subject: Bride's Guide to Choosing a Wedding Limo Service [print this page] If you're looking for wedding limo service, it's essential to start off investigating limousine rental companies 3 to 7 months prior to the wedding. Especially when it comes to wedding limousine rental, you want to eliminate as many variables as possible, right?The last thing you want to worry about on your wonderful wedding day is your limo company.
To help eliminate the stress of renting a limo for your wedding, I put together a short article with a few key tips and tricks. We will look at interview questions and steps you can take to ensure you get hitched without a hitch.
To begin, many wedding limo services, large reservations will require a deposit. Deposits are standard among limo rentals and a good way to ensure your car is available on the big day. The amount required for a deposit varies from company to company, but be sure you understand the terms of the deposit. This leads me to my next point.
Make sure you get a Crystal clear agreement with your limousine service provider. Your contract should clearly outline the following criteria -
Total price of limo rental
Exactly how much it costs if you have to have the limo after the agreed-upon time
Time of pick-up
Deposit criteria - such as how much is required, when you can cancel, and the percentage of your deposit you will be refunded
The EXACT Limousine you are reserving
With a contract covering the criteria above you are well on your way to the stress-free wedding experience you're looking for. A few often forgetten elements mentioned above are the price of overtime and getting the exact car you reserved.
Overtime is very common with weddings so be sure you have the price for every hour you go over in writing. There's nothing worse than getting stuck with an extra $500 because you went a half-hour over your time. Second, it's important to get the car you reserved in writing because unscrupulous companies may try to swap out a cheaper car at the last minute. Getting the make, model, and year of limo you reserved will protect you against such companies.
A few guidelines for making your wedding limo rental experience that much easier -
Call and interview potential limousine service companies ahead of time
It's important to know who you will be dealing with. The less you have to worry about on your big day the easier right?
Start by identifying 3-5 limo companies in your area. Pre-qualify them and then go in to a more in-depth interview.
First, you want to make sure they are licensed by the state to provide limousine rental and driving services. Next, be sure they can handle the size of your group and have cars availabe on the big day. Finally, be sure they have options within your budget.
After weeding out those who can't meet your needs, select your top choices and launch into your interview.
Here are a few interview questions to ask your limo services candidates prior to the wedding:
Do you provide all the cars yourself or broker for other limo companies?
Are you state licensed?*
How much time do you have to cancel?
How much of your deposit will you get back if you cancel?
How long have they been in business
Can you see the vehicles prior to the wedding?
What will the chaufeeur wear, what is their experience?
In summary, remember to always get a written agreement from your limo service company. Take time to research companies well before the wedding so you can find the friendly and professional wedding limousine rental provider you want.
