Limousines are snapped up pretty quickly during prom time, so, if you don’t like the idea of driving yourself to your prom, the one single most important thing to happen while you’re still in your teens, be sure to do everything you can to book the prom limousine early. I mean, really, you don’t ride in a limousine everyday, so, don’t miss the boat for your prom. Hate to imagine any one of you pimping a ride to the prom – so, book the limousine early!

How soon should I book the prom limousine?
As I said, limousine’s are in demand during prom season, so, to stay on the safe side, I think booking a rental limousine for the prom should be made about at least 2 months in advance. I kid you not…some of us had to book limousines for the prom 4 months ahead of time!

Is there a standard size prom limousine or something?
Nope. Unfortunately (should be fortunately), prom limousines come in many different shapes, sizes and designs. The single most important thing to consider when booking a prom limousine is the number of people going together. Are you double-dating? Going in a group? How many people are going to be riding in the prom limousine with you? Get all these data marked down before calling the limousine company. Just for your info, some basic limousines can fetch up to 6 people without cramming everyone in. if what you’re looking for is space in the prom limousine, try getting one that can fit 10 to 12 people.

Things people don’t tell you about renting a limousine for the prom
Plan ahead about the prom limousine rental…this means that you should do some basic calculation on the cost-sharing, the tips and also the miscellaneous items you would want to have in the limousine. The cost of renting a prom limousine could be anything between a couple of hundreds to a thousand plus….depending on the make of the limousine and the rental company. Take into consideration, also, the 15% standard tip to the limousine driver.

With most limousine rental companies, you’ll need to place a deposit for the prom limousine when you book it – this is refundable (if nothing happens inside the limousine after the prom) after the prom is over. One more thing before I sign off. Listen, if you want to make your prom as glamorous and memorable as possible, check if the limousine rental service company is licensed with the state or not. Don’t ruin the prom night with lousy limousine ride in a ready-to-fall-apart limousine and rude limo driver.
