You have a very special outing planned. Everything has to be perfect. You’ve even made the decision to hire a limousine. All you have to do now is choose which company to work with. So, how do you choose the best limousine service for your needs? Before making a final decision, there are a few things to consider.
Obviously, cost will be a consideration. You want to get the most bang for your buck. When you’re calling around for quotes, make sure you ask a lot of questions. Is there a discount if you book ahead of time or hire the limo for a certain number of hours with the limousine service? Are some dates or days of the week more affordable than others? Is it cheaper to travel in the early evening or late at night than at other times?
Instead of charging an hourly rate, some limousine companies offer flat rates for an outing that lasts a certain number of hours. Assume you need the limo for three hours. A service fee plus a certain amount per hour may be charged by the company.
Instead of charging a service fee, another limousine company may require a minimum number of hours. The latter may have a four-hour minimum rental period. Even if you only plan on being out for three hours, this option may be less expensive. Check it out.
If you’re looking for a specific type of limousine, ask each company what models they have available for your event’s date and time. Even if you are aware that a particular company offers the limo style you desire, this does not guarantee that it will be available when you need it. Inquire ahead of time and make a reservation if necessary. Also keep in mind that renting one type of limousine may be more expensive than renting another. If the cost difference is significant, you might opt for a different model.
Of course, different occasions call for the use of a limousine, such as business meetings, weddings, and funerals. When it comes to selecting a limousine, the type of event is important. Ask the limo service for recommendations if you’re not sure which vehicle would be best for your needs. It’s also a good idea to research what a proper tip is for each situation so you can tip the driver appropriately.
