Limousine vehicles ( Pte Limo )

The high roof is ok to drive but honestly, I prefer the Merc Vito.
Also driving the high roof, you must have a lot of muscle....
Imagine, you got 9 pax arrival, each pax got one big and one small luggage, you do the calculations, means you have 18 bags to load, first 2 or 3 trips for the day is ok, imagine yo Suay kena 6 trips also like that one. You think you can tahan? Especially of a certain race, you know, I know, dun need to say out here, their bags inside is not clothes, it's stones! Then you will cry.
Do arrival with high roof takes a least 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs, so actually, it's very bowah cause you have 9 pax, all 9 pax have to wait to collect their luggage, s you think what time they will come out.
My method is very simple, before their flight touch down, I will standby at siglap road, use the iPhone changi app, once flight touch down, I will wait another 10 mins before I drive to the airport s. do not need to incur hefty coach bay charges! Any of you got other good ideas to share?
-
I normally parked (and wait) along Changi North Crescent...
(along side this building)..
... turning into PIE towards Airport Boulevard also nearer...
If you have to meet and greet @ Arrival hall, you still have to go into coach bay...
But Vito/Viano can go into Airport Carpark right ? Cheaper than parking at Coach Bay... I normally do that for T1 & T3. As for T2, I normally parked at Coach Bay.
-
Bro, if T2 depend which belt, if belt 31 to 34, I park at the car park on the left hand side... If belt 35 to 38, good to pak coach bay...
I hope for the day that we can charge 2hr disposal for arrival job, cause combi arrival
is very shiong, have to wait longer cause got more pax.

I have never associated the toyota brand with luxury. So the Alphard and Hiroof was never my cup of tea.
There are people who shared my viewpoint. Sam seah you missed out the only owner of partybus in Singapore. He got a black and a white 20-seater mercedes sprinter parked in garlic ave.
If I want hiroof, i rather pay for a mercedes Sprinter or a Citaro (haha... I love the new SBS buses !!)
Otherwise a white 9-seater Viano is ideal. Sorry I prefer white for my transportation. And perhaps a private plate because I get the occasional malaysia calls which i sometimes have to pass to combi guys.
Talk is cheap lah. With the current high COE, I will stick with a maxi for now.
-
Me usually queue limo while waiting to do arrival......free parking for us...... If queue until my turn, will throw arrival out...... Meet and greet I usually avoid, kana T3 or T1 must pay carpark..... Only drive way pick up, client beh song, go look for other limo cab......most of the pax understand one..... My corporate account got standard procedure one, that one cannot reveal......hehehe

Mercedes Sprinter ...?
which Pte Limo driving one ?
Heard the car (bus) full of computerised equipment...... surely need to go back to C&C.
So far, only the govt sector acquired these vehicles... like the SPF.
-
and also SCDF for their Emergency Ambulances..
the sprinter is good..
-
If the normal length not sufficient for you....
you can opt for the extended version....
Citaro.... 
We are talking about Limousine.... we are not talking about BUSES.... pls come back to Limousine vehicle(s)...

Yes.... so far only the Govt Sectors have Sprinters.... that including SPF K9.
Heard Army also have a few.... as command center during exercises.

Have lar. I see PA PC Sprinters around my place. All kinds of pte limo and limocabs can be found in my neighbourhood.
I dun wish to do free advertising for them here.
-
I took a S500 yesterday....(driven by a rich friend)
Super comfortable.... but beyond the reach of an average Limousine driver like me...
even the back seats have electrical seats & massager.

Cisco has PA / PC plates too. Have to check if they are registered as Excursion or Private Hired Bus.

The next best thing....
besides Alphard, Vellfire and/ or Vito, Viano is......
Toyota Estima
