Planning for a special event such as a Quinceanera entails months of preparation from venue, to catering, dresses, flowers and much more. One of the important things to plan but sometimes overlooked is how you plan to arrive to the venue on the actual day. Well, renting a limousine is highly recommended for elegance and as well as for comfort.
When you rent a limousine and hire driver there are several things to consider to ensure a carefree event. This is to make the most of your expenditure.
Research limousine companies as early as possible especially if your special event occurs on a public holiday or on favorite wedding months in the summer or spring.
When you do your research, ask if they have ample cars available. This is very important. You have to make sure there is another limo available in case the one you order breaks down.
If you have time you should do a background check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the company you choose is licensed or if it's blacklisted.
There are different types of limos available. If you have the money, luxury limos are also available. Consider your necessity and budget when choosing your limo.
Ask for images of the limousine for both the exterior and interior. And if you have time, it would be best to visit the company and view the actual limousines.
Limousines come in different sizes and colors. Discuss in detail with the company about the specification that you want which includes the number of passengers, location of the event, preferred limousine color and the size of the car.
Make sure the operator understands where exactly you want to be picked up, time as well as the return trip if necessary.
It's also important to check the payment and cancellation procedures. Payment usually requires 50% deposit upon reservation. Ask about the method of payment for the balance as well as the cancellation charges. Most cases you would lose some part of the deposit depending on the cancellation time frame so it's best to know the rules beforehand.
Ask how many hours are required for rental. Some companies require 2-3 hours rental.
Ask whether the price quoted includes the driver gratuity. If it's not included, be prepared to fork out about 20% as tip to the driver on the actual day.
Ask if they offer any beverages, chocolates etc. as complimentary items.
Discuss insurance policies. Make sure you ask if it's included in the price.
Before you pay for anything, it is important to have a written contract stating everything included in the price.
Be informed if the driver knows the area well and if they will be in uniform. Discuss the driver's services such as opening the door etc.
Enquire about the driver's service experience; a luxurious limo is not complete without a driver who is well dressed and courteous.
So before you sign the contract, make sure you have gone through the checklist mentioned above. Do your homework and rest assured you will enjoy your special and memorable day. - 16492
