Tips For Booking a Party Bus For Prom

4/5/2012

40 Comments

 
It's that time of year! Prom Season! Time for all of the girls to get all dolled up and for the guys to sport their slick suits & tuxedos. A very fun and memorable night for all! Everyone is scrambling to find the perfect dress, where to get their pictures taken, and locking in the perfect party bus, limo or stretch hummer for their groups.  Well, I'm hear to help you out with prom transportation for your big day! 

There are many companies that will look to take advantage of high school students trying to book transportation for the dance. Below are tips to make sure you have the upper hand when talking to limo companies and how to book the best vehicle with the best company for Prom!

A couple pointers:

- Call early! The further you call in advance the better chance you will get the date and vehicle you want. Everyone is scrambling to book their party bus in the final 30 days and limo company's will charge more once they see the demand increasing.

- It will be very difficult to find any company to book anything less than 3 hours, especially in prom season.

- A split is a common way of charging a prom or any dance: They will "split" your 3 or 4 hours of transportation between the ride to the prom and the ride after. Example:  For 3 hours you can use 1 hour before to drive to the prom and cruise around for 2 hours after prom, which equals your 3 hours. 

- Take a look at the companies reviews on Yelp.com, if they do not have great reviews there is probably a reason for it. (Here is a LINK to Limotainment's, look for something like this)

- Be weary of any companies that say they have a ton of vehicles. A lot of the time they really have only 1 or 2 and the rest are stock photos you will find on a simple Google image search. These companies will book your business, take a cut of the cash and then place your event with a random company. You will not know the reputation of this company and the vehicle that rolls up to your door will not be the same one you saw in the pictures 90% of the time. A good way of testing this is to ask to see the vehicle in person. Say "My schedule is completely flexible the next few weeks; when can come and see the vehicle in person?" If they say you can't see it or come up with excuses... they don't own it!

- Also, when solidifying a booking with a company it may be best to put a parent on the line, not that you can't do it yourself but it will help ensure there is less of a chance of any shadiness from the company.

Please reach out to me with any questions you may have and good luck with your search! Hopefully  Limotainment be a part of your next school dance!

Feel free to e-mail me at  myonk@limo-tainment.com for any further advise.

Thanks for mentioning how some companies will let you split your 3 hours between 1 hour before the prom and 2 hours after. My friends and I want to straight to the dance and then drive around town after. If we got a limo rental that let us split the time, that would be perfect for what we want.

Thanks for pointing out that the company will be able to split your hours up to use some before the prom and others after. My friends and I thought it would all be fun to hire a party bus for prom since none of us have dates. I will definitely talk to the party bus company we end up hiring from to make sure that we split up our time into one hour before the dance and three hours afterward.

This has been extremely beneficial since my daughter was thinking about getting a party bus for her formal dances at school! Just as you mentioned, it will be difficult to find anything that is around 3 hours prior to your event, so you should look to plan in advance. Thanks again for the post, and I will make sure that my daughter splits the hours so that they can use the service optimally.

If you are going to try and get a bus for prom I like your advice on calling ahead. You want to avoid waiting until the last minute and risk not getting a bus for your party. Prom is going to be a busy time and chances are there are other people wanting to do the same thing.

My sister was so jealous of her friends, last time since they were able to rent a bus in going to the prom. That's why we're currently looking for a charter bus right now that she and her girlfriends could rent. I'll make sure to be weary of my dealings since you've mentioned that there are companies that lie about the number of cars they cater to wherein fact. they only use one.
