Remember the first Limo ride you ever took? There was that discount limo service in the Lincoln town car to the airport with your parents, right? The next cheap limo was your first prom wasn’t it? That was humiliating, because your date stood there a little awkwardly as you went through the tip math in your head trying to remember the average limo rates or those limo quotes your friend told you about. Even though you did get the cheap limo service, did your date know about that? No way it was a luxury limo, it was a stretch limo, it was a classic limo! Ok, it was a beater, but you’ve grown. No longer will you drop the tip or shove the wadded up contents of your duct tape wallet. You’ve come a long way since the head gear came off, but maybe you aren’t up on all latest details for transportation rules these days—which is just fine. You don’t have to know the difference in limos between the different limousine companies. You don’t even need to know the difference between the limo bus and a hummer limo. Lucky you, the internet hides no secret, and lucky you, this article hides no secrets as wll. First off, we’ll go over what you should expect from a limo company, then what you should expect from your limousine service and driver. Lastly we’ll discuss your end of the deal and what that looks like. What are you expected to do? How are you supposed to act? Is it rude to ask the driver to put the window up? What kind of social rules are there? Are there any social rules?First things first, you’re going to feel the need to do some research in limo prices, that’s fine, do that—it is important, but keep in mind they tend to be pretty competitive, so don’t waste too much time on this step. Now, let’s go over limousine rental in general. After you narrow down your options, if you have the chance, it would be a good idea to stop by. If not, simply pay attention to how well you are treated over the phone. You’ll get a gut feeling; go with it. That’s the best piece of advice you can take. If you aren’t comfortable, there’s a problem. Ask about the vehicles. How old are they? Are they maintained regularly by professionals? The last thing you’ll need on your special night is your “luxurious sedan” screaming “CHEAP LIMO SERVICES HERE!” Speaking of which, ask if there are any billboards on the side of your potential Chrysler 300 limo. Sometimes there will be ads on the side or back, just make sure you’re comfortable with whatever limo you end up with. You probably don’t want a big surprise when it comes to your limousine company, am I right? With regards to your driver, when this person (for the purposes of this article let’s make this one a man,) when he shows up, under no circumstances should you detect alcohol in his breath or behavior. I hate to state the obvious, but sometimes when one finds themselves partying it doesn’t occur to one that there is a possibility one’s driver is less than responsible—take notice. Make sure, for your own benefit and the livelihood of all, that this is in fact, a generally safe situation. Very, very few limo companies have this problem, but who will know for sure, but you? Expect your driver to look sharp and treat you like royalty—okay, you aren’t the Queen Mum, but you are a paying customer, you are a respectful person (assuming you are indeed a respectful person) regardless, this is your night and you should be having fun. You shouldn’t compromise even if it is one of the cheap limos. Speaking of manners, on your side of things, what are you doing here? Can you drink? Will there be free Champagne in the back? What’s going on with the tip? Is it included? Here’s your million dollar advice: ask! Each company follows their own policy. Some may have a gratuity chart based on number of riders in the car, a seasonal limo rate, or they may leave it completely up to you. It entirely depends on the company. They should be upfront about everything. If they make you uncomfortable about asking (even a stupid question,) find someone else. These companies expect you to ask all the questions you’ve got and they plan to answer with specific answers including limo quotes for specific vehicles. Don’t be afraid to ask. Oh, and with regards to the window—it’s there for you. Even if you’re alone in the back, there’s no need for forced small talk. If there are two of you alone in the back, the driver may appreciate not knowing the details.
