If you know how to bargain hard, you can ride in any kind of stretch limo for a lot less than you expected.
Step:
1. Assess your financial status. A standard limousine (four to six.)
Passengers) will set you back $40 to $80 per hour; A stretch limo (six to eight passengers) runs a little longer - $60 to $100 per hour. Both last at least four to five hours per hour (although this is usually negotiable). Special limousines such as Mercedes, Hummer or Superstreach (up to 22 passengers) can cost more than $3,000 per night.
2. Research, research, research. Make sure the limo operator is licensed and insured. Depending on the event and the number of people at your party, decide what kind of limo you want (standard, stretching, super stretch or specialty) and for how long. What you are looking for, be it a bar, stereo, TV and DVD player, video-gaming system, intercom, sunroof, jacuzzi or all bag of chips. Prices may or may not be posted online. You need to do some phone work to get the best deal.
3. Find the limo, condition and complementary facilities you rent for the year before submitting. If the Limo is not satisfactory to you, make sure the deposit is refunded. Many limo companies promote one type of car and look completely different for your door. Most often, they list pictures of their limousines on their websites. If quality is of the utmost importance, plan to visit a Limo Company and reserve the exact one that best suits your needs.
4. Hire a quality driver. This is important - a bad driver can ruin your evening. Make sure the drivers are experienced, professional and know the area. Provide a travel plan for the company in advance 'so' the driver knows where he is going and what to expect. When the driver appears, make sure you have any special requirements.
5. Ask whose responsibility it is to store the limo in advance for any necessary party assistance. Some companies provide everything you need; Others expect you to bring your own. Sometimes you can negotiate a lower price if you offer to stock the bar yourself.
6. Find out if gratuity is included in the rate; However, you should give your driver a tip, so try to keep it separate.
Total reference:
Make sure your lemon is large enough to fit everyone comfortably. If you have six passengers, take a car with eight passengers.
If you want premium wine, discuss it in advance or plan to bring your own wine.
Ask if smoking (or other activities) is allowed. If it is not, most drivers will look the other way when it comes to the right price.
If this is a really special case, do not be cheap. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for: Most high-end limo companies have better drivers, vehicles and accessories.
Try clearing everything with your driver first. He may be your captain and your best friend or worst nightmare of the evening.
When making your reservation, make sure the limo company and their drivers are properly licensed and insured. This will ensure that you are dealing with a leading company...
