Re: limos...

Re: limos...

For the 14 companies I called.... (although girls on here have said if you go over to the place you can get a lower price)

3 hours for a rolls royce was $325 to 400...+ 20% gratuity....

1 10 passanger was 300 to 400 + 20% (OT 75 to 100 per extra hour)

Re: limos...

I called a lot too, and also found the prices similar. You then need to think about service, condition of cars, what their OT fees are, what package includes, number of cars in fleet - incase there is a problem with one.

Re: limos...

i know that its not just price..
but I have a friend who is giving a similar price minus the 20% gratuity...
i also never thought about getting a rollsroyce but after seeing the nice pictures with them...

Re: limos...

so is the best thing to go meet with them and look at the cars in person?

Re: limos...

I learned the tips from you Jenn

Re: limos...

meeting with them seems to get the best price..(i was reading alot of old limo posts last night)...

I found one place has a gray/silver rolls royce... would that be nicer than a white one??

Re: limos...

Most limo co.'s include the 20% gratuity, make sure it is for the driver & you dont have to tip extra unless you feel they went above & beyond like mine did

Re: limos...

I personally liked going to the limo companies because in addition to negotiating the price you get to see the cars and the people that work there. Some places gave me cheaper quotes, but I didn't feel the cars were in the best condition or they didn't have the greatest back-up policy. I would go in person. JMO

Re: limos...

Definitely go to the place. I went to a place that was recommended by a friend and when I saw the cars, I was so disappointed. You need to see what you are paying for. I also found that prices were pretty similar at most places.
