Hiring a Limo Company

April 17th, 2009 at 1:35 pm by Kelly Welsh under 10 On Your Side

It’s Prom season again, and that means many will be shopping for a Limousine.  Unfortunately, not all Limo companies are on the up and up.  Before signing on the dotted line, know what you are getting into. We’ve heard horror stories where the limo driver never shows up or if the limo gets there,  it looks like something out of a horror movie.  I certainly don’t want that to happen to you.  Take the time and do some investigating before committing to anything.

According to the Virginia Assocation of Limousines:  

Members of the VLA also participate in the Prom Pledge  which promises not to allow the use of  illegal drugs, tobacco, or alcohol in any vehicle during the prom and graduation season.  
Please check out my latest web report, under 10 On Your Side, for more information and links to the Virginia Limousine Association and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. I want to say thank you to Paul Walsh, President of the VLA  for providing good information for our viewers and to Bill Stevens with B & L Limousines for taking us on a  quick limo ride for our story.

    I’m sorry to hear about the problem that the students in Chesapeake experienced with a limo company cancelling services the day before the prom. We received the call from Ms. Dilley last night and was prepared to assist in providing our Nationally Recognized 24 Passenger Executive Coach. We understood WAVY had contacted Carey and got a minibus for them. Carey is a great company and I’m sure the students will enjoy their prom. The steps listed above should always be followed when booking a limo or charter bus. Thanks WAVY for posting this blog.
