Best Time to Rent a Limousine in New York City

While 2012 is nearly coming to a close, 2013 is just around the corner. Are you prepared for all of the events and all of the parties headed towards NYC? It’s not too late to rent a limousine for any of the Christmas parties or events that may be going on but it’s best to rent out a limousine companies weeks or a couple of months in advance when it’s a national holiday as the main reason for renting one.

So while these events are just around the horizon, here are some 2013 events that you don’t want to miss out on your opportunity to rent a limousine in NYC.

December 31/January 1 – There are obviously going to be a load of New Year parties going on, and you don’t want to be left behind if you’re planning out a mega party to bring in the new year. That’s why the best time to call and rent a limousine company before-hand is right now. You’ve got at least a month’s notice (as of the time this was written) and you have a good chance of beating everyone else to renting one.

Upcoming Shows/Musicals

January (Every Day/All Month) – There is some musicals and events you don’t want to miss and what’s a better way to arrive to them than in style? Here is a list of some of the events in January in NYC alone.

Mamma Mia! – This is the story of a mother who’s in her 40s that is sure to keep you entertained while she’s planning her daughter’s wedding.

Phantom of the Opera – The story focuses on a Paris Opera house that’s being haunted by a mysterious figure. It’s an unforgettable experience and tale to experience live.

Stomp – If you’ve never witnessed or seen Stomp live, then you’re definitely not going to want to miss this event. Showing up in a limousine just adds to the fun and the excitement that you’ll be sure to experience when you see a group of people who use everyday objects like brooms and trash cans to create amazing sounds and music.

Spider Man: Turn off the Dark – This story focuses on the ever popular story of a science geek who’s continually bullied by his classmates and he’s forever taunted by his crush Mary Jane Watson.

Why Do I Need A Limousine For Any Of This?

In NYC, you don’t “NEED” a limousine or even a vehicle to get to these events, but if there’s one way to plan an unforgettable experience or trip, you should rent a limousine.

Also in the coming New Year, there will be a barrage of expos, events, major television hosted events and parties. There is no better way or classier way to show up to any of these events than in a limousine. Not only will you be sure to impress everyone there when you arrive, but it adds to the fun and makes the experience an unforgettable one.

In NYC, there are tons of taxis and limo companies so finding one should be no problem. However, you’re going to want to try to book one at least two weeks in advance because when these events come around, they tend to be quiet popular and busy.

What Can I Get In A Limousine Rental?

Anything you want! If you want a Jacuzzi, you can get it (you can’t carry as many passengers with this), you can have a themed party or just a smooth luxurious ride. You can literally get anything you want with a limousine rental.
