Pimp My Wedding Ride<br />
TRANSPORTATION CONSIDERATIONS<br />
Arrive <strong>at</strong> the altar in style. Having a limousine service for transport<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
on your wedding day will give you the freedom <strong>to</strong> be anywhere,<br />
anytime. Consider the following before booking your ride:<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> type of limo do you need?<br />
Limousines are a way for all members of your<br />
wedding party or family <strong>to</strong> travel <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />
Limo companies offer a wide range of vehicle<br />
choices, including sedans, stretch limos,<br />
stretch SUVs, Escalades, and even buses.<br />
Before you book, consider how many people<br />
you want <strong>to</strong> travel with and <strong>wh<strong>at</strong></strong> style you<br />
like best.<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> are the costs?<br />
In terms of payment, limo companies may<br />
oper<strong>at</strong>e slightly differently. Most companies<br />
will require a booking for a minimum number<br />
of hours, <strong>most</strong> do not include tax or gr<strong>at</strong>uity in<br />
their prices, and some require large deposits.<br />
Before you book, find <strong>out</strong> whether a deposit is<br />
required, how much it is, and if it’s refundable.<br />
You should also ask if the price is based on<br />
specific pick-up and drop-off loc<strong>at</strong>ions or if<br />
you can go anywhere during the time you<br />
book. Keep in mind th<strong>at</strong> shopping for price<br />
alone could leave you frustr<strong>at</strong>ed or<br />
disappointed on your wedding day.<br />
Wh<strong>at</strong> are the rules?<br />
Limousines can make the biggest day of your<br />
life a lot more fun! You can cruise around<br />
<strong>to</strong>wn with your closest friends, enjoy a glass<br />
of champagne, and listen <strong>to</strong> your own<br />
personal wedding mix while driving. Before<br />
you book find <strong>out</strong> if food and beverages are<br />
permitted, if there are passenger limits, if you<br />
can you open the sunroof, and if you’ll be<br />
allowed <strong>to</strong> play CDs or DVDs.<br />
Do your research!<br />
Each limo company will have different styles<br />
of vehicles. Search online <strong>to</strong> find a list of<br />
potential companies, view their websites, and<br />
look <strong>at</strong> their vehicle pictures. Before you book,<br />
you might even want <strong>to</strong> go see the actual<br />
limo you will be riding in. You wouldn’t want<br />
a 1988 limousine showing up th<strong>at</strong> smells like<br />
last night’s party.<br />
Hiring a limo for your wedding should be<br />
special and exciting. Follow the above<br />
guidelines and you’ll have a stylish and stress<br />
free ride on your wedding day. ■<br />
