LimousinesLimo service – top 10 questions you want answered before you jump in. The luxury of a limo service is usually for a special occasion, perhaps a wedding, a graduation or a funeral.

You want to know what kind of vehicle you’ll get. You can go for a mini bus, min van or stretch limo to carry more passengers. You may also think about optional extras. Cars can come equipped with facilities like bars, phones, TVs or fridges.

You want reassurance that the driver is a professional chauffeur. You want reassurance that they have qualifications and experience. Look into how your driver will behave while he is with you. If your event is a date, maybe the man would like to open and close the doors for the lady himself, rather than having the chauffeur do it. Or you might want the chauffeur to do this for you at every pick up and drop off.

Also bear in mind that how your driver dresses is up to you. A driver will usually have a company uniform, but you may want a special outfit or casual clothing. If your rental is for several hours or the whole day, think about when your driver will have a break or some food.

Let your service provider know exactly where you will be picked up and dropped off, how many people there will be, how long you want the car for, how many journeys there are and at what times. For small children, make sure a child carrier is included.

Get a quote. Ideally you should shop around, as prices vary widely. Make sure you and the service provider have agreed a price that includes everything before your special event. Keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. Decide what your event is worth to you, and based on that, either splash out or economize.

You want to know what will happen in an emergency. There should be a twenty four hour help desk and someone there to take your call. This is especially important if you are renting your limo out of office hours or on a weekend.

Some limo companies are specialist. Remember that some companies specialize in areas such as transporting entertainers or high level government officials. If you are looking to get to or from the airport in style, or to arrive at a party with a flourish, these companies will not be suitable for you. Look for a company with a more public focus.

You want to know what other people have said about your service provider. Look out for customer reviews of events similar to yours either in the company’s paperwork or on-line. Make sure these reviews are positive.

Your service provider should be a reliable, experienced and established company. In other words, that they have several years of experience in the industry, and they are an established company. Remember it’s possible to start a limo company with just one car and one driver. You would be better off with a company that has a large fleet and several members of staff at its disposal. This type of company will in all likelihood offer you a better quality of service.

If you’re wondering whether to call your company a few days before your booking and reconfirm all the details, the answer is yes. Make sure everything is as you want it and have all the details repeated back to you.

It’s a tall order to find the right limo service at a good price. With your top 10 questions answered, you’re well on your way to success.
