Tim McGraw Concert Limo

Country fans rejoice! On Sunday, May 18th, Tim McGraw will be performing at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine. The concert is a stop on his Sundown Heaven Town Tour with Kip Moore and Cassadee Pope.  Tickets are still for sale from Live Nation, and the show is also included in the Country Mega-Ticket package for Verizon Amphitheater and San Manuel Amphitheater.

Verizon Amphitheater (formerly known as Irvine Meadows) is a great venue, but the parking situation is runner up for the worst in Southern California, in my opinion (the “winner” there is the Hollywood Bowl’s stacked parking lots, just by a nose). The lot is vast and expansive, making it easy to forget where you’ve parked, and the singular entrance/exit means that you’ll be waiting for ages to get in and out (I think my record was 45 minutes to leave one night, and we left the amphitheater before the show had even ended!).  The parking attendants do their best, but with the massive amount of cars all trying to leave at the same time through the same exit, the situation is always a nightmare.

A great way to enjoy the concert and escape the hectic parking situation is to book chauffeured transportation. Booking a town car, limo, Sprinter, or party bus to transport you and your friends to and from the concert allows you to be picked up and dropped off at the designated area in front of the main gate, so you don’t have to sit in frustration in your car for thirty plus minutes before and after the show.

And here’s another benefit to booking transportation: when you book a limousine, Sprinter, or party bus from Roman Worldwide Transportation, we stock it with complimentary domestic beer, sodas, and water (as well as glassware if you’d like to bring your own beverages), so you can make the transportation a tailgate party. This is extra convenient, because Verizon Amphitheater’s security team is pretty strict about their no-alcohol-in-the-parking-lot policy, and the beer prices inside the venue are grossly inflated.

So, skip the hassle and headache that is parking and boost the level of fun and excitement by booking with Roman Worldwide Transportation for the Tim McGraw concert! You’ll thank me later, when you see the endless line of cars waiting to exit while you’re entering your limo and leaving it all behind.

Sprinter Limo

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Limo

2014 is the best year yet for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van in the chauffeured transportation industry. The vehicle has seen incredible sales over the last year as it continues its reign as the next big thing in transportation.

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a tall-ceilinged van whose niche in the world of chauffeured transportation falls between stretch limousines and party buses. In transportation, their interiors come in all different varieties; from luxurious limo to high-class shuttle. Our own fleet of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter limo here at Roman Worldwide features fiber optic lighting, double J-style limousine seating, quilted leather seating, two flat screen televisions with CD/DVD player, surround sound, iPod hook-ups, and a mini-bar. It’s been one of our more popular vehicles, both because of its high-tech amenities, and because it bridges the gap for people who are looking for more space than a stretch limo, but less space than a vast party bus at half the size. Its six and a half feet of head space also provides enough room to stand and stretch, as well as enter and exit the vehicle without scooting or bending. It’s a vehicle of comfort and luxury, and it’s no wonder our customers enjoy it so much!

And, apparently, so does the rest of America. The US is currently the second largest market for Sprinter vans, behind Germany, and other motor companies are taking notice. At the LCT show (the big trade show for the limousine industry) in Las Vegas last month, both Chrysler and Ford debuted competing vehicles (the Ram Promaster and Transit Van, respectively), while more varieties of Sprinter limos were shown on the floor than ever before.

Despite the new surge of competition, Mercedes continues to outsell other large van manufacturers. Over the last few years, Sprinters have well outstripped the overall market for vans. While the market has increased 35% since 2009, the Sprinter’s sales have leaped an incredible 155%. Last year, over 163,000 Sprinters were sold worldwide, with 22,000 being in the US. The Sprinter’s numbers reflect Mercedes-Benz’s 130 year reputation for building top quality, precision vehicles that ooze luxury and style.
