Sorry folks Perth is now a little crowded but our limousine is not quite so squeezy

With Perth population growing by 100,000 per year over the past few years it is no longer the sleepy dullsville of yesteryear. You can no longer turn up to your favorite restaurant without a reservation. I tried to book a Christmas lunch for my dad several months ago only to find they were nearly all booked out. The same applies to transport, many people ring us to find we are booked out 12 months in advance for peak days or think we just have limousines lying around waiting for them to ring that we can just print off like a fax. Others think limousines are like a Tardas which infinite interior room to take 13 or more , the truth is that for social jobs we only take 8, any more and you look like the 13 occupants of the smart car above. Plus we are an exclusive limousine company, meaning we select what type of clientele we will take and we restrict our limousines from undesirable venues like Ascot Races and areas like Northbridge after 10pm. We will not supply a "drunks milk run" simply because taxi's won't turn up.
If you are the type of person wishing to substitute us for a taxi then think again, we will be at least double to four times the price of that mode of transport. If on the other hand you are looking for a class service to celebrate a special occasion you are more than welcome to become one of our valued clients. We are expressly not a service for the inebriated that think we will transport them simply because they have paid and we have turned up on time. They will forfeit their fare and be left to wonder how a limo can disappear so fast. We will not risk our expensive limousine investment or ruin the next days work possibly a brides special wedding day for a few dollars from some irresponsible alcoholic. The public has only got itself to blame if taxi's would rather cue up for hours at an airport to get respectable passengers, than to risk abuse and violence from drunks from restaurants, hotels and the suburbs. My partners sister arrives back in Perth just after midnight every new years eve from Brisbane and has never had trouble getting a taxi, as they explained to her "they take one look at the party goers and head to the airport'. Now you might say not every one is like that but because no one really pulls them up on it like the drunk and disorderly laws we previously had,then everyone suffers the consequences.
