How much does it cost to rent a limo? Limousine rental costs vary based on a variety of factors. Your exact costs will depend on the factors listed below: Can we rent for 1 hour? What is gratuity? We estimate that 95% of the limousine industry does not offer limousine service for 1 hour. To hire a limousine, most services require a minimum hourly booking, typically 3 hours. In high demand months, such as the spring, hourly minimums can increase to 5, 6, and sometimes 8 hours. In addition, each limousine service charges a standard gratuity which is based on the total fare. Gratuities averages are 15-20%. If your total rental bill is $300, expect to be charged a $45-$60 gratuity charge. Some companies automatically include gratuitiy in their fare estimates, while others do not. Either way, it is customary to budget gratuity in your rental cost. Limousine chauffeurs earn their living by gratuities much like waiters do in fine dining establishments. Can we get a deal? Most companies will offer deals on different types of packages, however, the availability of deals mostly depends on the time of week and the time of year. DEALS ON MONDAYS! BUT NOT SATURDAY!
F.A.Q
For example, you won't find special deals for a New Year's Eve rental or for a limousine rental during Prom season. In these "high-demand" times the supply of limousines is short which drives prices and minimum hourly rates higher.
