Limo rentals are most often charged by the hour, with rates that vary widely depending on the dealer and on how you intend to use the dealer. Because a limo is such a large investment, most dealers also stipulate a three-hour minimum rental time, so make sure to factor that in when you’re thinking about how much you’ll be spending.

Rates vary quite a lot depending on what you’re looking for, but generally fall in the range of between fifty and a hundred dollars an hour. The larger and fancier the limousine, the more you can expect to spend on it. Prom limousines and wedding limousines are rented for a set period – sometimes as much as five or six hours, which can quickly add up, especially against the meager bank accounts most high schoolers, college students, and newlyweds tend to own.

You can sometimes get a good deal for a limo, but remember – you get what you pay for, and this is just as true in the limo service as in anything else. Believe it or not, it really is possible to get a “cheap” limousine, and you’ll be able to tell, by old seats, rust spots, even problems with the air conditioning or sound system. If you’re looking to impress, you might as well get a good limo, as a rusty or old one will do nothing but make you look like someone over reaching your bank account.
