What better way to make a bachelor or bachelorette party completely unforgettable, than to hire a limousine service. A limo can be a great way to coordinate a night out, and provide a designated driver who is intimately familiar with the new york city streets to carry you and your party from point A to point B safely, and in superb luxury.
However, hiring a limousine service can be confusing, and the procedures are not common knowledge. Limousine companies exist on a spectrum of quality and customer service from extremely poor, to world-class. Here are some instructions to help you navigate the hiring process so you have the best NYC Bachelor and Bachelorette Party Limo experience.
1. Decide on your budget. How much is each person in the party willing to chip in? How much can you afford? Depending on the company the length of the ride and the style or size of the vehicle can vary greatly.
2. Find companies that fit your needs. Make sure the company offers an appropriate vehicle for your party. It’s always a good idea to see it in person before making the reservation.
3. Decide how long the party will last. Most companies charge by hour, so if you know in advance how long you’ll have the limo, it will help negotiate the best prices.
4. Proof of Insurance. The company should be able to show you their proof of insurance to protect their passengers.
5. Booking Confirmation. Once you’ve booked your party with the limo service they should send a confirmation to guarantee you the vehicle you requested.
6. Make sure that it is not a shared ride. In some cases people have rented limos only to find that it was booked with another party and you have to ride with strangers. It sounds odd, but it happens.
7. Cancellation policy. Most companies will charge a penalty or refuse to give a full refund, depending on how far in advance you cancel.
8. Confirm. Always call two days prior to the event to confirm your reservation.
