Whether you are thinking of renting a limousine for a prom, wedding, special event, or simply a trip to the airport, there are a number of important factors that you should consider. One you have decide on the rental date, the number of passengers, and generally the type of limousine you wish to rent, you should contact a number of limousine rental agencies and clear understanding of their price structure. Some services charge you from the time the driver leaves the limousine rental company until they reach your designated location. Other companies charge hourly rates and mileage and some have special packages that are all inclusive.

It is a good idea to ask about liability insurance for passengers and to inquire about the age of the limousine fleet. Other minor but important points are heating and cooling in the passenger compartment, and access to special amenities such as champagne or other beverages. You should expect to pay the driver a 10% - 20% gratuity unless it is included in the rental service charge. Be sure you ask so you are not double charged.

Finally, if you are looking to rent you limousine during a peak season (prom night for example), you should get started and secure your rental early. Limousine rental companies do run out of vehicles during peak periods, and the best limousines tend to get booked first.
