The Benefits of Booking a Car Service

Meet and Greet service by your driver at LAX in Los Angeles,

No matter if you are a jet-setting executive, a working professional, or a tourist visiting a busy, high-energy city like Los Angeles, there are ways to zip out of the LAX airport and start your day conducting business, get to the beach, switch into your touristic activities, and basically, do the things you came here to do. None of these should include the stress of standing in lines, to get a rent-a-car, or a shuttle that goes all around town before stopping at the address where you are staying. And navigating the city by yourself? Forget about it.Continue reading

Arrive Like a Rock Star to the Grammys 2016

When Los Angeles rolls out the red carpet to celebrate its biggest and brightest showbiz stars, it does it in a massive coordinated style. Here, in this city, we even have a name for it. It’s called the Awards Season.  Industry professionals, talent managers, agents, publicists, along with millions of fans catch what can only be described as a high-energy, celebratory fever. They all begin stressing over timing, placement, the where, the what, and who of these events.  Serious thought and attention is spent on featuring top celebrity nominees, performers and guests in the best light possible, from the red carpet to the gala, and in some cases, up the main stage to pick up the big prize.

The Grammys are one of the biggest events during this festive time in L.A. Think of it as the Oscars of the music industry. It is glamorous, highly anticipated, and prestigious. Heck, there is even a Grammy Museum in downtown, so the year round worship of music’s biggest names continues, and the chance to see the gold trophies an up close and personal experience.

Originally called Gramophone Award or Grammy, is an accolade by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) of the United States to recognize outstanding achievement in the music industry. Taking place on February 15th, this year, the glamorous affair positions itself in the middle of the Awards Season, where all the important trophy givin’ takes place all over the city of angels.

Yes, it’s an honor just to be nominated, so much so that during the 2015 ceremony, that Fairness Patrol of the award shows known as Kanye West rushed the stage, in defense of R&B diva Beyonce. Beck, the real winner, invited the attention-loving rap superstar back on stage, to perhaps allow him a chance to express his frustration.

Like most award shows the Grammys are no stranger to controversy. And every year fans and journalists add to the list of memorable Grammy moments. The 2012 Cowboy’s Farewell with Glen Campbell honored by Blake Shelton performing “Gentle on My Mind” and “Rhinestone Cowboy” with The Band Perry. Who can forget Pink’s aerial gymnastics as she belted out “Glitter in the Air,” or the legendary Tina Turner with Beyoncé, performing “Proud Mary?”

Speaking of legendary, here is our chance to spotlight a real winner in the transportation industry.  L.A. Private Car Service is truly the top pick for a fun and glamorous night around town. We too have made our name known to the entertainment industry. We have done so by providing quality service to all our valuable clients. Safely and efficiently, we will deal with the route and the traffic as you relax in our clean, comfy cars, and arrive to your VIP event on time.  Our courteous, knowledgeable chauffeurs know this city like the back their hands.  So, sit back, and enjoy the ride, and rest assured that you and your posse will arrive in style.  Inside as you party like a rock star and let loose with friends, you can count on a smooth ride back, and when you are ready to head home, or who knows, maybe to an after-party or two.

Spirit Awards: Zip to the Beach in Style!

When Hollywood looks to the future and the next wave of talent, they look outside the engine. Beyond every calculated campaign, a teaser trailer, official trailer, red band trailer, walk of fame ceremony, and social media buzz, the big wigs look outside its own realm in search of the next big thing. To recruit talent and present the next visionary who will go on to make bigger, commercial films, the industry looks to independent cinema and the personal, unique films made on smaller budget, with refreshing new perspectives.

The Spirit Awards, presented by Film Independent plays the role of encouraging and awarding such voices in non-mainstream films.   

In addition to being one hell of a party, held daytime at the beach, in Santa Monica, CA, this trophy-fest concentrates on honoring independent films exclusively.

Awards are presented for the year’s best achievements in films made outside the Hollywood machine, with statues given for Best Feature, Best First Feature, Best Feature Made for Under $500,000 (the John Cassavetes Award). Winners are presented with an alloy bird sitting on top of a pole wrapped in shoestrings representing the size of budgets of independent films.

Fresh faced talent share the blue carpet along with Hollywood A-listers who claim that their involvement in the film was merely for the art of cinema, and in most cases it was, as these are the films that draw such performers to meatier, career-defining roles, without the big Hollywood backing.

Industry insiders and film buffs love this event for spotlighting newcomers and, hopefully, for featuring famous faces who flex the muscles they were meant to flex, the ones having to do with acting. Hitting the gym to buff up for an upcoming role is not exactly honing your “craft.” Can we agree on that?

Indie rooted actress Brie Larson, actor Christopher Abbott, (both nominated this year) may become superstars of tomorrow. Today’s top draw Jennifer Lawrence, Ryan Gosling, Matthew McConaughey, Johnny Depp, got their start in independent films.

It’s a casual event, yes! But let’s call it Hollywood-casual. Translation: the price tag on a pair of flip flops, or cargo shorts at these events can set most of us common folks back a house mortgage or two.

Make no mistake, arriving in style is always in fashion, and in this town one needs to arrive. After all Jaguar is one of the official sponsors of the Spirit Awards 2016.

Knowing a thing or two about L.A. Awards Season, and the importance of industry events, L.A. Private Car Service is equipped and ready to whisk you in and out of these important events.

Beach traffic on weekends should not be your concern. Our expert staff will assign one of our reliable chauffeurs to navigate through best route to get you and your guests to your destination, safely and punctually.

Reserving early is highly recommended.

Get out there. Shine bright and celebrate the free spirit of creativity. And if you are a nominee, enjoy the accolades and keep up the good work.
