5 weeks to go and NO LIMO

I am freaking out. I am getting married in 38 days and still have not booked a limo. All I want is one of those SUV limos that holds 16-18 people. Is anyone else getting something similar, and if so, how much are you paying? I am appalled at how much money these places want for just 2 hours!

Can anyone suggest a good, reliable limo company?
Thanks a bunch...

melissa :)

I booked AllStar 15 days before my wedding and no problems...

I think SUVs are expensive whereever you go, but try to negotiate a 2 hour deal...and plus that they will be filling the day...

Re: 5 weeks to go and NO LIMO

We are using NJL limo. I got a Rolls Royce (4 hours)and the Escalade limo (5 hours) for $1250 that includes tax and gratuity. I can't recall how much it was for just the Escalade. most of the places we looked into wanted $950 for three hours in the SUV limos. So I think we got a good deal. Let me know if you need the number or if you have any questions.

We booked All Star Limo. They were very nice and came highly recommended by friends of ours.

I booked M&V limo in Smithtown. Great service (so far) and a nice selection of cars.

Re: 5 weeks to go and NO LIMO

HI Melissa,
I'm getting married in 36 days and also have not started looking at limos. Since I only need one and there are so many companies I put that job at the end of my list. I did call Sir Oliver two days ago becaue they are recommended by my caterer, but after seeing the bad review of them here (and they also have a complaint against them on the Better Business site) I am going to try M&V since they are close to me. All Star has a great Web site, but they are really far from me.
The person I spoke to at Sir Oliver did quote me $175 for the trip (I just need a car to take me to the catering hall, where our ceremony and reception are being held).
Good luck!

Re: 5 weeks to go and NO LIMO

OK we are using M&V and getting the stretch BMW that sits 12 max. We are getting a pick up and drop off and spending $350 for it! FI said let's do it so we splurged. It is expensive and such a waste of a nice looking limo for a short ride but we figured why not, it is our wedding day!

Re: 5 weeks to go and NO LIMO

I finally booked a limo....M&V in Smithtown...they seemed to be the most reasonable (if you could call $750 reasonable). We are getting the BMW X5 stretch SUV that holds 18 for 3 1/4 hours. THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

Re: 5 weeks to go and NO LIMO

Melissa...we are using the same BMW X5 stretch from M&V, isn't it cool? I love the lights inside and all. I would say $750 isn't bad at all for 3 1/4 hours since we are paying $350 for a pick up and drop off ONLY! I thought they told me that it would only hold 12 though?! This is it below right?
