Looking to hire a luxury limo for a hen party or special night to truly remember? This article shows how easy it is to book a limousine whether it is a bright pink stretch limousine, a traditional white wedding limo or even a pink fire engine limo to really make everyone stare. And the costs are not as high as you may think.
Limousines for Hire
A few years ago, finding limousines for hire was a real challenge. Most were privately owned making it a long laborious process getting quotes from private individuals in order to check prices. Big limousine companies existed but were largely used for corporate functions and rich clientele as the costs were too high for ordinary people, not least the average bride-to-be looking for a fun way to celebrate her hen night.
A quick search on the internet today, however, will reveal hundreds of companies offering limo hire from small private businesses to large operations offering luxury limo car hire on a nationwide basis through a network of limo owners.
Pink Limo Hire
It’s important to get at least three quotes from different car hire companies so first decide on the type of limousine required. Girls on a hen night may want to opt for pink luxury limo hire while a more traditional celebration may call for a classic white stretch limousine.
Average length limousines can seat 8-10 people depending on the interior layout but there are also super stretch limos for larger groups of up to 20 people and some of these cars, like the extravagant Hummer limo, complete with interior bar and disco, can be hired as an actual party venue rather than as pure transport.
Cost of Limo Rentals
Very few limo companies online give any indicative pricing as each booking is unique but the major factors which determine the cost of limo rentals are as follows:
- Length of drive time required.
- Pick-up and drop-off locations and whether the chauffeur is required to wait outside each bar or restaurant.
- Number of people in the party.
- Any special theme required for interior limo decoration.
- Cost of any alcoholic drinks supplied on board.
- Special requests.
As a guideline however, a standard length luxury limo hire in a major city like London for around an hour (a good option to start a hen night with a glass or two of champagne) with a short drive and drop-off at a restaurant or bar will cost around £150 - £200, a relatively small cost when split between the entire group.
Most limousine rental companies offer special packages for hen nights and wedding parties so ask for details to keep costs down.
Hire a Stretch Limo
Anyone wanting to hire a luxury stretch limo for a hen party or other special event just needs to get a few initial quotes online and then talk to the relevant limousine companies to finalise details and get the best limo hire deal. Whatever style of limo is chosen, everyone in the party is sure to feel like a celebrity, even if it is only for an hour or two.
