What to Ask A Limo Company

Don’t you ever wish that the first time you worked with a new company, you knew how to “tell” whether or not they were going to deliver on the value you pay them?

True: no one customer has a crystal ball. Just like investing in the stock market, making a purchase is a risk—a risk that you hope you’ll get your money’s worth. And when you purchase a service like a limousine, the risk feels even greater. There has to be some way of knowing left from right when you buy from a limousine company, right?

We think there is. Here are three important questions that will help you discern whether or not a limousine company is willing to go the extra mile for you.

Use a Limousine to Explore and Tour Your Home Town

We know what you’re thinking. “Sightseeing? In my hometown? You have to be crazy. I’ve seen it all!”

You’d be surprised. Whether you’re talking about a historic city like Charleston or a large metropolitan hub somewhere else, it’s difficult to see all your city has to offer—even if you’ve had a lifetime in which to do it. Organizing a limousine sightseeing tour isn’t only a great way to have a night out on the town, it’s a great way to get to know the city you know and love.

How to Surprise Someone with a Limousine

When most people think about limousines, they think about special occasions – the kind of celebrations that involve large groups pooling their money together, or splurging for the one-time expense for a wedding or other special occasion. Many think about limousines not as potential gifts, but as an “occasional” indulgence that can only happen on those major occasions.

You, however, are not most people.

If you enjoy thinking outside the box, then it’s not hard to see how you might use a limousine in your life: as a gift, as a way to give someone a unique experience, and as a way to turn a regular occasion like a birthday or an anniversary into something else entirely.

A Limo Drive Away For the Perfect Wedding

You have every detail imagined: the perfect wedding. You know what food you’re going to serve guests. You know where the wedding is going to take place. You know how good the invitations will look, down to the designs on the inside of the card. You’ve got it all figured out…except that one thing that so many people overlook in this day and age: what we like to call the “drive away.”

The drive away is simple: it’s that moment the bride and groom drive away as dozens of well-wishers send them off with applause, throwing rice—the whole nine yards. Of course, in this day and age, exiting the wedding simply means heading to take photos with the wedding party or simply heading to the reception hall. But no matter where you’re headed after that, there’s no doubting that the drive away will be one of the most memorable moments of your life.

In short, it’s one of those moments that you want to get right.

Why You Need a Limousine This Summer

Summer is a time associated with fireworks, hot dogs, backyard barbecues, and fun with friends. So where, you might ask, does a limousine enter the picture? Or even, should a limousine enter the picture?

Well, call us biased as a limousine company, but we don’t think a limousine should exactly be out of your plans. But we’re not going to waste your time telling you that’s the case: instead, we’re going to tell you why.

The Top 10 Reasons to Use a Limo this Summer

It’s summertime. That means there will be beach parties, celebrations, weddings, and fun events all over the landscape in Charleston. It also means that there’s never been a better time to get around in style by using a limousine.

Of course, a phrase like “getting around in style” is a little vague. What exactly do we mean by that? And what advantages will you realize by using a limousine this summer? We’ve put together a list of our top ten reasons to use a limousine service in the summer, and we think you’ll agree: they make a pretty good argument.

Five Advantages to Using a Professional Limo Service

When it comes to any business, there are two essential grades that customers have to choose from: amateur and professional. True, many technically professional services might be able to call themselves professionals, but you’ll often find that professionalism is sorely lacking in some small companies.

This is often true in limousine companies, where it’s easy to tell between the two-bit amateur operations and the larger companies that truly care about the experience of their customers. Marquee Limousine Co, of course, prides itself in being the latter. But we wouldn’t do that without telling you what exactly separates our services from all the rest.

Is a Low-Cost Limousine Really Worth the Savings?

There’s a reason the word “cheap” comes with more connotations than a more innocent word like inexpensive. When you buy something that’s “cheap,” you sometimes have to deal with the consequences of its low price: shoddy service, poor product construction, and more.

If you’re looking for a low-cost limousine ride for your next big occasion, it will help to know the difference between cheap and affordable, between shoddy and inexpensive—between low-quality and high-quality. Read more on “Is a Low-Cost Limousine Really Worth the Savings?” »
