Tips for Limousine Hire Perth
When you hire a limousine, there are a number of points to consider before choosing your limousine or deciding upon your limousine hire company. The cost, although often important, should not be the only factor to bear in mind. Below is a simple set of guidelines to help you choose the best limousine company for your needs. Any professional limousine service should not hesitate to answer any of the following questions.
The Limousines
What type of limousine do you require? these days limousines come in many different styles and colours. If you want a specific colour and the latest design, make sure the limousine operator can provide this. Older limousines have a squarer shape and are likely to have higher mileage; they therefore may not be in as good a condition or modern and sleek as the new Chrysler 300C’s or H2 Hummers. Our advice would be to view the limousine you plan to hire as some companies utilize older fleets. You don't want to be surprised when your limousine turns up and its condition or year is not what you were expecting. Never shop by price alone.
The Drivers
The driver of your limousine is not necessarily something you would immediately consider when hiring a limousine. Drivers are, however, an important factor to consider. A professional, well dressed driver, in suitable attire, who will open your doors, take your luggage and ensure that you have everything that you require throughout your journey and greatly enhance your limousine experience. Fortunately the majority of limousine companies employ experienced chauffeurs who are very familiar with the areas to and from which they transport their customers.
Passengers
Can the limousine company cater for your needs and number of passengers? The law states that the maximum number of passengers that a limousine may carry, it must have a licence for. Any limousine company that is willing to carry more passengers than their limousine is licenced for is quite likely breaking the law. You are not advised to hire limousines from any such company.
Controls
Who has control of the music, lighting, air-conditioning, karaoke and privacy screen? Most modern limousines have all of the controls in the back of the limousine for the discretion of the limousine guests. There would be nothing worse than having to ask your chauffeur to change the current song, or not being able to change it, or reduce or increase the music volume. The chauffeur needs to be driving.
The Journey
Your collection point to your destination? It is important that you explain exactly where you wish to be collected from and at what time. If you wish your friends to be collected from their homes then make this clear before you part with any money. The same rule applies on the return journey. Ensure that the driver is clear where your passengers require dropping off.
Payment
How should you expect to pay for your limousine experience? Payment methods can vary between limousine companies, however the general rule is for a booking fee to be paid by debit or credit card at the time of booking and the remainder to be paid in cash to the driver on the night, or by card or cheque prior to the booking date. If you require a selection of drinks in the limousine then be sure to check if this is included with your limo hire, it would be a shame to be collected by a limousine with nothing but empty glasses.
