the Insider makes that people who are considering a Port Canaveral cruise shuttle service need to think about like the fact that shuttles only run at certain times, there are other passengers to ride with and wait for, and like a bus, shuttles will probably make a few stops before arriving at your hotel.  
If you don’t like the idea of waiting and stopping, the Insider points out that a Port Canaveral limousine is a surprisingly affordable alternative to airport shuttles.  With a Port Canaveral limousine, you have private service, you get picked up on time and you’re taken directly to your hotel at a price that is very competitive with shuttle service and much less than cab fare from Orlando to Port Canaveral.

A New Green Alternative - Electric Bicycles & Scooters

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 13, 2009 – With rising energy prices and increasing awareness of global warming and it's impact on our environment, consumers are looking for cheaper, greener forms of transportation. Unfortunately, their choices are limited to a handful of pricey hybrids that are far too expensive, or electric cars that are incapable of meeting their daily transportation needs. With affordable and efficient vehicle technology years away, consumers are considering a new option for short trips and commutes: electric bicycles and scooters.
Last year, over 21 million electric bikes were sold in China alone. Although the Western World is still far behind, a new trend is emerging in Europe and the U.S. as consumers look for more affordable, greener ways to get around town. With ranges of 10 to 40 miles per charge (depending on the bicycle model and technology), electric bikes and scooters provide consumers with an excellent eco-friendly alternative that can help them save on fuel costs without emitting harmful CO2 emissions.
At just pennies per charge, the savings can be substantial by riding just a couple miles per day. And considering most people live less than 20 miles from their workplace, an electric bike is a great solution for reducing transportation costs. Not to mention they make no sound, release no smelly exhaust and are a breeze for almost anyone to operate. Pedal just like a normal bike, use power to assist or run on 100% electric power and don't pedal at all. Entry level bikes cost just $599, while upper-end models run $2000+ with top of the line Li-Ion batteries.
Electric bikes and scooters are great for people of all ages. They're perfect for college campuses, getting around the city or going to-and-from work. Plus, there's no need to worry about being sweaty or exhausted when you arrive at your destination. Baby-boomers have been especially fond of these new products which allow them to get outside and be active again.
With a vast range of products and price points, there's an electric bike or scooter designed to meet almost everyone's needs. Not only are there a wide variety of electric bicycles, but you can even convert your standard bike with an electric bike kit.

Brexis Courier Goes Green

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 11, 2009 – Brexis Courier has recently made great strides in their effort to become environmentally friendly. Since March, the company has followed green practices at their work site in order to save money, conserve resources and serve as an example for other courier  companies. Their goal is to create a competitive advantage in the industry because of their green procedures and thus motivate other courier companies to do the same.
Recycling packing materials is the core of the company’s green routine and has shown significant benefits in a short amount of time. Brexis Courier has saved money by reusing boxes, bubble wrap, foam and other packing materials used for shipping products from their warehouse. “We receive on average sixty packages a day and the high volume of cardboard boxes, plastic padding, and foam was piling up in the warehouse. It was an obvious solution for us to reuse the materials not only to save money, but to clear space in the warehouse for other freight,” says Molly Durr, Director of Marketing at Brexis Courier. In addition to reusing packing materials, the company cuts costs and saves energy by leaving windows open instead of turning on the air conditioning and using energy efficient light bulbs.    
Part of Brexis Courier’s green agenda is to motivate their employees to change their habits and start thinking about the importance of recycling. One way the company executes this goal is by making recycling easy and accessible for their staff. They purchased two large recycling bins for the warehouse where most of the foot traffic and package handling takes place. The employees can easily discard of the high volume of paper they go through without having to move to a different work station. Brexis Courier continuously looks for new ways to recycle and reuse materials. They recently donated ten PCs to a local organization that will restore the computers and give them to people that can’t afford one.

The AA and Postcode Anywhere Launch Fuel-Reducing Route Optimiser

PRLog (Press Release) – Aug 10, 2009 – The AA and business efficiency specialist Postcode Anywhere today unveiled a smart route optimiser for hauliers and couriers which cuts fuel, labour costs and even carbon emissions by up to 30%.
The online service, called Route Optimiser, uses sophisticated maths to plan the shortest routes for single vehicles or whole fleets. It even uses the AA’s road restriction data to plot routes according to a vehicle’s height, weight and width – and should help delivery firms put an end to familiar “lorry stuck under bridge” headlines.
The part-licence, part pay-as-you-go service is available from £80 per year for single-vehicle couriers, with other options available for fleets. More information and a free trial of Route Optimiser is available through www.routeoptimiser.com.
Postcode Anywhere’s managing director Guy Mucklow said: “This software has, up until now, only been affordable for big-budget businesses with a spare £50,000. With Route Optimiser, small couriers with only one van doing 20 to 30 drops daily can start using it today through their web browser, at a fraction of the cost. No technical expertise or investment is needed and set-up takes only a few clicks.
“I challenge any road haulier or courier to try the software and see the kind of money they’re throwing away during every single trip they make without it. Anyone can trial the service for free and I’m confident that if someone puts in a route they already use it won’t beat Route Optimiser.
“We hope adoption of this service will give small and medium-sized businesses some protection against the credit crunch and the fluctuating price of petrol.”
Route Optimiser’s lead developer Richard Geary said: “Route Optimiser is the Deep Blue of the route planning world. Just like the chess machine that beat grandmaster Garry Kasparov, Route Optimiser churns through thousands of possibilities every second before arriving at the final solution – and humans can’t beat it.
“The green issues are also very powerful. If every UK haulage or courier firm started using this technology we’d see a noticeable drop in carbon emissions - millions and millions of tons of CO2. The government’s proposed carbon credit scheme - when businesses will, effectively, be taxed on CO2 emissions – makes it even more sensible to route-optimise.”
