By Adriana Noton


Renting a limo for your special day provides an extra special touch. This will help relieve some of the tension. The wedding limo can start from small to stretch, depending upon your taste. You have to consider your budget, if the wedding party will be included and at what time you want to use limo.

You may want to start research on limos, approximately six months before your wedding. Planning ahead can increase your chances of getting the vehicle of your choice. Limousines have various prices but usually are available on a hourly basis. One of the greatest factors in choosing a limousine will be your budget. The next factor will be whether or not the wedding party will be accommodated in the vehicle.

Once an agreement has been made on the number of passengers, a vehicle that fits the description can be secured. A regular limo normally seats between 10 and 14 passengers. A limousine bus has the capacity for 32 passengers. Your extremely, luxurious, stretched limos can become more expensive. You will need to check your contract, but a tip is usually an expected, and extra expense that can account for up to 20 percent more on your bill.

Your regular limousine should have amenities, such as bar and sink, DVD with surround sound equipment, windows that are tinted. You want to be certain before making a decision. It is good to know your personal preferences when deciding on a vehicle. Glasses, napkins and ice are normally standard items for the bar but do not forget to request them. Champagne is available upon request and for an additional fee.

When picking a business, locate those that are credible and have a good reputation. You should choose a company that has some years of experience. Individuals involved in wedding planning and wedding products, sometimes have knowledge of special packages or referrals for companies. Make an inquiry about insurance coverage and ask for proof of insurance. All licenses for limousine fleet and drivers should be updated.

You can begin by calling companies and searching websites. The company should know the date, number of people and the location of pick up. Eliminating a list down to three business is a manageable task. Go to the three companies and ask for an inspection of the vehicles.

The main objective after checking with the companies is to pick one and sign a contract. Read the contract diligently and be sure it addresses all need and concerns. The contract should be inclusive of, number of hours of rental, pick up location, and any additional services. There should be an after hours contact number to be used for emergency purposes.

The key to getting your dream limo is to do early researching, planning and budgeting. Referrals is one way of checking a company that is reputable. You should confirm your weddings date pick up time and location about a week before the event. You can fax a copy of your special day agenda to the company a week in advance so driver will know what to expect. Just remember to stay calm and enjoy your day no matter what happens.
