If you’re not an experienced party planner, then renting a limousine can be a highly frustrating experience. You have to find a company that accommodates to the entire party’s needs, that’s well within your budget range and a company that offers services that everyone can enjoy. So how do you go about renting out a limousine company and how do you look for a service that incorporates all of those necessary things?
Your Budget
One of the first things you need to figure out is just how many people are going to need picked up and budget out all of those details accordingly. Your budget will determine just about every level of the experience that can be given to the party or event guests. From how many amenities are in the limousine or how many stops the limousine can make (travel distance wise), all of this will incorporate into your budget as to what you can afford or not. Map out your budget and work with the party planner to make sure you can afford it.
Find out just how many people are going and find out exactly what you want to include inside of the limousine when planning out your budget.
Services Rendered
Does the company you’re looking into even offer half of the services and amenities that all of your party guests want? You have to make sure all of the services offered match up with not only your budget but your needs as well. Some limousine companies offer basic services such as a one-two way shuttle and some of them offer endless amounts of stops as long as they’re paid extra. Some of them will also offer stretch hummer limousines which can be quite costly compared to a normal limousine and are usually better off saved for special occasions.
The Hunt
When you’re looking for a limousine company or any kind of company for that matter to purchase services from, it’s usually a good idea NOT to go with the very first company you find. Some of these companies might be overcharging you or offering poor quality services so if you don’t do your research into the companies, you might be being taken advantage of. Doing proper adequate research on a company will save you time, money and frustration in the long run and your guests will be happier knowing you’ve picked the best limousine service.
You can search on the internet, you can ask a friend for a personal refer or you can go by word of mouth of others, but still don’t take their word for it. Do your research on the internet and look for reviews on these companies and if anyone has actually used these services and what these people think of them.
Calling Them
Remember, when you find a service you like, talk to them so you can get an idea of what kind of service they offer beforehand before you make any purchasing decisions.
Be precise and clear about what you want, your requirements and what you expect of them. Make sure they understand what your budget is and don’t be afraid to tell them that you’re currently interviewing other companies and services so that they’ll be in the sales mentality to offer you the best deal possible.
