Planning and research
Plan ahead
The first thing that you need to do when renting a limo is to create a plan. Know what is the purpose of the limo rental.
For example, if you are going to the prom, determine when you are going to need the limo. Will you need the limo to bring you to and/or from the dance? Will you be riding the limo to and/or from the after party? Plan ahead and determine when you will be needing limo service for a certain occasion.
People rent limos for certain events such as funerals, weddings, proms, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and airport trips. When renting, give an allowance of one hour as you will never know if a particular event will go beyond its original schedule.
Next, determine how many people will be riding the limousine. SUV limos can typically carry 18 passengers, while a classic stretch limo can typically accommodate up to 10 people.
Research
Once you have identified all the details about the limo ride, your next step should be to conduct a research on potential limo rental companies. One important thing that you should look for when looking for a company is service level.
Good rental companies would typically impress customers even upon the initial contact. Credible ones would instantly make you feel comfortable and would respond to your queries promptly. Ask for a tour of a company's fleet so that you can inspect units up closely. Reputable firms would be more than happy to oblige with this kind of request.
Examine the exteriors and interiors of the cars to ensure that they are clean and well-maintained. Be wary of companies that offer to meet you in a parking lot.
Package deals and booking ahead
Ask for packages To save up on costs, ask a limo rental company for package deals. Package deals normally involve a fixed number of limos or a fixed number of hours. Final price can be negotiated based on the number and type of add-ons and accessories used. Book ahead If an event falls on peak seasons such as prom: it is highly recommended that you book in advance, preferably three months before the occasion.
