Before Hiring a Limo Know the Basic Etiquettes - 5 Tips 

A ride in a swanky limousine lends a touch of luxury to any occasion be it your wedding, a birthday part or special Monterey tour or say day long Napa Valley wine tours. But to really enjoy a ride in your favorite limo it is essential to follow certain basic etiquettes.

For hiring a limo from any of your city's limousine providers you are taking the pain to search a service provider, selecting a model and finalizing the deal. On top of that you are also paying for the service and everything is done for a memorable day in your life that can be cherished for years to come. So, it is important that you follow certain essential etiquettes of riding in a luxurious limousine.

1. Treat the limo driver and the vehicle with respect

Limo models are very expensive and must be treated with care. While hiring a limousine for a day never take it for granted that you can do anything with the model. Think of it as your own property while you are using it so that the model can be maintained by the service provider and others can use it in future.

And as the limo driver will be your company for the whole day make sure that your behavior does not hurt his feelings. Moreover there are many limousine providers in big cities who because of use of lewd behavior and harassment of any type shown towards the limo driver can even terminate the agreement of your limo ride.

2. Maintain the seating capacity

During the hiring process of a limo, the limo providers tell in clear words the exact seating capacity of a model. Every limousine model comes with a pre-fixed seating capacity and it is important for the passengers to respect that passenger limit. This is important for both the safety of the passengers and the maintenance of the vehicle. In case of violation of this very law the limousine service providers have the right to terminate the service agreement.

3. Follow the local rules and regulations

People who have hired a limo must follow the local rules applicable in that particular area. Such rules set by the legal authorities differ from region to region. The rules include prohibition against passengers standing up through the sunroof, consumption of alcohol by the underage passengers, use of illegal drugs and so on.

4. Take care of personal belongings

The limo passengers must bring valuables at their own risk. In no way the limo driver or the limousine service provider is responsible for its safety. In case the valuables get lost or get damaged the passengers cannot blame the limo driver. It is important for the passengers to take care of their property and must not leave behind valuables in the car while they are not traveling in it.

5. Give a tip to the limo driver

When a limo driver is doing everything to make your journey comfortable and memorable, it is a good gesture to reward him at the end. A limo driver deserves a gratuity of 15 to 20%. The tip should be enclosed in an envelope must be handed to the limo driver directly at the end of the day.

Always make sure that you don’t break any of these rules. Follow these basic etiquettes of limo service for a memorable limo ride.
