- A company with limos that are more up to date will have higher prices. Cadillac, Hummer and Chrysler 300 limos are more expensive than a standard Lincoln limo. The year of the limo also determines the rate. Older limos will be less expensive.
- The smaller the limo, the cheaper it will be. Limo sizes range from eight-passenger all the way up to 50-passenger motor coaches.
- Cost for limos depends on the number of rental hours. Companies usually require a minimum of three hours. For special rentals, such as a motor coach, the minimum may be four hours. The season also determines the minimum rental hours. For example, during prom season, a company may require you to rent for a minimum of six hours. The prices for the day of the week will vary. If you rent on a weekday, rental rates may start as low as $75 an hour, depending on the vehicle you rent. Weekend rates jump significantly.
- The type of event for which you need a limo affects cost, too. Wedding rentals may be cheaper than for a birthday party because wedding parties typically rent more than one limo and for more hours. So to accommodate the customer, a company may offer deals for the more limos you rent.
- Mileage also factors into hourly rates. If you are being dropped of to a location and picked up, you will not have a mileage fee. However, if you plan to ride around and pick up guests from different locations and visit different spots, this may tack on mileage fees. Other fees include: decorations, food and beverages stocked in the limo bar and tips for the driver.
