How To Avoid Overspending On A Wedding-Day Limo
How To Avoid Overspending On A Wedding-Day Limo
When it comes to planning your Wedding Day, the Limo usually isn't the first thing on your mind. In fact, it's often one of the last things to arrange, and many make the mistake of renting a Wedding Limousine for a few hours, thinking the booking will cover transportation from their Wedding site to the reception site, with time for pictures of the wedding party inbetween.
Unfortunately, three hours often isn't enough time. For example, many New York wedding parties stopped for pictures in Central Park, and the traffic alone to and from the park maxed out the booking for their limousine.
- If you ran out of time and booked your limo during May, June, and July, then you will be stuck calling cabs for the wedding party, because Limousine providers do not guarantee overtime during the "Wedding Months" due to demand.
- If you didn't rent your limo during the wedding season, overtime is usually double the regular rate. And payment is expected at drop-off. In cash. Who brings cash to a wedding?
Your best bet is to book your limo one hour over your base estimate, using the extra hour as breathing room to cover traffic problems or other types of delays. It's an extra hour of cost, but it beats being stranded in the park with the rest of the wedding party.
If you want to go the extra mile to ensure you have absolutely no overage, you can use online tools like Google Maps to break down the your route and calculate the distance.
Finally, you should also choose a Limousine service that you know can adequately cover the wedding. For example, I recently called aStretchOut Limousines for a friend's wedding based on some quick research. They've been in covering weddings for several years, so they seemed like a good bet. When I scheduled my reservation, a transportation specialist who knew the New York/New Jersey area went over the route with me to ensure that we avoided busy highways. An experienced chauffeur was also assigned to the wedding, who later ensured that we reached our wedding reception as soon as possible.
