Stretch limos are the vehicle of choice for wedding ceremonies and other occasions that require a luxurious and glamorous ride. While there are many limo companies out there, choosing one is a difficult decision to make because you have to consider several factors.

You do not hire the first limo for hire that you will encounter. You need to make a comparison of the different limo for hire companies in order to come up with your best choice. There are things to bear in mind when hiring a limo company.

Advanced booking

If you will be booking for a limo service at the last minute, you will likely end up with the oldest and poorest quality limo car the company has. It is because the newest and the best quality limo service are already booked up months in advance. If you will need a limo service during the peak season for weddings or parties, you better make your booking several months early. Otherwise, you will end up with the limo cars that nobody wanted to hire.

The pictures could be deceiving

When you look at the advertisements of limo companies, you might be impressed with the kind of limo cars that you will see. Do not make your reservation based on the limo cars that you saw in the ads. You might end up with a different looking limo on the day you will use it. The best thing is to personally see the limo cars available and make your choice. Specify in your order the model and the amenities included in the limo car that you selected.

Choose a stretch limo that can accommodate ten people

You don’t have to hire several vehicles to accommodate a large bridal party. It will be more fun traveling together in a single super stretch limo that can easily accommodate up to ten people. Traveling together to the wedding ceremony and the reception will be more fun than traveling in different vehicles. Choose a stretch limo with a fifth door down the middle to allow for easy getting in and out.

Give room to the bride

When deciding on the size of the lime to hire, count the bride as two people to give her enough room for her bulky wedding gown. Letting the bride sit in a space for a single passenger will quash her gown, which will be frustrating on the part of the groom because he will not be able to admire the beauty of the gown before it gets quashed in a cramped vehicle.

Schedule of the limo’s arrival

Don’t wait the limo chauffeur wait forever. Give an allowance for the picture taking before the bride rides the limousine. Give also some minutes for the bride to practice getting in and out of the limo, something that is difficult to do with her wedding gown.

Do not cause unnecessary stress by trying to save money on the limo time

You pay your limo service by the hour. You will pay less if the hours consumed by the limo service will be less. However, in trying to save some money, do not attempt to rush everything, from the ceremony to the picture taking.  Plan everything so that you the limo service will stay only as necessary.

The limo that you will hire will be a big part of the wedding. The limo will be included in the memories that will be created during the wedding. Do not save a few dollars by hiring an old and low-quality limo. Get the best limo service available.
