When people think of transportation services, many will automatically assume a limo. However, there are so many other more logical and fun vehicles available, it is important to explore all your options. The first thing to consider is what you need the transportation for.
For example, a five person ladies night out is a little different than a 30 person birthday party. The size of the vehicle will depend solely on the number of people involved. Limos are not that easy to get in and out of, so it is important to consider other luxury cars, charter buses, or shuttle buses for easy travel.
Another thing to consider is distance. Do you need transportation to go five minutes from a hotel to a venue or do you need a vehicle to drive you an hour from your home to a club downtown. This is important because you want to be comfortable if you will be traveling a great distance. You also want to be economical in what you choose to reserve.
The third thing you want to consider is how much you will need the vehicle. Is this a simple ride or are you going to need an all-night party bus? The last thing you want to do is shell out the money for transportation services only to realize half way through the night that you made a poor choice and your guests are all uncomfortable and grumpy.
If the night is going to include drinking or a late night out, for safety reasons, transportation service is the way to go. The driver will make sure everyone makes it back safely and legally. Even if you have a designated driver, staying out really late means your driver will be tired. Even if you have people in the party that do not drink anyway, it will be more fun for them if they aren’t responsible for making sure everyone gets home.
When planning transportation, it is important to make sure you make reservations well in advance. Especially for weekend events, most service companies book up quickly, and you do not want to get stuck making reservations with a less than reputable company.
