What kid doesn't want to arrive to their prom in style? The prom season is right around the corner and will be upon us before we blink an eye. A lot of times transportation takes a back seat to the dress, hair and makeup. We, as parents, want our children's prom to be an unforgettable eperience that they will cherish forever. We also want to make sure they arrive safe and on time! What better way to ensure this then to send them in a limo. They will turn everyone's head when pulling up in a limousine while feeling like royalty.
key elements when booking a limousine for prom....
How many people will need to be accomodated?
Limousines come in all shapes and sizes. The best way to start off a reservation is by knowing exactly how many kids will need the transportation service. A rule of thumb in the limo industry is to always book a limo that can hold at least 2 more people than needed. Your children will be dressed up and not wanting to be crowded or sitting on each other.

What is the time frame of service?
There can be many different scenarios when it comes to the itinerary of prom night. Don't forget to take in account the time it takes to load and unload passengers. If having multiple pick ups, parents will want to get pictures and such and can eat up your service time very quickly. Minimal pick up locations can speed this process time up. Traffic and construction can also hinder your time, so make sure to allow more than adequate time for travel. Some limousine companies have a minimum service time depending on the vehicle, so make sure to hit this point when placing your reservation.

Is an adult needed to chaperone?
Let's face it, it's prom, all those attending are going to be minors. You might be asked to chaperone the kids while in the limo or sign a waiver. This is completely up to the limousine company and their policies.

What's the service going to cost?
Each limousine company has their own rates. Keep your eyes open for deals and coupons. Another rule of thumb is to get your quote in writing. A lot of limo companies will price match if you have the quote on the companie's letterhead.

Notifications
If you are not chaperoning your kids, will the chauffeur notify a parent when the kids are dropped off at the prom? This will most certainly be available at your request. A simple phone call can give us, as parents, the peace of mind that the children have arrived at the destination safe and sound.
