The Limousine Hire Guide

Class and prestige are the first thoughts when thinking of traveling by limousine. Being chauffeured around in a limo shows a level of prestige typically associated with celebrities and millionaires. With the use of a limousine service, you create an air of sophistication; clearly you know what you like.

Traveling in a limo is an experience that is unmatched. The comfort of the vehicle is integral to your trip. With that in mind, limousine manufacturers ensure that seats are soft and luxurious. In this level of extravagance, you and your party enjoy the space as you travel.

A chauffeur is a critical part of the limousine experience. They are trained to provide you with the amenities only found on a limo. Not only are chauffeurs dressed to impress, but they are also very well versed in traveling through Sydney. With their knowledge of the area, traffic patterns, and other tips only chauffeurs know, your trip flows perfectly. Their timing is impeccable, ensuring you arrive on time.

Types of Limousines Available in Sydney

The typical image of a limousine is of a long, black, and sleek looking limo. This is certainly one of the many options available through luxury car services. However, there is a much larger selection of vehicles available to you. The choices are numerous, and there are advantages for all the different services available. The fleet from Lux Limousines Sydney includes a range of limos including tghe ones below.

Standard Limousines

Standard limos are the classic limo. Limousines are available in many colours, although black does seem the most traditional. Standard limos are available with different configurations to match your party’s requirements. These vehicles typically have room for four to six passengers and focus more on travel than party space. The traditional limousine makers include Ford, Jeep, and Chrysler.

Stretch Limos

For people looking to make more of a statement or who require more space to handle larger groups, a stretch limo fits the bill. The size of these vehicles usually accommodates groups of eight to 10 people. With the increase in space, stretch limousines can offer more amenities. Lounges, bars, and sound systems of stretch limousines are bigger, compared to the smaller standard limos.

Super Stretch

In situations where a stretch limo isn’t enough, super stretch limos are larger and more accommodating. Super stretch limousines provide even more space, comfort, and entertainment options. These huge automobiles often have room for a party in the car itself. Super stretch limousines are a great choice for large gatherings. The Hummer is a common base body type for these types of vehicles. Many super stretched Hummers have two or more axles on the back of the vehicle to deal with the extra weight requirements. This vehicle, a large Hummer Limo, has integrated surround systems, VIP lounge, and a great deal more. It seats up to 22 passengers and also has a raised roof to increase the comfort of your group.

Corporate Cars

Not all events require a long and sleek vehicle. For short and simple trips where you want to make an impression, a corporate sedan works well to provide the class and luxury without the big show. Corporate cars are usually used to provide hotel and airport shuttles, as well as other transportation solutions. The corporate cars are driven by professional chauffeurs who take your comfort extremely seriously. Common cars used for corporate car hires include BMW and Audi sedans. These types of vehicles can transport groups between one and four people, depending on the model hired.

Luxury Cars

Driving an exotic sports car is thrilling. Limo hire companies also have a fleet of luxury cars available to rent.

What to Look for When Hiring a Limousine

The company you employ for your limousine needs makes or breaks your occasion. For the best service be sure to take your time in looking for a great company. Here are some of the best resources to look at when picking your limousine company:

  • Company website: The corporate website provides a significant amount of information. From a website, you should get an idea of the events the company provides services for and the corporate brand. Many service providers also include testimonials and pictures of its fleet.
  • Your hotel concierge: The concierge is there to make your time in Sydney as enjoyable as possible. The front desk of your hotel works with reliable companies to help you enjoy your stay.
  • Review websites: Impartial reviews describe other customers’ experiences. These reviews let you know what to expect from a company and give you the confidence in your choice. As review sites are third-party, you get a better idea of the level of service than what you can find on the company’s website.

Be sure to check their safety record, operational policies, and past customer experiences. These points of information all help you choose the right company for your occasion. Read the fine print before signing any contracts. Time overage fees, cancellation policies, and other small print items are important to understand. Make sure you are getting what you desire by carefully looking at the agreement.

Many service providers offer special pricing for certain events. For example, one company offers a Chrysler Limo & Chrysler Sedan Package for $1499 AUD for five hours. Other companies offer wedding packages that start around the $700 AUD range. There are also tourist packages available, where you purchase a tour of the Sydney region.
