Renting Vancouver Grad Limos –01– Sourcing & Safety

Planning your Vancouver graduation limousine rental can quickly become exhausting. How many people are coming? What are the rates like? What kind of grad packages are there? What’s a split? Are the cars new? There are a number of questions to ask when making an informed decision about which Vancouver limo service provider to use.

Finding The Right Vancouver Limousine Service Provider

You’ve been working hard all these years to reach this momentous occasion in your life – it’s time to celebrate your educational success with a grad limo or two for you and your schoolmates. The last thing you need is to show up late in an old rust bucket with an unkempt driver.

Parents are rightfully concerned about whose hands their sons’ and daughters’ lives are being placed in. Is the driver experienced? Are the limousines properly serviced? Are dry grads enforced? Who’s responsible if any damage occurs?

Students want to make sure they have a trouble-free and memorable time.

Parents want to make sure their sons and daughters are well looked after.

So, what do you need to do to make sure your 2010 grad transportation needs are looked after properly?

In this and the next few graduation limo posts, we’ll look at some of the important questions to ask, and which concerns to raise when securing your Vancouver grad limousine service.

This Is A… Grad Limousine? On Limo Age & Safety

The most common mistake made when first deciding on a graduation limousine service provider is deciding based on price alone. We realize how wide the spectrum of local limousine choices is, and are quite familiar with the players in the industry.

Rest assured, reduced pricing quickly equates increased risk.

One of the first questions which should come to mind is how old the limousines in the fleet are and how regularly they’re serviced. Don’t be shy – ask what year the limousines are; you might be very surprised.

Make sure you get to view the inside and outside of the limousine you are intending to rent. This can be done either through your limo company’s website and their limo gallery, or you may wish to make arrangements to view the vehicle in person.

You may even want to go so far as to find out when the last time the limousine underwent ‘routine maintenance’. We have been asked this in the past, and it’s a completely reasonable question. However, this request may be a little bit of a stretch for some companies maintaining several of the same make, model and style of vehicle.
