A time of celebration, having fun with friends and dancing with your date. However it is during Prom season when the demand for limousines reaches sky high levels. This way you will not only get the best rates but also the limo model of your choice.
The top SUVs, Hummers, stretch Cadillac are snapped up early in the season and you would need to plan well in advance if you want to ride in style on your prom night. So you may want to include renting a limo along side the tuxedo or evening gown and other essentials in your to-do list for the big event.
Here is what to do.
First, you need to know that most limo rentals will run you between $75 and $150 per hour plus tip. This is about normal and it all depends on the type of limo, the amount of time you need it for, and the company you are dealing with. You can add another 20% to 30% on the top for the tip because you will need to take care of your driver as well.
Second, all prices are always negotiable. No matter what they say you can always negotiate. There is not a business in this world that you cannot negotiate with and the worst thing they might tell you is "no" so it is always worth a shot. This will give you something to work with. The smaller companies will want your business because they need it and you can try to get them to match or beat a quote from a larger company.
Just simply be prepared to spend plenty of cash if you wish to be able to appreciate these additional services.
Research for different companies. In the United States, legitimate limo companies need to be listed with their state. Never ever book a limousine with a company that can't quickly present to you their accreditation and insurance credentials - don't take chances. The build up to a prom may last for months, and when the big night finally arrives, it is usually seen as a very big deal. Suits and gowns are either rented or purchased, and the aim isn't only to have a great time, but also to wow. What better way to impress one's friends than to arrive at the prom in a spectacular, luxurious limo.
If this moment is too close to the prom event you'll risk to find not only a higher price but you might also not find available the desired car.
What limousine provider to choose. Many of the limousine companies share same clients. That happens when a certain type of car is not in the fleet of the company. This one will call other provider for it, but that will be in exchange of a commission. The deposit usually is 50%, but some of the companies may apply other payment ways like a plan payment for a defined period of time.
What car to choose. If there is any possibility for you to see first the limo than certainly you'll have to use it and to get the guaranty you'll get what best will suit your prom plans. Make sure the chosen vehicle type to be stipulated in the contract.
