A limo ride is one kind of luxury that everyone must experience at least once in his or her lifetime. For the uninitiated, renting a limo could be scary because of the idea that it is very pricey. In reality, you could rent a limo and travel in luxury without breaking the bank.

Unless you are wallowing in riches, you should try your best hiring a limo on a budget. There are ways to do that, which include the following:

  • Comparison shopping – There are plenty of limousine companies out there, waiting for your business. Check with the different limousine companies about their rates and terms. You might be able to find a good deal by checking around. Call their customer service and ask for written quotes.
  • Compare the quotes – Do not just look for the lowest rate but also look for the best services offered. One company may be dirt-cheap but their service might be very basic. You will not enjoy the luxury you are looking for with that kind of service.
  • Travel with friends – If attending an important event is the reason why you are renting a limo, you can reduce your expenses by traveling with friends who will share with you the cost of the limo rental. Most limo companies charge by car, not by the number of passengers. If you and your friends are attending the same event, there is no point renting a limo for each one of you. In addition to saving on the rent, it is more fun traveling with friends. If you and your friends are attending a prom, you will make the event very memorable by spending time with friends on the limo ride.
  • Be careful about hidden prices – Some limo companies earn extra money by hiding from the customers some hidden fees. As a matter of practice, limo companies will factor in the cost of fuel in determining the rental amount for the limo. When the limo company makes a quote for the price, ask the company if it includes the gas, parking, toll fee, and the gratuity for the driver. If those items are not included, at least you are ready to pay for the extras.
  • Negotiate the price – Limo companies will give you their quotes when you check for prices. Nobody will stop you from negotiating the price. For all you know, you could get a big discount when business is slow.

Enjoy the luxury of traveling in a limo but you don’t have to spend all your savings for the ride of your life. There are ways to lower your expenses.

1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II (black)

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is an automobile produced by Rolls-Royce from April 1955 to March 1966. It was the core model of the Rolls-Royce range during that period. The Silver Cloud replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J. P. Blatchley design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation the Bentley S1 is very similar, apart from its radiator grill. This particular vehicle is our newest addition to the fleet and was acquired in November 2016. It has right-hand drive and red leather interior.
