#1 Consider the size of the party.
Before you begin shopping for prospective prom limos, get an exact count of the number of passengers who’ll be riding in the vehicle. If your teen is planning to ride to the prom with several of his or her friends, make a list of everyone who wants to ride in the limo. Use this number to help you decide what kind of limo to rent.
Remember that all limos, even party buses, have maximum passenger limits that should be respected in order to maintain safe conditions during the ride. In fact, trained chauffeurs will not allow the vehicle to take off, unless the number of passengers is fewer than the maximum for the vehicle. Even if your teen’s party consists of fewer passengers than the vehicle limit, you can give a copy of the passenger list to the chauffeur and ask that no additional passengers be allowed in the vehicle after the event ends.
#2 Check the company’s service record.
Even if you find a perfect limo with every luxury your teen wants, you’ll need a reliable chauffeur to care for transportation on prom night. Before you leave the limo company, ask about the business’s customer service record. You may even want to check out their online reviews.
Be sure to ask if the chauffeurs have been trained in how to handle rowdy or disagreeable passengers. You should also make sure that the company is licensed to operate in your state and that it carries the necessary insurance.
