Limo Rental Guide
|
|
What You Need to Know Before Renting.
Here are some critical guidelines to
follow to ensure your party or special event is dazzling success!

Looking for the "Best Price"? You may be disappointed.
The biggest error you could make when shopping for a limo rental is
searching based on PRICE. In the limousine industry, there are many
variances of quality and price. All too often, a cheaper price
translates into larger risk for you.
Most consumers would not choose a restaurant or hotel based on price,
yet people shop for a limo service this way and expect 5-star quality.
If you shop for a limousine service based on price alone, you will
likely be frustrated and disappointed with your limousine experience.
Old, dirty, poorly maintained vehicles, shoddy service, unprofessional
chauffeurs with poor hygiene, dangerous vehicles, late service, and
under-insured services are all possible results of a "best price"
shopping priority.
There are exceptions-- however, the lower the price, the more risk you
will assume with your transportation plans. |

RISKS YOU TAKE WHEN SHOPPING FOR A LIMOUSINE BASED ON PRICE ALONE.
|
Your limousine does not show up.
You miss your concert.
|
|
Your limousine shows up late. You
miss your dinner engagement and Broadway play.
|
|
A 1987 model limousine rusting at
the seams arrives at your door when you were expecting at a 1998
model. Instead of being lavished in luxury, you are embarrassed.
|
|
Your limousine shows up with an
unprofessional chauffeur with poor hygiene.
|
|
Your limousine chauffeur
exercises poor customer service with your company's most influential
client. You loose the account.
|
|
Your limousine service gets into
an accident and does not have proper insurance to cover the damages
involved in your injuries.
|
|
Your limousine drops an axle
during transport and you are injured. Turns out your service did not
have the limousine safety inspected as state law mandates.
|
|
Your limousine breaks down on the
freeway during transport to the Super Bowl. You and 7 of your friends
missed the big game- but you saved $35.00 |

Ask About Insurance and
Permits.
All limousines are required to carry commercial insurance and proper
City and Airport permits. Unfortunately, the Yellow Pages does not
require the same in order to advertise. To protect yourself from "gypsy
companies", ask for these from your selected company. |

Ask to see the company's
vehicles.
Once again, check out the vehicle you plan on renting. Some
companies utilize older fleets. You don't want to be surprised on your
wedding day when a 1988 limousine shows up at the church when you were
expecting a year 2000 model! |

Get A Signed Contract.
A reliable and professional service will be more than happy to
provide you with a signed-contract for service. Companies who can't
supply a contract may not be confident in their ability to fulfill.

"The Limo Broke Down!"
Don't be the unfortunate customer which gets the "The Limo Broke
Down" or "We don't have your reservation" story. Cover yourself by
dealing with a reputable company. Shopping on price alone is dangerous.
Some unethical operators do not hesitate to drop a reservation to pickup
a better paying fare. |

Do
we have to pay for the limo while we attend the event?
In cases where you aren't using the limousine during your rental
(such as bar-hopping, dinner reservations, concerts, sporting events,
etc.) you still have to pay for the rental time, even if you aren't
physically using the vehicle. While you are at a concert, the
vehicle cannot be used elsewhere; even when there are 2 or 3 hours in
between the and pickup. Some companies sometimes offer a discounted
hourly rate when the vehicle is idly waiting outside a concert or sports
venue. In addition, if there are more than 4 hours between and pick-up
with minimum travel time, some companies may offer a "split" - just a
rental to-and-from your destination with no charge for waiting time in
between. |

Can We Drink Alcohol in the
Limo?
It is against the law for limousine companies to provide alcohol for
the customers, however you may bring your own. Our limousines are always
equipped with ice and soft drinks. UNDERAGE drinking is not allowed
under any circumstances. |
|

Do We Have to Tip The Driver?
The standard gratuity of 20% of the total fare is automatically
included in the total price quote. If you feel your driver has performed
in an exceeding manner, you can tip extra. |

Air-Conditioning Systems.
Also, be aware that many old model limousines have air-conditioning
systems, which are NOT equipped to handle hot days. If you are getting
married in the 'dead of summer', inquire about your limousine's air
conditioning system, especially if your vehicle will be older than 4
years old! Older models only have one AC compressor and on extremely hot
days, getting a cool limousine may not be possible. Newer model
limousines have two AC compressors, which eliminated this problem. |
