You are planning a very special event and you want everything to be perfect. You have even decided to rent a limousine. Now, all you have to do is decide which company to contact. What should you consider in limousine rental?
Apparently, cost is going to be number one. You want the most for your money. Ask detailed questions when you call around to check pricing. Does the limousine service offer a discount if you book in advance or hire the limo for a certain number of hours? Are different dates or days of the week less expensive than others? Is early evening or later at night less costly than different time slots?
Some limousine companies also offer flat rates for an outing that lasts a certain number of hours, instead of charging an hourly rate. Say you plan to use the limo for three hours. The company may charge a service fee, plus a certain amount per hour.
Another limousine company may require a minimum amount of hours, instead of charging a service fee. For the latter, the minimum may be a four-hour rental. However, even though you only plan to be out for three hours, this option may prove less costly. Find out.
You should ask each company what models they have available for the date and time of your event. Even if you already know a certain company has the limo style you prefer, that does not necessarily mean it will be available when you hope to rent it. Inquire in advance and book ahead of time if necessary. Also, realize that a certain style of limousine may be more expensive to rent than another. You may decide to settle for a different model if the difference in cost is significant.
If you are unsure of which vehicle would best suit your needs, ask the limo service for suggestions. It is also a good idea to find out what an appropriate tip would be for each occasion, so you can tip the driver accordingly.
