THE PERFECT PARTY!

Renting a limo is not overly complicated, but there are several key rules (and of course exceptions to every rule). First, limo companies are kings at tagging on extra fees that they never tell you about during the quote. You should always ask about additional expenses like tax, toll, gas, and overtime or any other miscellaneous or service charges. When you receive a quote from a company, besides the fees, ask them if the price includes gratuity. If it does not, you must add 20% in order to gauge how much you are actually being quoted. DON’T BE A TOO CHEAP! Yes, 20% is the norm. Your driver will need to cover his gas and additional amenities provided in order to assure your limo ride is a good on. To rent a limo, you most likely will need to leave a credit card on file or pay cash when it arrives. Be sure to find out the payment details in advance.

Before putting down any deposit to rent a limo, request a contract from the company and read their policy on cancellations, changes, liability, lateness and other key components. This might sound intuitive but read the contract, so that you are not surprised later. Some companies ask for a security deposit upon arrival so be sure to keep the original credit card on file. Never hesitate to communicate with the company on the day of your event. It never hurts to remind. Last but not least, be sure to enjoy your ride to the fullest. For several of us, riding in a limousine doesn’t happen too often.

FINDING A LIMO COMPANY

When looking for the right limo company, be sure you have narrowed down all of your needs. Although most companies maintain a wide variety of options to choose from, there might be specifics they need to know to better assist you. Things they will need to know:

- SIZE OF YOUR PARTY
- TYPE OF PACKAGE
- NUMBER OF HOURS AND STARTING TIME
- DESTINTIONS

Once you’ve compiled the appropriate information we recommend you begin your search on the internet. The web offers surfing with ease without having to talk to anyone. If the internet is not available, grab a phone book or local city magazine but be sure to ask bunch of questions.
