Prom night is special and you should treat it as such. Getting around can be easy to do if you know what type of service to choose. A special prom limo is one of the best solutions for your special event.
When should you Book it?
Usually it is best to book the limo 2 months before the actual event because the prom season is one of the busiest for a limo service company. You do not want to call the company too late and find out they do not have limos to offer. Plus, if you do not book the limo on time, you can pay heavy premiums due to the increased demand.
How to Book It?
Limo service companies are all around you. You can find them in the newspapers, magazines, in the Yellow Pages and, of course, on the internet. There are plenty to choose from and they all have offers for you. All you need to do is call them or e-mail them and get their offer.
You should know that respectable limo companies have an insurance coverage of about $1 Million for the car and passengers. So ask them if you can come to their headquarters and see the fleet. It is a great way to form an option about them and see the car you are planning to book. Also, while you are with the company’s representative, you should not be afraid to ask questions. Do not meet with limo service companies that do not have an official headquarters and they want to meet with you in the parking lot.
They will not offer you a good quality business. Also, there are many brokers that serve as intermediaries between you and the actual company and they charge extra fees. So, before signing anything, make sure you are talking to the company’s representative and not a broker. If you are booking the limo for a large group of people, ask for a classic stretch limousine or a party bus. The party bus is not as fancy as the stretched limo but it is very comfortable because it has much more space to offer and you can even dance in it. If you are booking the limo way ahead, you can even get special offers and discounts. Limo service companies do not have last minute offers like the air plane carriers so book ahead.
Deposits
The typical deposit is 15-30% of the quoted service fee. Some companies also include gratuity in the bill, but you should ask about that.
Prom Limo Rules
Common sense applies here too. For example, if you break something, you will pay for it. You are responsible for your actions and if you do something illegal you will be held accountable for it. In some limos smoking is not allowed so ask about that.
Also, underage drinking and doing drugs are never permitted anywhere because it is against the law. If you are caught doing those things, the limo company can cancel the ride and not refund your money.
