What is a normal limo rate?
Answer - Because there are many variables such as (year of the limo - newer/older), time of day, weekday or weekend, one-way/roundtrip etc., each company will quote slightly different rates. Remember, this is mostly a service industry and rates can reflect services so it is strongly suggested NOT to make your decision purely based on the "lowest rate". In most cases, these are much older cars, drivers working for lower pay which WILL most often be reflected in their professionalism etc.

How many people can fit in a limo?
Answer - Limos come in all sizes these days. A typical stretch limo can hold 6-7 passengers comfortably, although there are SUV stretch vehicles that can hold up to 20+ people like a H2 Hummer, Escalade or Navigator. For party groups, you might consider asking about a mini party bus for full size bus for corporate travel or larger groups. - TOP OF PAGE

If my plane is late, is there extra charges?
Answer - Depending on "how late" your flight is! Usually, most limo service provider's will allow up to 30 minutes at no charge. Beyond that, you should expect a reasonable waiting-charge...but for airport transfers, ask ahead of time! - TOP OF PAGE

What year is the limo I'm renting?
Answer - Just ask when you speak to the limo service provider. Most companies use newer vehicles that are no older than 2 years. But beware, companies charging rates too low are suspect for using older vehicles and your safety should be more important that saving $5-20 per hour, right? - TOP OF PAGE
What is the cancellation policy?
Answer - Depending on the type of limo and the event... you can expect a cancellation fee of some sort should you cancel your reservation at the last minute. This is why some companies ask for a deposit that is non-refundable or with specific cancellation terms. - TOP OF PAGE
Can I get a corporate discount?
Answer - Sure! Most limo service provider's encourage corporate accounts since they are a steady stream of business for them, particularly during the business hours of the day when their cars are more likely to be idle. - TOP OF PAGE
Are rates lower during certain times of the day or week?
Answer - You bet! Unless you absolutely have to have limo service on a Friday, Sat, or Sun... you can always get a better rate mid-week because demand is usually lower on those days. Regarding hours... evenings will always be higher so unless needed for a particular event, try daytime hours for better rates. - TOP OF PAGE
Will the limo driver be wearing a suit?, tux?, or be casual?
Answer - While most limo service providers demand their drivers to look professional, a shirt and tie is common. Depending on the event and time of day, you can make a request for a particular look. You can even arrange to meet your driver in advance if you ask. - TOP OF PAGE
