How long do I rent a limo for my wedding?

Question

I am getting married in October 09 at a golf course. The wedding and reception is at one location. Everyone is staying at hotels in the area. I am getting ready at the hotel as well. My wedding starts at 6pm and ends at 11pm. I would love to rent the limo all night but it will cost a fortune. How long do people normally rent the limo? We are going to need to get back to hotel after reception at 11pm.

Answer 1

Where I live most limo companies have a "minimum" rental charge of 4 hours. Talk to a few companies near you and see what they can do. Some charge less when the driver is just waiting on you - others have an hourly rate that they don't change for anything. You may need to rent the limo starting at 5pm and ending at 12 am (7 hours) in order to make everything work.

Answer 2

renting one to take you there and one to pick you up sounds like the best option. i know weddings get pricey. my uncle had a classic mercedes and he drove my cousin to her wedding and it looked so nice. maybe you could get a similar situation arranged.

congrats!

Answer 3

rent it to drive you there and then rent one to bring you home

Answer 4

You can rent one to pick you up at the hotel and then to drop you back off at 11 pm.  You will probably have to pay for 2 hours, but that would cost your less than $250 I believe.  

You should book early though, October is a popular month to get married and limo companies can make a lot more money renting a limo for an all day wedding package ($700-1000), so you want to get your contract signed and guaranteed ASAP, to ensure there is a company willing to just book for 2 hours.

Answer 5

have it from when you leave the hotel to the ceremony/reception and come back for 11 till whenever you go back to the hotel
