Planning for a special event such as a Quinceanera entails months of preparation from venue, to catering, dresses, flowers and much more. One of the important things to plan but sometimes overlooked is how you plan to arrive to the venue on the actual day. Well, renting a limousine is highly recommended for elegance and as well as for comfort.
To ensure a carefree event and to make the most of your investment, there are several things you need to take note of when renting a limousine and hiring a driver.
In the summer and spring months, limo services are at their busiest because of weddings etc. If your Quinceanera is around this time make sure to do your research as soon as possible. You don't want to be disappointed and not have a limo for your special day.
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.
If you have time you should do a background check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the company you choose is licensed or if it's blacklisted.
There are several styles of limos available. If you want to go all out, there are glamorous limos with luxury features by BMW, Hummer, etc. When you choose your limo consider your budget and the necessity.
You should see the limousines interior and exterior in person if possible. If you don't have the time, ask for images of the limos.
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.
Discuss with the driver exactly where and what time you want to be picked up as well as the return trip.
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.
Ask how many hours are required for rental. Some companies require 2-3 hours rental.
Ask if the tip for the driver is included in the price. If not, you will have to fork out about 20% to tip the driver on the day of the event.
Enquire what complimentary items are offered such as drinks, chocolates, etc.
Check for insurance policies and if it's covered in the price.
Have a written contract before you part with your money. Make sure everything you discussed is stated in the contract.
Discuss the driver services. Are they experienced and know the area well? Ask if the driver will wear a uniform and what personal services are included, like opening the door, etc.
Enquire about the driver's service experience; a luxurious limo is not complete without a driver who is well dressed and courteous.
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.
