Homeschool Facts

Planning a Quinceanera involves a lot of preparation. Sometimes one thing that is overlooked is the travel arrangement. How will you arrive at the church and reception? An option would be to rent a limo. Not only for convenience but elegance and comfort as well. You want to arrive in style at your destination.

When you rent a limousine and hire driver there are several things to consider to ensure a carefree event. This is to make the most of your expenditure.

Research limousine companies as early as possible especially if your special event occurs on a public holiday or on favorite wedding months in the summer or spring.

Ask the company how many cars they have available. In case the one you order happens to breakdown, you have to make sure you will have a replacement.

It would be in your best interest to do a background check on the company to check if they are not blacklisted. You can check with the Better Business Bureau. Also, make sure they are licensed.

There are different types of limos available. If you have the money, luxury limos are also available. Consider your necessity and budget when choosing your limo.

Ask for images of the limousine for both the exterior and interior. And if you have time, it would be best to visit the company and view the actual limousines.

There are different colors and sizes of limousines. Be specific when ordering the limo. The size and color you want, the number of passengers, location of the event. Consider the route to your destination; some narrow roads can’t accommodate too long or too wide cars.

Make sure the operator understands where exactly you want to be picked up, time as well as the return trip if necessary.

Renting a limousine usually requires a 50% deposit at the time of reservation. Check payment and cancellation procedures before signing anything. Ask what options of payment you have for the remaining balance. You should know all the rules beforehand. If there is a cancellation you might lose some part of the deposit.

Check the minimum number of hours required for rental. Most limousine operators require 2-3 hours minimum rental.

Be prepared to fork out a 20% tip for the driver if it’s not already included in the price.

Ask if they offer any beverages, chocolates etc. as complimentary items.

Inquire about insurance policies. Is it covered in the price?

Have a written contract before you part with your money. Make sure everything you discussed is stated in the contract.

Be informed if the driver knows the area well and if they will be in uniform. Discuss the driver’s services such as opening the door etc.

Make sure you know the driver’s service experience. A driver who is not well dressed and courteous does not make a luxurious limo complete.

So before you sign the contract, make sure you have gone through the checklist mentioned above. Do your homework and rest assured you will enjoy your special and memorable day.
