How Much to Rent A Limousine?
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is "How much to rent a limousine?". Well, such a general question is difficult to answer without more information. Costs to rent a limousine are based on 5 factors.


PROM RENTAL COST ESTIMATES? 

Rental Costs Depend on 5 Factors:
1) Size and type of vehicle
2) Day of week
3) Time of year
4) Company Policy
5) Geographic Region

Size & Type of Vehicle
The larger the limousine and passenger capacity, the more costly the rental will be. The following is a list of average prices for limo rentals based on nationwide averages.

Luxury Sedans ~~~ $30-50/hour
Six-Passenger Limousines $40-65/hour
Eight-Passenger Limousines $50-85/hour
Ten-Passenger Limousines $60-100/hour
Twelve-Passenger Limousines $85-120/hour
Fourteen-Passenger Limousines $95-150/hour
Stretch Hummers $125-200/hour
Stretch Navigators $125-200/hour
Passenger Vans $40-70/hour
Mini-Buses $75-125/hour
Limo-Coaches (Limostyle bus) $100-175/hour

Day of Week
Limousine rental demand is higher on the weekend, Friday night and Saturday all day, therefore cost to rent the limousine is higher on those days. If you prefer to spend less, try to hold your event on a day Sunday through Thursday.

Time of Year
During the month of March, April, May, and early June is a time period where limousine rentals are most costly. Due to proms, spring weddings, and spring break travelers, limousine rental prices will increase by as much as 30% during this time frame! In these spring months, the demand for limousines often exceed the pool of vehicles available which drive prices up. Minimum hourly booking requirements often inflate beyond 4 hours. 

Company Policy
Rental policies vary with every service. Ask your chosen company how they charge for hourly rentals. Some events (like concerts) have "idle" time in between pickup and drop off which will create differences among companies how this idle time is charged.

Geographic Region
Another determinant of rental cost is geographic region. There is significant disparity for limousine rental costs across the country and in the world. Here are some examples. 
 

HIGHER COSTS
New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles

LOWER RELATIVE COST
Orlando, Tampa, Phoenix

Prom Rental Costs
Limousine rental prices during prom season are quite high due to demand.  Spring break, proms, weddings occur during this time frame which drive prices and minimum hourly booking requirements UP. Here is what you can expect to pay for a prom limousine rental on your prom night.

Six-Passenger Limo -- $350-$600
Eight Passenger Limo -- $400-$700
Ten Passenger Limo -- $450-$800
