3 Tips To Save Money When Renting A Limo For Prom

Posted on: 24 December 2015

If you are looking for a way to make your prom as special as possible, renting a limo for the night can be a great option. However, if you're on a tight budget, you might be worried that you cannot afford it. Luckily, following these tips can help you save money when renting a limo for prom.

1. Book the Smallest Limo Possible for Your Group

Limos come in different sizes, and you might be tempted to rent the biggest and flashiest limo that you can. You can get a similar effect for a lot less by renting the smallest limo possible for your group. Gather up a list of who is going to be part of your group, and let someone from the limo company know how many people will be wanting to ride. Then, inquire about rates for a smaller limo that will still be big enough for everyone to ride comfortably.

2. Have Everyone Picked Up at Once

It might seem nice to have everyone picked up from their own houses, but you'll add a lot to the cost of the limo service if you do so, particularly if everyone doesn't live in the same neighborhood. A better and more affordable option can be to have everyone meet at one centralized location -- such as one person's house -- so that the limo can meet and pick up everyone there. Not only will you save a significant amount of money, but it will also provide everyone with the opportunity to take pictures together as well.

3. Ask Everyone to Chip In Ahead of Time

It can be easy to get stuck with a bigger part of the bill if you are the one who is planning the limo service. Make sure that you ask everyone to chip in ahead of time. You can contact the limo service to get a ballpark figure about how much the rental will cost, and you can also find out about the deposit that you need to put down. Let everyone in your group know how much you are expecting to pay, and divide the cost up by each person in the group. Give everyone a deadline of when it will need to be paid to ensure that everyone helps chip in.

Limousine rentals for prom can be a lot of fun, but it can be expensive. Luckily, following these three tips can help you cut down on costs.
