Most of the time, teens do think of their transportation service during prom season. Just because they are young doesn’t mean that they can’t arrive to the prom venue in style. Prom night is one of the most magical nights a teenager would anticipate weeks – or even months – in advance. It is also the time where girls especially metamorphose into beautiful young women in fairytale gowns and boys look like dashing gentlemen. To make the night all the more magical, why not make a grand entrance in a limo?

For young people that do not own a car or not yet qualified for a driving license, it is so easy to decide. But for those who have their own transportation, it could be a hard thing to decide. One must think of the advantages and disadvantages of getting a car service.

Hiring a limousine service could make one enjoy the luxury of getting to the prom venue in total luxury. Also, traveling by limo is quite safe since someone else is responsible for driving. You do not have to worry about getting in a road accident or breaking any traffic law for the night.

As there are a lot of limousine companies and even more limousine types to choose from, you won’t run out of choices. There are actually limos that would be perfect for prom night and which you might even arguably claim were made for prom night. For young people, the new and sleek models are quite popular. So far, the most in-demand limo for proms is the Hummer H2 Customized Series, which has so many colors to choose from, from classic black to girly pink. Following the Hummer limo are other popular limousine models like the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, the Jaguar S-Series, and the Limousine Bus.

However, the cost of hiring the vehicle is the biggest disadvantage to hiring a limousine service for the prom night. It will be helpful to get an overview of the limousine companies and how they charge. Note that some companies charge by the hour while some charge by kilometer. Be reminded that for those who charge by the hour, you might be required to rent the limousine for a minimum number of hours which is usually three hours. The limo rental can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 per hour. This rate depends on its size. Limo comes in the small six-seater version and the super-stretched version which can actually accommodate 18-20 people. The Limousine Bus is particularly worth noting as it can accommodate up to 22 passengers. You can get some friends to share the cost of the limo rental. This way, the rate would be cheaper for everyone.

Hire a limousine service or drive to the prom? This remains a personal decision, and must be based on your ability to afford the limousine. If getting a prom limo would prove to be too costly for you, then it is wiser not to continue with the plan.
