You want premium limousine service to be a memorable and enjoyable experience that is to the wedding. You want the limousine to show up at the appointed time but you also want that limousine to show up in good condition.

You need to reserve your wedding limousine well in advance of your wedding date. The lowest price may not be the best bet. When it comes to limo service you get what you paid for. If you are really good ask to see the company’s limousines.

A well-maintained ride will be free of blemishes, won't smell bad, and one you will be proud to be seen in. When reserving your limousine be sure to allow enough time. Here is where you will want to confer with your photographer to get an estimaSte of how long it will take him to take the list of pictures you have requested after the ceremony.

Limo hire companies book their vehicles based on the time frame clients reserve. So if you reserve a limousine from 1-4 p.m. and at 4 o’clock your photographer is still taking pictures you could come out of the church expecting to get into your limousine to be taken to the reception only to find that it has left because it had another engagement at 5 o’clock. Most of the time going over your time period of time is not an issue. But this is something you should discuss when making your reservation.

Be sure to ask around for others with experience on limo rides. A company can always provide compliments about their service from happy customers. A good way to find honest comments about a limo company is to check the internet or Google for background information.

If the limousine company you call does not have a vehicle available, ask them if they can recommend a company. Most good limousine companies know the other companies in the area and know who they are comfortable making recommendations. And speaking of good service, you have to be careful here as well, as there are people operating bad limousine companies.

The limousine industry is overseen by a government agency that insures companies have the licenses, insurance, and chauffeurs who have been screened and licensed. In the state of Maryland for instance, all limousines must undergo a state inspection every year one more check that insures your safety.

Will the chauffeur roll out a red carpet for your wedding? Hopefully, you have chosen a great limousine company and their chauffeur meets your needs.

Check the limousine out too. Besides being clean and presentable, does the company provide anything inside the limousine like drinks, bottled water, ice? (Some limousine companies charge for this kind of service.) Will the company provide a bottle of champagne upon request? What about after the wedding. Some limousine companies even have flowers inside the limousine, along with a gift and balloons.

May your special event be just what you envision and made even more special with the right limo service!

Limo hire is not as simple as you think and your limousine rental services, might just take you for quite a ride, if your not very careful. Its therefore quite important that you select a good and reliable limousine service and ensure a smooth and safe ride all the way.

Quite often, you can judge how a limousine service treats their customers through a telephone inquiry. If your call is answered promptly and courteously by a company and if they give you all the important and relevant information without hesitating, you can be assured that they are a good bet.

While looking at web sites of limousine operators, its best to check if they have a fixed line number and a physical contact address. A mobile number or just a vague p.o. box number are signs of poor or fly by night operations.

It's also important to see if the web site of the company whose services you're considering hiring, displays images of their own vehicles. Many companies use pictures of brand new limousines but have cars that are battered and beaten. Its best to physically examine the cars.

There are times when you might come across agents who will tell you that they can secure quotations on your behalf. In such cases, the limousine operators pay for each inquiry they receive or a percentage of the hire value. It means that you will pay a higher price than you would otherwise These brokers often make claims that their limousine operators as "accredited" or "approved". It's best to stay away from such types.

Price is an important determining factor. Note that all limousine operators so not charge the same price. A professional limousine operator generally charges $45 an hour for a minimum of 4 hours for a car like a sedan while a stretch limousine may cost $60. A super stretch limousine may cost o a few dollars more. Even if you have to pay a slightly higher price in order to hire a service from a reputed and established limousine operator, it's always worth it.

It's also important to keep in mind the duration that you will need the limousine for. It generally takes about an hour to prepare a limousine for dispatch. Therefore, most operators ask for a minimum charge or a minimum hire duration of 3 hours or so. This is generally higher during peak periods like Christmas, New Year's Eve etc. The minimum hire charge is most likely to be in the region of £150.

Another important question is reliability. Stretch limousines are expensive to maintain and repair and poor companies often overlook any maintenance or repairs. Hiring from such companies can be quite disastrous. Your limousine may not show up on time or breakdown mid-way on your journey.

Its also important to know how long has the company whose service you plan to hire been in business. If they are well established, they are obviously more reliable than someone who has just started out a few months ago.

Try and find out how many cars the operator has in its fleet. Just in case the one you have hired breaks down, will they send you another one at once.

Is the operator you're planning on selecting situated close to where you need to be picked up from? That will ensure that they reach you on time.

Its also important to know how old the car you will be driving in is. After all, you don't want to show up in a beaten car at your fancy do. Its also sensible to view the car physically, a few days in advance if possible.

Also check what the rental price includes. Does it include VAT, Drinks, Gratuities etc? Don't ever hesitate to as if your chauffeur is licensed, trained and polite.

Does the company have the appropriate private hire insurance? It's best to view it.

It's also quite sensible if you have written confirmation of the price?

Will you be given a booking confirmation with the itinerary and price included?

What are the payment methods they accept? What is the deposit you have to pay and when is the balance due? It's important to know these in advance to avoid confusion later.

A professional limousine operator will be able to answer all your questions satisfactorily and ensure that you have a smooth and comfortable experience.

Most couples select a simple stretch Lincoln limo, but you can go for the stretch Hummer or Escalade if you are audacious enough. Once you have a list of possible vehicle choices, contact all companies to make sure that they will have the vehicles available for rental on your wedding day and how much it will cost. You should be able to get a limo for under £1000 so you shouldn't need to spend much more than that on a limo rental service. You should also be sure to ask every company for a list of at least a few references that you can contact to get information about the company and the quality of service.

In the latest skirmish in the trans-Hudson wars, officials in New Jersey said yesterday that they would begin charging New York City limousines and taxis $200 a year per vehicle for the right to bring passengers from New Jersey to New York.

Members of the Bergen County legislature, which enacted the law Wednesday evening, described it as a tit-for-tat action intended to encourage New York's Taxi and Limousine Commission to rescind regulations for out-of-town hired cars that went into effect last week.

"We don't want to do this," said Richard A. Mola, vice chairman of the county's Board of Freeholders, its governing body. "All we want to do is to get New York to take back their law, which is plain wrong."

Accusing New York authorities of trying to gouge New Jerseyans, Mr. Mola said that he thought New Jersey's limousine companies had suffered enough in the recession and that the new expenses were ill timed.

Just as, over the years, New Yorkers and New Jerseyans have bickered over taxes, the birthplace of baseball and the Statue of Liberty, limousine owners and drivers in the two states spoke derisively of one another yesterday.

"Manhattan is just another town," said Tim Rose, vice president of Garden State Limousine of North Arlington, N.J., describing his objection to the New York regulations. "They want to charge us for going from town to town."

Deleroy Mayles, a New York driver, countered: "I only go to New Jersey when I absolutely have to. There's nothing of interest there." The new regulations principally affect limousine companies with corporate clients.

If the Taxi and Limousine Commission does not alter New York's regulations in 30 days, Mr. Mola of Bergen County warned, the police will begin enforcing the law in New Jersey. Any New York limousine found picking up a passenger in New Jersey would be given a $500 ticket for the first and second offense, and could be confiscated after a third offense. Those penalties are similar to New York's strictest penalties for operating a vehicle without a proper license.

Yet the Taxi and Limousine Commission seems unlikely to budge. Mr. Del Valle noted that the regulations were written into state law, which was passed last November and that took effect last week, and would not easily be changed. He defended the regulations as sensible.

' "We regulate the industry for a reason," Mr. Del Valle said. "When you get into a car, you want to know that it's not Jack the Ripper behind the wheel." He estimated the trans-Hudson limousine and taxi traffic at fewer than 2,000 cars

The new laws in both states require a $200 licensing fee for each limousine and a $500 fee for the limousine company, both annual fees. Mr. Del Valle said that New Jersey limousines would be exempt from New York motor vehicles tax, which costs local taxis $1,000 and limousines $400.
