How to Hire a Bachelorette Party Limo

A wild and crazy night on the town can be quickly turned into a frustrating event if you fail to hire a competent limo company for your bachelorette party. Find a reputable, certified limo service with a relatively new fleet of vehicles, and bring a camera so you can capture every exciting and embarrassing moment on film.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Hire a limo for your bachelorette party from a company that has a good reputation for service and reliability, and can produce all required licenses and certificates of insurance coverage. Ask for references from satisfied customers. You should inspect all documentation before you place a deposit for your reservation.
2. Determine if the total cost of the limo service includes the gratuity for the driver in order to avoid tipping twice. If the mandatory gratuity is 15 percent, you may want to add a few extra few dollars at the end of the night if the service from your driver was exceptional.
3. Ask to inspect the limo before it arrives for your bachelorette party. Getting an old limo with dented bumpers and torn seats may detract from the overall enjoyment of the evening's festivities. Your limo should arrive clean, neat and smelling fresh.
4. Find out if you can receive a discount if you hire more than one limo for the night, especially if you're expecting a big turnout for your bachelorette party. While it may be tempting to cram as many women into the limo as possible, your guests will appreciate being able to stretch out and relax toward the end of the evening.
5. Be clear on the limo service's policy toward overtime in case you exceed the specified rental time. Some limo companies may actually increase the hourly rate in these cases, so read the fine print on the contract before you hire the service. If you do exceed the allotted time, make sure to compensate the driver accordingly.
6. Request a woman driver when renting a limo service for a bachelorette party. Your friends may feel less inhibited without a strange man watching their every move throughout the night.
7. Stay organized throughout the evening, even if the bachelorette party gets a little wild. Designate a common pick-up and drop-off point for all of your guests, as opposed to taking everyone right to their front door, which will save time. This rule may be eliminated, however, if too much alcohol is consumed during the evening.
