Popular limo types

In general limos are owned by wealthy people but in many cases governments, big companies and broadcasters to convey their top level politicians, executives and guests respectively also own it. These cars are believed or observed as symbols of wealth.

Limo hire service is becoming more popular with a lot of people nowadays, whether it is for a wedding, prom night, or even just for a date. Since most limo hire services are not that cheap, it is important for people who do intend to rent one to get the most out of their money, especially if you are shelling out a lot of cash for it.
Chrysler 300 has become an increasingly common sight on our roads. Unlike the Lincoln and Cadillac, which do not disguise their origins, the Chrysler is an all new, modern design, commanding real ‘presence’ on our roads, even though Chrysler had never envisaged that the Chrysler 300 would end up being stretched.

There’s a few special events that you should consider using a limo. Taking a limo really spices up the event or evening and makes everything either more fun or more specials (or both!). Here’s a few events for when you should use a limo hire service:

• Wedding. This is another event. Your princess is going to want this day to be as memorable and special as daddy can afford - consider limo hire!
• Prom. Of course! This is already a special night for your son or daughter, go ahead and treat them to a really special time. If several couples’ parents go in on the limo hire, the price shouldn’t be that bad.
• Casino night.
• Bachelor or Bachelorette Party. How many crazy guys or girls can you cram into a limo for a wild night out on the town?

 The Hummer is the road going version of the American military vehicle the Humvee and American coachbuilders have been stretching them for over 5 years. The H2, because of its size, is the the more popular model and it is not unusual to see models in the United States, stretched by up to 240″ (some even longer) and advertised as being capable of carrying up to 26 passengers. There are a few of the ‘larger’ H2 limousines in the UK, not least because there are very strict rules in terms of their use as a hire or reward vehicle. Some of the very latest model H2’s may have a Certificate of Initial Fitness, but these will be the exception to the rule, which means a maximum of 8 passengers when offered for hire or reward, irrespective of size.

Amongst the larger ‘SUV’ style limos is the Ford Excursion, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, Hummer H2 and Hummer H3. Many are advertised as being capable of carrying more than 8 passengers, however, unless they are being offered on a self-drive hire basis, they cannot carry more than 8 passengers unless they have a Certificate of Initial Fitness (possible, but rare) and the company must have a Bus Operators Licence. Some companies are getting around this problem by registering the limo as a private minibus, using a self-drive hire contract and a ‘contracted in’ chauffeur employed by the hirer. Again, some of these limos are more popular than others.
There are many aspects to consider regarding limo hire services. To minimize costs and maximize your fun, here are a few limo hire tips. Since prices vary with each limo hire firm, you should shop and compare rates at a few local companies before committing yourself to one limo hire service.
