Holiday Lights Tour – Greater Phoenix Tradition
November 28th, 2011
The Christmas spirit is in the air now that Thanksgiving has officially passed. The month of December is filled with various holiday festivities and among them is the Valley’s tradition of displaying the most extravagant of holiday lights. As single family homes transform themselves into a Christmas wonderland, in the Greater Phoenix area you can expect anything from candy-cane houses, animation carved characters, a Ferris wheel, petting zoos, and various unique forms of live entertainment. One family house in Chandler is famous for serving popcorn, cocoa and cookies as they show holiday movies.
Arizona Celebration of Lights is a drive thru holiday lights display in Phoenix starts on November 19th and last through January 1st 2012. The organizers of this particular tour say that it is the state of Arizona’s largest display of holiday lights with more than 7,000,000 lights and 300 animated and still displays. On average about 140,000 people and 15, 000 cars pass through the display during this joyous season. This holiday tour lasts about a mile as you pass through five tunnels. They are open Sunday through Thursday and you can enjoy the holiday lights from 5:30pm to 9:00pm and on Friday, Saturdays and holidays their opened an extra hour, closing at 10pm. Glendale Glitters is another holiday tour in the area between November 25th and January 14th. A Holiday celebration in the historic downtown of Glendale is with 1.5 million multi-colored holiday lights throughout a twelve block area, from 6 to 10pm every evening. The majority of the holiday lights in the valley is spirited by single family homes, who open their yards to strangers in the spirit of Christmas, making it the best time of the year.
Accent Transportation can be apart of your Christmas as we will gladly tour you and your family around the extravagant holiday lights, giving you the peace to watch the lights from the back seat, relaxed and enjoying the company of your family and friends.
Phoenix: The Winter Visitor Mecca
November 21st, 2011
Dear Winter-Visitors,
We welcome you with open arms and we look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,
AccentLimo
Limo Service in Phoenix and the Winter Visitor MeccaThe influx of winter time guests are now arriving in Phoenix and the Valley’s winter-visitor industry has been anxiously waiting. The year round residents of Phoenix refer to these visitors, as “snowbirds”. They are welcomed with open arms as they get reacquainted to their second home and bring life back to the Phoenix metropolitan area. According to AZ Central last year the winter-visitor industry experienced the best numbers in years as the snowbirds arrived earlier and stayed longer. The reason for the rise in snowbirds last year is predicted to be due to the inflow of Canadians taking advantage of the currency exchange rate. The Center for Business Research at Arizona State University assessed that more than 300,000 visitors flock to the state during the winter and spend $350 million on lodging and $280 million on consumer goods. Phoenix limousine service is also among one of the winter visitor industries that is affected positively during this time of the season. As the summer time comes to an end and the flocks of snowbirds make their way to Arizona, limo services in Phoenix are preparing to serve the winter-visitors. Accent Limo experiences its busiest time of the year during the winter. Returning clients and new ones make the winter season for limo services in Phoenix eventful. The Phoenix metropolitan area not only offers perfect weather but also the best of hiking and golfing locations. Phoenix was recently named one of America’s top 10 hiking cities by the National Geographic Magazine, featuring South Mountain –as the largest municipal park in the world, spanning nearly 17,000 acres and 58 miles of trails. And with over 200 golf courses, Phoenix is one of the premier golf destinations in the United States. Two golf courses at Troon North Golf Club, the Monument and the Pinnacle are both ranked in “Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Courses you can Play in the U.S”. Phoenix has earned its name as the Winter Visitor Mecca, offering continuous sunny days and the best temperatures during the winter season.

How to choose a wedding limo in Phoenix
October 5th, 2011The whole process of planning a wedding can be both stressful and hectic. One of the most important elements of your special day is your wedding limousine service. We’ve compiled a short list of how to choose the right wedding limo to make your day perfect.
- Book your limo at least three months early, that way you can eliminate the last minute frustration of not finding the limo you want because it has already been booked. Remember in the greater Phoenix area, the months between November and May are the busiest.
- Choose reliability over price, you want to select a reliable limo service, the last thing you want to do is risk the limousine showing up late or not showing up at all. Ask your greater Phoenix limo service to provide you with verifiable reviews. Ours is done by an outside company – http://www.customerlobby.com/reviews/8451/accent-transportation-services-dba-accent-limo/
- Ask and make sure that the limousine company you’re dealing with is licensed and insured. Ask to see their insurance certificate and their weight & measures sticker to make sure their vehicles are properly licensed with the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures.
- Before booking, schedule an appointment to see the limo. Most companies use stock photos instead of actual pictures of their limousines. At Accent Limo, we’ve posted pictures of our limos on our facebook page- www.facebook.com/transaccent. You want to make sure the cars are new model, in good condition, and cleanly kept.
- Make sure they offer wedding packages. At Accent Limo we offer a red carpet special with complimentary soft drinks, bottled water Just Married signs and decorations that match your wedding color scheme.We will also cater to any additional requests the couple have to help make their wedding day memorable
- Last, but not least ask whether they’re a member of national & local organizations. Accent Limo is a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau – (http://ethicalaz.com/accenttransportationservices/), National Limousine Association, and Arizona Limousine Association – (http://azlimousineassociation.org/articles/members).
- The most important thing is to choose a greater Phoenix limo service that’s committed to make your wedding day truly special.

Tucson Weekend Getaway
September 21st, 2011
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” this memorable quote from the 1980 film The Shining has become a widespread and prevalent quote in American culture. After a long strenuous work week it should only be right to give the same amount of energy to some fun on the weekend.
For all the Arizonians that are looking for a weekend getaway, Tucson is the perfect location. Today it’s known as home to the University of Arizona but Tucson is one of the oldest towns in America, originally an Indian Village called “stook-zone” it first became a part of the United States through the Gadsden Purchase of 1854. Tucson also once served as the capital of the Arizona territory from 1867-1877.
It has a small town feel and maybe the best Mexican restaurant in Arizona. You have choices to stay at any of the reasonably priced family friendly resorts like the JW Marriot Starr Pass Resort and Spa, which could be a golfer’s paradise as well as a 4 year olds dream land of a lazy river and a water slide. After staying at the JW for Labor Day weekend, I would recommend this resort to families or couples looking to relax for the weekend. The resort is also strategically placed high in elevation to overview the city of Tucson. Making it the perfect getaway for the whole family and to rejuvenate you from all of your hard work and of course Accent would love to assist you with your traveling plans to Tucson. So you won’t have to worry about the drive, you can lay back and watch a movie in our new model Cadillac Escalade ESV or sipping a glass of wine in one of our stretch limousines on the one and a half hour drive to Tucson.
World’s First Super SUV
September 19th, 2011We see the world altering around us every day with constant technological advances. Well on the 13th of September the Britain based car manufacturer Eterniti revealed at the International Frankfurt Motor Show for the first time the Eterniti Hemera, the world’s first super SUV. This new vehicle is going to be based on the platform of the Porsche Cayenne. It is to be hand made in London producing a remarkable 620 bhp (brake horse power) and a top speed of over 180 mph. Production will begin in early 2012 and will be available for sale by summer time. The automobile manufacturer Eterniti intends to become a boutique luxury carmaker, their production of the “limo-like” vehicle Hemera has a rear cabin, with twin reclining rear seats, twin iPads with wireless keyboards and a drinks chiller.
For a world without limits is the slogan for the Hemera. Although minimum information has been released about the Hemera, many other luxury interior components are expected. The engineering team is led by Alastair Macqueen, who was in charge for the making of the Jaguar XJ220 supercar and has won the Le Mans 24-Hour race with both Jaguar and Bentley. Eterniti is planning to establish its first facility in London featuring a showroom, car build and service center, and a separate area where customers can create custom specifications for their cars, which will be hand-built on site. More of these facilities are expected to open around the world in key international cities, one of them being Hong Kong, starting in 2012.
The UK based car maker Eterniti motors is trying to make a distinct name of its company, debuting its first car as the first super SUV in the world, something that other luxury car manufacturers have not done yet. It is anticipated to sale for an estimate of $238,000. Also due to its compact 4 x 4 dimension, the vehicle has an option of self-drive as well as chauffeured. But of course in this type of vehicle chauffeured drive would be desired.
This vehicle is talked about as revolutionary because it offers intense luxury. Accent Limo’s aim as a transportation company has always been offering clients with a world of pure luxury to get you to your destination in comfort and style. Each of our vehicles is equipped with In-Car Wi-Fi, XM Satellite Radio and GPS Navigation. We offer complimentary bottled water and the latest magazines such as Business Week, Forbes or Fortune and local and national newspapers to enhance your journey. Choose Accent if productivity while travelling is on top of your list when selecting your car service.
Phoenix Limo Service to Cardinals Game
September 7th, 2011The 4 ½ month NFL lockout is thankfully over and … Sunday Football is back. Are you as excited as Accent? The Arizona Cardinal’s finished preseason games 2-2 with a great win against the Denver Bronco’s last night. The first game for the Cardinal’s regular season is on Sunday September 11 against the Carolina Panthers. This game will mark the beginning of their journey towards what else but the super bowl. In only 16 regular season games the Cardinal’s faith to enter the playoffs will be determined. Thus makes every single game in these 17 weeks of the regular season games crucial. So meaning there’s only 8 home games for the Cardinals, all games will be on Sundays… Home game schedule is listed below.
Luckily in Phoenix you can enjoy a Cardinal’s game in summer-like weather all throughout the season, unlike in the North and the East where they have to wear layers of clothing and heating pads in their gloves while sitting in the stadium (just something to be thankful for). Accent Transportation will also be of service to transport you to and from the University of Phoenix Stadium in style. Please call us to reserve a Town Car, SUV, stretch limousine or a mini bus before we sale out.
