9 Questions to Ask a Phoenix Limo Rental Company
If you are considering renting a limo for your next special event or personal occasion, you’ll want to ask the right questions to receive the best service possible.
Here are some questions you should ask a Phoenix limo rental company before booking…
- What types of limos are available for rent?
- Do I need to plan our route ahead of time?
- What’s included in my limo rental?
- What are your limo rental rates?
- How long can I rent the limo for?
- Is gratuity included in my limo rental rate?
- What is your cancellation policy for a limo rental?
- Do you have a limo rental contract?
- Are the limo drivers licensed, insured, and trained?
1. What types of limos are available for rent?
First, you’ll want to learn more about the limo types available for rent. Do they offer a diverse selection of limos? Can they accommodate large groups? Does the company have party buses or other unique styles of vehicles? It would help if you also asked about the specific make and model of the limo you would like to rent. Some people prefer certain luxury brands over others.
The type of limo rental will depend on factors such as what event or occasion it is needed for, how many people need to be transported, and your budget. Asking about the different types of limos available for rent will help you make an informed decision.

2. Do I need to plan our route ahead of time?
Most limo rental companies in Phoenix require that you provide a general idea of your planned route in advance. This way, they can ensure their driver is familiar with the area and will get you to your destination safely and efficiently. You’ll also want to inquire about additional fees associated with changes to your route or making multiple stops along the way.
3. What’s included in my limo rental?
Many companies include water and snacks in the limo. But it’s important to ask about this and other services beforehand. If the limo rental doesn’t include something you’re hoping for, you can look elsewhere for a better fit.
4. What are your limo rental rates?
Of course, you’ll want to know the rates for a Phoenix limo rental. Be sure to ask about their hourly costs and any additional fees that may apply, such as fuel surcharges, gratuity, or airport parking fees. It’s also helpful to find out if discounts or specials could help you save money on your rental.
5. How long can I rent the limo for?
Although most companies in Phoenix will give you a quote for an hourly rate, it’s important to ask how long you can rent the limo for. Some companies will include travel time in their quote, while others will not. Most companies have a minimum limo rental time of four hours, but some may be as low as two hours. Be sure to ask so you can plan accordingly.
6. Is gratuity included in my limo rental rate?
A typical tip for limo rental drivers should be 20% or more. If you don’t want to get caught off guard by an additional fee for the gratuity, be sure to ask if it’s included in your rate so you can budget accordingly. If it is a larger job, gratuity most likely will be included in the initial estimate.
7. What is your cancellation policy for a limo rental?
It’s also helpful to know the limo rental company’s cancellation policy. If you need to cancel your reservation, you’ll want to know upfront if you’ll be charged a fee and how much in advance you need to cancel before being charged. Typically, full refunds will be provided if the limo company is notified a week in advance.
8. Do you have a limo rental contract?
Always ask the Phoenix limo rental company you’re considering if they have a contract. This is important for several reasons:
- It protects you in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
- It ensures both parties are clear on the terms of the agreement.
- It gives you a point of reference should there be any service issues.
9. Are the limo drivers licensed, insured, and trained?
Choose a limo rental company that is licensed, insured, and has trained chauffeurs. Ask the company for their chauffeur requirements and testimonials from previous clients.
