How To Get the Most Out of Your Limo Rental

Limousines are the perfect accompaniment for any special occasion.
Whether you are getting married, celebrating prom, or simply want to celebrate something good in your life, limos can help to make that night simply unforgettable.

There are a lot of things to consider about a limo rental before you order one. If you've never been in a limo before, you might not know where to start.
We're here to help you help you make sure that you get the most out of your special night.

Make a Reservation

Don't leave it up to chance that you'll be able to find a limo rental an hour before your event. You wouldn't want the whole night to become ruined because all of the nearby limo companies are fully booked and are not available for three more weeks.

Make a reservation well ahead of time to ensure that you'll have everything in order. It's best to make the call a month before the event. This way you'll know that your mode of transportation is cared for well before the day comes.

​Don't forget to call a week before to check that everything is still all set.

Weekdays are Best

There are certain days of the week where limousines are booked solid. Weekends are notorious for this. They are the day where most people aren't working, and a lot of parties and events are planned on Saturdays and Sundays, especially Saturdays.

​If at all possible, you should try and rent your limo during the weekday to make certain that you'll be able to get the limo rental you want exactly when you want it.
Other times to avoid would be popular wedding dates. Finding a limo on one of those days will be much harder, so try to work around those dates if you can.

Share the Details

You'll want to let the limo rental company know everything about the planned event so that they can set things up accordingly. It depends a little on what the company offers, but there are a few things that are generally always good to inform the company about beforehand.
These things include:

• Number of passengers
• How many hours the limo will be needed
• Distance you expect to travel
• Decorations necessary (if the company includes this perk)

Just to be safe, it's okay to go a little over in your estimates when telling the limo company. It's better to be too prepared than not prepared enough.

Specify Your Preferred Limo Style

Limousines are not all alike. Some styles might be more to your liking than others, or one might work better with the event you have planned. Some limos are SUVs while others are more elegant Cadillacs.

​Before you decide to call up a limo rental company, do a bit of research about the best limousines. This way you'll be able to pick the one that is perfect for both you and your special occasion.

Travel with Smaller Groups

This can greatly depend on the type of event that you are planning, but if you are looking to keep your limo rental as inexpensive as possible, it's a good idea to keep in mind the number of passengers. The smaller groups, the better.

Some limos can offer you enough space for a small group of up to 6 passengers, but there are some that have enough space for up to 18 passengers.
However, the smaller limousines cost far less, in general, than the bigger ones. Instead of going all out and buying the biggest one you can find, take into consideration that amount of people who will be riding in the limo.

​If you can comfortably fit your whole party into a limo for 6 people, then go with that option.
Sure, the 18-person limo might look more impressive, but it will cost you more in the long run. Trust us, the smaller limo still looks gorgeous on its own.

Plan Your Routes

It's not a good idea to hop into the limousine and tell the driver to just "drive." You should have an idea of where you want to go beforehand.

This way the driver will be able to get you to your destination in the fastest way possible. This makes it easier for the driver. And it will ultimately make the rental cheaper for you.

​Make sure to inform the limo rental company in advance about the places you plan to visit so that they can get everything figured out before the actual night arrives.

Seek Out the Best Accomodation

Not all companies offer the same kinds of perks. Some, for example, are willing to decorate the inside of the limo for you, while others will provide food and drinks for the limo party.

​It's good to know ahead of time what your rental company can offer you as added perks. Seek out the company with the accommodations that suit you and your event best so that you can have as much fun in the limo as possible.

Check Out Rental Policies

Before the event begins, you need to know the different policies that your limo rental company employs. For example, most limos do not allow alcohol inside the vehicle, but others in a different jurisdiction might. Some might not allow food in the car, but others will encourage it.

Also, you should find out whether or not it is expected that you tip the driver at the end of the night. Typically, you would pay the driver around 20% of the base price, but there are some companies where they include this tip in the base price. If you don't know the policy on this, it might make the end of the night a little awkward.
