Subtle Limos For Hire

Fashions come and go; what is fashionable today my not be so tomorrow. Sometimes political events or economic situations can also change the norm. The prevalence of chauffeured stretch limousines is no longer an indicator of a booming economy; just keep an eye on the increasing number of ‘black cars’ and SUVs.

The standard limousine once revered for it size, power and luxury has somehow succumbed to the notion that it is too big and flashy for some. “People don't want to flaunt what they're doing,” said John Williams, the Skirvin's general manager. "They really want to downplay the experience of going from the airport to the hotel to business appointments.”

Jimmy Paris, owner of Paris Limousine, says that corporate customers are staying away from the big stretch limousines that were once seen as a symbol of corporate success. "Say you have an executive looking at a site for a new plant - they don't want to be seen in a limo - it's seen as gaudy and having a lot of cash,” Paris said. "They want to keep it low profile. When a limo drives up, everybody looks. But in a black car or SUV, it doesn't get that sort of notice.”

Local executives confirm that image is what has relegated limo rides to special occasion use by tourists, wedding parties and prom dates. As corporate spokesman at Devon Energy, Chip Minty, has accompanied executives on numerous trips across the country. "At Devon we tend to use less conspicuous transportation like SUVs or vans; we don't see the limos as a necessary or good use of resources,” he said. When the trip does involve a larger group travelling together, the company usually employs either an SUV or a van, Minty said.
