3 Tips for Choosing the Right NYC Limo for Your Occasion

June 25, 2010

For a night out in NYC for a bachelor party, the white Escalade luxury limo is a great choice.

So you’ve made the decision to rent a NYC limo. Now the only problem is figuring out what kind of limo to rent. Limousine companies often have many different kinds of limos, ranging from party bus limos to wedding limos. How you choose your limo will depend on a few factors. Ask yourself these questions and use these guidelines to choose the correct limo for your special occasion.

How many people do you have in your party? If you have a small party of two, such as the bride and groom at their wedding, you will want to choose the Rolls Royce wedding limo that seats up to three people. If you have a medium sized party, you should try the Chrysler 300c luxury limousine that seats between 6-8 people. For a huge party you may want to try the Hummer H2 limo or a Motor Coach luxury limo party bus, depending on the occasion.

What is the occasion? The NYC limo you choose depends greatly on the occasion. For instance, if you are renting a limo for a bachelorette party, the pink Hummer H2 limo is a must-have. For a bachelor party, the yellow or white Hummer H2 is a great choice as well as the Motor Coach luxury limo party bus if you have over 26 passengers or the Cadillac Escalade luxury limousine if you have between 12-24 passengers. For a night out in NYC with all of your friends you must rent the Motor Coach luxury limo party bus, complete with ice bins, glasses and flutes as well as a CD sound system, TV and DVD player. There are also occasions that call for limos when you don’t care to be flashy, such as a funeral. Many people rent limos for the family of the deceased person to ride in. For this situation the black Lincoln Town Car limo would be a good choice.

What is your price range? Obviously the more people, the larger the limo, the more expensive it will be to rent. If you are planning to get a group together and rent a limo for fun, figure out how many people are coming and split the cost so you are able to rent a limo that can accommodate everyone. If you are planning a wedding and need a limo, make sure to get the correct size and style that fits your budget. If you want a more intimate experience for two, the vintage Rolls Royce wedding limo is great for just the bride and groom, then you can arrange for your wedding party to be transported in a white Lincoln Town Car limo or the Chrysler 300c luxury limo.

The style of the limo all depends on what occasion you are renting it for, the price and how many people you need to accommodate. So whether it’s a wedding, business event, night out, prom or funeral, make sure you study the limo models, how many people they seat and keep your budget in mind. When choosing the limo company, make sure to read reviews from other customers and ask for testimonials. Following these guidelines will surely get you the correct limo for your special occasion.

Reward Your Recent Graduate with a NYC Limo Ride

June 4, 2010

Celebrate your student's accomplishment with an evening in NYC and a limo!

It’s almost graduation time for those high school seniors, and what better way to celebrate than taking your graduate out in New York City (or New Jersey or Connecticut) in a limo? Whether your son or daughter has just graduated college or high school or even 8th grade, a NYC limo is the perfect way to celebrate this milestone in both of your lives.

Don’t just take your graduate out to dinner at Applebee’s with the family like you do every other weekend. Rent a limo, gather up 3 of their best friends and your immediate family and take everyone out to a nice restaurant in downtown NYC for dinner. Since riding in a limo isn’t something your child does every day, it will be an extra special way to celebrate and a great memory for one of the most important days of his or her life.

Celebrities have the idea. Teri Hatcher, actress best-known for her role on the TV show, Desperate Housewives was spotted taking her 13-year-old daughter, Emerson, out to dinner in a limo to celebrate her 8th grade graduation (read the story here). Your son or daughter will feel like a celebrity for a night in NYC in a glamorous limo. There are plenty of other fun activities you can do to celebrate your child’s rite of passage into high school, college or the real world, such as:

  • Throw your graduate a surprise party at your local party center. Have a limo pick them up at your home and take them to and from the party.
  • Take your graduate sightseeing around NYC in a limo. Whether you’re a New Yorker, or visiting from another state, being taken around the city in a limo will be like nothing you and your graduate have ever experienced.
  • If your graduate is of the legal drinking age (college graduate), take them on a Long Island limo wine tour. It’s a sleek, sophisticated way to celebrate graduating college and stepping into the real world.
  • Take your graduate shopping around NYC or to see a sports game in a limo. He or she will feel like a star and never forget what a special day they had with their family.

No matter what you choose to do to celebrate this important milestone in your child’s life, remember to plan ahead to avoid stress. Also remember to be safe and have the time of your life. Your child only graduates from high school or college once, so enjoy this special moment and make sure they do the same.
