Limo Rentals for Prom Night
Many high schoolers can’t think of their prom without thinking about getting a limo for the big occasion. If only they put that much thought into choosing their limo! It may seem uncool to “research” a limo, but just imagine how cool you’ll be on the night of the big dance when you pull up in a luxurious stretch —all thanks to the little bit of homework.
Follow this these simple rules and you’ll be sure to have the prom of your dreams.
Step 1. Be polite, patient, and prepared to call around. Prom night surely is a big night for high schoolers, but it’s also one heck of a night for limo companies. Many of them will have their whole fleet booked up. So expect to have to call around to several places to find an opening for the right limo, and be on your best behavior during each call. You want the limo company to hook you up, right? Not hang up.
Step 2. Ask around for trusted referrals. One sure way to cut down on the number of places you’ll need to call is to talk to friends and family members who recently rented a limo. Maybe your cousin used one at her wedding and had a great experience.
Step 3. Check up on your A-list of companies. Once you have a list of possible rental companies, based on your referrals and your calls, get one last referral. Check with the Better Business Bureau or another local business organization. People tend to report on sketchy companies, so the more complaints you find, the farther away from that company you should stay.
Step 4. Make sure you sign on the dotted line. No matter where you get your limo, get everything in writing: the pickup time, the amount of hours you plan to use it, the make, model, and year of the limo you want. If you did steps 1, 2, and 3 correctly, many times this contract is just an unnecessary precaution. But on the other hand, there are a lot of horror stories about double bookings out there. Or how about that story about a prom group paying for a stretch Escalade, only to have a 1979 Hearse pull up in front of their house?
Step 5. Give yourself an out. Just in case there is any reality-TV-like drama before your prom—canceled dates, friends who won’t pay up, etc.—be certain that your limo company has a cancellation policy. Trust us, limo companies are used to last-minutes change ups, so don’t be embarrassed to ask about the policy—and receive a copy of it in print.
Lastly, have fun. We could tell you not to do anything immoral in the back of that limo, but we’ll leave that speech for your parents.
