Cowboy’s Limousine’s Prom Limo Checklist

Pre-Booking Essentials

Vetting and making sure you know prices and limo company policies are essential. Here are some pre-booking essentials:

• Check reviews on Google Business Profiles and social media
• Verify licenses, insurance, and safety certifications
• Ask for pricing and package options
  Check add-ons (decoration services and red carpets)
• Check cancellation and refund policies
• Ask if drivers are background-checked

Vehicle Selection

When choosing a vehicle, whether a limo or a party bus, ensure everything’s in order and up to your standards. Here are some things to consider:

• Choose your limo: Lincoln, Cadillac, Hummer, or party bus
• Match the limo the size of your group (a Hummer limo can take up to 20 passengers)
• Choose your add-ons: soft drinks, special themed decorations, specific playlists
• Confirm functioning A/C
• Confirm cleanliness (ask for photos of the limousine)

Payment Options

Knowing how to pay for your limo is crucial. Most limo companies take credit cards, while others use other methods like Zelle and even PayPal. Reputable companies will provide safe ways to pay and even take cash upfront.

• Confirm the accepted payment method (credit card, cash, wire transfers, etc)
• Ask about suggested tipping guidelines
• Ask about extra fees in case of accidents

Booking & Timeline Confirmation

Knowing that your booking is secured is the first step, but other aspects of the timeline of your service are crucial, so make sure to also check these out:

• Confirm your booking with the company
• Confirm pickup and dropoff times
• Ask for the driver’s name and contact information
• Ask for your invoice and payment receipt
• Verify contractural details

Personalization & Extras

If you want extra personalization for your limo ride, make sure you jot them down on your checklist. Here are some things you can check for:

• Rules about interior decor (confetti or items that might stain seats)
• Sound system type
• Bluetooth connectivity
• AUX Cord
• Prom night playlist

Day-of-Prom

No one wants something to go wrong on one of the most important nights of high school. Make sure you have a checklist to ensure everything goes smoothly.

• Re-confirm pick-up time and location with the company
• Re-confirm drop-up time and location with the company
• Pack an emergency kit (phone chargers, medications, safety pins, etc)
• Ask about overtime policies

Then, when the limo arrives to pick you up, it’s always important to inspect the vehicle and gather your group.

• Make sure the limo is clean.
• Make sure the A/C is working properly
• Check for all extra amenities asked for in the contract
• Make sure your party is on time to depart

Drop-Off at the Venue

Your drive will be waiting for you at the exact pickup time at your high school, but it’s always important to double-check the following:

• Items left behind (phones, bags, and other valuables)
• Reconfirm pickup time at prom with your driver

Post-Prom Essentials

After a fun night and when everything’s run smoothly, there are some things to remember:

• Tip your driver if tip wasn’t included in the package
• Collect all personal items from the limousine or party bus
• Leave a Google review to help the limo company and other prom-goers if you had a great experience!
• Tag the limo service on your pictures if you’ve gathered some insta worthy moments inside the vehicle

Parental Considerations

As for parents, we also have some considerations in mind:

• Make sure you have the driver and limo company’s number at hand
• Share your number with the limo company and the driver
• Verify the company strictly prohibits alcohol in the limo for underage passengers
  If rain is forecast, ask about umbrellas or covered drop-offs.
