| We estimate that 95% of the limousine industry does not offer
limousine service for 1 hour (off seasons usually not an issue). To hire a limousine,
most services require a minimum hourly booking, typically 2-3 hours. In high demand
months, such as the summer, hourly minimums can increase. |
In addition, each limousine service charges a standard gratuity which
is based on the total fare. Gratuities averages are 15-20%. If your total
rental bill is $300, expect to be charged a $45-$60 gratuity charge. Some companies
automatically include gratuitiy in their fare estimates, while others do not. Either
way, it is customary to budget gratuity in your rental cost. Limousine chauffeurs
earn their living by gratuities much like waiters do in fine dining establishments. |
