Renting a Phoenix limo is one of those tasks you want to nail down early on. In fact, shortly after you plan a date and a location for your special occasion, you need to begin working out the transportation details. This is especially true if you are planning an event during a busy season such as summer or between Christmas and New Year's Day. Even though you'll find several Phoenix limousine services ready to help with your transportation needs, don't delay.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by all there is to do to get ready for that big day, remember this: There's nothing wrong with asking for help. You'd be surprised how many people are standing by waiting to be asked. Here are a few other tips that can help when you need to arrange a Phoenix limo to transport any size group.

Know what you need

Before you even begin searching for Phoenix limo rental agencies, it's a good idea to have firm dates and locations in mind. You also will need to know the number of individuals who will accompany you in the limousine. You want to make sure that the limousine you reserve will be able to accommodate everyone comfortably.

Also ask yourself whether you have a particular limousine color preference or particular limousine style in mind. Besides the standard stretch limo, you'll find that many Phoenix limousine rental agencies also offer Hummers, Escalades, super stretch limos and even the mighty Rolls Royce! Be sure to specify your desires when contacting the rental agency.

If you're not sure about the details of your transportation needs, you'll just be wasting your time and that of any Phoenix limousine services you contact prematurely.

Know what to ask

It's one thing to choose the right car from the fleet, but there's much more to ask about before choosing a Phoenix limousine service. Two important questions that can literally break your budget are whether the rental price you're being quoted includes the driver's gratuity and whether any drinks you pour from that fully-stocked bar that comes with the limo are complimentary. Enough said.

For some individuals and for some types of occasions, how the limousine driver is dressed is going to matter. If you have certain expectations of your driver's appearance, this is not the time to assume. It's better to find out beforehand that the driver doesn't own a tuxedo rather than being surprised when he or she shows up in casual dress.

Double check your reservation

To avoid any last minute disappointments, repeat this step multiple times. You want to double-check all details before you actually sign a Phoenix limousine rental agreement. Never assume that the information is correct. A typo made when entering the pick-up date will have disastrous consequences. You also want to call the Phoenix rental agency one week prior to the date of your special occasion just to make sure the rental information is still 'in the system' and that any monies due the rental company have been paid.
