What are the most popular Prom Limos?
Prom season is one of the busiest times in limo industry. Back in the day, prom limo service was considered to be for kids of rich parents. However now a days, prom transportation has become more affordable with an increased variety of prom limos. In recent years the most popular limousines for prom are super stretch Hummer H2, and other types of stretch SUV. With their capacity range of 14 passengers all the way to 40 passengers, creates a real inexpensive prom limo. For many young teenagers, prom limo service becomes the highlight of their evening. There are also teenagers that crave for exclusivity when it comes to their prom limousine service experience. A luxurious Lincoln sedan or limo is often reserved by teenagers that can actually afford that type of prom limousine service. It is more exclusive, therefore much more expensive, since the cost of your prom limo is not shared by several couples. In either case, what ever option you choose, be sure you can afford you prom transportation.
How do I make sure I get a good price for my Prom limousine?
When a special event like the prom or a wedding or other occasion is coming up, many people begin to think about getting limo price quotes. Renting a limo is traditional for many events, especially proms and weddings, and the price can be a big part of the cost of the affair. Of course, we get limo price quotes because no one wants to pay more than they have to. But shopping based on cheap limo rates is unadvisable. If you live in a large town, there may be companies that will offer special limo prices or a discount limo service that can meet your needs. In smaller towns, there may not be as much choice or opportunity for deals but it never hurts to ask!
Most Limo companies have and 8 hour minimum. Is it even worth spending hundreds of dollars on prom transportation?
There are many advantages to getting a limo or town car for an event instead of allowing people to drive themselves. For teenagers and others a reliable limo company means safety and no chance of an alcohol impaired driver causing a problem. Young people are also easily distracted with a highly charged event going on and can concentrate on having fun but still be safe. You really have to ask yourself, “how much does your son or daughter worth to you?” All of you will agree their lives are priceless. It is true that limo companies will try to capitalize on prom events by having 6 or 8 hour minimums. There is really no way around that. Limo companies are not evil; it’s all about supply and demand. There are simply not enough vehicles to accommodate all prom events. This precisely why limousine companies raise their prices and hourly usage requirements.
What types of things or questions should I be concerned with when making reservations?
When making a reservation, make sure to get exact limo price quotes, and there are several factors to take into account. The most obvious factor is vehicle type. Stretch SUV limos such as Hummer H2, Cadillac Escalade, limo bus, Chrysler limo or any other super stretch SUV will have a higher price per hour rate; but of coarse will fit substantially a lot more passengers. Sharing a stretch Lincoln limo or super stretch SUV might actually be less expensive per couple, as compared to an exclusive service such as luxurious sedan or Lincoln towncar. Most companies will require at least a deposit to reserve a rental and this can be fairly substantial. Also, most companies have a minimum number of hours (6, 8 or 10 hours) that can be arranged, so remember that when considering how many hours you need and total cost. There are also extras that figure into limo price quotes such as tip, tax and fuel fees. Be sure that you ask for the “out the door” price quote. Other extra may include refreshments in the limo. This can be as simple and relatively thrifty as canned sodas, canapés or even a full gourmet meal. Be certain in advance exactly what is covered and be aware you may be charged for excessive cleaning if the passengers make a mess! You also want to be clear about the number of passengers and the insurance coverage when getting rate quotes. Specific vehicle models such as Chrysler 300, super stretch SUV limos; luxury limos, hummer limos, and classic limos carry specific number of passengers they were designed for. Don't get a nasty surprise from hiring a limo at a price per hour and then learning about a charge for each additional passenger. When teens are the passengers, an adult will need to sign the contract and make the arrangements. If expenses are shared, you want a quote and accurate final amount on each participant.
