Cheap Limos for Prom
From LoveToKnow Teens
When it comes to budget constraints, finding cheap limos for prom can really make up a huge difference in how much you’ll eventually spend.
Finding Cheap Limos for Prom
Finding cheap limos for prom is not an easy task. That’s because most car service companies know that teenagers want to arrive, and leave, their proms in style. It doesn’t help either that proms are usually held at certain times each season. This means that limousines are in high demand, and when demand goes up, usually, so too does the price. However, there are some factors one should keep in mind as they may help to mitigate that budgetary fallout.
Size of Party
First, consider the size of your party. How many people will be sharing this limo? Obviously, the larger the group, the larger the limousine will have to be to accommodate them, and that usually means higher fees. However, if that’s not possible, then you may want to consider cutting the size of the group you’ll be traveling with.
Length of Time and Mileage
Another key factor worth thinking about is how does the company charge for its service? Is it by the length of time the vehicle will be in use, or is it by the mileage? If the company does both, consider which package will be cheaper and go with that one.
Is it Necessary?
Don’t constrain yourself by thinking that a limousine is the only acceptable choice. There are so many different options available to the consumer, from the Excursion to the Navigator, that it makes smart budget sense to consider some of those other options. Choosing another vehicle doesn’t have to mean forgoing size or comfort either! Plenty of other options, like the Navigator, are just as stylish and eye catching as a traditional limousine.
Reputable
No matter what your final decision is, visit the companies' website and call them on the phone to ensure that it is a reputable company. Questions to ask include, are they insured? If so, what kind of liability coverage do they provide? Are there any guarantees? What’s in the fine print that they aren’t telling? Asking questions like these now will go a long way in saving you from any potential hassles in the long run.
Ask Around
Don’t be shy when it comes to finding cheap limos for prom! Ask your neighbors, older friends or siblings, even teachers. The odds are very good that they may know someone who can get you a good deal. At the very least, they’ll probably have some pretty good ideas on the best way to save money with a car service company.
Cheap Limo Rentals
Before getting started in your search for a cheap limo, keep in mind that because of factors in the economy, rental prices can fluctuate. That said, consider going with a packaged deal; most limousine companies, particularly the reputable ones, will usually offer this service.
For example, at Exotic Coaches.com you’ll see a package deal offered under "School Dances". This deal includes five hours of drive time, three hours of wait time and complimentary soft drinks.
For companies that service large swaths of the US, consider:
- VIP Ride: VIP Ride covers a large geographic area of the US from San Antonio to San Diego and from Pittsburg to Seattle. They also have a Group Travel section for those with large parties.
- First Class Limos: is another site you may want to try, but they seem to exclusively service the Ohio to Pennsylvania area. On the other hand, Garden State Limo services the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Putting It All Together
At the end of the day, the best way to save money on a limousine rental is to have every member of the party chip in. This will allow you to purchase more car for your money and it will remove the monetary burden from the shoulders of just one, so that it may be shared by many. In turn, this will allow everyone to have a great time and a fun, memorable night.

Hi Kelly,
It depends on the limo service and where you live. Call around to different companies and shop around before you decide on one or to rent one at all.
