Friday 13th no Problem for Lancaster Prom

It was extremely hot when we picked-up our group for the Lancaster Central Junior Prom. The pick-up point is so exclusive, so secretive, it isn't on the map! But we found it anyway and had a great time aboard our 20 passenger stretch Hummer.
Before the prom we had a few extra moments so I decided to show the group around the waterfront. Some of our guests had never seen the Naval Park and were impressed by the retired naval ships that are moored there. We met some fishermen and took a moment at the Vietnam Memorial before heading to the prom at the Buffalo Convention Center.

The prom ended at 11:00 PM, and we were loaded by 11:03 PM--and that's exactly when the rain started. A tremendous downpour engulfed downtown. We huddled and assessed our options, deciding to venture on to Niagara Falls despite the rain.
The gamble paid-off, we had a nice view of the Falls and then meandered home. Thank you to the students and parents who chose Buffalo Limousine for their prom transportation.

Frontier Senior Prom

We had a lot of fun at the Frontier Senior Prom. The day started out sunny and very hot--the group went to the Hyatt Hotel for the dinner and dance. Afterwards we headed for Niagara Falls and a little exploring of Goat Island. We topped-off the evening at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Tips for Renting a Limousine for your Prom

Teenagers put a lot of preparation into their prom night plans. Transportation to the big event is an important detail that can add to the magic of the evening, or cause serious problems. Here are some tips parents and prom goers should review if they are using chauffeured transportation:

1-Couples who rent a limousine as a group typically see the best value for their money. It is best to calculate the cost per passenger when assessing which vehicle to choose. Established companies provide pricing on-line, to make it easier for you.

2-When you rent a limousine for a high school prom, you're usually buying 4 or 5 hours of service. When the group 'goes over' the allotted time there are additional charges. Keep on schedule by minimizing the number of pick-ups and drop-offs for your group. Have everyone from the group meet at one central location for pre-prom pictures. It's a great way for the parents to meet and take pictures of the entire group.

3-Reputable limousine companies are more than happy to provide a contract for you to sign. This outlines both parties' rights and responsibilities. The contract protects prom passengers by guaranteeing vehicles, hours of service and professionalism. Also, ask the limousine operators about their insurance coverage; companies that carry the minimum may also provide the minimum in service.

4-Choose your group wisely. Remember that the passenger who signs the contract is responsible for any damages caused by group. Make certain that the people in your group are trustworthy and conscientious. Smoking or drinking alcohol in the limousine will end the night early for your group.

5-Reserve your limousine early! Most proms are scheduled in a six week period from mid-May to June. Demand for limousines is high during this period. Reserving early gives you the best selection.

6-Ask around! Maybe there are some recent graduates you know who've used a limo for their prom. First hand experience with a limousine company is a great way to find a good provider. If you call a limousine company and they are booked the night of your prom, ask them for a referral. Limousine companies know the other reputable players in town, so use them as a resource.

7-Look for value, not the cheapest rate. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for.
