Prom night is an exciting milestone, but as a parent, safety is your top priority. This guide helps you choose a safe, reliable limousine service for your teen's special night.
Safety Checklist for Prom Limos
1. Verify Proper Licensing
Ensure the limo company has:
- Valid Georgia limousine operating license
- Current insurance certificate (ask for proof)
- DOT number for interstate transport
- Business license in their operating city
2. Check Driver Qualifications
Professional chauffeurs should have:
- Commercial driver's license (CDL)
- Clean driving record
- Background check completion
- Years of professional driving experience
3. Inspect the Vehicle
Before booking, ask to see the actual vehicle. Check for:
- Working seatbelts for all passengers
- Emergency exits that function properly
- First aid kit on board
- Clean, well-maintained interior and exterior
- Working air conditioning/heating
Important Questions to Ask
- What's your policy on alcohol? Reputable companies have zero-tolerance policies
- Will the driver stay with the vehicle? Driver should remain throughout the rental
- Can I meet the driver beforehand? Good companies allow this
- What's your route policy? Driver should stick to pre-approved routes
- How do you handle emergencies? Company should have 24/7 support
- What's the cancellation/refund policy? Get it in writing
Red Flags to Watch For
Avoid companies that:
- Can't provide proof of insurance immediately
- Offer prices significantly below market rate
- Won't let you inspect the vehicle
- Have primarily negative online reviews
- Don't have a physical business address
- Won't provide a written contract
- Push you to book without proper information
Setting Rules with Your Teen
Before prom night, discuss:
- Approved pickup and dropoff locations only
- No alcohol or prohibited substances
- Seatbelt requirements at all times
- Respectful treatment of the driver and vehicle
- Emergency contact procedures
- Expected return time
Prom Night Communication Plan
- Get the driver's direct phone number
- Have your teen text when they arrive at each location
- Set check-in times throughout the evening
- Know the planned itinerary and stick to it
- Save the limo company's 24/7 number
Cost-Saving Tips
Prom limos don't have to break the bank:
- Split costs with other parents (larger vehicle = lower per-person cost)
- Book early for better rates (2-3 months ahead)
- Choose Thursday prom dates if possible (lower demand)
- Opt for 4-hour packages instead of all-night rentals
