BOOK SMARTS

Never rented a limo before? Follow these tips for a flawless experience.

• Sketch out the day’s itinerary so you know how

many hours you will need transportation for. Most

companies require a three-hour minimum, and an

even longer minimum may be required based on

your vehicle, such as an SUV limo. Remember, idle

time still counts toward your overall total.

• It’s not bad to start looking for a limo around

six months out from your wedding. You can start

looking around 12 months before the big day, but

some companies may not book that far in advance.

• Some limos can fit more than a dozen people,

some cap out at around 10. Make sure your

potential ride is right for your group.

• Check out the company’s fleet first-hand. Don’t

rely on pictures or words to represent what you’ll

be riding around in on the big day.

• Get a signed contract. You’ll want all your

potential services in writing, as to avoid any

problems down the road.
