Renting a wedding car for your event such as wedding, but also for your prom, hens night, bucks, school formal or birthday party requires a thorough process. There are many wedding car companies that can offer you the same limousine but not the same service.

A few guidelines for making your wedding car rental experience that much easier.
Call and interview potential wedding car rental service companies ahead of time,
It's important to know who you will be dealing with.
If you're looking for wedding car service, it's essential to start off investigating wedding car companies 4 to 8 months prior to the wedding.
Start by identifying 3-5 wedding car rental companies in your area. Pre-qualify them and then go in to a more in-depth interview.
First, you want to make sure they are licensed by the state to provide wedding car and driving services. Next, be sure they can handle the size of your group and have cars availabe on the big day. Finally, be sure they have options within your budget.
Select your top choices and launch into your interview.
Here are the most common questions you should ask when renting a wedding car:
1. How long have you been in business?
Limousine companies who have been in the business for a long time are more reliable and have professional drivers.
2. How old are your vehicles?
The fleet of vehicles a company has may vary in sizes and age.
3. Where is your company based?
Some limousine listings that you may find in different websites such as Google Maps can be misleading. Sometimes their address is not their actual address. Make sure that the address match on their website and their other listings online.
4. Can I view your limousines and where can I see them?
For special occasions such as your wedding day, it is advisable to check the actual limousine that you'll be using a few days or a week before the big day. Check the interior and exterior of the car and see if it meets your standards.
5. What does the price include (Gratuities, Drinks etc)?
You always want to know what is included in your bill. Usually a 20% gratuity is added on top of the hourly rate. Ask if there is any charge for extra stop over or if they're going to add a travel time fee.
6. Is there a minimum hire durations?
Most limousine companies require a minimum of four hours during weekends. Ask whether they can accommodate the hours you require. You can also inquire if they can offer you a flat rate for a one-way trip which may cost you a little less. Overtime is very common with weddings so be sure you have the price for every hour you go over in writing. There's nothing worse than getting stuck with an extra $500 because you went a half-hour over your time. Second,
7. What contingencies do you have if the limousine breaks down?
Limousine rarely breaks down but it can still happen. Ask what would be the agreement if a break down occurs. It is best to know ahead of time in order to avoid arguments.
8. When can I cancel without incurring a charge?
A change can always occur in the last minute, make sure to ask the conditions when cancelling a reservation. You don't want to pay for something you didn't use.
9. What are the accessories included in the limousine?
If you're planning to hold a party inside the limousine, ask if they have a LCD screen, DVD player, iPod dock, and other accessories included.
10. Do you provide any type of discount?
If you're going to rent a limousine for long hours, it wouldn't hurt to ask a discount.
11.Do you require a deposit
Many wedding limo services, large reservations will require a deposit. Deposits are standard among limo rentals and a good way to ensure your car is available on the big day. The amount required for a deposit varies from company to company, but be sure you understand the terms of the deposit. This leads me to my next point.
12. Get an assurance what your actually hiring
It's important to get the car you reserved in writing because unscrupulous companies may try to swap out a cheaper car at the last minute. Getting the make, model, and year of limo you reserved will protect you against such companies
13. Wedding Photo Location
Choose photographic locations that are a practical distance from the service and reception. Ask your wedding car company if photos are included in the trip and any limitations because of the vechile type or size, eg a stretched vechile might have trouble finding a car park in the middle of a busy street.
