Few Words of Advice On Choosing Limosine Servise For Prom

Regulated Vehicles Help Ensure a Safe, Smooth Ride. 

As prom and wedding season approaches, we would like to make sure that you make informed, safe decisions when selecting a transportation service for your special occasion. Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind when choosing a limousine company.

All limousines operating in Philadelphia are regulated by the Philadelphia Parking Authority, which includes annual vehicle inspections, background checks on drivers, verification of insurance coverage and rate filings. By law, any company that advertises or offers limousine services in Philadelphia must have PPA license. All PPA licensed vehicles could be easily identified by the PPA sticker at the right bottom corner of the windshield.

Limousine brokers do not have actual vehicles, but coordinate transportation service (as middlemen) between customers and the limousine companies. When negotiating, remember that PPA does not regulate brokers. Customers should keep in mind that photos on broker's websites most likely do not represent the actual vehicles that are used.  In many instances, brokers websites provide false and/or misleading information to consumers.

Prospective limousine customers should follow these strategies before signing a contract:

•Ask for the company’s PPA and/or PA PUC number

•Inspect the vehicle personally

•Know the difference between a limousine broker and the actual limo company

•Review all terms outlined in the contract

•Contact Philadelphia Parking authority to verify that a company is authorized to provide transportation services in the City of Philadelphia.

Reputable limousine companies also adhere to state laws regarding underage drinking.

A driver may refuse to transport students home if they appear to be drunk, are combative, or have tobacco or drugs. It is not uncommon for limos to prohibit students from bringing outside beverages, snacks or containers (other than a clutch purse) into the vehicle.

We hope you enjoy your proms by using safe, reliable Philadelphia limousine companies.

We want you to remember this night for all of the right reasons!
