There is nothing quite like riding in limousines. For many, they may only get one or two times to do it in a lifetime. Others may find themselves in one every day. Whatever the case, there is a right way and a wrong way to act in someone else's luxury automobile, regardless of the circumstances. Learning the difference between the two can not only save you from embarrassment, it could prevent you being charged with extra fees should you be the one with your name on the contract. Here is a crash course in proper etiquette.
First of all, know your schedule and don't keep your driver and guests waiting. This should go without saying, but people have a tendency to get very lax with their scheduling when it comes to big events. Big events often go hand in hand with limousines, so it's easy to see how people could be confused. Remember that whoever paid for the ride is going to be charged the same amount whether there are people in the car or not, so you are paying for nothing if you are keeping the driver waiting.
Another tip to remember is to keep the guest list down. You'll have to tell the company how many guests you are expecting when you make arrangements for your car. Don't let that list get out of hand after you've made those arrangements. Limousines are big cars and they can carry a lot of people. But the company isn't going to set you up with their biggest ride if you tell them there's only going to be five people riding. So what happens when you show up with ten people? Everyone is going to have to pack on top of one another, and that's if the driver even allows it to begin with.
Finally, be respectful to the driver and to the car itself. You will be charged quickly and efficiently for any damage you bring to the vehicle, but that's almost beside the point. Wild nights can get out of hand, but there's no excuse for damaging other people's property with your antics. If you have a friend who is getting that far out of hand, perhaps you should arrange for them to find alternative transportation. Treat the driver as you would a good waiter. Better, even, as he has your entire night in his hands. Follow the usual tenets of good behavior and common manners and you'll do just fine on your ride.
