Renting a limousine can be a trial and error process, finding a company to do business with can be time consuming and if you don't choose the right one you may end up spending a lot of money and be unhappy with the outcome.

Some key points to know.

Limousine rates are negotiable, many companies claim to have set rates but if you know when to book (the best time is late summer to early spring) and during the week. Many companies will be much more flexible on the rate they will give you as this is typically the slower time for them.

Remember to ask to speak to the manager when you call, as many times it will just be an employee answering the phone, one who may not have the leeway to offer you a discounted rate.

If you plan on using the limousine on more than one occasion be sure to tell the manager that, and you can ask for the "corporate rate" (this is the rate that many companies will give to hotels, restaurants, and travel industry insiders) Once again you must be confident and polite with the manager, as he has the final judgment on the rate that you will be able to procure.

When it comes to booking the limo it is important to book well ahead in advance if you are planning on booking for a weekend or during the late spring to early fall (grad and wedding season). If it is not mandatory you have a limousine for your event you can always try calling last minute as limo owners would rather see their Limousines running at a reduced rate than not at all.
