How to Pool a Limo for Prom Night

A limo on prom night is one of the finishing touches that helps to make a simple high school dance into a thrilling evening of celebration and partying. Fortunately, pooling a limo is an easy way to spread the cost of renting a limo while getting to ride with your friends in style. So, follow these steps to pool a limo for prom.

Instructions

1. Get a group together. Your first step in pooling a limo is figuring out who's going to share the ride. Start with friends you know and trust so that the limo ride is fun and doesn't turn out to be a disaster. Include as many people as you want, up to around 15, but make sure that the people who are joining you are people you want there.

2. Divide labor. Unless you like to handle organizing things personally, you should divide the labor of finding a limo company and making the reservation. Give a few members of your group three or four limo companies to check on. Make sure everyone asks a few basic questions regarding price, safety deposit and cancellation policy.

3. Get money in advance. It is very important for you or whoever organizes the limo to collect money in advance of the prom. Remember to divide not just the cost of the limo rental but the amount of money needed for a safety deposit and tip. Make sure everyone is paid up in full before the dance so you don't have to worry about bearing the burden of the bill.

4. Make a meeting point and time. Having the limo drive from location to location picking up different people is impractical. Make a time and place for your whole group to meet the limo well in advance of the prom. Keep in mind that both the other members of your limo pool and the limo driver might cause a delay. So, the more time you leave yourself to get the limo pool together the better.
