Corporate
work.
For
corporate work a Jaguar/Daimler or the Mercedes 500 SEL is usually used.
Transfers.
The
sedan's /saloons are usually used, but if we know that clients are going
on a cruise from Copenhagen - or if they terminate a cruise in Copenhagen
- we use one of the Daimler Limousines if possible (with two passengers
only, at no extra charge) as those cars have the largest trunks/boots of
any limousine in Denmark, and cruse passengers very often have an incredible
amount of luggage.
Sightseeing.
With
two or three passengers we use a sedan/saloon, with four we will probably
suggest using a Daimler Limousine at no extra charge, with five six or
seven passengers we use a Daimler Limousine.
Weddings.
The
Bentley and the Daimler Limousines are used for weddings.
When
the Bentley or a Daimler Limousine is used for a wedding, it is decorated
with white ribbons and flying the Danish flag. The chauffeur is dressed
in the uniform of the Royal chauffeurs: in the summertime a white
coat, black trousers and cap.
Most
weddings in Denmark follow a certain timetable.
The
car will arrive well ahead of time at the location where the bride and
her father or brother are waiting.
The
bride will arrive at church on time or up to 3 minutes after the wedding
is scheduled to take place. The reason is, that it is a tradition that
the bride should be the last person to arrive at the church.
A
normal wedding takes 30 - 35 minutes. The married couple leave the church
but stop just outside in order to receive congratulations and "best wishes"
and to have their picture taken by guests of the wedding.
As
the couple get into the limousine rice is thrown. (An old fertility rite!!
wishing the couple many, many children!!)
The
car drives on to a photographer and there the couple usually arrive one
hour after the bride entered the church.
Rice
is removed from the hair and bouquet of the bride, from the dark coat of
the groom and the photographer starts working.
Meanwhile
the chauffeur is removing rice from the car.
The
stop at the photographer usually takes 45 minutes so approximately two
hours after the bride went into the church the couple enters the location
where the party or reception is held.
THIS
IS A TYPICAL WEDDING.
The
standard rate does cover this type of job if the total distance driven
is 50 kilometres or less from the City Hall Square, Copenhagen / City Hall
Square, Copenhagen. More than 90% of weddings follow this pattern and timetable.
The
last 10% feature driving long distances or for example a reception for
the church guests before going to the location where the party is held.
For this kind of job we discuss the details with the client and quote a
final, all extra's included, price.
Special
occasions.
In
Denmark Limousines are often used for Jubilees or "Proms".
Jubilees:
Companies
often let a limousine fetch employees, who are celebrating 25 years
of employment, in the morning at their residence and transport the employee,
and perhaps the spouse and children, to the reception, held at the company
HQ.
For
this type of work we usually use a Daimler Limousine (often the one with
the A1 licence plate), fit a flag and the chauffeur is wearing the uniform
of the Royal chauffeurs: a white coat. black trousers and a cap.
Proms:
Proms
are in Denmark called "Gallafester".
Often
the seniors in High School ("Gymnasium - 3 G") want to arrive to the yearly
"Gallafest" in a limousine. So we pick up 6 - 7 seniors, take them on a
trip through the centre of the City for the students to "see and be seen".
Often the classes have decided to meet in front of City Hall or at
the Kongens Nytorv Square where champagne is served - and then we take
the students to the party.
