Depending on what you need to hire a car service for will determine not just the rate but the type of service you should expect. Some people hire a limo for transporation to an airport while others are looking to hire a service for an afternoon to transport wedding guests, including the bride and groom, to their respective destinations. When you need Limos Washington DC you will get different quotes depending on your needs.
While you may be familiar with a cab service that makes their money on short, local trips, the same can not be said of a limo car service. In these instances they are booked for two to three hours at a time to help cover the costs of the vehicle themselves. The average brand new limousine purchase is anywhere from $70,000 to over $100,000. They have to book longer trips to pay for the overhead.
What you are booking for will determine your billing estimate. When you ask for an estimate, get this in writing. Look over your contract to see if there are such charges for highway tax, toll charges, or even wait time costs. These charges are not part of a business you can trust. If you are renting for a particular time frame, get a quote for an all-inclusive package so that you can not be charged for additional taxes and amenities that should be standard with your package.
When you have scheduled a trip with Limos in Washington DC for an event, remember that you are paying for the entire time that you need a service. If you are planning on attending a concert or perhaps just driving to dinner and dancing, you will be paying for the limo driver to wait while you are not in the vehicle.
Lastly, a very important question that comes up regularly when considering renting Limos Washington DC, is if you have to tip in addition to the contract price and the answer is yes. The standard in the service industry if you like the service, is a routine 15% of the bill. If you had excellent service then anything over 15% is acknowledged as such. Some companies however, include gratuity in their charge so make sure to clarify if that is included in the service. Again, if you have received excellent service and gratuity was already in the bill, feel free to tip additionally to the driver directly.
