I just booked my limos.

1-The standard is 3 hrs. O/T is anywhere from $75-$175/Hr. depending on the vehicle.

2-MOST places will give you a 15 min grace period before charging OT

3-Price will depend on the vehicle. Obviously a truck or 'specialty' car is more $. I believe Royalty was $950 for Escalade (not 100% on the $) and the Rolls Royce was $475. Each for 3 Hrs.

4-EVERY limo place I met with/talked to ADDS on a 20% gratuity to all cars.

Good Luck!!

We booked Royalty...and so did our friends. The only thing they did at our friends wedding which I didn't like, was they rolled out the runner for the whole bridal party and not just for the bride (but just personal preference) I'm sure the day of, they will do whatever (That's what I have heard from MANY brides). So far everyone has been very happy with them. As for the cost the standard is 3 hours and it also depends on what type of car(s) you get. But that also depends on where you're going and how far. They definitely try to work with you!

I used Royalty. I liked them. We did a bus though, instead of Limo's, so it was a little different.

FI and I went to Royalty too but found them a little expensive.
My friend got married a few weeks ago and went to RJ's Limos in Wantagh. They were great, very professional, clean, etc.
We just booked them last night for our wedding. Prices were much better than Royalty.

What kind of prices should I expect for 8 pass and 12 pass lincolns?

We are paying for the whole wedding ourselves so we are on a tight budget. If there are any other's that are cheaper, please feel free.

Traci-thanks for that info on RJ's. I'll keep them in mind and see what happens after tonight.

edited for another question

how long will the appointment take? mine is at 6.
