Limo to Prom?

Not everyone has the opportunity to sport themselves in a sweet limo on prom night. The fact is some of us just don’t realize the true cost of this service. The reality is that a night on the town with a full service limo escort can be less expensive than most people are aware of.

It is true that there are just as many options when dealing with a limo service as there are when dealing with a rental car service. You have different levels, and ranging upgrades, that can all equal an expensive trip. And yet it is possible to float to prom night in a stretch, black limo for less than the price of a meal for two at a fancy restaurant. It is all about doing your homework.

Some companies offer complimentary discounts for prom services while others can be available for compromise. You will never know the true discounts that are available if you never ask. So be aware that some services offer ‘request only’ discounts.

It is also amazing to see the types of limo’s that are available for rental. You can choose from standard town cars, and extended luxury Chryslers, to the extravagant stretch Hummers, Suburban, Expedition, and even the ultimate 16 person extended party buses. There are fleets of differing rides all waiting to cruise you in style to the nearest prom.

You can outsmart the system by designating a reserve point where you, your date, and the limo meet up, preferably closer to the destination, and this will allow you to receive a nice ride to the prom in style, but also saving quite a bit in costs by simply cutting a few miles off the trip.

Not only do limo services charge a flat rate for the vehicle rental but they also charge per mile. So if you can manage to gather a small group of friends to split costs, car pool or reroute to a closer meeting place to cut miles off the arrival trip, you can save those miles for the after party (or just save the miles and money).
