Choosing a Limousine Operator for your Prom 

Proms and other formal high school dances pose a particular problem for both the limousine operator and for the limousine renter.  What is the best method for ensuring a happy, safe evening for the young passengers while providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience that they won’t soon forget? 

The answer is really very simple.  Choose a limousine operator who is licensed in your area – one who has experience with Proms.

The bottom line for parents is this:  Make sure you check out the limousine operator and make sure you choose one that complies with all local, provincial and federal laws pertaining to transporting juveniles.  Parents should also ensure that the limousine operator they choose has the appropriate insurance coverage on all their vehicles, drivers and passengers. 

The bottom line for the students is this:  Select a limousine operator who offers late-model (less than 3 years old) vehicles and will show you the exact vehicle they will use to transport you.  You want a professional chauffeur who will get you safely to and from all your Prom activities. 

Of course, pricing is a huge issue for most Prom-goers.  You want to get the best value for your investment.  Many times, the low-price operator is not the best choice for you.  These operators may not be properly licensed or insured, or may employ unqualified or unlicensed drivers.   

As with any purchase, you should do your homework.  Take a look at their website but don’t be fooled by some websites with beautiful pictures of vehicles, great promises but without a physical address.  

You must be able to go to their location and see the limousines yourself. Visit the facility, look at the vehicles, ask which vehicle will be provided for your prom.  There are many “companies” on the internet with no limousines at all who will take the money from your credit card and never show up!! 

If they can not give you their physical address or they advertise in your area but their address is hundred of miles away, be very careful!

In order to ensure that you select a suitable limousine provider for your prom limousine needs, you should consider a few points. The first thing to do is to enquire about how many years the limousine company has been in business because experience is very important and it would also give an idea about reliability and service capabilities.

Erinmills Limousine Services has been serving the Greater Toronto area with professional ground transportation services since 2000.  We pride ourselves on providing outstanding customer service 24 hours a day, seven days a week – since we opened our doors.   

There is also need to know whether the limousine company has a license and does it have Federal authority to operate its vehicles, since the limousine company with a license is regulated and will thus be in a better position to provide customer satisfaction. 

Insurance and Vehicle Condition

The limousine that you hire from a limousine company should also be insured in case of an accident or other mishap. Make sure that they show you a Certificate of Coverage. There is also need to ascertain the condition of the prom limousine prior to renting it.  This can be done through viewing photographs on a website or personally visiting the company showroom.  

Once you have made sure that the prom limousine meets all conditions, you can expect to travel in style to and from the prom, ball, formal or other events.  

There are also limousine companies that have knowledgeable and attentive chauffeurs that know how to treat the customer and their friends on this dream night.   The prom limousine package may include complimentary soft-bar or no-liquor drinks. The rates vary and may cost between $450 for eight persons in a stretch limousine to $1500 for 30 people on a Party Bus.
