Limo Rentals

Always be precise about what limo you need. Will stock luxury sedans do? How many passengers will it carry? Bear in mind that the larger the limo, the more expensive. Will a relatively older model do? A newer model will also be more expensive while an older one can be well maintained to look and feel like new if coming from reputable limo rentals.

Also make sure they have the PSV/PCD operator license if you plan to take one of those super stretch American limos. They are sure to charge more as these limos are not only heftier and carry more than passengers, but they could easily run afoul of the law. Bear in mind that limos with more than 8 passengers need to have a COIF (Certificate of Initial Fitness) and its operators duly licensed with a PCV (Passenger Carriage Vehicle) to legally operate them.

The recent mandate might have converted most of them to the COIF standards and thus command a heftier price than before when they were being operated illegally.

Some Tips to Get the Best Limo Service

Getting the best value doesn’t equate to being cheap. Bear in mind that just like in any commercial purchases, you get what you pay for. There will always be cheap limo rentals out there but don’t expect a well-maintained vehicle or a courteous well-dressed or uniformed chauffeur. A limo is something you want to be proud of getting in or out, not something to be embarrassed with.

For special occasions like weddings, prom nights or simple out-of-town sojourns, a package deal can yield the best value compared with getting charged on an hourly basis. Packaged limo deals offer a fixed set of hours for the limo of our choice and are often inclusive of chauffeur tip and other freebies or amenities that you want to go with the limo, like drinks, champagne or a movie.

Companies get the best deal from bulk rates for a fleet of limos for use by their executives or guests during special corporate events.

Sometimes a shared limo ride can offer the best value especially if it’s just for purposes of bringing you to a single point of destination, like a horse race, a soccer match, a prom or party, a concert or a gala premiere and you don’t mind taking a cab after.
