Discounts: Ask about any available discounts. Many companies will offer discounts to the bride and groom when they reserve additional vehicles for their wedding day or for their bachelor or bachelorette parties.
Directions: Ask the company if the driver is familiar or well-acquainted with the area where you will be traveling. In either case, it is a good idea to send written instructions to the transportation company detailing the directions to where the bride is to be picked up, the church and reception location.
One bride had to direct the limo driver the whole way from her house to the church -- to say the least -- it did not make for an enjoyable or relaxing ride for a very nervous bride!
Wedding Specials or Packages: Ask about any "wedding specials" such as complimentary champagne, a red carpet or any other special services. Some companies offer various wedding packages including a super-stretch limousine, customized "Just Married" sign with the bride and groom's name and decorations to match the wedding colors.
Check References: As with all of your other wedding vendors, it is always important to check references. The company should be happy to share this information with you.
Confirm EVERYTHING: If you have any specific requirements of your transportation company, be sure to contact them as early as possible and put everything in writing. Your contract should include the type and size of the car, pick up and drop off times and locations, and any other specific instructions.
Confirm your reservation the week before the wedding and make sure they have all of the directions.
With a little extra effort up front, all you'll have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride!
