There are plenty of limousine companies and cars to choose from, making the selection of a limo service a challenging activity. A little research will go a long way in choosing the best limo service available in your area.
There is a trove of information available on the Internet that could help you in your choice of limo service. Almost all businesses have their online presence today, which makes it easy for the consumer to dig some information about any company. Start with an online window-shopping of limo companies in your area. Check their rates, their services, and other information that may help you in making the decision.
References and reviews
It is the practice of consumers today to check for references and consumer reviews of a product or company before making any commitment to purchase or hire. The practice applies also to limo companies. Find out the customers who have done business with a limo company and listen to what they say about the service they received. Most consumers give an honest and non-biased assessment of the type of service they received from a limo company.
Years in business
Any company that has been in business for many years must be doing well to stay that long in business. Find out how long the limo company you are considering has been rendering service to the public. You should not, however, limit your choice to companies that have been in business for so long. There are new companies also that might be offering good service because they hired experienced staff.
The limo fleet
Check the fleet of the limo company. Big limo companies usually have a wider selection of vehicles, which include stretch limos, custom-built trolleys, party buses, shuttle buses, stretch SUVs, and vans. A company with a fleet smaller than five vehicles may be considered a small company.
Check the vehicles personally
For a major event, such as a wedding, make sure to personally check the vehicles to be rented. The vehicles may not appear exactly the same as seen in the pictures. Check the vehicles inside and out. Do not get the surprise of your life to be picked up by a limo that is beautiful on the outside but quite dilapidated on the inside.
Negotiate the price
Do not just rely on the advertised price of a limo rental. Many limo companies try to make extra money by hiding some charges in the fine prints of the agreement. The limo company could charge you for fuel surcharges, mileage, administrative costs, toll fees, and gratuity for the driver. Make sure that the final price will be inclusive of all charges. You are also allowed to negotiate for the price. Negotiation could possibly bring down the advertised price of the limo rental.
Word of mouth
Ask your family and friends if they can recommend to you a good limo company that they have done business with in the past. A first-hand referral could be a good way of selecting a limo company.
Before you signed your name on the dotted line of the rental agreement, ask questions about the safety of the vehicle, such as insurance, government permit, inspection reports and others which may help you in your decision making.
