SMART QUESTIONS
Following are a few examples of questions you may want to ask of the limo rentals companies…

How long has the limousine company been in business?

Do they have any recent references or letters of recommendation they can provide?
This is up to you if you want or need any recommendations.

How many limousines do they have in their fleet?

What types/colors of limousines are available for your specified date?

What year(s) are their limousines?

Do the vehicles have air conditioning/heat that can be controlled from the passenger area?
I really think this is so important for you to see before you get any limo rentals.

Do they carry “commercial” liability and medical insurance for their passengers?
(You will want a copy of the “certificate of insurance” when you rent.) This is a must to be all secure and happy.

What are the costs? Some have minimum hour requirements while some have a package price for pickup and drop off only. Some also have hourly plus mileage charges. You will have to determine which pricing option best suits your needs.

What is included in the cost? Some charge portal to portal which means that you pay for driving time to and from the limousine rental company to your designated location while other companies charge only from the time the limousine arrives at your location. Some limousine companies also offer extra services, i.e. champagne service, a red carpet rollout, etc. with or without additional cost.(make sure)

How are the drivers’s dressed? Some limousine companies have a uniform standard while others do not. If the driver is going to be seen, the appearance of the driver is as important as the appearance of the vehicle. You must inspect this beforehand…many cases we have seen that the limo driver is looking like a regular driver non professional, so you better ask.

Is gratuity included in the rental cost? Some include the gratuity in the rental cost, some allow you to set the amount of the gratuity and others automatically tack on gratuity charges ranging from 10% to 20% of the rental. This is really important too…if not you may get confused by the end.

Are you able to have alcoholic beverages in the vehicle? This may or may not be an important factor to consider, since you are only fifteen/sixteen..

Quinceanera on Board If you are renting the limousine for a Quinceanera and want to display a “Quinceanra on Board” sign, can it be attached to the vehicle? If so, is there a cleaning/polishing charge?

BOOKING THE LIMOUSINE

Assuming that you have narrowed the limousine rentals company selection down to the one you think you want to book you will want to reserve your limousine. If possible you will want to visit the company to look at their vehicles and specifically at the vehicle you will be renting. You will most likely be required to pay a deposit to reserve the vehicle and you will want to have a “RENTAL CONTRACT” that guarantees that you are going to get what you ordered. The contract should specifically outline the date of service, the arrival time(s) and locations, the color, make, model and year (and license number) of the vehicle, and the costs of the rental as well as cancellation and deposit refund policies. You will also want a copy of their “Certificate of Insurance” to make sure that you and your passengers are covered in case of an accident. Payment by credit card can give you more leverage should something go wrong if the fault of the limousine rentals company
