Your prom is a very special night, and you want everything to run as smoothly as possible. Here is what you need to do as far as limo rentals are concern:
1. Set a budget - Once you have an idea of how many people will be riding in your prom group, talk to everyone about how much they will be willing to spend so that you can split cost. Depending on the type of limo you rent, this will cost anywhere between thirty bucks to hundreds per person depending on the number of people in your group and the limo you choose.
2. Do some research - Compare vehicles and prices before you settle on a limo rental company. Most reliable limo rentals have detailed websites that provide information about prices and limos. Things to consider include price costs, how long you're allowed to cruise around town in the limo either before or after the prom, and what is the maximun number of guests allow in the limo.
3. Make the call - Call three to four weeks in advance, to make sure you can secure a limo. If you live in a small city with only a few dealers, plan on calling a month-and-a-half before prom night. Often times, several proms fall on the same weekend, and limos will be snapped up faster than that great prom dress you have your eyes on!
4. Book it - Once you decide on a limo, book it. A deposit will most likely be required - expect to pay between 25% and 35% of the final balance. Before you sign anything, request a copy of the cancellation policy, rental contract, and reservation number.
5.Follow up - Confirm your reservation a few days in advance. Make sure the driver has the correct address and route, to ensure that you and your group will be picked up on time and delivered to the prom promptly. Get the driver's cell phone number.
