FAQ's

 

How much does it cost to rent a limo?
Limousine rental costs vary based on a variety of factors.  Your exact costs will depend on these factors; Time of year (spring,summer, etc), Type of vehicle (larger limos cost more), Time of week (weekends are more), Geographic area (NY is more expensive than AZ), Distance traveled (longer travel times cost more).  Here are hourly rate averages of the most commonly rented limousines and ground transportation.  These figures are examples only and these rates do not construe an offer to solicit for ground transportation.  

Vehicle Type

Rate Averages (per hour)

Luxury sedans (3 passengers max)

Stretch limousines (6-10 passengers)

$50-120

Stretch SUV limousines (Excursions, Hummers)

$100-300

Mini-buses / Limo-Coaches / Party Buses

$60-200

Can we rent for 1 hour? 
We estimate that 95% of the limousine industry does not offer limousine service for 1 hour.  To hire a limousine, most services require a minimum hourly booking, typically 3 hours.  In high demand months, such as the spring, hourly minimums can increase to 5, 6, and sometimes 8 hours.

What is standard gratuity?
Each limousine service charges a standard gratuity which is based on the total fare.  Gratuities averages are 15-20%.  If your total rental bill is $300, expect to be charged a $45-$60 gratuity charge.  Some companies automatically include gratuitiy in their fare estimates, while others do not.  Either way, it is customary to budget gratuity in your rental cost.   Limousine chauffeurs earn their living by gratuities much like waiters do in fine dining establishments.

Can we get a deal?
Most companies will offer deals on different types of packages, however, the availability of deals mostly depends on the time of week and the time of year.   Deals are found on Monday, not Saturday!   You will not find special deals for a New Year's Eve rental or for a limousine rental during Prom season.  In these "high-demand" times the supply of limousines is short which drives prices and minimum hourly rates higher.
