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.

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.
