Introduction

Choosing a limousine can be somewhat confusing if you dont know what your looking for. The intention of this article is to give you a better idea of whats available when choosing a limo as well as things to look out for to make sure you dont get caught out.

Types of Limousines

One of the first things to be aware of is the various types of limos you can choose from. Apart from some of the more well known limos like navigators and hummers there are many more such as excursions, Chryslers, icons, Chevys, and stretch beetles. Always ask the limo hire company what limos are available before booking

Limousine features

Youd be amazed some of the extras you can get in a limo these days. Add-ons range from mini bars and fridges to flat screens and fibre optics. Generally the more the limo has the more it costs but if youre looking for luxury, you cant go wrong!

The occasion

Informing the limo hire company of the occasion is always a good idea as nine times out of ten they will have catered for the same kind of event before. So, for example, if its for corporate entertainment food and drink may be laid on, and an internet feed be made available. Or perhaps its for a night out on the town, then the hire firm may include champagne and mood lighting. Letting them know what the limo hire is for will help ensure the limo meets your needs.

A quick note here for airport pickups. You will want to check to make sure that youre not charged if the flight is delayed. Most limo hire companies will record your flight number and check it is due in on time before departing to pick you up, and then only charge you from the time their chauffeur leaves. Also if your going to have a lot of luggage make sure the limo can accommodate this!

The hire company

Choosing a reputable, well know limo firm is probably the most important of all decisions. Using a hire firm youve used before and know to be good is always advisable but if thats not possible ask friends and family if threes any companies theyd recommend.

Legal stuff

If you can ensure the limo is registered and licensed and has insurance liability coverage. Also make sure you get a written signed contract that clearly lays out the details of the event just in case there are any discrepancies later on.

Getting quotes

It’s always advisable to get as many quotes as possible to make sure you get the best deal but make sure you check out each hire company is quoting for the same things in terms of limo model, included features, parking fees, duration/distance etc. Also find out how long the quote is valid for and see if theres a discount for booking over the internet or well in advance.

Making the booking

Try to book as far in advance as possible to guarantee that your booking is secured and you get the limo you want. Most limo hire companies will require a deposit to be paid will the full amount being paid on the day.

Finally

have fun and enjoy the occasion
