When you want to travel in style for a wedding, graduation party or some other special event, there are certain things you need to look for when it comes to choosing the best limousine service. This is definitely more of a process than browsing the yellow pages, calling a service and reserving a limousine and driver. You need to know which questions you should ask before choosing.
Start by getting a list of all the limousine services in your area. This information can be found on the Internet or in the local yellow pages. You will save time by doing a little investigative work before you start calling these companies. Just use the Internet to find out if limousine companies in your area have any bad reviews. Also contact your local Better Business Bureau to find out if any complaints have been filed. This should narrow down your list of options, but there will still be plenty of limo services to choose from.
You must write a list of questions to ask for limousine services before calling. You need to know if the drivers are properly licensed and connected. If they are related, this ensures that the drivers have already checked the background. Are vehicles properly licensed to travel to a scheduled event and back?
You should ask about insuring a limousine company. Does this insurance also include passengers in the vehicle in case of an accident? What amenities, such as drinks, are available for passengers? What types of limousines can be rented? The selection usually includes regular sedan limousines, SUV limousines and stretch limousines, but other types may be available. Find out if you can visit the offices of the company to see their cars before your event.
Remember that you hire a limousine service. The limousine service does not hire you, although some less professional services may make you feel it. There is important information that a service representative should know when you call them. This information usually consists of the date and time of your event, the address in which you will be raised, the addresses of the event, if additional people are raised in other places and these addresses, and the type of event that you booked a limousine for.
As soon as the limousine service representative receives this information, it’s your turn to ask questions. The first thing you need to know is if there are any special packages. Often in limousines there will be special price packages that include additional features for certain types of events, such as proms. As soon as you receive this information, you can start asking other questions that you have recorded. Make sure that you also write the answers to these questions so that you can compare companies after you have made your calls.
Finally, make sure you book a limousine well in advance of your event. These services have a limited number of available cars, and for events such as proms, or during the looking seasons, all available limousines will be booked as the date of the event approaches.
