The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics will be in Indianapolis April 13th-16th. We are happy to have them here!

Below is a nice  scenario that only the math teachers of the world can appreciate.

“A transportation company has 17 vehicles in their fleet. On April 30th said transportation employed 32 chauffeurs to transport 45 1-passenger reservations.

How many different combinations of vehicles, chauffeurs and passengers could the transportation schedule?”

Math Teachers will receive an additional discount when mentioning the correct answer!

Thankfully, not. The sun is finally out again in the beautiful city of Indianapolis after what seemed like a never-ending sentence of gloom.

I don’t care what anyone says. FEBRUARY is the looongest month of the year. All 28 days…

Rest easy, David. This is NOT going to be forever. You will not be confined to the backseat of a mundane vehicle forever. You could ride in style to your next dentist appointment in one of our new additions (We added vehicles, not the most epic music group of all time).

Call today to try out our new Stretch Hummer & Stretch Lincoln Navigator! (317) 484-9880.

To everyone’s shock & horror it snowed in January. This was especially surprising considering that January in the Mid West is typically sunny with clear skies.

We are hearing reports from weather.com that nearly 500 astute, sophisticated fliers hired Five Star Transportation to take them to & from the airport. All 500 avoided driving on the ice; they left it to the professionals.

Way to go astute, sophisticated fliers…way to go. Call (317) 484-9880 to become astute & sophisticated.

In the event your flight was cancelled, I’d urge you to consider family fun time. Family fun time is best captured by building a snowman (throwing a snowball at your child while they have their back turned). Hugh Jackman wins Father of the Snowpocalypse 2011.

Cost: $450 million.

Rooms: 1,626 rooms.

Meeting space: 145,000 square feet. One ballroom totals 40,500 square feet.

Location: 10 S. West St. Seven acres overlook the White River State Park.

Hotel complex already open: The Courtyard by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, SpringHill Suites by Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, and the T.G.I. Friday’s restaurant opened in February.

It’s that time of year when we all head in and out of IND airport and fly to see our families.

But this time is different. This time you’ll get the pleasure of opting out of a body scanner. Airport travel is becoming an increasingly time consuming and burdensome affair. The airline industry has really lost it’s way in taking care of customers.

Yes, you will:

• Be charged extra for bags
• Wait in line
• Disrobe
• Take off your shoes
• Wait in line
• Be body scanned
• Wait in line
• Wait on the tarmac
• Be charged extra for food/drinks/blanket/headphones/pillow
• Wait in line

You’ll notice sooooo much waiting. HOWEVER! Reserve your travel to & from the airport and have the pleasure of someone waiting on YOU! Our Chauffeurs will meet you at the bottom of the escalator in baggage claim.

Rates are very reasonable starting at ~$58.00, depending on location.

Thanks to the Colts’ defense on Sunday we can all rest easy while we phone in the win at New England will scratch and claw our way to victory when the Colts play the Patriots Bill Belichick next week. Some important points to remember:

1. Belachek Belichick is kind of an evil genius.

2. Tom Brady needs a haircut.

3. Coach Caldwell has just picked up Chuck Norris as a free agent. (That’s why he didn’t fight to get Randy Moss, fyi.)

To book high-class transportation (see: safe) for Colts vs. Chargers on 11/28/2010 email Bob or Samantha at reservations@5starindy.com.

Btw, the game start at 8:20pm EST.

We’ve got a GREAT Groupon being featured 11/16 for the Indianapolis, IN market. Be sure to sign up at www.groupon.com.

The offer is so good in fact that we are anticipating a number of questions….as always you can call Samantha, Bob & Mike at (317) 484-9880 for more information.

$45 for 1 hour of Limo service

1. I have 10 million friends that would like to ride with me. Can I bring them?

• Typically people bring between 5-9 friends along for the ride. We don’t have a vehicle that holds 1 million people…yet.

2. I want to use this for an upcoming flight. Can I use this for the airport?

• Yes, of course! Also, we would jump at the chance to serve you on the return flight.

3. All of the dates I want are blacked out. No fair.

• Five Star Transportation has been completely booked for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day & St. Patrick’s Day for some time. We apologize for the inconvenience, but hope instead you extend your holiday and share your time with Five Star Transportation!

4. I have 1 hour already purchased through Groupon, but I need 4 hours total. Can my bachelor/bachelorette/golf-outting/bar crawl/party get the 1st hour for $45 and book the rest at the normal rate?

• Absolutely. We do ask that you consider the full retail price when calculating the gratuity for your driver. You do the math for the 1st hour, we’ll do it for the rest.

 5. Do I need to print and bring the Groupon with me?

• We do ask that you provide the Groupon to your driver. If your deep desire to protect Mother Earth precludes you from printing emails, you can always forward the Groupon to reservations@5starindy.com.

6. I want to book additional hours but there is no need for a driver to sit and wait while I’m eating dinner at Mo’s Steakhouse. Can the hours be split?

• Absolutely. A great way to save money is to request 2, one-way transfers: to and from your favorite restaurant.

7. Is tip included?

• Gratuity is not included in the Groupon promotion. Drivers typically receive 20% of the gross receipt.

Seriously? Really? Over. The. Top.

Welcome to the new home of Five Star Transportation! Our team is really excited about the great work InspireMedia has done (really fast, seriously, really fast-like 2 day turnaround).

Keep checking back as we update and enhance functionality.
