How To Rent A Limousine

By Mads Phican

Like most people you probably only plan to rent a limousine for the most important days in your life. Those important days could for example be a prom at your school, your wedding or the funeral of one of your loved ones. On such days you don’t want anything to go wrong. You should therefore, in addition to all the other things you probably need to do, ensure that your transportation will be in perfect order.



First of all you must check the reliability of the limousine service. How long have they been in business and can you be absolutely sure that they will turn up as planned. The reliability of the limousine service is probably the most important thing to check. Just imagine how it could ruin for example your wedding if your transportation doesn’t work out as you have planned.



Besides checking the reliability of the limousine service, you should also check the reliability of the vehicle itself. You should check the age of the vehicle and whether it is clean or not. It is not unheard of that people have to use a vehicle that surely hasn’t been cleaned since the party it was used for the day before. In relation to cleaning, you might also want to check if it is normally allowed to smoke in the limousine.



You should also check with the limousine service that they have a backup vehicle. A backup vehicle might be important if the limousine you have chosen have a mechanical problem or gets involved in a collision before its arrival on your important day.



In addition to the reliability, you should check how you will pay for the vehicle and get all of it written down in a contract or another form of written agreement. You will need to check how much the limousine cost per hour and if you have to use it for a minimum number of hours. Most companies demand that you rent the limousine for at least 3 or 4 hours.



You should also check how much you have to pay in deposit when you order the limousine and if gratuity is included in the price. It is common practice that you have to pay around 20% in deposit and anywhere between 0 and 20% in gratuity.

6 Useful Tips On Renting A Car Abroad By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Susan_Chen]Susan Chen When you next go on vacation the best way to explore a new country is by car. Renting a car allows you to sightsee at your own pace to tourist spots of your own choice. You can easily rent cars from car rental services, but there are certain things you should keep in mind when you are renting a car abroad. * It is a good idea to make all arrangements from the USA itself before you embark on your vacation. If you rent directly in a foreign land the language and cultural barriers, the foreign currency conversion rates, unfamiliar rental rules and other differences may utterly confuse you. Instead if you rent right from your home country, you are more likely to catch the hidden costs such as late penalties, gas charges and others. * Make sure your billing starts right from the time of the drop-off. Remember, there are agencies that charge on a full 24-hour basis, even if you use the car for le...

Car Rental in Europe

Car Rental in Europe By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Ingle]Peter Ingle So you have decided to take a well earned break and go for a holiday in the European country you've always wanted to visit. You don't want to spend the entire week on the beach and you would like to explore the area that you are visiting. You could take a series of day excursions and jump into the tour bus each morning. A better idea however, in my experience, is to plan on renting a car during your stay. With a car rental you have the flexibility to go where you want to, when you want to. It can also end up a lot cheaper than taking taxis and tour buses to the places that interest you (especially if you are a couple, a family or travelling in a group). It is usually a lot cheaper to book a car rental in advance of the trip, as opposed to renting one from the closest car rental depot to your hotel. There are plenty of car rental companies that offer the ability to check rates and make reserv...
