Wedding Limo Reduces Stress Of Big Day

By Adriana Noton


A limousine rental can put the final touches on your special day. This will take off some of the pressure of the day. The wedding limo can come in a wide range of styles and prices. You will have to decide on whether or not to include the individuals in the wedding, when you want to use limo and the budget.

You should begin the limousine search around six months of the wedding. Advance planning is paramount in the success of securing the vehicle of choice. Limousines have a wide range of prices but the majority provide service based on a hourly rate. The budget that has been set aside for a limousine will determine what is available. The number of people in the wedding party will determine the size of the vehicle.

A reservation can be secured after a decision is made on the amount of passengers that will be riding. A majority of limos seat 10 to 14 people. A limo bus is equipped to seat up to 32 people. Some of the fancy vehicles may be more expensive. You should check the tipping policy while reading your contract. The tip is usually an added expense that is not in the contract but expected at 20 percent over the limo cost, and given to the driver.

Your regular limousine should have amenities, such as bar and sink, DVD with surround sound equipment, windows that are tinted. You want to be certain before making a decision. It is good to know your personal preferences when deciding on a vehicle. Glasses, napkins and ice are normally standard items for the bar but do not forget to request them. Champagne is available upon request and for an additional fee.

The price of a company may be of importance but never forget about good customer service and reliability. The company should have a history of good performance and longevity. Those involved in wedding planning and retailing may know of packages or offer referrals of credible companies. A business should have updated licenses and full insurance coverage. It is the job of the customer to ask questions and make sure everything is in order.

As you begin your search, you can call up companies or search websites. The companies will need to know the date, how many people, and pick up location. You want to arrange to meet the top three companies. Ask them for a vehicle inspection. You want to insure that you are getting the most luxurious vehicle for the price you are paying.

The main objective after checking with the companies is to pick one and sign a contract. Read the contract diligently and be sure it addresses all need and concerns. The contract should be inclusive of, number of hours of rental, pick up location, and any additional services. There should be an after hours contact number to be used for emergency purposes.

Begin your planning at least six months in advance. Referrals are a nice source for finding a reputable business. You want to re-confirm you weddings date for about one to two weeks before the date. Double check the pick up time and location. If possible arrange for the limousine company to have your itinerary ahead of time.
