How to Find the Greatest Castle Rock Limousine

Many people who live in Douglas County want to find the best Castle Rock Limousine.  It can be hard to find a reputable limousine service that will show up in a nice vehicle.  The other problem is the fact that many Limousine in Castle Rock companies will charge a lot of money for a simple ride to the airport.  After all, in this economy, who wants to spend a lot of money on transportation.

The other choice is hiring a taxi company, but these taxis are unreliable and many of them charge even more than a limo service for such a low end vehicle.  The best part about hiring a Castle Rock Limo is the fact that they have very nice black Lincoln Town Cars and they provide free water. 

We all know that Douglas County is a rich area and the residents have come to expect upper echelon service.  So why should it be any different with a transportation service?  Make sure that any limo service that you hire is licensed, bonded and insured.  Also make sure they have a license to operate  Also ask if they have an On Time Guarantee.  They problem is the fact that many companies overbook themselves and run the risk of being late to your pick up.

You can usually tell a good limo service by thier phone demeanor and be sure and shop around to find the lowest price.  Always ask if gratuity is included and if there are any other fees that they will add on to the cost.  Also, see if these limo services charge you for tolls.

There is one service in Castle Rock called Wolfe Limousine and they have been providing quality service and getting some great reviews online.  The CEO of Wolfe Limousine said that his goal was to create the best company in town  His goal is to offer the best service and the best chauffeurs at a reasonable rate.  He was just interviewed by the local newspaper and his company is making leaps and bounds. 

Wolfe Limousine is known by many local executives as the premier limousine service in Castle Rock.  Of course there are other choices, but why risk having your limo not show up.  Wolfe Limousine is family owned and operated and Michael-John Wolfe has 15 years experience in the limousine industry.  Michael-John has personally driven celebrities such as Jon Bon Jovi and he pride himself in letting his customers maintain a low profile.

Wolfe says that his best driving experience came from toting around Walter Payton before he died.  Walter was kind enough to give me a signed football and he even took some photos with me, says Wolfe - a major football fan.  If I could drive one other celebrity, it would be Dan Marino says Wolfe.  Although Wolfe admits that celebrities are more likely to visit Denver than Castle Rock, but there are a select few celebrities who have homes in Castle Pines.  Who these celebrities are, Wolfe won’t say - he maintains a privacy pact with his high end clientelle.

While there may not be a ton of stars here, Castle Rock is home to many blossoming small businesses and having Wolfe Limousine in town only increases the value.  So if you need professional, reliable transportation in Castle Rock, look no further than Wolfe Limousine.  You’ll be glad you did!

Standard Mileage Rate vs Actual Vehicle Expenses 2009, 2010

You may know that because the IRS provides a standard mileage rate for the deduction of vehicle expenses used in your business, you are allowed to choose between this rate and the actual expenses you incur in calculating this deduction.

Because the mileage rate includes nearly all of the expenses you incur it is typically much easier to apply. All you need are mileage logs and the current rate allowed by the IRS.

But it may not always provide the best deduction you can get. By the time you add up all of the expenses you are entitled to for actual expenses, it’s not unlikely they will exceed the standard rate amount you could take.

Actual expenses include depreciation, licenses, gas, oil, tolls, lease payments, insurance, garage rental, parking, registration fees, repairs, maintenance, tire costs, etc. Expenses for personal property taxes and parking are deductible even if you do take the standard mileage deduction.

As of October 2008, the current standard mileage rate is 58.5 cents per mile. Given that gas prices have recently been declining, the standard rate looks very attractive presently, but it is still a good idea to run both calculations to be sure you’re deducting as much as you can.

If you will ever use the standard mileage deduction, you are required to use it in the first year your vehicle is in service for business purposes. There are also situations for which the tax law prohibits a vehicle user from taking the standard mileage rate.

These include:

  • If the owner uses five or more vehicles in a business;

  • If a Section 179 deduction was taken on the purchase of the vehicle;
  • If the vehicle is leased and the actual expenses have ever been used to calculate the deduction.

Making a careful and wise decision about how you calculate the deduction you take for vehicle usage can save you a lot of money on your taxes. Do the right thing for yourself.
