Question:  What kinds of questions should I ask a limousine company before I rent from them?

Answer:  Important things to know include:

• How many years they have been in the business

• The year and condition of the particular car you will be renting

• Whether the price they have given you all inclusive or are there additional charges, such as gratuity or fees

• Are extras such as beverages or decorations included

• What is their cancellation policy?

• Do they expect a deposit? (Note - this typically applies for hourly rentals, not airport transfers)

• Are there any complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau and, if so, have the complaints been satisfactorily resolved?

Question:  What are the average prices to rent the various kinds of limos?

Answer:  The prices vary greatly between regions, the time of the year, day of the week, and the business model of the company you choose.  Some companies offer lower prices, but seek higher volumes of clients.  The business model of other companies is to charge a bit more, but provide excellent service.  Getting good service is another important factor to consider in addition to price.  Keeping in mind the variation due to region and time of year, the following are average price ranges for various cars:

Sedan Hourly rate:  $40.00 - $60.00 an hour

6 Passenger Limo Hourly Rate:  $50.00 - $70.00 an hour

8 Passenger Limo Hourly Rate:  $60.00 - $80.00 an hour

10 Passenger Limo Hourly Rate:  $65.00 - $85.00 an hour

16 Passenger Stretch SUV:  $95.00 - $135.00 an hour
