A limousine service provides customers with a chauffeur and vehicle, either on an hourly basis or as part of a set package. Pricing varies by the type of limousine, fuel charges in your area and any extras you request. When hiring a limo service, read the contract carefully and ask to see photos of the exact limousine you will be renting. Also, find out whether the company offers a minimum number of hours or an hourly rate, as these may impact your final cost.

What is limousine service?

Chauffeurs are trained to meet your every need — including carrying your luggage, making reservations and running errands. They know the ins and outs of their vehicles, including their capacity, safety features and AV systems. They are also well versed in defensive driving techniques and undergo rigorous background checks. They receive training in customer service and are committed to quality.

In a pinch, your chauffeur can pick up a bottle of wine or champagne from the liquor store on the way to the party. They will also have a list of nearby restaurants and clubs to take you to, and they can even suggest places for sightseeing or shopping.

It’s always a good idea to hire a professional, licensed chauffeur. Ask the limo service to explain their cleaning and sanitizing policies, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
