How to Hire a Green Limo
"Green" limousines, which are defined as any chauffeured vehicles that run on alternative fuel, have recently become popular as a response to the enormous, gas-guzzling SUV limos that dot the landscape. By hiring a green limo, you are sending the message that you know how to travel in style and be friendly to the environment at the same time.

1
Determine which type of green limo you want to hire, based upon the needs of your special event. Some companies offer green stretch limousines or SUVs with hybrid engines that run on gas and electricity, or alternative fuels, such as ethanol. Other green limo services merely offer a driver and an environmentally responsible vehicle.
-
2
Hire a green limo where the environmentally friendly source of power is clearly labeled on the outside of the vehicle. This label reminds others that such a service is available.

Ask about amenities. While most green limos are production vehicles that have not been stretched or extensively modified, many services offer amenities, such as a TV, DVD players and beverage service. A few companies extend the environmentally friendly theme by including organic food and drinks.
-
4
Use the same precautions when signing a rental contract with a green limo company that you would with a more conventional limo. Read the fine print, ask about additional fees for overtime or delays and inspect all licenses and insurance certificates. Ensure that all passengers are covered for personal injury in the case of an accident.
-
5
Use online resources, such as Eco-Limo, to hire a green limo for your special event (see Resources below). Through these websites, you can check the environmentally sound fleet of vehicles, make reservations, compare amenities and start an account for your company.

Tips & Warnings
Once you are accustomed to using green limo services, get in the habit of hiring green taxicabs and airport shuttle vans as well. You may get additional tax credits for your business by employing eco-friendly services.

Why use anything but a hybrid company? all they do is drive around all day. I hired greensuv to shuttle me to an event- they were on time, courteous and professional. A great ride, and saving the environment to boot. Good company, good cause. -
